Renee Zellweger’s Boyfriend Faces Business Meltdown Amidst Her Hollywood Success
As a die-hard fan, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming release of Renee Zellweger’s fourth Bridget Jones movie, titled “Mad About The Boy.” It’s like Christmas came early!
Despite his girlfriend’s ongoing success in Hollywood, Ant Anstead has had a rocky history with money matters back in Britain.
At the age of 45, Anstead finds himself in a situation where his UK television production company has been dissolved, leaving its assets under the control of ‘the Crown’. Additionally, he made the decision to shut down his automotive bodywork business on his own accord.
Last year, on December 3, the TV production company owned by Ant Anstead, Ant Anstead Limited, was involuntarily closed down through a process called “strike-off action.
This occurs when a business does not fulfill its legal requirements, such as failing to submit annual reports or verification statements on time.
A representative from Anstead stated that the firm stopped trading back in 2021, and it was subsequently disbanded after its head relocated to the United States for employment purposes.
According to the most recent financial reports submitted, as of June 2023, the total value of Ant Anstead Limited’s assets was £7,863.
During the period, Reflect Bodyworks Limited was deactivated due to a voluntary strike-off on January 7th. At that moment, the company’s assets totaled merely £200. A representative from Anstead clarified that since the company had never conducted business, he decided to shut it down.
A different business that he oversees as a director, Dowsetts Classic Cars, has shown a total debt of £287,000.
A representative for Anstead announced that the company faced financial struggles due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but with financial aid provided by Anstead and the board of directors, they managed to bounce back and even reported a profit in 2023. This positive outcome will be evident when the 2024 financial statements are submitted.
Across the Atlantic Ocean, situations are similarly intricate. On October 22, the automobile business co-founded by him and Formula One racer Jenson Button, named Radford Motors, submitted a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.
The action was taken following allegations of fraud and false representation against him and his fellow founder, Daniel Bednarski.
Multiple customers have filed lawsuits claiming that the company took car deposits worth between $100,000 and $750,000 but failed to deliver the vehicles as promised or return their money.
Pat Velasco, one of his business partners, is also suing and says he is owed $2 million.
Roger N. Behle Jr, one of the co-owners, has filed a lawsuit alleging that Antstead and the CFO, Bednarski, mishandled the company’s finances. In response, Antstead and Bednarski have counter-sued both Velasco and Behle in a separate action. However, it’s important to note that Button is not party to these lawsuits.
Anstead said the company would continue to trade.
He stated that Radford is making organizational improvements strategically, ensuring smooth operation throughout. I stand firm in my dedication to furthering Radford’s mission and development.
Back in 2017, the automotive company based in Britain, Evanta, which used to be under Anstead’s management, faced liquidation. The creditors were initially owed an impressive sum of £338,991. However, due to the unfortunate circumstances, they only received a paltry 4 pence for every pound owed, amounting to just £13,761 in total.
A representative for Anstead stated: ‘Evanta, having been active in trading for over a decade, experienced losses after a contract was terminated, leading to its closure.’
The representative stated, “Although Anstead might show up on TV, it doesn’t mean he’s shielded from the raw aspects of business.
Last week, Anstead and his older children Archie (age 18) and Amelie (age 21), from his first marriage with Brit Louise Storey, walked the red carpet alongside Texan Zellweger. It is believed that they spent time at Claridge’s hotel with the famous star.
A man of many layers
Chris Packham, a presenter on Winterwatch, receives messages from viewers who feel he’s dressing excessively while on-screen.
Some spectators are puzzled about our abundance of winter clothing. It appears they believe that such attire isn’t necessary for us.
‘While it’s true that we often need to put on multiple layers, up to five or six, it’s crucial! Since we spend most of our time standing still and not producing much body heat, Michaela, Iolo, and I require extra insulation to keep warm. So, we might resemble oversized Michelin Men or perhaps even Michelin-style people.’
Actress Naomi Ackie, renowned for her roles in “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” (the Whitney Houston biopic) and “Blink Twice,” portrays Police Constable Donna de Freitas in the Netflix adaptation of Richard Osman’s top-selling book “The Thursday Murder Club,” produced by Steven Spielberg.
Early footage suggests the film could be a real treat.
Beleaguered star goes to ground all Emilia Perez’s continue…
The leading actor or actress of the record-breaking foreign language film, Emilia Perez, is having their name withdrawn from the awards campaign.
Tonight, Karla Sofia Gascon, who is a transgender actress, won’t attend the Critics Choice Awards in Los Angeles, despite her nomination for Best Actress. Similarly, she will not be present at the Producers Guild of America (PGA) Awards in LA tomorrow.
It’s speculated that she won’t attend the Baftas towards the end of this month or the Oscars on March 2nd. This move seems to be Netflix’s strategy to bolster the Oscar prospects of supporting actress Zoe Saldana (for Emelia Perez) and the film itself, which is nominated for Best Picture and Best International Feature Film.
It appears that Gascon has been absent from several ‘For Your Consideration’ events and screenings without explanation. There’s a noticeable silence surrounding the situation, but it seems that Gascon is now only communicating with Netflix through her representative. There are rumors of potential legal action brewing on both sides.
The situation didn’t get better when the movie’s lead actor recently gave an interview on CNN en Espana that wasn’t exactly apologetic, without prior notice. In this interview, Gascon stated: ‘I have been convicted, sacrificed, crucified, and stoned, all without a trial and without the chance to present my defense.’
