Ashton recently revealed he nearly died from a rare disorder known as vasculitis, an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation and narrows blood vessels.

The No Strings Attached star said the disease ‘knocked out my vision, it knocked out my hearing, it knocked out like all my equilibrium.’

‘It took me like a year to build it all back up,’ he said in an upcoming episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls: The Challenge.

According to Kutcher, his harrowing experience with vasculitis, though scary, gave him a new-found appreciation for his health and his senses, explaining that he hadn’t ever truly realized how essential they were, until he lost them.

‘You don’t really appreciate it, until it’s gone,’ admitted the human rights activist.

‘Until you go, “I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to see again, I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to hear again, I don’t know if I’ I’m ever going to be able to walk again.”‘

He added that he is ‘lucky to be alive.’

The actor revealed that it took him a year to build up his strength, prompting Grylls to praise his ‘strength through adversity’.

The father of two said he considers challenges an opportunity for growth.

‘The minute you start seeing your obstacles as things that are made for you, to give you what you need, then life starts to get fun, right? You start surfing on top of your problems instead of living underneath them,’ he said.

On Monday night, he took to Twitter to share his current condition, before noting he’ll be running the 2022 New York City Marathon in November.

‘Before there are a bunch of rumours/ chatter/ whatever out there. Yes, I had a rare vasculitis episode 3yrs ago. (Autoimmune flair up) I had some impairments hear, vision, balance issues right after. I fully recovered. All good. Moving on,’ he wrote.

The episode featuring Ashton will be released Monday night on National Geographic.

What is medium vessel vasculitis?

Vasculitis is the name given to a group of conditions in which blood vessels such as arteries and veins become inflamed, or swollen.

Inflammation is the body’s natural immune response and helps the body fight off infection.

However, in patients with vasculitis healthy blood vessels become swollen, which narrows them and can increase blood pressure or reduce the amount of blood which can be pumped through the vessel.

Medium vessel vasculitis is that which specifically affects medium-sized blood vessels such as arteries and veins which supply the muscles with blood.

Vasculitis can range from a minor problem that just affects small blood vessels in the skin, to a more serious illness that causes problems with organs such as the heart or kidneys.

The cause is often unclear, but may be due to infection or medication.

Symptoms can include skin rashes, tiredness, weakness, fever, abdominal pain, and kidney or nerve problems.

Vasculitis is rare: about 14,000 new cases are diagnosed in the UK each year, and it affects around 97,000 Americans.

He recalled: ‘I said, “Look, I’ll do it. But I feel a little stuck with what the character is doing. I feel a little bored.” And Taika said, “I’m bored of you too.”‘

The performer went on to express that he was fine with starring as Thor if new ideas were brought to the franchise.

‘As long as I keep getting to work with directors like this man, and cast that inspire me and bring something different out in myself and the character, then I’m down for whatever,’ he said.

Hemsworth also remarked that he particularly enjoyed working on the newest Thor feature.

‘It was basically dismantling and destroying everything we knew, and starting again. It’s completely refreshing, that experience and this one,’ he said.

It comes after it was reported that Victoria Beckham will finally be reuniting with the rest of the Spice Girls for a new documentary series centering on the band.

According to The Sun, the series will be made by the team behind The Last Dance, the critically acclaimed hit Netflix series about basketball superstar Michael Jordan.

Speaking about The Last Dance, Mel B opened up about the series in an interview in Australia, saying: ‘The director and the whole concept of how that was shot and filmed is really, really, really good. So we’ll be doing our own version with them.’

The series will reportedly feature behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and document the band’s rise to the top.

Giving a taste of what fans can expect, Mel B revealed: ‘The rap in the Wannabe video, I actually wrote on the toilet while the other girls were doing the vocals.’

She continued: ‘My kids go, ‘Mummy, your music has come full circle’, and I’m thinking, ‘Ooh they’re going to compliment me’. Then I get told, ‘It’s come full circle because now you’re just vintage’. Old but good.’

The iconic 90s girl group, comprising Sporty, Scary, Ginger and Baby reunited for a tour in 2019, without Victoria.

