In case you missed it, on Oct 24, Murphy arrived at the UK Premiere of Small Things Like These. And he arrived in style at The Curzon Mayfair in London, England. You can see the photos below:

In the photos, we see the Peaky Blinders alum in a chic outfit comprised of a burnt orange jacket, a gray-green collared shirt, and black trousers; and oh yeah, the new ‘do.

In some lights, it looks gray, while in others, it looks blonde. Either way, it’s new, it’s bright, and it makes him look so different! Seriously, we’ve seen Murphy with dark brown, borderline black hair ever since he came onto he acting scene in 1996. While he went a bit gray for Oppenheimer, this is, by far, the lightest we’ve ever seen his hair.

Now, it seems as though this surprising hair transformation is all for his newest film, Small Things Like These, a historical drama based on the novel of the same name that follows a coal merchant, Bill Furlong, making a big discovery around Christmastime in 1985. It’ll be released in the UK on Nov 1, 2024, and who knows? Maybe blonde/gray-haired Murphy will be in it throughout the long-awaited film.

Sources told Closer Weekly that Jackman’s lifestyle changes may affect him negatively in the long run, talking about the “new theater buddies that he’s spending most of his time with.”

“He’s ditched a lot of people in his life that were steady influences and seems to be putting his whole focus on this new crowd,” they said. “They’re all a lot younger than him and pretty wild.”

The sources added, “Hugh can be very easily influenced, and he can be quite naïve. So of course his old circle is worried about him. It’s great that he has this new interest in transcendental meditation, but he needs a good deal more than that because he’s very burnt out after all the stress with [the release of this year’s] Deadpool.”

Now, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard about his old inner circle’s worries about him.

Inside sources told InTouch Weekly in April 2024, that Jackman may be having a bit of a crisis after he and Furness separated. “He doesn’t seem to have the time for his old crowd and they feel they’ve been ditched right along with Deb….Between the self-obsessed social media posts and the fact that he’s started partying with people half his age, it’s sounding alarm bells for a lot of his old friends.”

Hopefully, Jackman is doing just fine behind-the-scenes, but it’s sweet that his pals reportedly care so much.

“Happy Birthday my angel pie 🥧 🎉 30, flirty and thriving 🎈,” she captioned a carousel post featuring snaps of the two kissing, about to take off on a hot air ballon adventure, and hitting the ski slopes. 

Pearson, the heir to the Cowdray Estate, and Turner first sparked relationship rumors in when they were spotted kissing on the streets of Paris in October 2023, just a month after Turner and Jonas announced their separation. The two reportedly met through mutual friends and have attended public events like polo matches and fashion shows together since making their official public debut in February attending Stanley Zhu’s Year of the Dragon celebration together at Dixie Queen in London.

Just because Turner and Pearson started dating relatively quickly following the divorce announcement doesn’t mean it’s been an amicable or easy divorce. Jonas filed for divorce on Sept. 5, 2023, citing an “irretrievably broken” marriage. A day later, the two released a joint statement, saying the split was amicable. Lifestyle differences allegedly played a massive role in the split, with Jonas preferring to stay home and Turner enjoying time out exploring, as evidenced by her latest snapshots celebrating Pearson.

But the amicability didn’t last long, as three weeks later, Turner sued Jonas, accusing him of keeping their kids in the U.S. despite previous plans to move them to England. Turner also battled her own “party girl” rumors throughout the ordeal, and turned to her friend Taylor Swift when she needed a place to stay as she figured out child custody. 

After a lot of back and forth in the drawn-out divorce, the two finally reached a settlement in Sept. 2024, which the details of have been kept private. A month after closing the tumultuous chapter of her love life, it seems that Turner is finally able to breathe and enjoy her romance to the fullest.

Sources recently told People that Witherspoon is having a lot of fun dating Harrmann, and there are quite a few things she reportedly “loves” about him.

