–Brian Coxyelled in character at all the photographers on the red carpet and it was clearly a joke when you see the video, but Fisher Stevenswas being interviewed down the carpet when it happened and you can tell he had no idea if Cox was actually yelling at someone or not.

–Law Roach appeared on Emily Ratajkowski‘s “High Low with EmRata” podcast and said Zendayawas surprised he hadn’t warned her he was retiring. “She calls [and] she said, ‘Girl, I thought we’d make big decisions together.’ She, of course, supported me. She’s like, ‘Do you need me to send you on a vacation?

This time, she let me pick her up from the airport and she [broke up with me] on the way back from another job of hers. It was in traffic on the freeway. She wanted to wait until we got to the house because I knew something was up, but I was like, ‘Dude. It’s going to take me 45 minutes to get home.’ I was just like, ‘UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE,’ but I knew it.”
