Ben Kingsley's ‘vacuum’ of childhood healed by Queen's recognition — unearthed interview
His success, he said in a 2013 interview, was inspired by the “vacuum” of a loveless upbringing.Speaking to the Daily Express, he said: “I had always been the song-and-dance man of the family.“I remember my father referring to me as ‘Our little Danny Kaye’ when I was about seven.“That was the only remotely positive comment I remember from them.“They never praised me or acknowledged a gram of talent.“Their way was to mock, ‘When are you going to finish with this acting lark?’ That sort of thing.”The Queen, he explained, helped heal the scars of his upbringing when she awarded him a knighthood in 2002 for services to the British film industry.He said: “Any kind of embrace was totally absent from my life.“So to be embraced by Her Majesty, I felt like stopping people in the street, saying ‘My mum loves me, you know’.“Because that’s what it felt like, to me.The filling of a vacuum in the universe.”Speaking separately to the BBC at the time, he said: “I told the Queen that winning an Oscar pales into insignificance — this is insurmountable.“I've been nominated for an Academy Award but I will be sitting there, in Los Angeles, thinking I'm a knight bachelor.”He added: “I feel that I am a storyteller and to receive a knighthood is really recognition of that.”He heartbreakingly admitted that, rather than being proud, his mother had been “very jealous” of his immense success.Sir Ben, married four times, has four children and is hugely proud of each of them.He told the Express: “In contrast to my parents their ribs are in danger of being crushed.”Sir Ben has largely cut ties from his past, having changed his name in the Sixties.On the impact of adopting an English-sounding name, he told the Radio Times in 2020: “As soon as I changed

Movie Review: Morbius — Dial Down Your Expectations
The filmmakers and corporations behind Sony’s Marvel Comics adaptation Morbius (★☆☆☆☆) have had ample time to consider what they’re aiming for with this big-budget film intro for living vampire, and vintage Spider-Man nemesis, Dr. Michael Morbius.Namely they should have figured out by now whether their version of the character — portrayed in astonishingly muted fashion by Oscar-winner and accent devourer Jared Leto — exists in any known Spider-Man film universe, or maybe one that’s merely Spidey-adjacent, à la Venom.After half a decade and at least seven release date delays, moviegoers and Marvel fans (not mutually exclusive) also have had ample time to try to make sense of every hint in the marketing, and every detail of speculation.But the murky, mundane origin story that director Daniel Espinosa and credited writing team Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless have come up with treats making sense more as a perk than a prerequisite, so dial down expectations accordingly.Ultimately, Morbius is a setup — a long-winded prologue to some prospective later franchise entry, teased in the two underwhelming mid-credits sequences that will prolong this experience for many who would otherwise be ready to bolt by then. Strangely enough, the movie checks out first, practically stopping on a dime following a listless showdown between super-vampire-powered Morbius and friend-turned-foe Milo, played by past and perennial Dr.

Jared Leto isn't worried about how people are going to interpret his remarks — but he's certainly going to stand by them, despite possible push-back.The Oscar winner recently spoke with ET's Will Marfuggi about his long-awaited and oft-delayed Marvel/Sony project, and he addressed the growing debate sparked by a remark he made in a recent interview with about big-budget superhero films.«I pretty much just bury my head in the sand, say a lot of stupid s**t and then let everybody go have fun with it,» said Leto, with a laugh, explaining that he didn't know his comments had stirred a lot of chatter in online film circles and among Marvel fans. «But I would say it again. I mean, are people upset with it? Do they agree with it? What are they, confused about it?»During a profile for, Leto said, «If it wasn’t for Marvel films, I don’t even know if theaters would exist… It doesn’t seem like there’s room for everyone, and that starts to become a little heartbreaking.»According to the star, it's all a matter of basic economics.«If you look at the box office and what people are buying tickets for, I worked at movie theater as a kid, OK, and I'm talking about what's actually generating revenue to keep the buildings open and the people employed and the ecosystem thriving,» Leto told ET.
