Hannah Waddingham is a staunch LGBTQ+ ally. The star has garnered a strong queer following, thanks to her performances in West End favourites and on-screen with Willow, as well as her 2022 judging panel appearance on RuPaul's Drag Race UK.
Rebecca Lucy Taylor, known as Self Esteem, channels a lot of personal stuff into the role of Maggie Frisby, a minor rock singer, angry, amused and very drunk as her band disintegrates at a 1969 Oxford student ball.
Is it cold in your house? This was revolutionary. I've been freezing in so many homes, but it had never occurred to me to make temperature inquiries in advance so I could wear a thicker jumper or thermals. Even if I'd had the idea, I probably wouldn't have followed through for fear of appearing rude, preferring instead to slowly lose the feeling in my toes. But here was proof that, for a host, this kind of query is welcome after all, most people want their guests to be comfortable and have a nice time.
Katherine Ryan's podcast is called Telling Everybody Everything, and she does. The comedian is honest to a fault: her comments are regularly reported out of context to create clickbait news stories that give people the wrong idea of what she meant and of her as a human, but she doesn't stop. Her commitment to truth, especially in the celebrity world she inhabits, is as unusual as it is admirable.
The best actress I've ever worked with is Judi Dench, who's such a mischief maker. She's so delightful. She's so, so good. If you ever just want to just hear something short, listen to Judi Dench read a Shakespeare sonnet, just find one on YouTube, and it will move you to tears - you'll just think that is how English should be spoken.
She continued: "I share this with my daughter, who has been with me since she was six weeks old on the road with this. "It's the best role of my life being your mum and I promise to continue to be disobedient so you can belong to a world in all your complete wildness as a young woman. I am very grateful for this."
I was a smiley, happy child. I've had cerebral palsy since birth, so I've never known any other reality. At three years old I went to a disabled nursery connected to a disabled school, and I remember thinking, Why am I here? At the end of the day, the teacher brought my parents in and said, Rosie should be in a mainstream school.
"I've become a mom and I'm in a wow moment of my life that I never expected, and it's such an honour to come home and share this with you," she said. Buckley gave a nod to her co-star Paul Mescal in her speech. "I know everyone is sick of me talking about how much I love him, but I love him, and to Kerry for reminding me of my own wildness," she said.
"Jimpa," a semi-autobiographical drama from director Sophie Hyde ("Good Luck to You, Leo Grande"), stars Academy Award winner Olivia Colman and Emmy winner John Lithgow in a story spanning three generations of the queer community. The film follows filmmaker Hannah (Colman) as she takes her trans non-binary teen, Frances, to Amsterdam to visit her gay father, Jim (Lithgow). When Frances decides to stay there for a year, Hannah is forced to confront her past and her parenting choices. "I think it's a sign of the times," John Lithgow told On The Red Carpet at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. "This is not just a great film; it really is an important film for this moment."
