Let’s take a moment to talk about Leo Woodall. Not only did he send pulses racing in the gripping second season of The White Lotus, now he’s wowing audiences in the television adaptation of One Day. His cheeky nature – and dare I say it – ruffled appearance has delighted viewers, and his co-star Meghann Fahy, too. After months of speculation, Fahy has gone public with the pair’s secret romance and on page 22 you can hear from Leo on family, life and the “freak accident” that is his booming career. We’re also thrilled to welcome fitness trainer Tiffiny Hall, who smoulders in an exclusive photoshoot on page 12. In the interview Tiff gets candid about feeling as if she “hasn’t been in her body for so long” after having…

Ten months after welcoming her twins with husband Philip Schneider, Hilary Swank is done with keeping mum. The very private actress has finally shared the names of her two sweet little babies. In an image of the infants taken at the beach that the actress shared on Instagram on Valentine’s Day, “Aya” was spelled out in seaweed behind her little girl, while “Ohm” was written behind the baby boy. On February 19, the 49-year-old Oscar winner shared her inspiration for the monikers while appearing on the US breakfast show, Today. “Aya was a Syrian refugee we met in Lebanon,” Swank said. “So she was just this courageous, brave young girl full of life going through a really difficult time. My husband and I were like, she’s so beautiful, what a…

All the signs pointed to happily ever after for Robert Irwin and Heath Ledger’s niece, Rorie Buckey – but on the cusp of the wildlife warrior’s trip to South Africa to co-host his first ever season of I’m a Celebrity …Get Me Out of Here!, Australia’s cutest couple have called it quits. Irwin, 20, and Buckey, 19, released a joint statement via social media confirming the shock news. “We wanted to share that we have decided to go our separate ways but profoundly appreciate all of the time spent together and wish one another all the very best into the future,” the post on Buckey’s Instagram Stories read. “We wish to express the gratitude and respect that we have for one another as we continue our journey on different paths.”…

She’s a familiar face to many Aussie households, but this is Tiffiny Hall unlike some have ever seen her before. Stepping out of her comfort zone by shedding her trademark activewear and sleek ponytail for WHO’s exclusive photoshoot, the former TV star and founder of online health and fitness program, TXO Life, admits that she is finally starting to feel like herself again. “I just haven’t been in my body for so long,” the 39-year-old candidly confesses. “It took me so long to get fit again [after my last pregnancy] and I just thought it would never happen. So [this photoshoot] was a bit of a milestone … I’m back in my fit body and I feel good.” It’s this honest admission that has drawn a large, loyal and loving…

Leo Woodall SCENE STEALER Woodall and Ambika Mod take on Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway’s roles in the small screen remake of their 2011 flick One Day. “I met Leo at the chemistry reads,” Mod told the Reign podcast. “He is so cheeky and charming.” With the likes of Callum Turner, Barry Keoghan and Jacob Elordi dominating our screens, big and small, WHO has been delighting in what’s shaping up as Year of the It Boy. And Leo Woodall is another relative newcomer that we can’t wait to see more of. Whether stealing the scene as the divisive, good guy/bad guy Jack in Season 2 of The White Lotus, or portraying the damaged but dreamy Dex in One Day, the 27-year-old makes the perfect leading man. And his good looks…

EMILY BLUNT Despite initially having what she describes as a “cavalier” attitude towards her future as an actress, Emily Blunt, scored a Golden Globe almost straight out of the gate. She was recognised for her role in the TV movie Gideon’s Daughter in 2007, the same year she was also nominated for her scene-stealing part in The Devil Wears Prada. Her success started the ball rolling, with stand-out roles in films including The Adjustment Bureau (2011), Into the Woods (2014), The Girl on the Train (2016), Mary Poppins Returns (2018) and A Quiet Place (2018), co-starring and directed by her husband, John Krasinski, with whom she shares daughters Hazel, 9, and Violet, 7. Now, ahead of her 41st birthday on February 23, the British beauty has scored her first ever…

Kristen Stewart’s idea of a romantic evening with fiancée Dylan Meyer might not be for everyone. “The Shining is a perfect date night movie for me,”she tells WHO. “I love that movie. I love anything horror.” But her real idea of scary? Watching her own films. “It’s just horrible!” she says. “I’m always thinking about the millions of things I could have done more or different. The thought of watching myself on screen fills me with terror.” Even though she’s grown up in front of the camera, getting her big break opposite Jodie Foster in Panic Room aged 10, Stewart has long had a strained relationship with fame, especially after being catapulted to celebrity during the five years she spent starring on the Twilight franchise, making her and her co-star…

