Cruise's injury was life-saver: 'Mission: Impossible - Fallout' director McQuarrie

Tom Cruise's ankle injury on "Mission: Impossible - Fallout" came as a blessing in disguise for director Christopher McQuarrie, giving him a much needed break to figure out the film. McQuarrie, who is the only director to return for a "Mission: Impossible" film, said the injury of their lead star changed the entire shape of the production. "His injury was actually a life-saver. We had started the film without a finished script. You're always running up against a release date, so we were constantly feeling the pressure of trying to finish the film while we were trying to figure the film out. And when Tom broke his ankle, that just changed the entire shape of the production," McQuarrie told PTI in an interview. The director said they decided to start editing the film while they were still shooting and it helped them up the ante from the previous versions. "It allowed us to rewrite the screenplay, make a lot of discoveries along the way. That's what happens when you make these movies, ...

Ryan Reynolds has revealed that Hollywood star Brad Pitt wanted the actor to bring a cup of coffee for him as his fee for doing a cameo in "Deadpool 2". In the "Deadpool" sequel, Pitt made a surprising blink-and-you-miss-it appearance as the meta-superhero's ally known as The Vanisher, ET Online reported. The Vanisher was invisible in the entire film, except for a split second shot where he is revealed to be none other than Pitt. "Brad Pitt said he'd do it if Ryan personally delivered a cup of coffee from Starbucks, right?" asked "Deadpool 2" co-writer Rhett Reese. "Sort of embellished. I was told all he wants is a cup of coffee and I said, 'Like a franchise or just one individual cup of coffee?' And I was told one individual cup of coffee, which was really his way of saying, 'I'm doing it for nothing.' And it was a total solid and the nicest thing anyone could do," Reynolds responded. "I just loved it, because what's more irresponsible than taking one of the biggest movie stars in ...

Charlie Puth underwent vocal surgery

Charlie Puth has revealed he had undergone nasal surgery to correct his septum and says it means he can "sing better now". The 26-year-old singer said he was not going to share the news but eventually decided against it. "I had nasal surgery to correct my septum, and nobody knows I had surgery. I can sing better now. I was never gonna tell anybody, but I can tell people. If Kylie Jenner can tell everybody..." Puth told Vanity Fair magazine. The "We don't talk anymore" hitmaker added his first album, 'Nine Track Mind' was akin to "printing lottery tickets" as all the songs sounded different. "The first record's elementary chords. I'm just getting my foot in the door, I don't know what I'm doing as an artist. That's why (the songs) 'Marvin Gaye', 'One Call Away', 'We Don't Talk Anymore' don't sound anything alike. I'm printing lottery tickets," he said.
