Happy reading! 🐝
I didn't always understand why people are so drawn to Harry Styles. But after seeing him in person & the disarming aura that he has around him, as well as how eloquent he is about his work, I think I'm starting to understand the fascination now. He's very charming & charismatic.
It hasn’t hit me that Edvin Ryding and Omar Rudberg are making their American talk show debut tonight on Fallon. I haven’t met many people my age in this business, but they’re easily two of my favourites. Couldn’t be more thrilled for them and can’t wait to watch! 👑
#YoungRoyals
Omar Rudberg’s voice is as smooth as silk. I haven’t been able to get “Simon’s Song” out of my head since last week’s premiere, and I don’t even speak Swedish.
#YoungRoyals

@Harry_Styles
: "The whole story is about wasted time, and wasted time is the most devastating thing, because it's the one thing we can't control and we can't have back."
This guy sounds like such an old soul.

#TIFF22
Netflix reports that the first five episodes of
#YoungRoyals
Season 3 reached the top-10 list in 47 countries last week. The final season had 2.9 million views and was the fifth most-watched non-English TV show on the streaming service. 🫅
#Heartstopper
director Euros Lyn told me today that Joe Locke and Kit Connor are so comfortable with each other that “there’s a real sense of mischief” in this opening montage of the new season. Joe and Kit, as far as I’m aware, improvised many of these moments.
It’s only hitting me now that Roger Federer didn’t want to retire at an individual event because he didn’t want to do it alone. This way, he gets to end his career alongside three of his greatest rivals & in a city that means so much to him. I’ll never forget this day.
#LaverCup
❌ Serena Williams
❌ Roger Federer
❌ Maria Sharapova
✅ Rafael Nadal
✅ Novak Djokovic
✅ Andy Murray
✅ Venus Williams
This era is slowly coming to an end…
Edvin Ryding and Omar Rudberg both said they were given the freedom to improvise quite a few scenes this season, and one of them came in the premiere.
Enjoy this short outtake from our
#YoungRoyals
interview:
Netflix is reporting that the second season of
#YoungRoyals
was watched for 6,290,000 hours last week—that’s a total of 25,150,000 hours within the first two weeks of release. The show remained in the top 10 in Sweden, Finland and Norway for the second week in a row. 👑
Jonathan Bailey on preparing for this lake scene: “There were a couple of shirts that I tried on, and they had one of those house plant spritzers to spritz me down to see how much chest hair you can see through it.” 😂💦
#Bridgerton
Coco Gauff said she had two off-court goals at the Olympics: get photos with Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray. She got photos with both and even traded pins with Rafa! (Carlos Alcaraz didn’t have any pins, so Coco said she didn’t let him into the photo with her and Rafa. 😂)
#NBO24
Dearest reader, the wait is finally over.
For
@HarpersBazaarUS
, I spoke with the incredibly charming Jonathan Bailey—Lord Anthony
#Bridgerton
himself—about his chemistry read with Simone Ashley & the defining moments of
#Kanthony
’s love story this season:
What piece of furniture did Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton break on the set of
#Bridgerton
?
Nicola Coughlan: “You are the first journalist who will get the answer out of me because I can do all spoilers.” 🤭
#YoungRoyals
fans, do you want some pictures that just dropped on the Netflix press site? (There's one that we are saving for my article today, but the rest just went up!)
For
@TeenVogue
, I profiled Gavin McHugh, who plays Christopher, the beloved son of Army-medic-turned-firefighter Eddie Diaz, on
#911onFOX
.
The 11-year-old actor is part of a new wave of talent looking to advance disability representation in Hollywood.
Jonathan Bailey on Anthony: “I think the hunger and the need to know that [Kate] is gonna be there for him is in that final dance as well. There’s nothing more romantic and, really, sort of upsetting than a last dance.”
#Bridgerton
Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are both breaking down in quiet sobs on the players’ bench and can’t even look at each other. THIS IS TOO MUCH.
#LaverCup
Hello,
#InterviewWithTheVampire
fans!
I’m talking to Jacob Anderson, Sam Reid, Assad Zaman, and executive producer Rolin Jones about next week’s epic season finale.
We’ll be digging into *all* the spoilers, so let me know if you have any show-related questions for them! 🧛
Scott Moir: “This is the moment the skating world has been waiting for. [Papadakis and Cizeron] thought they should have won the gold medal in 2018—or they thought they had opportunity to, anyways—and they’ve been waiting for four years, building to this moment.” 💀
#Beijing2022
Marisol’s storyline in this episode made me laugh because it felt like it came out of left field. The rest of the episode feels pretty serious, but her storyline feels very… unserious.
You heard it here first:
@RonenRubinstein
and
@ActuallyRafa
have made a case for T.K. and Carlos to go to Hawaii for their honeymoon. Your move,
#911LoneStar
. 😂
ICYMI, you can read our full interview here:
I asked
#YoungRoyals
’ Edvin Ryding & Omar Rudberg about what Wilhelm & Simon saw in each other in the first season that made them feel comfortable enough to explore their attraction, but I only had space to include what Edvin said:
Here’s what Omar said:
This relationship has become the unexpected heart of the show—just look at the numbers every time these two are together on social media—and it’s a shame that the showrunners don’t seem to recognize the potential that’s staring them in the face.
#911onFOX
I'll wait until another outlet posts more stills, but for now, please accept this new BTS photo of a first-look still as a peace offering... I'll share more if/when I'm allowed!
#YoungRoyals
Avoiding the sophomore slump with another delectable dose of love & betrayal,
#YoungRoyals
—the hit Netflix teen drama that premieres on Tuesday—delivers an angsty & addictive second season that leans into its core relationships & raises the stakes even further for Prince Wilhelm.
@kit_connor
Kit, I’m so sorry that it had to come down to this, because you deserved so much better. You don’t owe anyone anything, but I hope you’re doing okay. Please take care of yourself and know that you are loved. ❤️
Edvin Ryding: “We’ve always talked about [Wilhelm and Simon] being pretty awkward when they’re intimate with each other. You see that they belong together. You see that they feel comfortable with each other.”
An outtake from our
#YoungRoyals
interview:
For
@LATimes
, I spoke with
#YoungRoyals
actors
@RydingEdvin
+
@OmarRudberg
& head writer Lisa Ambjörn about why Wilhelm & Simon were endgame, why the actors hated “Wille’s Song” at first, and the surreal experience of shooting those beautiful final scenes:
It’s one thing to not ship two popular characters on a major show, but it’s another thing to belittle and dismiss an entire community by calling them the “alphabet people” and suggesting a bunch of other nonsense.
The lack of accountability is striking and beyond disappointing.
So... I may or may not have been the first journalist to get the scoop from Nicola Coughlan about the specific piece of furniture that she and Luke Newton broke on the set of
#Bridgerton
.
The rumours are true:
@OmarRudberg
is a ray of sunshine. He’s charming, articulate and well-spoken, and a wonderful interviewee. So glad we were able to find time to chat about the second season of
#YoungRoyals
. 👑
I just completed back-to-back-to-back interviews with Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri—the leads of the new
#PercyJackson
series—and can’t remember the last time I laughed so much in an interview. They’re great kids and perfectly suited to their roles. ⚡️🔱
Just finished back-to-back interviews with some actors whose characters are going to be the subject of a lot of discussion this week (and well into the midseason break)!
One more outtake…
Jonathan Bailey on the
#Kanthony
dance scenes: “There’s a synchronicity & a magnetism. There’s a lot of coming towards each other, then stepping away again & then there’s a lot of mirroring of hands.”
#Bridgerton
It's really sweet how Walker and Aryan defer to Leah for a lot of these questions that are directed to the actors. She has gone through so much already while playing this role.
#PercyJackson
#TCA24
In our interview,
@RydingEdvin
likened Prince Wilhelm’s struggles in
#YoungRoyals
to those of Kendall Roy in
#Succession
.
Fun fact: While preparing to film the scene at the shooting range in episode 6, Ryding said he listened to the Succession theme song.
If you want to support more kick-ass, Asian-led projects after watching
#ShangChi
, you should consider watching:

