it’s a total failure as a magazine cover story, but this fascinating non-event says more about the psychology of Tom Cruise than any access-all-areas profile could
Presenting GQ’s October global cover star: Tom Cruise.
It’s been 20 years since @TomCruise last appeared on the cover of GQ, and, in some ways, he’s living like it’s 2006 again.
He's taking his riskiest creative swing in decades in #DiggerMovie—and delivering GQ a rare in-depth (on-camera!) interview gq.visitlink.me/vpo-E1

was a pleasure doing the concept and creative direction for this one, with @SunderlandAFC and @_greenfootball
🔙 In 2023, successive storms destroyed parts of Roker Pier, our beloved local landmark.
Maureen is a lifelong Sunderland supporter and volunteer tour guide for the Roker Pier.
To mark #GreenFootballsGreatSave, Maureen tells us her story. 💚

Whenever I read an interview with Danny Dyer, it's the funniest and most insightful interview I've read in ages. This by @SamDiss is no exception. gq-magazine.co.uk/article/da…

immensely proud of how this has turned out, and this last episode is probably the most personal and vulnerable story i’ve ever told. plz have a listen wherever you listen to these things.

the amount of blanket coverage the Chalamet competition does make you shudder at the unholy door it has unhinged: endless made-for-virality lookalike contests for increasingly inane celebs. we have brought fresh hell upon ourselves. enjoy Adamdriverfest in January.

English football culture used to take pride in working class clubs in the middle of low income cities. I can’t stand this loser mindset of looking down on something you THINK you’re above, usually behind an anonymous social media account.
Glad Watford got battered today.

I am not a football fan. I have never witnessed football-related violence. But my goodness @SamDiss’s podcast THE ENGLISH DISEASE is brilliant. That is how you tell a story.

How dare you. British slaveowners were compensated to the equivalent of near £20 BILLION in today’s money, drawing a debt that was only paid off, by taxpayers, in 2015. Gladstone’s father received one of the largest individual payouts, equivalent to £80m today. Shall I continue?
They ought to pay us for ending slavery, it is not something any other country had done and we were motivated by Christian charity.
