Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle EditorBrett Goldstein says he was forbidden to let anyone know that he filmed a cameo in “Thor: Love and Thunder.” Even his parents didn’t know.However, the actor’s “Ted Lasso” co-star Hannah Waddingham tells me that he asked her what he should do when the offer came in to play Hercules in the post-credit scene opposite Russell Crowe as his father Zeus. “He said to me, ‘I’ve been offered this thing and was wondering if I should take it?’” Waddingham said Monday night the “Ted Lasso” Emmy FYC event at the Maybourne in Beverly Hills. “I went, ‘Are you mental?

Are you having a little bit of a moment?’ He was like, ‘Why?’ I went, ‘Are you seriously thinking you might not play Hercules for like three seconds?’” Then Waddingham never heard about it again until “Love and Thunder” was released. “I was like, ‘You cheeky bastard!’” she said.Goldstein recalled meeting with the “Thor” costume department in secret to get his measurements for his Hercules armor. “I’ve never had anything fit me so well,” he told me. “The shoes!

I gotta tell you about the shoes. I got weird big feet, but the shoes were perfect. I put them on and they were perfect from the start.

They fit me perfectly.”Juno Temple laughed when asked when she found out about the casting. “I can’t say,” she said, smiling.She was gobsmacked when she saw the movie: “You’re like, ‘Dude, that’s one of my best friends in a big Hollywood movie!’ It was genius casting.”Phil Dunster was also hesitant to reveal when Goldstein might have told him the big news. “He’s always been Hercules to me,” he cracked. “He’s a big hunky boy.”Goldstein insists he doesn’t know what the futures holds for his Hercules, but Dunster hopes Marvel.
