Frank Henson, a legendary Hollywood stunt performer, has died at 83. Henson passed away at a hospital in Sussex, England from a short battle with an undisclosed illness, stunt historian Jon Auty told The Hollywood Reporter. His wife, Marion, and son, Mark, were at his bedside.

“He had a simple lesson in life – if someone is good to you, you should be good to them in return,” Auty told The Hollywood Reporter. “I will miss the times we had discussing his life and remembering the good times. Also, when he laughed, the room lit up. That’s a gift.”

Henson was best known for tussling with Mark Hamill during a speeder bike chase in Star Wars: The Last Jedi and fighting Harrison Ford in the action-packed climax of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. He also worked on several James Bond films including Casino Royale and You Only Live Once...

“Ah, you f*cking idiot,” says Travis Fimmel with a broad grin and a glint in his eye, and unfortunately it’s aimed directly at this HeyUGuys writer.

It’s almost the end of our second and final day on the set of Vikings in County Wicklow, a short distance from Dublin, and we’ve finally tracked down the enigmatic lead actor who seems to have been kept busy ever since we arrived. He’s in-between scenes and in full Viking garb – his wild beard and magnificent dreadlocked hair have him looking every inch the intimidating part – and we retreat to a quiet corner of the set to begin our interview. After a polite introduction we take a seat opposite Fimmel and begin to relax. Only, this HeyUGuys writer relaxes a little too much, leaning back too far on the flimsy canvas chair, ripping the fabric, ending up sprawled across...

Molly Quinn talks about her big fight with her TV dad.

"Sometimes, the good guys don't win."

Several weeks have passed since Alexis decided her father was persona non grata for having been mean to Pi. But the girl hasn't wasted any time on sulking. Instead, Alexis is actively pursuing a role in a justice project through her...
