Norman Scott has condemned his portrayal in the BBC’s A Very English Scandal.
The English model was played by Ben Whishaw in the 2018 miniseries. Whishaw won an Emmy, Bafta, and Golden Globe for his performance.
A Very English Scandal saw Hugh Grant play former Liberal leader Jeremy Thorpe, who was acquitted of conspiring with a hitman to kill his alleged ex-lover Scott. Homosexuality was illegal at the time.
Scott appeared on the podcast British Scandal: Jeremy Thorpe, and praised Whishaw’s performance but admitted that he was “very cross” over his portrayal in the drama.
Scott, 83, said: “Ben was being a very good actor, he had met me, he knew me, and I hoped that he would be me…
“I think it was very – I can say it because it’s what I believe – it was a black comedy. It was very unkind. But Ben played me very well.

The broadcaster’s comments come after the news that veteran DJ Ken Bruce was leaving the station after 45 years to go to Greatest Hits Radio.
InJanuary, when Bruce announced his departure, former Radio 2 DJ Vanessa feltz accused the BBC of “ageism”.
Now, O’Grady, who left Radio 2 in 2021 after being asked to share his slot with comedian Rob Beckett, has explained the motivation behind his decision.
“I was disappointed, because I’m a great believer in continuity,” he told Metro.co.uk, adding: “If you go off for 13 weeks and somebody else comes on, the listeners don’t know when you’re back on.”
He continued: “Radio 2 has changed; it’s not what it was. They’re trying to aim for a much younger audience, which doesn’t make sense because you’ve got Radio 1.

Grasshopper Film has secured the U.S. distribution rights to Iwow: I Walk on Water, a documentary feature from New York-based photographer and filmmaker Khalik Allah, to released in physical and virtual theaters later this year. In Iwow, Allah focuses on longtime muse Frenchie, a 60-something schizophrenic, homeless Haitian man, who he becomes increasingly intertwined with. In parallel, Allah, the filmmaker behind Black Mother, also turns the camera on himself to document a turbulent romantic relationship and grapple with personal notions of spirituality and mortality – all inquiries about which he gathers advice from charismatic confidants including Fab 5 Freddy, members of the Wu-Tang Clan, and, in deeply moving exchanges, his own mother. Allah, who made his debut with the 2015 documentary Field Niggas, said “My objective hasn’t changed, it’s always been to keep it real with myself; to stay true to my vision and to have the courage to express it cinematically.

Jansen Panettiere is all grown up! We were first introduced to Hayden Panettiere's adorable little brother when he starred in Disney's Tiger Cruise (11 years ago!), but her sibling is about to turn 21 years old in September and you will not believe how grown up he is. Jansen, who continues to expand his acting career and currently has three projects in post-production (according to his iMDB page), has become quite the handsome young man. And there's no doubt that Jansen has some striking similarities to his older sis (that smiles and those curls!). You might also remember seeing the young celeb in films such as Robots, The Last Day of Summer and The Forger. Back in 2013, he also...

On March 3 at the Ebell of Los Angeles, The American Foundation for Equal Rights staged a one-night-only reading, verbatim theatre style, of a play that was written by Academy-award winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black (Milk) and directed by Rob Reiner (The Bucket List). The play was based on the transcripts from the Perry vs. Schwarzeneggger trial, which Afer filed with the district court to overturn Proposition 8, the bill preventing gay and lesbian couples from marrying in California.

Apparently, Thailand rubs Jansen Panettiere the right way. The 14-year-old little brother of Hayden Panettiere attended the star-packed Los Angeles premiere of 17 Again on Thursday night, when reporter Audrey Kitching broached the topic of his recent world travels. So what's been his favorite part of traversing the globe so far? Getting massages. In Thailand. "I really enjoyed Thailand; that was incredible," Panettiere raves. "Bangkok—I'm sorry, but that's the coolest place on Earth. There's so many things going on. It's like New York City. You can go out and get a five-dollar incredible massage." Giggity!
