Tom Hanks gave the best acting lesson when he was invited by the Oxford Union to speak two years ago.Though the Hollywood actor’s time wasn’t spent like many before him. Instead, he set out to teach, in the simplest terms, how to act. And it all came down to one rule.“Is there something I can do for you?” he says. He then invites everyone in attendance to say the words out loud, together; over and over again. In a repetition class, you would have to do it again and again and again, in as many different ways as you can. Hanks never took an acting class in his life, he confesses. But found a series of techniques to ensure he remains authentic and hits the mark every time. For anyone who’s interested in acting or public speaking, here’s a lifetime of learnings condensed into 18 minutes and well worth a watch today.
It's all gone Pete Tong for Djokovic. His first-round exit at the US Open is his earliest Grand Slam defeat in two decades — a five-set loss to Argentina's Mariano Navone, ranked outside the top 45, that left him spewing courtside and cramping through the fifth. Sunday just proved even the most decorated player in the sport's history isn't exempt from a bad night.

Chris Hemsworth knows Australian whisky is having a moment right now. In fact, more than a moment; it’s a curated culmination of nearly two decades of passionate craftspeople (and serious investment) that’s now hitting several inflection points at once in 2026.It’s why the Australian actor has invested in local legends Archie Rose – perfect timing as the Sydney staple put out its first aged statement whisky and smoky expression this year. Next move? Take over the US market. Go well, fellas.
