Denzel Washington's awkward encounter with King Charles

<p>Denzel Washington and King Charles have had an awkward encounter at the <em>Gladiator II</em> premiere in London. </p> <p>The cast of the highly-anticipated film lined up to meet His Majesty, and as the King approached the legendary actor, Washington held out his arm to shake Charles' hand. </p> <p>As the moment took place, the actor told the King with a nervous grin, “I didn’t know if I was supposed to grab your hand or not”.</p> <p>Afterwards, the King asked him about his role in Gladiator II, where he plays the villainous Macrinus, to which Washington joked, “I’m, just an awful … I’m a lovely man you’ll see. I’m a lovely chap”.</p> <p>The King then told Washington, “You’ve been in so many films, it’s fantastic.”</p> <blockquote class="instagram-media" style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCVGH0lowSg/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"> </div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"> </div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"> </div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <div style="padding: 12.5% 0;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;"> <div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);"> </div> </div> <div style="margin-left: 8px;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;"> </div> <div style="width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);"> </div> </div> <div style="margin-left: auto;"> <div style="width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);"> </div> <div style="width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);"> </div> </div> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;"> </div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCVGH0lowSg/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A post shared by ITV News Royals (@itvnewsroyals)</a></p> </div> </blockquote> <p>Denzel was joined at the premiere by his fellow co-stars Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, and the film's director Ridley Scott. </p> <p>Gladiator II returns fans to Ancient Rome, but is set 20 years after the original <em>Gladiator</em> - released in 2000 and starring Russell Crowe - focusing on a now grown-up Lucius who is forced into slavery after a Roman invasion sees his home destroyed and his wife killed.</p> <p><em>Image credits: Eddie Mulholland/WPA Pool/Shutterstock Editorial </em></p>

Glaring errors in fan favourite movies

<p dir="ltr">You have to be a real cinema buff or at least excelled in high school English class to notice some glaring errors in popular movies.  </p> <p dir="ltr">TikTok user <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@donfarellii/video/7065051870250732806?referer_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsweek.com%2F&amp;referer_video_id=7065051870250732806&amp;refer=embed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Don Farelli</a> has done all the work and pointed out the mistakes left in fan favourites such as <em>Pretty Woman, Gladiator</em>, the 1985 flick <em>Teen Wolf</em>, and the 1995 movie <em>Braveheart</em>.</p> <p dir="ltr">Up first is the 1990s blockbuster <em>Pretty Woman</em> starring Julia Roberts and Richard Geere. </p> <p dir="ltr">In the scene, Julia’s character Vivian Ward is seen nibbling on a croissant as she tells Richard’s Edward Lewis that she didn’t go past 11th grade. </p> <p dir="ltr">Suddenly, the croissant disappears and in its place is a pancake. </p> <p dir="ltr">The swap in foods has been spotted a few times before and there are even unconfirmed reports from the director for the change. </p> <p dir="ltr">"Director Garry Marshall said he liked the performance she gave in the latter part of the scene better, so the croissant magically becomes a pancake, which she began to eat as they did more takes,’ it reads on <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100405/goofs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IMDB</a>.</p> <p dir="ltr">"While this may be the case, there is still a continuity issue. In the first scene with the pancake, she takes a second bite. In the next scene with the pancake in her hand, there is only one bite missing.</p> <p dir="ltr">"Not only that, but the pancake with one bite missing has a different bite pattern and is clearly a different pancake."</p> <p dir="ltr">Next up is Mel Gibson’s <em>Braveheart</em>, who is seen speaking to a fellow actor in a scene. </p> <p dir="ltr">Upon closer inspection, a man in the background is seen wearing a baseball cap - which very obviously has no place in the film. </p> <p dir="ltr">Similar to <em>Gladiator</em> starring Russel Crowe, which features two modern items which are very clearly not meant to be there.</p> <p dir="ltr">In one scene, a man is seen wearing jeans which is not the wardrobe for the movie and another scene shows another extra moving a water bottle out of the way.</p> <p dir="ltr">The final movie is <em>Teen Wolf</em> starring Michael J. Fox, which hilariously shows a man realising his zipper is undone and tries to cover it during a basketball game. </p> <p dir="ltr">Don’s TikTok video received a whopping 1.7million likes and has been viewed more than 15million times. </p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image: TikTok</em></p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr"> </p>
