The actor’s choice of transportation to the premiere of A Complete Unknown give him a fresh everyman spin. Yet there was a distinct lack of puddle to his trousersLast night, at the London premiere of A Complete Unknown, Timothée Chalamet defied convention by turning up on a Lime bike. He rode the bike on to the red carpet, ended the ride on his phone and then carried on with the rest of the premiere as if nothing had happened. What a man.You can tell a lot about someone by the way in which they arrive at their own film premiere. The default is to arrive in a limo, looking beautiful with someone of equal beauty in tow, as a demonstration of status. Sometimes a star will bring their mother as a date – as Henry Cavill did to the premiere of The Witcher a few years ago – when they want to project an image of cosy, relatable approachability. Then there are those who will lean into the premiere as an opportunity to redefine their own personal brand, as Ryan Gosling did when he turned up t...

Combining ideas from therapy with physical activity can bring huge health benefits, say the therapists pioneering a holistic approachA paradox at the heart of current thinking on health is that we’re all aware, perhaps agonisingly so, that exercise is good for us and can be especially beneficial to mental health. As the number of people presenting to their doctors with mood disorders continues to climb, more GPs are urging us to exercise more. It has even been available on the NHS as treatment for mild mental health issues since 2019. But for many people, doing more exercise remains a hard ask.We all know we should do more exercise and arguments for its benefits hardly need repeating: improved blood pressure, better sleep, strength, mobility, confidence, mood and posture, perhaps even a better reflection when we look in the mirror.

The English midfielder has given Diego Simeone’s team balance – and helped them win 14 games in a rowBy Robbie Dunne for Opta AnalystAndrea Berta left Atlético Madrid earlier this month after a decade as the club’s sporting director. As a parting gift, he gave Diego Simeone a treasure chest of new signings.

Vladimir Gubarev’s tragic satire about the response to the nuclear disaster transfixed audiences and showed the absolute necessity of theatreI was pregnant when the terrifying radiation clouds came over Europe after the Chornobyl disaster. My interest was much greater as a result. I was at the Royal Shakespeare Company as a director at the time, and they had asked me to find a contemporary play for the next London season in 1987. By coincidence, I got a phone call from Michael Glenny, the translator. He had come across this play being done in Russia. Most of its regional theatres had ensemble troupes and they were all doing it. Vladimir Gubarev was the science editor of the newspaper Pravda and was one of the first journalists to step inside Chornobyl and witness what had happened. He was so horrified that he didn’t want to just write journalism. He’d never written a play before, but he went away to his dacha and wrote Sarcophagus. It dealt with what happened at the plant, but also ...

Nicole Kidman’s Babygirl, which features an erotic dairy-based scene, is the latest reminder of the debate about mature milk-drinkersSeveral years ago, I tried to impress a new girlfriend (now my wife) with my cultural credentials by dragging her to an off-off-off-off-Broadway play about psychedelics in a tiny East Village theatre. I can’t remember much about the play – other than it was terrible – but I will never forget the young man sitting in front of us. He arrived late, awkwardly clambered over a few people to get to his seat, and then proceeded to down a carton of milk. The lateness and the clambering I could excuse. But the milk-drinking? That was horrifying. There is something undeniably unsettling about adults who drink cold cow’s milk in public.I have tried to scrub the East Village milkman from my mind but I was reminded of the incident last week when Nicole Kidman chugged a glass of milk while accepting her award for best actress in the film Babygirl (which features an ...
