Listen, there are actors, and then there are actors. Those who can truly transform themselves, mind, body, and soul, into a character. Gary Oldman is that kind of actor. Whether he’s playing real-life historical figures, or fictional icons, Oldman nails any physicality, dialect, and nuance needed to bring these characters to life, even (or perhaps especially) if those characters are pretty out of this world. In the case of Zorg in 1997's The Fifth Element, that’s literal, but we digress. If you’ve been watching Oldman on his latest show, Slow Horses, you might have noticed that his character, Jackson Lamb, has a fairly distinct tick of sorts: flatulence. The dude farts. A lot. Ferociously. And, being the consummate, Oscar winning actor that he is, Oldman wholeheartedly commits. “He’s got no filter, he doesn’t care about being judged and there’s really nothing to lose,” he told The Wrap. “There’s something very freeing and liberating about playing someone who really doesn’t give a f–k.” See on Instagram Now, imagine applying that characteristic to some of Oldman’s other notable, serious roles, like Ivan Korshunov in Air Force One, Sirius Black in Harry Potter, and even Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour. Actually, you don’t have to imagine it, because Stephen Colbert recently sat down with Oldman and played some of these iconic scenes (and more) all with a fart effect.Needless to say, the result was pretty epic. But really, it’s Oldman’s red faced, crying-from-laughing reaction that really seals the deal. Watch:Gary Oldman giggling at farts dubbed into his movies, then laughing 'til the tears roll down his cheeks, may well be the happiest minute of your day. pic.twitter.com/ObaDXuAkhX— Marshall Julius (@MarshallJulius) March 18, 2025 In fact, the moment only endeared people to him more, judging by the comments.“An actor that can find that much humor in farts dubbed in his movies is something we don’t deserve. Wholesome video of the day for me.”“His reaction was pure joy. Absolutely love it.”“This was the greatest interview. I love Gary Oldman even more now.”Why are farts funny? Farts have been making people laugh for a long, long time. In fact, the world’s first record joke, traced back to 1900 BC, was centered around a woman farting in her husband's lap. And it’s generally agreed that farts continue to be joke fodder because, well, everybody knows what it’s like to have a little toot come out. It’s a little reminder that none of us have full control over our sometimes-disgusting human bodies. Is it base? Yes, but it’s also universal. And universal is often funny. Even if you aren’t the biggest fan of fart humor, there’s still lots to love about Slow Horses, especially if you’re fond of underdog stories and yearn for a refreshing take on the espionage genre. In particular, Oldman’s Lamb has plenty of intensity, charisma, and uniquely dark humor (not to mention a healthy dose of menace) that makes the character compelling. By the way, there’s even more gems to be gleaned from this interview, including which onscreen death was Oldman's favorite, which he shares at around the 2 minutes and 45 seconds mark on the video below: - YouTube www.youtube.com

Sometimes, being married can feel like being one-half of a two-headed monster. You have to discuss and, often, debate every decision you make with the other person. This can get exhausting, especially when it involves small things such as what to eat for dinner, what color to paint the bathroom, or what movie to watch.Oftentimes, these decisions can take forever because one person has an idea, such as, “Let’s go get Italian food tonight.” However, the other person says no without having any suggestions. This can result in a stalemate that lasts for far too long, all the while your belly begins to groan louder and louder.What's the 50/50 method marriage hack?Kira Kosarin, an actress and musician best known for starring in Nickelodeon’s The Thundermans (2013-2018) and as Betsy Kelso on That ‘90s Show, has figured out a fun way to solve this marriage problem with her husband, actor-musician, Max Chester. They call it the 50/50 method. @kirakosarin What’s your 50? “My husband and I have a really great method for negotiating small things, like whether we wanna go out or stay in, or what we want for dinner, in a way that doesn't get you stuck in that awful loop where it's like, well, what do you wanna do?” Kosarin opens her video. “And it basically takes that conversation, and it turns it into numbers so that you can articulate what you would want selfishly and then also find common ground and make the decision based on what you now know truly the other person wants.” Kira Kosarin at Moroccan Lounge in August 2022.via Justin Higuchi/Wikimedia CommonsHow do married people choose what to eat for dinner?Kosarin uses the example of a conversation about where to go for dinner. “One of us will go, ‘Hey, I can’t decide. What’s your 50?’ And I’ll go, ‘I’m leaning, like, 60% Thai, 40% Indian.’ And then maybe Max will go, ‘Ooh. I’m leaning, like, 10% Thai and 90% Indian.’”Max would win in this scenario because he passionately wants Indian food. “Because even though I want Thai a little more, I now know you want Indian a lot more,” she says. The 50/50 method is effective because it allows people to quantify their desire. In this case, Chester made it known that he wanted Indian food instead of just kind of wanting it, as Kira did with Thai food. A couple having a romantic dinner.via Canva/PhotosKosarin shared another scenario where the two debated how much they wanted to go out on a Saturday night. “He’ll go, ‘Well, honestly, I'm like 60 in, 40 out.’ Then I can go, ‘Hmm. I'm like 20 in, 80 out.’ He'll go, ‘Okay, you really wanna go out. I don't really mind. My percentages are pretty close. Let's go out and do what you want.’”Ultimately, the lesson of the 50/50 method is that communication is key when it comes to having a healthy marriage. That means getting into details about how much something does or doesn’t mean to you. It’s also a lesson in compromise; if someone feels 90/10 about something, give them their way, and they’ll probably oblige when you feel as passionate on another day. Finally, the 50/50 method turns agonizing discussions into a game, and the couple that plays together, stays together.

Fourth grader Campbell is unashamed of her autism diagnosis. The incredible 10-year-old created a PowerPoint presentation to tell her class all about it, complete with helpful information about autism to help them understand what it is and to encourage an atmosphere of acceptance. Campbell's mom, Stephanie Hanrahan (@tinklesherpants), shared a video on Instagram of her daughter giving her presentation to a room full of attentive students. "Our daughter decided to tell her class she's autistic. We had no idea she was doing this. She decided to use her free time at school to create a presentation," she writes in the video's caption.The video begins with Cam standing in front of the class starting her presentation. "My name is Cam, and I have autism. Autism is a disability that affects socializing with people, learning, and other stuff. It can make life hard, but I am very open sharing about it," she begins. "I like to call autism my invisible disability." See on Instagram Cam goes on to explain all the things that autism can affect, before moving on to describing how all autism is not the same. She shares that she has a younger brother with autism named Eli who is in second grade. "We have the same disability, but we don't have the same special needs," she says. See on Instagram Another slide features 'Famous People with Autism', where she included photos of Elon Musk, Albert Einstein, Bill Gates and more...including herself in a funny nod. The next slide is about basic autism facts, before she highlights another slide about stimming. She shares that stimming is a natural way that people with autism move or fidget with their bodies. Common stims may be flopping, knee bobbing, repetition, and humming. "Stimming is absolutely not okay to make fun of or copy," she says.At the end of her presentation, the entire class gives her a rousing round of applause and Cam wears a large, proud smile on her face. Her mom Stephanie added in the caption, "Do not discount this generation. I know there are bad seeds in every bunch, but in my experience, children are often way more open-minded and inclusive than adults. And it’s all because of classrooms like these where an autistic girl is given the chance to stand with pride and say, 'This is me.' Raise your kids to be proud of every stripe. Raise your kids to embrace everyone’s story." See on Instagram Cam's powerful presentation got tons of positive comments from viewers, including a teacher who knows her. The teacher wrote, "I’m one of the fourth grade teachers lucky enough to know Cam and the gift she is to us all. I boo hoo cried during her whole presentation out of admiration for her and pride in her peers. There is so much beauty in kids and we learn so much from them. If the world could mirror our fourth graders, it’d be a much more beautiful place. Thank you for sharing the gift of Cam with us, and the world! She is a deeply beautiful soul and we all have so much to learn from her. ❤️"Others chimed in, saying: "AND she started a trend at school of kids talking about their differences. That was awesome on so many levels!" "This is so brave and her peers response is so beautiful ??❤️." "She did such a great job of explaining Autism, stimming and several other aspects of the condition. She was funny and confident, and her classmates seem to have enjoyed and learned a lot. This really helps get conversations started and makes the entire environment a lot more inclusive! Way to go?."
