It was even there King Charles III at the London premiere of IGladiator 2which comes out today in Italian cinemas. Arrived aboard a Bentleythe monarch could not have kicked off the celebrations for his birthday in a better way 76th birthday which is celebrated today, although perhaps he will have suffered from a slight loneliness, given that the original plan was to enjoy the evening together with his wife Camillahowever stuck in the palace due to convalescence for one bad chest infection.
Palace sources have been quick to reiterate in recent days that nothing serious is happening, and judging by the relaxed face of Queen Elizabeth’s heir we are certain that this is exactly the case, also because together with her husband she had recently hosted a ceremony at Buckingham Palace reception for the centenary of Film and TV charitya charity supporting people working in the sector, of which he inherited the status of patron from his mother, who had held this role since 1952.

And then the cast. Paul Mescalwho plays the son of Maximus Decimus Meridius (Russell Crowe) Lucius made his entrance in great form. In several interviews in recent months he said he had subjected to training and targeted nutrition to better put himself in the shoes of the gladiator, but for having refused to completely eliminate alcohol. A small mistake that in no way affected his image, perfect for the rolewhich according to rumors he would have competed with Timothée Chalametalso in the running for the part.
Neither Pedro Pascalface of the cruel Marcus Acacius, went unnoticed. Accompanied by sister Lux. The two have a very close relationship and speaking of his sister, who had come out and declared herself transgender in 2021, the actor said during an interview for Esquire magazine: «She is and has always been one of the people and personalities most powerful I have ever known. My protective side is lethal, but I need her more than she needs me.”
The evening, held at theOdeon Luxe Leicester in central Londonwas also preceded by a small controversy. Denzel Washington (Emperor Macrinus in the film) on the red carpet flanked by his wife Pauletta Pearson, he told the magazine of Gayetyto have turned a scene where she kissed a man before killing him but that this he does not appear in the final version of the film. “I think they weren’t ready for this,” he commented.
Even a kiss, this time on the forehead, between Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal was not included in the final cut. Yesterday however, controversy gave way to glamour.
