Düneck Castle near Hamburg can truly be described as a house with a history – one that spans the Atlantic and features fabulous wealth, impossible love… and even a ghost. Built in 1871 for the cosmopolitan New York Lienau family, the Neo-Gothic pile has, a century and a half later, passed through many hands, during which, owner Andreas Hanitsch confides: “The walls of this magical place have seen everything.” However, by the time Andreas, 61, and his wife Thani Huynh, 44, discovered it three years ago, the only residents were local wildlife Scores of deer and rabbits roamed the grounds, while the house had been taken over by “a very fat black cat and a huge owl who’d nested in the facade”. For the couple, who are both entrepreneurs and…

His WWE wrestling career might have earned him a reputation as a tough guy, but Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a big softie underneath, especially when it comes to his daughters. The actor, who is reprising his role as demigod Maui in the sequel to Disney’s animated musical adventure film Moana, tells us how excited Jasmine, eight, and six-year-old Tiana were to visit the studio. And his wife Lauren Hashian revealed on Instagram last week that their children even voiced their own characters for the film. Dwayne, 52, also has an older daughter from his first marriage: Simone, 23, a professional wrestler known as Ava Raine. The star made his mark in Hollywood with roles in The Mummy Returns, Baywatch and the Jumanji franchise, but says this role is special…

He turns 80 next month, but Sir Rod Stewart shows no sign of letting his sartorial crown slip as he approaches his landmark birthday, still shimmying around in a variety of flamboyant outfits that have been his trademark ever since he first found fame. And while his fans get great pleasure from seeing him peacocking on stage with his outre outfits, the singer who once asked: “Do ya think I’m sexy?” gets just as much enjoyment from his wardrobe. “I believe it’s all part of showbusiness and I love clothes and always have even when I had no money,” he said last year as he took his social media followers on a video tour of his dressing room in Las Vegas, where he has a long term residency. Never one…

The cinema-going world might be thrilled byDenzel Washington’s powerful performance in Gladiator II, but it’s a much smaller project that occupies the space closest to his heart. And that’s Netflix horror drama The Piano Lesson, based on US-born playwright August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Not only has Denzel co-produced the screen adaptation with his daughter Katia, but it is also his youngest son Malcolm’s directorial debut feature. The film stars his eldest son John David, and there are also roles for Denzel’s actress wife Pauletta and youngest daughter Olivia, plus his old friend Samuel L Jackson. While Malcolm was studying film-making at college and training with director Spike Lee, audiences grew familiar with his brother John David in Tenet, BlacKkKlansman and The Creator. Despite his own producing skills, Denzel says: “The…

It’s rare to see a show in which a mature actress plays someone in a position of power. So to get two such roles in new TV series Dune: Prophecy was a delight for award winners Emily Watson and Olivia Williams.“I met Olivia when we first got the parts, and we went to the National Portrait Gallery,” recalls Emily, 57. “We sat in front of portraits of Elizabeth I, Mary Queen of Scots, Bloody Mary, Lady Jane Grey – all those women who lived in that terrifying time in British history where it was really a police state, and everybody wanted to kill or marry you. “Both of those were a route to power,” continues Emily, who plays older sister Valya to Olivia’s Tula Harkonnen in the sci-fi series, a…