A source told The Sun newspaper: ‘It’s going to be an amazing night. It’s a seated, black tie do and the theme is Timeless Elegance.

‘It’s being held in a Grade II listed manor in Oxfordshire which, conveniently, is just a stone’s throw from David and Victoria’s Cotswolds manor.

‘The girls can’t wait to reunite and the plan is for all five of them to sing Happy Birthday and get up on stage to join Geri for a number — possibly Wannabe.

‘One of the girls turning 50 is a massive deal — they all want to mark the occasion in style, and reuniting after a decade seems the perfect time.’

Mel C previously claimed there have been constant discussions about the Spice Girls getting back together again.

Asked about the possibility of another meeting in December 2021, she said: ‘I really hope so. We’re talking about it. We are talking about it constantly. It was always the plan.

‘We did these amazing stadium shows two years ago. It was the best thing we’ve ever done. The creative was so incredible. We had the best time.’

The Say You’ll Be There singers formed in 1994 and went on to become the best-selling girl group of all time, but Geri suddenly left the band in 1998 and the remaining members went their separate ways in 2000.

All five members gathered for a string of arena shows in 2007 and they got back together again to play at 13 stadiums across the UK in 2019, with the exception of Victoria, who declined to take part in a second reunion.

However, it also hosts a horse race which is restricted to two-year-old Thoroughbreds bought at one of their auctions.

Elsa has often been open about her passion for horses and the equestrian sphere.

In August last year, it was revealed that she and her husband of 11 years, Chris Hemsworth, had submitted plans to build a second ‘Westfield-style’ home near their existing Byron Bay mega-mansion.

The A-list couple also came under fire after building a large stable complex on their existing property, knocking the top off a hill to create an enormous horse ring.

‘Apparently his mates call it ‘El Caballo Blanco’ – named after a large equine Andalusian theme park that operated in western Sydney in the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s,’ a source told Daily Mail Australia that month.

Elsa spoke about her love of horse riding in an interview with Australian Women’s Health in March last year, and said she had kept her sane during lockdown.

‘When we were in lockdown, I could still ride, so it was [all about] my family, my husband and my horses,’ she told the publication.

‘It’s such a passion, kind of like meditation for me. I think it’s important for your mind to have something you enjoy – a hobby that’s just for you and your time.’

Emma Thompson reveals she’s been subtly trying to put her daughter Gaia Wise, 22, off acting

Dame Emma Thompson has hilariously revealed she’s been subtly trying to put her daughter Gaia off acting.

The Love Actually star, 63, who shares the drama student, 22, with fellow thespian Greg Wise, 56, joked she’s been dropping hints that her offspring could ‘run a restaurant’ instead.

She told the Daily Mail’s Eden Confidential: ‘I keep saying, “I know you like acting, but, you know, perhaps running a restaurant can be as exciting.”‘

'I keep saying running a restaurant can be as exciting!'  Emma Thompson (pictured in June 2022) has hilariously revealed she's been trying to put her daughter de ella Gaia Wise, 22, off acting

Emma added of the talented cook: ‘There’s something very theatrical about restaurants — when you get it right, you feel so happy and lucky to be in it.’

Despite other ideas from the Oscar winner, Gaia followed in her mother’s footsteps as she made her TV debut in the latest series of BBC drama Silent Witness.

With her sweet smile and cropped dark hair, Dame Emma’s daughter looked every inch the mini-me.

In the series Gaia plays university student Jo Reynolds whose mother, the controversial health secretary, is assassinated – sparking the interest of forensic pathologists.

Earlier this year, Gaia revealed to the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden that she’s prepared to follow her mother’s example and disrobe on screen.

Dame Emma recently bared all in her latest film — Good Luck To You, Leo Grande.

Gaia said: ‘If it’s professionally prepared, and you’ve got the right kind of protection around you, then that’s absolutely fine.’

It comes after Gaia detailed her three-year battle with anorexia – and credited her parents for saving her life by staging an emergency intervention.

