Robert Englund has played the beloved Freddy Krueger eight times on the big screen. Would the actor play the killer who murders people in their nightmares on Elm Street again?
“I’m too old and thick to play Freddy now,” the 75-year-old told Variety. “I just can’t do fight scenes for more than one take anymore, I’ve got a bad neck and bad back and arthritis in my right wrist. So I have to hang it up, but I would love to cameo.”
And talking about cameos. Englund did not appear in the shitty remake, and he has a theory of why it failed. He told the trade, “I’ve always thought that Freddy is described as a child killer. So when they made Freddy a child molester [in the remake], that’s not what Freddy is, I don’t think. By taking it to such a dark, dark place, there’s no room for the personality of Freddy to be exploited.”
That was the problem with the remakes for Nightmare, Friday the 13th, and Halloween. They all went to a very dark place, and none of the originals went there. We knew they were psychopaths, but the remakes showed it to the point it was uncomfortable to watch.
Before Steve Martin was a staple on The Tonight Show, he had to make his debut on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. How funny was the 28-year-old telling jokes to dogs in 1973?
Today on Sherri Shepherd’s talk show, she talked about how Sarah Jakes Roberts lost her wig over the weekend while she was giving a sermon. Instead of leaving the stage, she continued on without the wig and her wig cap showing.
Shepherd told her audience that she was so inspired by Roberts because she went on with sermon as though nothing happened.
As Shepherd was saying that, she stood up and her wig fell off.
What did Sherri do? She went on with the show!
You know what, I think she should do a show without her hair because she looks fabulous! What do you think?
Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are so A-List that they got better tickets to see Shania Twain at the Hollywood Bowl than Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson.
And by the looks of the two-time Oscar winner’s face in this photo, he is not happy about it. And I don’t blame him. He should have been front and center.
