• Matt Damon has revealed why he likes to keep his personal life out of the media wherever possible - because the best actors aren’t followed by the paparazzi. He told GQ magazine recently: “The better the actor, the less you know about his life. I mean, nobody’s better than De Niro, and you don’t know anything about him, right?” Look at Meryl Streep. We don’t know s**t about Meryl. Look at Clint Eastwood. And Brando. Marlon Brando - who f**king knows, right?
  • David Beckham has said he’s going to miss English pubs and the British culinary masterpiece that is pie and mash now that his family has moved to Beverly Hills - but he’ll try to cope.

I’ll go searching for them.”