Creativity as a form of medicine is a movement happening in tiny ways all over the world, gaining momentum in clinic rooms, hospitals and community centres. In Scotland, GPs are starting to prescribe joining a choir to patients who are isolated and depressed. Apublic hospital in Taipei has established an art gallery program for dementia patients. The New York Society for Ethical Culture now hosts a virtual, global and free storytelling circle, which gathers people around the globe to escape into worlds with fairies, monsters and far-off places, and has been shown to reduce anxiety and isolation for its attendees. Creativity as medicine is not a new idea. First Nations people here in Australia have used dance for more than 60,000 years as a way to share cultural knowledge and…

DO ADD VITAMIN C If this key ingredient is already part of your skincare regime it’s time to extend it down your neck and chest area, too. Vitamin C, an antioxidant, helps brighten the complexion and even out skin tone. Best applied in a serum or night cream formula before you head to bed. Tip Always remember that Vitamin C can make the skin extra sensitive to the sun, so it’s best to avoid applying during the day and wash off in the morning before applying SPF. BEAUTY EDITOR FAVE! DO MOISTURISE DAILY A moisturised décolletage equals smooth and supple skin, so be just as thorough as you would on your face when moisturising there. Think twice a day application, and use rich, nourishing creams for a more youthful complexion.…

BIRTHDAY SURPRISE NEW YORK CITY Drew Barrymore got a ride on an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile as a treat from co-star Ross Matthews for her 49th birthday. WHAT A BALLER FLORIDA The rain might’ve postponed the race, but Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson stuck around to fulfil his duties as Grand Marshal at the NASCAR Cup Series Daytona 500. ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS LONDON It was all about florals for actress Joanna Lumley and model Erin O’Connor at the Burberry Winter 2024 show during London Fashion Week. MATCH MADE LOS ANGELES Barbie star Simu Liu was smitten with his new furry friend at a special screening and adoption event for his new film Arthur the King. SHE’S GOT THIS INDIANA It might not be the Super Bowl, but Jennifer Hudson was excited for her…

Australia’s first Amazon Original, Five Blind Dates perfectly captures the essence of Aussie cinema and dating Down Under. It also features a talented and diverse cast, which is exactly what co-creator and co-writer, Shuang Hu, set out to do. Oh, and she also plays the film’s lead. Five Blind Dates is a rom-com about Lia, a woman who chose career over love, and who is given an ultimatum by her mother to get married. It’s not too far-fetched, given Hu drew inspiration from her own life. Here, she chats to WHO. We have to start off by saying we love the cast diversity in Five Blind Dates. I knew this was going to be a chance for me to showcase my community. [We] don’t normally get this opportunity otherwise, and…

What was the last thing you learned about yourself? I’m way too old to skateboard. The kids at the skate park would probably agree. Last guilty pleasure you indulged in? Eating a pound of buffalo wings while watching the NFL. I like to be as unhealthy as possible and criticising elite athletes at the same time. Last time you lost your cool? Embarrassed to say it was on the pickleball court. In my defence, the ball was clearly in, and my friend is a huge cheater. What was the last meal you cooked? I’m a terrible cook. I tried making breakfast for my partner and I. When I cracked an egg, it splattered all over the boiling metal kettle next to the pan. The egg cooked on the side of…

Fresh from walking the red carpet in Mexico City for the premiere of her new action flick, Madame Web, Dakota Johnson turned the jaunt into a working holiday by bringing along her long-term love Chris Martin for a romantic break afterward. As soon as her official duties were done, the A-listers jetted off to Puerto Vallarta where they wasted no time in soaking up some sun. The actress, 34, and her Coldplay rocker beau, 46, walked hand-in-hand into the surf as they splashed about enjoying some quality time together. While the pair are famous for taking trips with Martin’s ex, Gwyneth Paltrow, and the children he shares with her, Apple, 19, and Moses, 17, this time it appeared to be just the two of them. Johnson and Martin were first…

It wasn’t just Rooney Mara’s gorgeous strapless black dress that drew all eyes to her as the actress made her way down the red carpet for the premiere of La Cocina at the Berlin Film Festival on February 16. As exquisite as the flowy Givenchy gown was, it was the obvious burgeoning bump beneath it that really stole the show. It will be the second child for the 38-year-old star and her long-term partner Joaquin Phoenix. The pair are parents to son River, born in 2020, who is named after Phoenix’s late actor brother. While neither Phoenix, 49, nor his fiancée have officially confirmed this new pregnancy, it is keeping with tradition, as they did not publicly discuss the arrival of their son ahead of his birth. Mara has, however,…

