The British actor showed off his rippling muscles as he shot scenes on a local beach.

Also on set was his co-star Pete Davidson, who donned a pale yellow T-shirt with a graphic print, which had large stains on the front.

Brad Pitt’s production company, Plan B, is behind the upcoming movie.

The young family seem to be making the most of their time in the country, with Katy spotted at a café in Port Douglas and at the Lennon Bros Circus.

Indianna, who did not recognize Katy beneath her hat and sunglasses, told the Roar hitmaker she would have to wait until a table became available.

She then revealed Katy left a ‘generous’ tip when she left the café, but refused to specify the exact amount.

Orlando and Katy have been engaged since 2016 and have a one-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom.

Shocking Neighbors plot saw Chinese family accused of eating the dog

The Neighbors storyline they desperately want you to forget: Shocking early ’90s plot saw Chinese family on Ramsay Street accused of eating the Robinsons’ DOG

Footage has resurfaced of a problematic Neighbors storyline in which a Chinese family on Ramsay Street was accused of eating a dog.

In the extraordinary clip, which has gained attention on YouTube after the series finale last week, Jim Robinson’s daughter Julie Martin (played by Julie Mullins) accuses the Lim family of eating her missing dog.

‘That sort of thing might be acceptable in your country, Mrs Lim, but in Australia we consider it barbaric,’ Julie says.

A shocked Jenny Lim responds: ‘You think we ate her? This is what you think of us. How dare you suggest such a thing. I’ve never been so insulted.’

The short-lived storyline, which reflected suburban prejudices about Asian Australians in the early ’90s, re-emerged after the Neighbors finale on Thursday night.

The last-ever episode of the long-running series, which first began in 1985, aired Down Under on Thursday and in the UK on Friday.

Now it has been confirmed that the fictional suburb of Erinsborough situated on Ramsay Street in Melbourne, Victoria, will be demolished.

Terry Smit of Go West, the team behind the official Neighbors tour, told the Daily Star: ‘We are advised by Fremantle Media that the sets will be dismantled and that the space will be used for their next project, whatever that may be.’

Mr Smit added: ‘As the sets are being dismantled, there is nothing left for us to tour, so the tour will be discontinued.’

Although Erinsborough is fictional, the tour’s website notes: ‘Ramsay Street is a real street where ordinary people live!’

The long-running Australian soap came to an end after 37 years last week.

The likes Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Guy Pearce and Margot Robbie returned to bid farewell to the show that launched their journeys to stardom.

The finale focused on Toadie’s (Ryan Moloney) wedding to Melanie (Lucinda Cowden) as he finally got his happily ever after.

Karl and Jasmine Stefanovic set sail on James Packer’s $250m superyacht

James Packer invited some of his famous friends to board his $250million superyacht in the South of France last Tuesday.

The Australian billionaire, 54, was joined on the luxury vessel by long-time pal Karl Stefanovic, his wife Jasmine and their two-year-old daughter Harper.

It was a family affair with Jasmine’s sister Jade Yarbrough also on board with her new boyfriend, the former Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke.

Jasmine, 38, a former model-turned-shoe designer, looked breezy in a white shirt and designer sunglasses as she chatted to James on deck.

A bikini-clad Jade, 30, stood nearby carrying her Niece Harper on her hip.

Michael, 41, was also spotted enjoying a day on the water with the cashed-up crowd, clad in a black T-shirt and shades.

The retired batsman, nicknamed ‘Pup’, has been dating interior designer Jade for several months now.

Today host Karl, 47, kept it casual in a black shirt left partially unbuttoned, and completed his look with a matching cap.

Meanwhile, James, who recently sold his stake in Crown Resorts for $3.3billion, looked slimmer than he has been in years in a loose black T-shirt and sweatpants.

The troubled businessman appears to have put a series of health issues behind him.

Like her big sister, Jade moved to Los Angeles to work for a marketing company in 2015, giving her the chance to rub shoulders with Jasmine's famous pals

The Daily Telegraph reports Michael (pictured) has become 'quite fond' of Jade in recent weeks

Michael (right) has been dating interior designer Jade (left) for several months now

In the last few months, he has lost 33kg (72lbs or 5.2st) and has also ditched the psychiatric medication that for so long altered his mood.

Packer told The Weekend Australian in June he was ready to start the ‘third act’ of his life, including a planned return to his home city of Sydney

‘I’m roughly 130kg now and want to be back to 100kg by the end of 2022. I want to swim with my kids at Bondi when we’re all in Sydney together next year and be 100kg,’ he said from his home in Mexico.

Packer revealed he’d quit the antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs he was taking, and was now looking to ‘rehabilitate’ his reputation in Australia.