After some past comments made by Gascon on social media were brought back to light, things began to take a turn for the worse for Emilia Perez. Many of these comments, such as the one concerning Hitler, have deeply upset many people.
‘Gascon stated: “I find it hard to comprehend the global conflict over World War II; after all, Hitler just held strong opinions about the Jewish people. That’s just how things often unfold in history.”‘
In this version, I tried to rephrase the original statement while maintaining its essence, but also making it more respectful and less dismissive of the gravity of the events being discussed.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to clarify a misconception that has persisted for far too long. Five years ago, George Floyd, an African American man, lost his life at the hands of a white police officer in Minneapolis. It’s important to remember him not as a ‘drug addict’ or a ‘hustler’, but as a fellow human being whose life mattered immensely. These labels do not define George Floyd; he was more than that, and his memory deserves respect and understanding.
In a tweet regarding the 93rd Oscars, she compared the victories of Daniel Kaluuya and Yuh-Jung Youn to a “Celebration of African and Korean Culture.
In simpler terms, Gascon clarifies that certain comments of hers might have been misunderstood as they were intended to be sarcastic or written about herself using the third-person perspective.
Actress Zoe Saldana expressed her dismay openly last week, saying: “It truly saddens me because I do not endorse it, and I have zero patience for any derogatory language targeted at individuals from any community.
This week, during an interview with Deadline Hollywood, the movie’s French director, Jacques Audiard, labeled Gascon’s statements as “unforgivable.
He expressed: ‘I’ve had no contact with her, and I choose not to engage. It seems she’s on a destructive path… and honestly, I can’t fathom why she persists in this manner.’
During the filming, it’s worth noting that Gascon seemed to keep his distance from the rest of the cast.
Regardless of the cause, Gascon avoided interacting with them, as she doesn’t speak either English or French, which made it challenging for them to connect deeply.
During the promotional tour, it was reported that Gascon was more of a spectator rather than an active participant, as he didn’t join in with his colleagues who were trying to market the film.
About a month ago during an interview, Gascon expressed that the Paris shoot felt ‘solitary’. Following the completion of production, she posted a photo with her co-stars on social media and captioned it: “I apologize for my distress. For the ferocity I can exhibit in life.
The star’s representatives were asked for a comment, but did not respond.
Preparations are underway in Sicily for the upcoming arrival of acclaimed British filmmaker Christopher Nolan, who is set to visit the island in April. He will be accompanied by a star-studded cast as they embark on making the movie adaptation of Homer’s epic tale, The Odyssey.
According to locals, approximately 400 hotel rooms are being utilized for production purposes in Favignana, Lipari, and Vulcano. This has resulted in a significant ¤10 million economic uplift for these local communities.
In this production, Matt Damon takes on the role of the renowned Greek hero, Odysseus. The talented ensemble also features Charlize Theron, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, and Tom Holland.
The picture will also be shot in studios near London.
Nolan’s previous film, Oppenheimer, won a Best Picture Oscar and grossed nearly $1 billion.
To his admirers, he’ll forever be Jack Sparrow, but according to Zak Starkey (Ringo Starr’s son), Johnny Depp has consistently viewed himself more as a musician rather than an actor.
Drummer Zak participated in recording a charitable song, coordinated by athlete Fatima Whitbread for her Kids In Care organization.
Johnny played a fantastic tune on an instrument he guided, but I’m unable to share its name because it hasn’t been released just yet. I was responsible for creating it and provided drumbeats. Samantha Morton and Fatima lent their voices through voiceovers.
‘Johnny played all the guitars on it so beautifully. His guitar solo can’t be played loud enough.
‘Johnny and I attended the Rock in Rio festival together. Truth be told, he’s more of a guitarist than an actor. He initially began his career as a musician, rather than an actor. He was discovered while performing, which provided him with lucrative opportunities that funded his musical journey.’
‘He may have bought some of Jeff Beck’s guitars that recently went up for auction.’
Kieran’s a pain, but he knows his lines
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must say that Kieran Culkin’s captivating performance in “A Real Pain” has earned him an Oscar nomination – and from what I gather, his colleagues might find him just as challenging on set!
In his upcoming Broadway stint for “Glengarry Glen Ross,” Culkin will enjoy Sundays off to spend quality time with his kids, an unusual arrangement. Instead, extra shows are scheduled for Mondays.
Simultaneously, the actor and director alongside him in A Real Pain, Jesse Eisenberg, characterized Culkin as an ‘unpredictable’ performer.
He pointed out: “Kieran casually asks, ‘What scenes are we filming today?’ I penned down the dialogues, yet it took me several weeks to commit them to memory, while he has ten times more lines to remember compared to me.
In other words, I might say, “Alright, let’s discuss this next scene. Shall we prepare some prompt cards or similar?” He would then glance over the script for about a minute before replying, “I don’t need them.
He’d have the opportunity to sit and deliver his lines flawlessly, not just perfectly memorized but incredibly swift as well. It seems he has a peculiar way of absorbing dialogues at an accelerated rate.
‘The weird thing is he won’t know them the next day. So it’s some temporary thing.’
Did it make Eisenberg nervous? ‘Oh my God!’ he replied. Which sounds like a Yes.
