It's always fun to hear behind-the-scenes stories from our favorite films, but it's especially fun to hear early-career stories from actors before they found fame.
The Amazing Spider-Man's Andrew Garfield recently reflected on the Dish Podcast and later the Capital Breakfast podcast about befriending a group of fellow young actors who were all living together, including Jamie Dornan, Eddie Redmayne, Charlie Cox, and Robert Pattinson.
Though Garfield didn't live with them, he frequented their home and was quite comfortable moving through their space. On Capital Breakfast, he shared how he'd once ended up in Pattinson's bedroom, only to discover a half-eaten cheeseburger that had to be at least a few days old and had cigarette butts pressed into the top of it, clearly too old to eat but just right for putting out smokes.
While recalling the memory, Garfield was a mixture of amused and grossed out.
"I remember going up into his room at one point, and I think there was like a half-eaten cheeseburger from four days previous with cigarette butts put out on the thing."
"It was like that vibe. It was students. We were students, ostensibly. We were just like actor students, and we were just absolute messes."

Though Garfield seemed perplexed by the memory, fans sort of shrugged it off as typical Pattinson behavior.









Since his Twilight days, rumors have swirled about Pattinson's personal hygiene and cleanliness, or lack thereof. Though he might want to distance himself from it, it's hard to forget he was Edward Cullen when fans keep getting reminded of that era.
While there are plenty of examples of creative people who keep messy homes and appearances, it's also an interesting element that Pattinson brings to his characters.

*Trigger Warning: this article contains mentions of child sexual abuse
Democratic Ohio gubernatorial candidate Dr. Amy Acton and her brother criticized billionaire entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, her GOP opponent, after he used their estranged mother in a political attack ad.
Acton has long said that she became estranged from her mother when she was a child, after her stepfather was charged with raping her at age 12. He pleaded not guilty, according to decades-old court records published by the Acton campaign, and reportedly later fled the state.
Although Acton has not discussed the childhood abuse during her campaign, she recounted the painful final encounter with her mother in a 2019 interview with The Youngstown Vindicator, recalling that "in the courthouse after they were charged, I went to give her a kiss, and she just turned her cheek away. That was the last time I ever saw her."
But now Ramaswamy's campaign has dropped an ad featuring Acton's mother, Donna Arthur, urging Ohio voters not to vote for her daughter on November 3, at one point saying:
"I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent — and it's not easy for a mother to say this — that Amy has a serious problem. Amy is a liar. She lies about her past. ... She's lied her entire life. My daughter needs help." ...
“Don’t let her become your governor. If you think she’ll make your life better, you’re fooling yourself. It will only get worse.”
You can see the ad below.
Facing criticism for the ad, Ramaswamy's campaign spokesperson Connie Luck said the following in a statement to Politico:
“We don't know what happened between Amy and her mother, who first spoke out about Amy in 2020, but we know that Amy Acton is a serial fabulist who has some serious problems with the truth that the public needs to be aware of before deciding who to entrust as governor." ...
"Everyone who knows her best — her former boss, her former state colleagues, her fellow physicians, and now her own mother — are clearly warning Ohioans not to vote for her."
Shortly afterward, Acton responded to the ad and criticized Ramaswamy in an appearance on Spectrum News, saying:
“I won’t normalize somebody who has said that my childhood is just something I’m complaining about, who today just released an ad using my birth mother, who I was removed from at the age of 12 for severe abuse and neglect and sexual abuse. My brother and I were removed."
"I just can't normalize somebody who calls me things like a socialist, which I'm not, and then follows that statement by saying the Second Amendment was made for times like these to eradicate socialism, to get rid of socialists, that's what I am made for."
"The words our leaders use matter, and I think it's going to take courage right now from all of us to stop normalizing this sort of rhetoric. People need to see that this is a pattern. It was a pattern in the presidential debates."
"You know, I remember Chris Christie going at it with him. I remember Nikki Haley, because he was such a liar and he was attacking Nikki Haley's 14-year-old daughter on air during a presidential debates. You know, this is a lifelong pattern with my opponent."
You can hear what she said in t.he video below.
Acton's brother, Philip Stearns, also issued an official statement that was disseminated by Acton's campaign:
"It's not surprising that Vivek Ramaswamy has stooped to such a despicable low as to attempt to turn the sexual abuse Amy endured at twelve years old from our birth mother's husband into a political talking point."
"After he was arrested and Amy and I were removed from their custody, our birth mother stayed married to Amy's rapist until he died. This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core — a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."
You can see the post and the statement below.