‘I am very much looking forward to seeing Crown Sydney… it hasn’t been appropriate for me to be in Australia for the last few years,’ he said.

In a subsequent interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, Packer said he had lost a total of 33kg and counting by quitting alcohol, following a strict diet and exercise regimen, and limiting his daily calorie intake.

James Packer (pictured in October 2017) said in a recent interview he was excited to begin his 'third act' and plans to ease back into public life in Australia

He told the newspaper his life was ‘pretty good right now’, adding: ‘My mental health is the best it’s ever been.’

Packer sold Crown to private investment company Blackstone for $8.9billion in a deal that was finalized in June, pocketing $3.3billion in the process.

The sale marked the end of a major chapter in his life which at times was mired by controversy amid inquiries into the company and allegations of money laundering.

Despite the investigations, the father of three credited his casinos in Melbourne, Perth and Sydney with changing the cities ‘for the better’.

Packer is seen here at Sydney's Bondi Beach on December 21, 2003. He recently said he hopes to visit Bondi with his children next year after getting his weight down to 100kg

This comes after she shared a sweet photo with her eldest child Grace — and they look more like sisters than mother and daughter.

In the photo, the teenager can be seen beaming as she stood between her famous parents as her mother sweetly held onto her arm.

‘Our girl,’ the mother-of-two captioned the picture, which showed her in a sleeveless, floor-length dress and light brown hair cascading down her back.

The post comes nearly three months after Grace landed her first magazine cover, in which she sported a $6,400 red lace sheath dress by Prada and a ‘Graceland’ trucker hat.

Turlington celebrated the milestone achievement by posting the issue of POP Magazine, featuring her lookalike, with a heartfelt caption.

‘Can’t take any credit or responsibility for this, other than having birthed this wonder to the world and given her the family name she carries with its full meaning and representation,’ Turlington captioned the image. ‘Once again, welcome to the world @graciebrns I love you, Kiddo.’

Grace was photographed by Clara Balzary for the cover shoot, and with her light brown hair, arched brows, and green eyes, she is the spitting image of her mother.

Turlington, along with Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen, Claudia Schiffer, and Elle Macpherson, was famously a part of the ’90s modeling cohort that the New York Times dubbed the ‘Magnificent Seven.’

The beauty has appeared on the cover of countless magazines over the years, and it looks like her daughter is following in her footsteps.

Grace’s first cover got the stamp of approval from plenty of her mother’s famous friends, including Campbell, who called herself a ‘proud auntie’ in the comments of Turlington’s post.

‘Amazing!’ wrote Crawford, whose 20-year-old daughter, Kaia Gerber, is also a model, while Christensen shared heart eyes emojis in response.

Meanwhile, on Friday Christy proved she is still in top shape.

The Vogue favorite who came to fame 35 years ago as a Calvin Klein model was seen performing a difficult yoga move as she also flashes her toned tummy.

The photos were for a new ad campaign with Athleta as she posed with members of her family including her mother.

Hunted Australia viewers are left furious over a ‘wildly unfair’ twist

Viewers of Hunted Australia have been left furious over an ‘unfair’ twist that saw one half of a team get caught on Sunday’s episode.

Bondi couple Lavinia and Nick spent two weeks completely off the grid by avoiding friends and family, and not using the bank cards given to them at the start of the competition.

But eventually the pair found themselves in need of money because they were getting ‘cold, tired and hungry’.

However, just as they went to withdraw the cash they were entitled to spend, as per the rules of the game, the Hunters decided to throw a spanner in the works.

They froze the pair’s ATM card in a bid to catch them, even though all the other teams had taken advantage of this emergency cash resource.

In CCTV footage, Lavinia made several attempts to withdraw cash without luck.

The Hunters cheered back at HQ as she struggled to work out why one of their few lifelines had been taken away before they could even use it.

Viewers flocked to Twitter to express their anger and frustration, labeling the Hunters’ decision ‘unfair’.

The Hunters managed to capture the pair, as well as Nick, leaving his partner Lavinia on her own with no money.

The Hunted team is still tracking down five contestants – Stathi and Matt, Jake and Rob, and Lavinia – who are on the run with just a few days left.

Kevin Bacon marvels at popularity of Footloose and confesses ‘it was a great gift’ to be in the film

Kevin Bacon is looking back fondly at the time he spent shooting the hit film Footloose, nearly 40 years after slipping into his dancing shoes for the role of Ren McCormack.

In an interview on Todaythe musical drama’s leading man also marveled at its longevity, and how it’s been able to garner new fans over the course of the last four decades.

‘I love it. I think it’s great,’ he told the co-host Willie Geist, adding, ‘It’s like all of those things that you think “Oh, my gosh, is it ever going to go away?” At a certain point, you have to embrace the beast.’

