Vin Diesel just left the Fast & Furious fans stunned with a surprise announcement.

The 58-year-old shared a post on social media hinting of a potential appearance of the popular soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo in the upcoming Fast film.

However, the caption on the post was altered as he first mentioned that Ronaldo was supposedly going to star in the prequel of the franchise titled Los Bandoleros in 2009, but it didn’t happen.

But now the caption on the post confirms that there is a role specifically written for the soccer player in the forthcoming Fast & Furious 11.

Along with a picture, Vin wrote, “Everyone asked, would he be in the Fast mythology… I gotta tell you he is a real one. We wrote a role for him…”

Following the announcement, the internet flooded with reactions from fans who think it is going to be “wild.”

One of them wrote, “We got Cristiano in Fast X before GTA 6 too. This is wild.”

Another fan commented, “Vin Diesel the only actor to get Neymar and now Cristiano in a movie. Next one will be Messi.”

Fast X: Part 2 is set to release in April 2027. It will reunite Diesel with Michelle Rodriguez, Jason Momoa, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Sung Kang. 

Euphoria season three left fans at the edge of their seats as the await what’s next.

The teen psychological drama dropped the first look of Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Alexa Demie, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer and Maude Apatow.

The streaming platform HBO and HBO Max, shares stills no Instagram of the main cast in their next phase of lives.

The new images connected with the details creator Sam Levinson previously teased during a presentation.

Per Variety, he said that the new season is set five years after high school. Levinson also teased that Zendaya’s Rue Bennett is “trying to come up with some very innovative ways” to pay off debt.

Sweeney’s Cassie Howard and Elordi’s Nate Jacob are “living in the suburbs” and engaged, Schafer’s Jules Vaughn is in art school, Demie’s Maddy Perez is “working in Hollywood at a talent agency for a manager” and Apatow’s Lexi Howard “is an assistant to a showrunner played by Sharon Stone.”

The new photos came just hours after unleashing a 2026 brand spot showcasing new footage of forthcoming season.

In the spot, which also includes glimpse of other HBO and HBO Max projects such as The Pitt season 2, The Comeback season 3 and Rooster.

Rue Bennett is seen at a church as she is heard saying, “there is no turning back.”

Another glimpse she is seen dancing at what looks like a party and shows Demie, Elordi, Sweeney, Schafer, and crew “a few years after high school,” as a voice announces.

Fans also get a glimpse of actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who says to Rue, “You walk up into my house and you don’t even introduce yourself.”

Earlier this month, the streaming platform confirmed that Euphoria‘s third season would be arriving in April 2026, over four years after the conclusion of the show’s second season.

Jim Carrey has revealed just how close he came to walking away from one of the biggest roles of his career, nearly returning a reported $20 million paycheck while filming How the Grinch Stole Christmas. 

As the holiday classic marks its 25th anniversary, the actor opened up in a new oral history with Vulture about the extreme physical and mental toll the role took on him behind the scenes.

While the 2000 Ron Howard-directed film became a massive success, earning $346 million worldwide and topping the domestic box office that year, Carrey says the experience of becoming the Grinch was almost unbearable. 

The transformation involved hours of heavy makeup, prosthetics, and a full-body suit that left him struggling just to get through the day.

Legendary makeup artist Rick Baker explained that the studio initially wanted a much simpler approach. 

“The studio said, ‘We’re paying Jim $20 million, and we want to see him. Just paint him green,’” Baker recalled. But he pushed back, insisting the character needed to look like the Grinch, not “green Jim Carrey.” 

After public backlash, the studio agreed to the more elaborate design.

That decision came at a cost. 

Carrey explained how the prosthetics affected his breathing and movement, saying, “Ultimately, I ended up mouth-breathing through the entire movie.” 

He described the suit as unbearably itchy, his vision severely limited, and even simple actions like scratching impossible.

Producer Brian Grazer shared that Carrey refused digital shortcuts, insisting on fully committing to the character, even when it caused him intense pain. 

“It was something that I asked for that I can’t blame on anyone but myself,” Carrey admitted.

Director Ron Howard revealed that after spending eight hours in the makeup chair on the first day, Carrey reached his breaking point. 

“He was ready to give his $20 million back! I mean, he was sincere,” Howard said. The actor even began experiencing panic attacks on set.

To keep the production on track, the filmmakers brought in a specialist trained in helping people endure extreme stress. 

That guidance, along with music from the Bee Gees, eventually helped Carrey cope, and the makeup process was reduced to about three hours.

Looking back, Carrey has said he’d only consider playing the Grinch again using motion-capture technology. 

For now, his story offers a striking reminder that even the most iconic performances can come at a personal cost far greater than audiences ever see.