Critics have condemned Ramaswamy in response.
Ramaswamy remains unrepentant. People of Ohio, you can stop him in his tracks on November 3.
Eight hundred episodes. More than three decades of television. Countless couch gags, celebrity cameos, and questionable decisions by Homer Simpson.
And somehow, The Simpsons managed to go nearly nine years without giving Apu a single line.
Well, somebody finally remembered the Kwik-E-Mart was still open for business. Apu is back, but the voice coming from behind the counter might sound a little different.
And Springfield's long-lost resident made quite the entrance:
Apu is officially back!!!! https://t.co/25FBva9J9i
— Out of Context Simpsons Treehouse of Horror 🎃 (@OOCCouchGags) October 19, 2026
The surprise came during this year's Simpsons Halloween special, Treehouse of Horror Presents: The Revengening. In a parody of I Know What You Did Last Summer, a masked figure called the Daft Monk turns out to be Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, apparently ready to settle a few scores after years of being forgotten.
And The Simpsons knew exactly who was responsible for that awkward absence.
After comedian Hari Kondabolu's 2017 documentary, The Problem With Apu, challenged the South Asian stereotypes surrounding the character, the show attempted to address the criticism in its 2018 episode No Good Read Goes Unpunished..
But Lisa Simpson's response didn't exactly help matters:
“It’s hard to say. Something that started decades ago and was applauded and inoffensive is now politically incorrect. What can you do?”
Viewers criticized the scene for appearing to dismiss concerns about Apu's exaggerated accent and the South Asian Americans who had endured racist impressions of the character. Hank Azaria, who had voiced Apu for decades, eventually stepped away from the role in 2020.
Azaria revisited his involvement during a 2021 appearance on Dax Shepard's podcast Armchair Expert:
“I apologize for my part in creating that and participating in that. Part of me feels like I need to go to every single Indian person in this country and personally apologize. And sometimes I do.”
That left the show's producers with a familiar face but no speaking voice.
Enter Sunil Malhotra, an Indian American actor born in New Delhi and raised in Chicago. An Indiana University Bloomington graduate, Malhotra has appeared in Grey's Anatomy, House, and The West Wing, with voice credits including The Legend of Vox Machina and Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi.
Joining The Simpsons might sound like a dream opportunity. But Malhotra knew this wasn't just another voice-acting gig.
And his first reaction to the audition wasn't exactly what you'd expect:
“When my agent called me about a ‘Simpsons’ audition, I knew exactly what role it was for, and the idea actually made my stomach sink. But admittedly, part of me was also curious.”
Malhotra met with the producers to discuss Apu's portrayal before accepting the role. Meanwhile, The Simpsons kept the comeback under wraps with nondisclosure agreements and no advance screeners for the Halloween episode.
With the secret finally out, Malhotra had something to share with fans on Instagram:
Malhotra described the opportunity as a reclamation, and he wasn't the only new voice joining the family. Janina Gavankar also took over as Apu's wife, Manjula.
But the comeback didn't win everyone over. Some fans welcomed the casting of South Asian American performers, while others questioned whether Apu's new accent had moved beyond the stereotypes that sparked the controversy in the first place.
Apu finally has a voice again, and the internet isn't holding back:
For anyone wondering whether this was simply a Halloween cameo, the show's producers have confirmed that Apu, Manjula, and their family will continue appearing.
And while fans debate the comeback, executive producer Matt Selman is already looking toward Apu's future:
“We love this character, and wanted to bring him back in a smart, ‘Simpsons’-y way that allowed him to evolve. We’re excited by what Sunil has already brought to the role, and look forward to seeing more of Apu in the future.”
Kondabolu also welcomed the casting of two South Asian American actors, a development that might have seemed unlikely when his documentary first sparked the conversation.
As for Apu's revenge spree, it was all a nightmare. He woke up at the Kwik-E-Mart, where Homer invited him to a Halloween party.
After nearly nine years, Apu's back in Springfield. Let's just hope Homer remembers to pay for his next Squishee.
Christina Applegate was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) back in 2021 and has become a leading advocate for the autoimmune disease, raising awareness and encouraging further research.
Now she feels like a fraud who's let people down after discovering that she didn't have MS after all.
On her MeSsy podcast, which she co-hosts with Jamie Lynn Sigler, where they talk about womanhood and living life with MS, Applegate just returned to the podcast after spending a month in the hospital.
During that hospital stay, struggling with symptoms of what they thought was MS at the time, Applegate's doctors discovered symptoms that could not be attributed to multiple sclerosis, confirming that she didn't have it after all.
Multiple sclerosis is among the autoimmune diseases that still need much more research to be done to get real answers, and patients typically receive a diagnosis through a process of elimination instead of a test that confirms it.
However, because the disorder is confirmed through a process of elimination, sometimes people are wrongfully diagnosed with MS and treated for something they don't have, even if their symptoms seem to match up.
During her return podcast episode, Applegate confided:
"She came into my room and said, ‘Congratulations, you don’t have MS.'"
"You don’t get misdiagnosed and then all of a sudden, I’m better."
"I haven’t gotten better, Jamie. If anything, I’ve gotten worse in some ways."
"So I’m back at square one, that I don’t know what’s wrong with me. And that’s going to be an online investigation that my doctors are going to get into, and just to find out what has been happening since 2021."
"Why did this happen? I have every symptom of someone who has MS. Every single one.”
Instead of feeling hopeful, Applegate felt like she was back at square one, trying to find answers.
"It’s clear now that they’re finding something different. Something else is going on..."
"It’s this weird feeling because I became this poster child for MS."
"Everything I was doing, I had a reason. I had a f**king reason why my days sucked every day, and now I don’t have a reason, and it’s very unnerving, and it’s really confusing for me."

