'The Witcher' team addresses Henry Cavill's exit: 'Conversations happened for a while' (exclusive) - Entertainment Weekly

Right now, somewhere on a soundstage at Pinewood Studios, several young British actors are lining up to have their dreams crushed. Rumor has it that Amazon execs and director Denis Villeneuve are finally holding screen tests to determine who will succeed Daniel Craig as the seventh James Bond. Not even M knows the full list of potential 007s, but Jack Lowden, Callum Turner and Josh O’Connor are widely presumed to be among the top contenders. One of these hopefuls, and only one, will end up inheriting the most coveted male lead in cinematic history. The rest will experience the emotional equivalent of being ejected from an Aston Martin passenger seat.

Kristen Bell admitted she cries every week for a certain reason, sparking harsh reactions online. “He needs to DIVORCE her,” one bluntly said.

Pursuing your dreams takes time, and Morgan Freeman had to wait until his golden years to make his acting aspirations a reality. The actor, who's starred in Hollywood classics like "The Shawshank Redemption," "The Dark Knight" trilogy, and "Million Dollar Baby" (the latter led to his Oscar win), only rose to prominence when he was 50. Freeman served in the U. S. Air Force as a mechanic, and pivoted to acting when he realized that flying wasn't his ultimate goal. Although his path to the big screen wasn't overnight, he was already taking steps toward acting in his youth. In the '50s, he moved to Los Angeles to hone his performing arts skills at the City College, and a few years later, Freeman was making strides on Broadway. Yet, the recognition for his work on film only came in 1987, when he starred in "Street Smart" and earned his first Academy Award nomination.
