Robbie Williams, the former mentor of One Direction, is shocked, sad, and confused over the tragic passing of Liam Payne. In a lengthy tribute, Williams recalled the “lighthearted pisstakery” the boys indulged in when they were part of the band. He was aware of Payne’s “trial and tribulations” referring to his alcohol addiction issues and kept in touch. “it made sense to reach out and offer what I could. So I did,” he wrote in his tribute. 

Although the untimely demise of the One Direction alum was a tragedy, Williams empathized with the struggles he might have faced as someone who had to deal with a similar issue. “I still had my demons at 31,” he wrote — Payne’s age when he died. “ “I relapsed. I was in pain. I was in pain because I relapsed. I relapsed because of a multitude of painful reasons,” he added. 

Williams recalled learning of Heath Ledger’s passing due to substance abuse and thinking he was following. However, “by the grace of God and/or dumb luck,” he is still alive. On that note, he pleaded with people to show more kindness and empathy toward the famous figures as they might be struggling in their personal lives. “Even famous strangers need your compassion,” he wrote. 

Andrew Garfield is open to donning the Spider-Man suit again on the big screen but has set some conditions. If these are met, the actor would consider revisiting the role.

In a conversation with People Magazine, Garfield discussed his upcoming film We Live In Time and shared insights about his experience playing the superhero in Marvel films. Speaking about the Spider-Man franchise, The Social Network actor revealed that all he requires is a good environment to bring the character back to life.

He also reflected on his experience working with Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man: No Way Home, saying, “I think we had such a great time on that last one that you want to just go, ‘Okay, leave it. It was great. It worked. It was a risk, and it really, really worked.’”

In the Marvel movie mentioned above, the 41-year-old actor donned the Spider-Man suit for the first time since The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014. That film followed the story of Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy, played by Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone.