On the second episode of MeSsy that appeared after Applegate returned, a neurology professor joined them to discuss Applegate's misdiagnosis, and they explained that upwards of 20% of people diagnosed with it and treated for it don't actually have MS, but something that looks and behaves like it.
The professor confirmed:
"Almost 1 in 5 of these people who’d been told they had MS, some for decades, didn’t actually have it. And a majority of them were on medication to treat their MS."
Applegate's news was shared on X, where X users sympathized with her, many having been misdiagnosed themselves.
While Christina Applegate might feel like she's back at square one, she has information now that she didn't have in the very beginning.
Los Angeles Dodgers player Alex Call has called out Major League Baseball and all its broadcasters for a series of ads featuring actors Sydney Sweeney and Megan Fox.
Call called the provocative ads "soft-core porn" and said they're making it impossible for him to watch baseball with his young son. Call's post was in response to one by X creator Taylor Murphy, owner of a security company based in Utah.
Both men complained that the ads feature "half-naked women," meaning Sweeney and Fox.
Call wrote:
"Can we please get the soft porn ads off playoff broadcasts, TBS, Fox, NBC, @MLB?"
"My son wants to watch baseball with Dada, but how do I justify that when a half-naked women could come on screen anytime??"
"This is America’s Pastime. Parents shouldn’t have to worry about this."
In his post, Murphy called out two ads in particular. His tweet read:
"Hey @MLB - wanna get more kids watching baseball? Maybe start with the commercials. Watching the playoffs tonight with my kids and here's the rundown:"
"- Megan Fox selling ED pills in a red bodysuit"
"- The scariest movie trailer you've ever seen"
"- Sydney Sweeney in zero clothes promoting betting on sports"
- YouTubeyoutu.be
He went on to gripe:
"Leagues can't figure out why kids don't watch. You don't need a Nickelodeon game. You're not the Savannah Bananas. Just show baseball in a way I can leave on in my house."
Sweeney, of course, has pretty much made hypersexualized, scantily clad advertising her bread and butter recently, with a controversial ad for American Eagle and now one for Novig, a betting platform, in which she appears topless.
- YouTubeyoutu.be
Call's bio touts himself as a Christian, and Murphy is based in Provo, Utah, basically one of the epicenters of the Mormon-led "trad wife" movement that helped re-elect Donald Trump.
It's hard not to wonder if the recent trend toward resurgent Puritanism isn't part of the annoyance here.
However, it's also pretty hard not to understand why a parent wouldn't want to have to worry about boner pills and a completely naked Sweeney coming on in the afternoon during a baseball game.
And at least when it comes to Sweeney's ad, Call and Murphy definitely aren't alone in their consternation.
The ad has been roundly criticized as being sexist, including by organizations like the Female Athlete Project, who said in a statement:
"We’re not entirely sure if ‘Novig’ or Sydney Sweeney and her PR team have ever watched sports. But honestly, wow. It’s incredible they could fit so much misogyny in 40 seconds."
On X, Call and Murphy both had plenty of supporters.
But others couldn't help but notice both men's conservative leanings, and thought their outrage was a bit overboard.
Two things can be true at the same time, of course. There is definitely some puritanical pearl-clutching going on here. But should parents really have to deal with ads this sexualized in the middle of the afternoon?