The aspiring actress developed anorexia aged 16 which left her so thin she was unable to even sit on a chair without it being painful. She was later admitted to rehab in 2017.

She spoke out about her illness for the first time with The Sun on Sunday, saying ‘Anorexia makes you really good at gaslighting people, making it sound like they’re insane.

‘My parents would say, ‘Gaia, we heard you working out at 3am.’ And I’d say, ‘No you didn’t, it was just the house moving. I was asleep.”

Anorexia is a serious mental illness where a person restricts their food intake, which often causes them to be severely underweight. Many also exercise excessively.

Gaia spoke of how Greg, Emma, ​​and her family, including brother Tindy, 36, and best friend gathered together for an intervention, with Gaia agreeing to a three-month rehab stint after Greg said: ‘I don’t know where my child is any more.’

Adding that it was a ‘kick in the teeth’ she added: ‘I had to listen to the people I loved most in the world who, at the time, I’d really forgotten about, tell me what I was doing.’

She said: ‘That’s when I said I’d go to rehab. I went on December 29, 2017, and stayed for three months. Since then I’ve had a lot of therapy — and I’ll always be grateful for that, because it saved my life.’

Homegrown fave Joel Edgerton opens up on the birth of his twins

Notoriously private star Joel Edgerton opens up on the birth of his twins with partner Christine Centenera and says he wants to bring his kids up ‘Aussie’

Homegrown Hollywood star Joel Edgerton has opened up about the importance of family and the birth of his twins with partner Christine Centenera.

The notoriously private 48-year-old Star Wars fan favorite says he wants to bring his children up in Australia, despite the demands of a jet-set career as a major actor.

In a candid interview in Saturday’s Herald-Sun, the Obi-Wan star revealed that he came close to turning down a part in the new blockbuster Thirteen Lives for the sake of his young family.

Homegrown Hollywood fave Joel Edgerton has opened up on the birth of his twins with partner Christine Centenera and says he wants to bring his kids up ‘Aussie’

Based on the 2018 Thai cave rescue, the Amazon Prime movie was filmed in Queensland last year when Christine was expecting.

Joel told the film’s famed Hollywood director Ron Howard that he would only do the part if he could have time off to be with his partner for the birth.

Complicating the situation were pandemic travel restrictions which he said made things ‘tricky’.

‘It was supposed to be: shoot the movie, month off, welcome babies. And they, as twins do, came incredibly early.’

In a candid interview in Saturday's Herald-Sun, the Obi-Wan star revealed that he came close to turning down a part in the new blockbuster Thirteen Lives for the sake of his young family.  Pictured: Joel Edgerton and Christine Centenera in July 18, 2022 in London, England

Joel was able to have a week off to welcome his children, who were born in May, 2021.

Joel plays rescue diver and anesthetist Dr. Richard Harry’ Harris in Thirteen Lives, the latest in a long line of high-profile roles that have been kept away from his home base in Australia.

He recently completed a role in George Clooney’s The Boys in the Boat, which was filmed in London. He has also appeared in Disney+ series Obi Wan Kenobi.

But now, Joel says he is thinking more about trying to plan projects to made in Australia – where his parents are based.

He said he misses Australia when he’s out of town.

‘I would definitely like to be in Australia more, shooting there more, and I really want my kids to sort of sound a bit like us,’ he explained.

Earlier this month, Will revealed he had ‘no plans’ to reach out to Will Smith after the actor issued a formal apology for slapping him at the Academy Awards.

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air actor, 53, said via Instagram that he had taken the last four months to ‘work’ on himself after hitting Chris at the Oscars in March.

A source has since reported the comedian isn’t currently ready to rekindle a friendship and said that Will’s apology was simply a bid to repair his public image.

An insider told ET Online: ‘Chris has no plans to reach out to Will’, before adding, ‘He [Will] needs the public’s forgiveness, not Chris’.’

Taking to Instagram, the King Richard actor said in his apology: ‘I’ve reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that he’s not ready to talk when he is, he will reach out.

‘So I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk.’ He also apologized to Chris’ mother and his entire family.