#CWKungFu
(The CW/HBO Max)
→
#Warrior
(HBO Max)
→
#ThePaperTigers
(Netflix)
It’s been an amazing year for Asian representation and we’re only getting started. 🙌
So what exactly is the game plan here? If Eddie breaks up with Ana, it would be incredibly unrealistic for him to jump straight into a new relationship with another woman, because he will have the same anxiety about being “a ready-made family” with Chris. Unless… 👀

fans! I really didn’t think it would happen, but Nicola Coughlan and I are officially doing a sit-down interview next week.
We’ll be discussing *all* of the spoilers from part 2, but please let me know if you have any burning

I don’t want to get too sentimental, but the main reason I’m able to do more
#Bridgerton
interviews as a freelancer is because so many of you around the world have been kind enough to read & share my past work. I deeply appreciate your support & promise to do my absolute best. ❤️

Together, Buck and Eddie have:
- Gone through multiple natural disasters
- Survived a shooting
- Been held at gunpoint by fugitives
And yet… they’re never going to have an onscreen conversation about their shared trauma?
#911onFOX
There are very few people in this business that are as genuine, as thoughtful and as articulate as
@ActuallyRafa
. This was our third interview, and we actually went about 10 minutes longer than planned because we had so much to catch up on. It’s always a pleasure. 🙏
#911LoneStar
To put things into perspective, the first season of
#YoungRoyals
was watched for at least 9,820,000 hours within the first 10 days of release and reached the top 10 in 12 countries.
The show is only getting bigger! Congratulations to the entire team. 🇸🇪👑
Tim Minear gave me my new favourite expression: He’s basically laying down the train tracks on “9-1-1” while the train is still moving.
They’re almost done filming episode 7, currently working on post-production for episode 6 & still in the middle of writing episodes 8-10 (!).

SURPRISE! 🚨
Athena (

#911LoneStar
, which will air at 9/8c after the spring premiere of

.
Hi, friends! I will be speaking with
@RydingEdvin
,
@OmarRudberg
and
@LisaAmbjorn
about the new season of
#YoungRoyals
.
Since we’ll be discussing spoilers, this interview will be published *after* the entire season is released, but let me know if you have any questions. 🫅
Buck lunged for one of the guys the second that they threatened to hurt Christopher… and you’re trying to tell me that he isn’t like a (de facto) second father to Chris. 🤷♂️
