24 People Who Are Way More Passive-Aggressive Than You Are

After “Homeland,” Damian Lewis Looked To His Past To Plan His Future

The Homeland alum relied on two decades of invaluable Hollywood lessons to tackle lead roles in a pair of new television projects, BBC Two’s period drama Wolf Hall and Showtime’s high-finance pilot Billions.

When Damian Lewis faced the press on Jan. 19, for the first time since he was killed off Showtime's Homeland in December 2013, the 43-year-old still bore an uncanny resemblance to Sgt. Nicholas Brody, thanks to his close-cropped hair, rigid posture, and clean-shaven face. But it quickly became clear that, on the inside, he couldn't be more different than the man who signed on to the series in 2011.

Thanks to Homeland, Lewis — who calls himself an "autodidact" — was afforded some incredibly unique learning experiences. "I love doing projects where there's something to be learned," Lewis told BuzzFeed News, sitting at the far end of a long, empty dining room table of an ornate hotel conference room in Pasadena, California. To properly bring Brody to life, he studied the Qur'an and learned about the Islamic faith and the experiences of U.S. Marines deployed in Afghanistan. "The wonderful thing about acting is you can be on a 40-year university course."

But Lewis has also grown through the wisdom gleaned from his own professional mistakes — again, most recently through his role on Homeland, for which he won an Emmy Award in 2012.

Lewis' character, Nicholas Brody — an American prisoner of war who was rescued and returned home a changed man (not so spoiler alert: He was a sleeper agent for the enemy) — was not designed to remain on the series indefinitely. But when the show clicked with critics and fans took a shine to Brody's burgeoning relationship with CIA agent Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes), the creators' initial plan was scrapped. But by the third season, many viewers had grown weary of the duo's increasingly operatic romantic entanglements and the character was, as initially planned, killed off in a brutal and shocking death scene.

Alice Mongkongllite for BuzzFeed, Showtime

"He had to go," Lewis said, without hesitation. "When I took the show, I was really of the understanding I would only be there for two years. I stayed for a third season because TV rollover came into play: 'This is our show and we can't get rid of him.' I think the one area of the story the writers weren't clear would work was this relationship. So when it worked, they were ambushed by success of that central storyline and they had a problem because people were now tuning in to see this relationship.

"We set out to make a different drama: a show about the flawed characters at the center of a flawed central intelligence agency that is protecting the interests of a flawed country in the name of a flawed idea — which is called democracy — against a bunch of radical, violent people. This was our big central idea and [then we had] people tuning because they want to see if these people are going to get together or not."

A Brody-less Season 4 of Homeland premiered in October 2014 to promising reviews, as hopeful critics noted the show looked to be returning to its roots. That promise paid off — in spades — as Homeland experienced a complete creative resurrection. "I think they did a brilliant job of just extricating themselves, tiptoeing away from the situation," Lewis said of the fourth season, which went on to earn rave reviews. "What they've been able to do in Season 4 is get back to the nuts and bolts of the CIA and this great, brilliant, flawed character, the manic-depressive at the center of it all."

This is Lisa Palmer. She's the inventor the vagina facial, or "vajacial", which claims to help improve a part of a woman's body that is often neglected.

Palmer, a dating and relationship coach for the over forties, claims that "eighty percent [of her clients] have got dry, sagging vaginas." She says that being in a long term relationship can result in people neglecting their vaginas.

ITV / This Morning

This was Phillip Schofield's reaction to her claims.

This was Phillip Schofield's reaction to her claims.

Schofield questionned Palmer's claim that it is called a "vajacial", because her treatment predominately is for the outside part of the vagina rather than the inside. It has also not been tested by scientists. According to her "they haven't said a word."

ITV / This Morning

She has tested a variety of ingredients. One time she inserted sliced onions into her vagina.

She "put it in there and mixed it round" because she claims that onions are great to prevent ageing.

65 Highly Anticipated Films At The 2015 Sundance Film Festival

0
0

There are all kinds of movies for all kinds of people at this year’s premier Park City-set independent film fest. Here they are, grouped by recurring themes.

