Daniel Radcliffe, girlfriend Erin Darke expecting their first child

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is going to embrace parenthood. Daniel's rep confirmed the news adding that Radcliffe and longtime girlfriend Erin Darke are expecting their first child, after more than 10 years of dating since playing love interests in their 2013 movie 'Kill Your Darlings'. According to People, a US-based media company, Daniel said earlier that he and Darke are "really happy" together. "I've got a really nice life. I've been with my girlfriend for a decade, pretty much," he added. After working together again on the 2016 movie 'Don't Think Twice' and season 3 of Radcliffe's TBS series 'Miracle Workers', he said the experience "was incredibly special and felt lovely," but it was more of a sporadic occurrence. "We definitely like [working together], but it's not something we want to do all the time," he said. "Hopefully we'll get to do more in the future, but we also both write," added Radcliffe. "So maybe we'd write something together at some point, and that would be cool." Also Read: Daniel Radcliffe addresses rumours he's the next Wolverine in 'X-Men' films Although the couple has kept their relationship mostly out of the spotlight, Darke accompanied him on the red carpet of his movie 'Weird: The Al Yankovic Story's' TIFF premiere in last September reported People. Radcliffe told Newsweek in October that he "wouldn't want fame for my kid," although: "I want my kids, if and when they exist... I would love them to be around film sets." "A dream would be for them to come onto a film set and be like, 'God, you know, I'd love to be in the art department. I'd love to be something in the crew,'" added Radcliffe. "Film sets are wonderful places. I think a lot of the time it can be wonderful for kids. But it's really the fame side of it that should be avoided at all costs," said Daniel.  This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

Kate Winslet self-identifies as water person in 'Avatar' BTS video

Hollywood actress Kate Winslet and her 'Titanic' director James Cameron re-teamed for 'Avatar: The Way of Water'. In a clip from the featurette 'New Characters of Pandora' - available on the digital release - Winslet discussed returning to the water, how she really didn't have a choice about taking the part of Ronal, and how she helped shape the character. When Winslet told her kids that Cameron had sent her the Avatar script, they didn't give her much of a choice about taking the part. But the "added water element" might have really sealed the deal for her, reports 'Entertainment Weekly'. "I am a water person," Winslet said, "All 'Titanic' jokes aside". 'The New Characters of Pandora' featurette introduces important new characters in the Avatar saga played by Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco, Brendan Cowell, and Jemaine Clement. "Kate has quite a presence in the film," Cameron said, quoted by 'Entertainment Weekly'. "She's not really like anybody else in the movie. Maybe Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) is the closest because they're both very strong, alpha characters. And, of course, they clash. That was fun. Watching them meet and clash is one of my favourite parts of the film." Winslet praised Cameron as well, particularly for inviting her to collaborate on the development of Ronal, a pregnant freediver of the water-based Metkayina. "The character really, really evolved as a specific result of the conversations between Jim and myself," the actress concluded.

Johnny Depp is residing in rural England to enjoy quiet life

Hollywood star Johnny Depp has chosen to enjoy a quiet life away from the glitz and blitz of Hollywood. After settling his defamation battle against ex-wife and actress Amber Heard, the actor opened up in a magazine interview that he is currently residing in a rural English countryside, reports aceshowbiz.com. Speaking to Somerset Life, the 59-year-old spilled the reasons behind his decision. "I just love places with character. I have various houses in various places and they all mean something special to me," he said. "I don't have them just to say I own them, I have them for use and because they are a bit special." The 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' actor additionally explained that staying in the area gave him a more comfortable life away from the spotlight. He added: "British people are cool and will greet you as if you are a neighbour without going over the top." Privacy was another reason for Depp. Also Read: Documentary on Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial set for digital debut "I don't mind if people want an autograph or a brief chat but not when I am having some private time with my family," he said. "I can go into shops without being surrounded by people wanting selfies. I don't mind that up to a point, but sometimes it gets a little too crowded." Pointing out that the low-key lifestyle suited him the best, he further said: "I like going to places, seeing things and meeting people - but I'm not the great extrovert that people think." He went on to say, "In truth, I'm quite a shy person. That's one of the great things about Britain, and especially Somerset. I can just be me - and that's nice." Johnny bought an 850-acre estate in Somerset for 13 million pound ($1,58,95,100) in 2014, as per the Evening Standard. His property, which Somerset Life described as "a great manor house," is a 19th century mansion equipped with 12 bedrooms and eight bathrooms. It is also surrounded by walled gardens.