Bacon, 64, went on to add how ‘it was a great gift to be part of that movie. I certainly took it very seriously when I was doing it and I love that people will still come up and say that they just showed it to their kids.’

The Philadelphia native also credited the film’s enduring popularity to the Broadway musical that premiered back in 1998, and has since gone on to have traveling versions of the musical in the US and UK, while also having a couple of runs on London’s West End.

‘After the Broadway show (ended) its run, it then becomes available to be done in every single high school,’ he explained. ‘And there’s not that many plays, certainly musicals, where you can have a musical and a bunch of high school kids in it.’

The film’s popularity can also be attributed to the music, which included the title song, Footloose by Kenny Loggins and Let’s Hear It For The Boy, which was performed by Deniece Williams.

Just a few weeks ago, Bacon convinced his wife, actress Kyra Sedgwick, to take part in the ‘Footloose Drop’ challenge that went viral on TikTok.

The trend, which is set to Loggins’ iconic song, has one partner holding the other horizontally grabbing onto one hand and leg. Then, the partner unrolls the other toward the floor, catching them before they fall.

While confessing he didn’t remember these such moves being part of the original movie, Bacon and Sedgwick went on to pull off the faux drop in their video that was posted on his Instagram page; although she did suffer a wrist injury.

In the film, Bacon played a teenager who moves from the big city of Chicago to a small town in rural Southeast Texas, where he attempts to overturn a ban on dancing instituted by the efforts of a local minister, played by John Lithgow.

Along with Bacon and Lithgow, the cast also included Lori Singer, Dianne Wiest, Sarah Jessica Parker and Chris Penn, among others.

Directed by Herbert Ross from a screenplay by Dean Pitchford, an Academy Award-winning lyricist who co-wrote the title song for the hit film Fame (1980), it went on to gross more than $80 million at the box office in North America on an $8.2 million budget, despite receiving mixed reviews by critics.

That box office receipts in the US and Canada would end up being good enough to be the seventh highest-grossing film of 1984.

Heartwarming moment Bindi Irwin’s daughter Grace Warrior waves at a photo of ‘Grandpa Crocodile’ Steve at Australia Zoo

Bindi Irwin has captured the moment her one-year-old daughter Grace Warrior waved at a photo of her late grandfather Steve.

Posting to Instagram on Monday, Bindi, 24, shared a video of her cherubic toddler searching for posters of Steve outside an animal enclosure at Australia Zoo.

‘Is he over here? Grandpa Crocodile. And he’s in his construction hat!’ Bindi cooed from behind the camera as little Grace pointed at a poster of Steve wearing a hard hat.

‘You love Grandpa Crocodile. Yeah, love, love! Good girl. Love for Grandpa Crocodile,’ she continued, as a wide-eyed Grace beamed and waved at the poster.

Crocodile Hunter Steve tragically died in September 2006 at the age of 44, after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while filming a wildlife documentary in Batt Reef, Queensland.

Bindi was just eight years old at the time.

Speaking to People magazine earlier this year, Bindi and Chandler said the advice they received during their first year as parents taught them so much about raising their child.

‘There’s a lot of information, opinions and advice that you get, and as a new parent you go, ‘I have to follow all this,’ and you feel a pressure to try and be the perfect parent, come up with the perfect routine ,” Chandler told the publication.

‘I think the best advice I got was the fact that you can read every baby book, you can take everybody’s advice on board, but at the end of the day, you know what works for your child,’ Bindi added.

‘And that was so freeing for me.’

Chef Matt Preston will then replace her for the second round, before Colin Fassnidge and Curtis Stone man the show’s finals.

Nigella’s scant appearance comes despite her ‘reputedly huge fee’ the paper reports.

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Channel Seven for comment.

Global home-cooking sensation Nigella is replacing disgraced Pete Evans, who was axed from the Seven network in 2020 amidst the show’s falling ratings in its then eleventh year of production.

Nigella has previously spoken about her excitement about starring on the series.

‘When you think about the food you love, it’s nearly always home cooking,’ she said.

The cooking show was previously hosted by Pete Evans, (left), Feildel (right) and Colin Fassnidge (centre)

‘I’m a home cook and it’s the food that I want to eat. I’ve eaten 17,000 kilometers to find Australia’s best home cooks.’

The best-selling author will travel around the country with Manu as they criticize a new batch of passionate home cooks.

‘As MKR judges we make the perfect team, with our years of experience in professional and home kitchens respectively,’ Manu said.

‘And as lovers of delicious food and a fabulous dinner party, I can promise you we’re also going to have a lot of fun!’