“Reese is doing great and enjoys dating. She’s having fun with Oliver. She often flies between Nashville and N.Y.C. to see him. He’s spending time with her kids too,” they said. “Reese loves that he’s a businessman and not into Hollywood.”

Now, this totally checks out when you remember that insiders told Life and Style Magazine earlier this year that they were talking a lot about business, finances, and more.

“They met through mutual friends in New York and hit it off,” the insider said to the outlet. “She loves to talk business and money and ways to invest, and he’s so knowledgeable,” they added. “The attraction grew from there. She’s loving the attention and is seeing where all this will go.”

Now, for those who don’t know, Witherspoon and Haarmann have been dating since the summer. Their first sighting came on July 30, but a People source emphasized that this was a casual relationship. However, since then, insiders have claimed they’ve grown closer, and he’s met her kids. Along with that, they’ve been seen quite a few more times together. So could this romance be for the long haul?

Commercials for his new position feature Brady walking along the sideline as crew members glance at him. Psyching himself up for the role, Brady imagines hearing doubts from the crew and passersby, responding with, “disrespect is a gift,” suggesting the doubters are pushing him to be his best. And in order to be the best, it seems like Brady is looking to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce for guidance in his new role. 

Kelce, who, for those who somehow are unaware, has been dating Taylor Swift since July 2023. Even before his world-famous romance started, his podcast, New Heights, co-hosted with his brother Jason Kelce of the Philadelphia Eagles, was wildly popular. He’s also making waves with his role in Ryan Murphy’s horror series Grotesquerie, and has more acting projects lined up, like the buddy film Loose Cannons and a cameo in Happy Gilmore 2. 

Despite juggling numerous projects, Kelce keeps his relationship with Swift thriving — a stark contrast to Tom Brady’s struggles to do the same, which played a significant role in his split from Gisele Bündchen. “You gotta hand it to Tom — he knows when he needs help and he knows exactly where to go to ask for it,” an insider told OK Magazine about Brady reaching out to Kelce. 

“The goal in Tom’s first year on the air at Fox is to not embarrass himself and to not blow the handful of very big blockbuster games he’ll be broadcasting this year. Nobody is pretending there isn’t a steep learning curve when it comes to getting good on the air, live in front of millions of fans,” the source added.

The insider further explained that Brady, 47, sought guidance from Kelce, 35, because of Kelce’s “years of podcasting under his belt.” “He’s gently quizzed Travis for tips on how to be quick on his feet and keep the commentary exciting for fans,” the source revealed, emphasizing the importance of showmanship in broadcasting. “He’s definitely going into this process with eyes wide open and his heart on his sleeve, for better or worse,” the source concluded.

Whether or not Kelce’s advice helps Brady remains to be seen, but when it comes to new challenges, having Kelce in his corner could be just what Brady needs to succeed in front of the camera.

On Oct. 23, we can see Olsen and Eisner out and about in Manhattan, rocking casual outfits. In the photos obtained by EOnline, we can see how the designer and her husband dress for a date night.

In the photo, we can see Olsen and Eisner twinning in striped button-downs. Olsen is donning a blue button-down, which she paired with black pants, a black scarf, and a matching black jacket. As for Eisner, he wore a dark gray cardigan over a white button-down shirt.

Even with their ultra-casual looks, the low-key couple finds a way to be adorable with their subtle matching moment.

For those who don’t know, back in Oct 2017, Ashley started dating artist Eisner. Fast forward to Dec 2022, and they married in Bel Air, Los Angeles. In 2023, they welcomed their first child together, a son named Otto.

However, they actually never confirmed to any outlets about their son’s birth, and kept everything a secret. Even in Oct 2024, not much else is known besides his name. And as we said, the Olsen family is quite private, so we’re not at all surprised that Ashley and Eisner are prioritizing their son’s privacy. Back in July 2021, her twin sister Mary-Kate told i-D shared that the reason they’re so private is simple. She said, “We were raised to be discreet people.”