It’s Hard Being a Teenager

It’s Hard Being a Teenager

1. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (U.S. Dramatic Competition)
Starring: Thomas Mann, RJ Cyler, Olivia Cooke, Nick Offerman, Connie Britton, and Molly Shannon
Directed by: Alfonso Gomez-Rejon
Thomas Mann plays Greg, an antisocial high-schooler who also makes movies as a hobby. He and his one friend, Earl (RJ Cyler), are forced by Greg's mother to befriend Rachel (Olivia Cooke), who has been diagnosed with leukemia. I have prepared myself to be moved by this film, since I teared up while watching the Sundance video of director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon merely describing it. Jesse Andrews, whose 2013 debut novel of the same name inspired the movie, also wrote the screenplay.

2. The Diary of a Teenage Girl (U.S. Dramatic Competition)
Starring: Bel Powley, Alexander Skarsgård, Christopher Meloni, and Kristen Wiig
Directed by: Marielle Heller
This movie, which has animated elements as well as live action, was adapted from Phoebe Gloeckner's graphic novel from 2002. Written and directed by Marielle Heller, The Diary of a Teenage Girl takes place in '70s San Francisco and centers on teenaged Minnie (Bel Powley), who has sex with her mother's (Kristen Wiig) boyfriend (Alexander Skarsgård).

3. Seoul Searching (Premieres)
Starring: Justin Chon, Jessika Van, In-pyo Cha, Teo Yoo, Esteban Ahn, and Byul Kang
Directed by: Benson Lee
Another period movie, Seoul Searching is set in the John Hughesian era of 1986 and follows a group of Korean teens from all over the world who have come to Seoul for a summer program. According to the Sundance program, Benson Lee, who also wrote the screenplay, based the movie on his own experiences.

4. Slow West (World Cinema Dramatic Competition)
Starring: Kodi Smit-McPhee, Michael Fassbender, Ben Mendelsohn, Caren Pistorius, and Rory McCann
Directed by: John Maclean
Set even further back in time than either of the previous two movies, Slow West sends the audience to the late 19th century where Kodi Smit-McPhee (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) plays Jay, a Scottish 17-year-old who heads to the American West and starts traveling with Silas (Michael Fassbender, an executive producer here). This is John Maclean's first feature (and he wrote it as well), but he and Fassbender have previously collaborated on two shorts.

5. Dope (U.S. Dramatic Competition)
Starring: Shameik Moore, Tony Revolori, Kiersey Clemons, Blake Anderson, Zoë Kravitz, and A$AP Rocky
Directed by: Rick Famuyiwa
Dope centers on three nerdy friends who live in a rough neighborhood in Inglewood, California, and are trying to avoid its pitfalls. Writer/director Rick Famuyiwa is an alumnus of Sundance's Director's Lab, where he finished 1999's The Wood, which was also set in Inglewood and is also about a group of friends (played by Omar Epps and Taye Diggs, among others). The festival write-up of Dope describes it, in part, as being "a delightful mash-up of DIY punk, Yo! MTV Raps, YouTube, and Neil deGrasse Tyson."

6. Grandma (Premieres)
Starring: Lily Tomlin, Julia Garner, Marcia Gay Harden, Judy Greer, Laverne Cox, Sam Elliott
Directed by: Paul Weitz
As a director, Paul Weitz has gone from the broadest comedies there are (American Pie, Little Fockers) to more nuanced movies like About a Boy. In Grandma, which Weitz also wrote, Lily Tomlin plays Elle, a lesbian poet whose granddaughter (Julia Garner) needs her help, causing Elle to revisit her past. Marcia Gay Harden plays Elle's daughter.

7. Songs My Brothers Taught Me (U.S. Dramatic Competition)
Starring: John Reddy, Jashaun St. John, Irene Bedard, Taysha Fuller, Travis Lone Hill, and Eléonore Hendricks
Directed by: Chloé Zhao
In writer/director Chloé Zhao's feature film debut, Johnny, a high school senior, wants to leave the reservation where he grew up, but after his father dies, he finds he can't leave his younger sister. —Kate Aurthur