Amy Schumer has clapped back at trolls who criticised her “puffier” appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show. The 42-year-old was promoting the newest series of her show Life and Beth when she was attacked online – but true to Schumer’s comedic style, she dryly assured fans she was “OK”, and explained her battle with endometriosis was to blame. “Thank you so much for everyone’s input about my face,”she captioned an Instagram post. “I’ve enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance …and you’re right it is puffier than normal right now. I have endometriosis, an autoimmune disease …there are some medical and hormonal things going on in my world.” The I Feel Pretty actress and mother-of-one has been vocal about her struggles with the condition, revealing in a previous Instagram…

NOW ALL GROWN UP! Suri has literally grown up in front of our eyes, taking part in her first magazine shoot at just three and a half months of age. As she gets older, she seems increasingly comfortable in front of the camera, giving a hint she may follow in her famous parents footsteps yet. Strolling through the streets of Soho in New York City on February 13, Katie Holmes smiled as she chatted with her daughter, Suri Cruise. The teenager, rugged up in a shearling embroidered coat from Maje, will turn 18 on April 18, and Holmes has been open about the mixed emotions she feels as her daughter grows up. “Every day, kids get a little further away from you. That’s a positive thing. They should be becoming…

DWAYNE ‘THE ROCK’ JOHNSON and TANOAI REED There’s more than just an uncanny resemblance between The Rock and his longtime stunt double, the pair are actually distant cousins! “He is right there with me, shoulder to shoulder,” Johnson, who surprised Reed with a new truck back in 2018, has told the Hollywood Reporter. “Training just as hard, just as committed, just as disciplined.” MARK RUFFALO and ANTHONY MOLINARI It turns out even The Hulk needs a stunt double every once in a while! The 56-year-old had his doppelgänger Molinari – complete with the star’s scruffy beard – do all his dirty work while filming Now You See Me back in 2012. With explosive car chases and dangerous stunts, Molinari certainly had his work cut out for him! AWKWAFINAA and LEE…

One hundred kilometres off the shores of Western Australia and just days after a very close encounter with a great white shark, Bonnie Hancock knew exactly what she’d be doing when she returned home from her daring circumnavigation by paddle around Australia. “I knew we were heading into crocodile waters soon, so I was trying to prepare myself for that,” the 33-year-old recalls to WHO of the day.“And I turned to my crew and said, ‘I’m gonna write a book about this. I’ve got to.’I just remember thinking I could not make up these crazy happenings, you know?” In 2022, over 254 days, Bonnie journeyed 12,700 kilometres around the country solo in a surf ski, breaking records by becoming the fastest ever paddler, the first Australian woman and the youngest…

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of online shopping. From the time you add your items to cart to when the postman hands over the package, it feels like you’re receiving a gift from yourself (how thoughtful!). Yet, while online shopping might provide a hit of dopamine for some, it can cause a load of distress if you’re caught up in a scam. Below we’ve pulled together the biggest online shopping cons to remove from your cart. 1. FAKE E-SHOPS WHAT IS IT? We all love a good bargain, but if you spot a site spruiking a deal that’s too good to be true, cyber security expert for Avast, Stephen Kho, says it probably is. “Fake e-shops usually aim to exploit unsuspecting consumers for financial gain by offering ‘bargains’ that…

DOCO UNTOLD: THE RACE OF THE CENTURY I’m not much of asailing girl, but when my husband flicked on this doco about Australia’s 1983 America’s Cup win, Iwas hooked. The rivalry between the New York Yacht Club and the rest of the world was dirty, but in the end, our team smashed them. (Netflix) TV THE GILDED AGE S2 One of my fave period dramas is back – thankfully – because I still have a long wait for Bridgerton and an even longer wait for The Buccaneers. Bertha is still vying for acceptance from New York high society – but fear not, there’s an even more elite group that does want her friendship. (Paramount+) MOVIE KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON Leonardo DiCaprio can do no wrong – so why wasn’t…

Despite being one of the world’s most prolific romance novelists, who puts out several books a year, Tessa Bailey has no shortage of ideas for what she wants to write next. “I spent some time in Galway last year and I really just adored it – I’d love to do an American abroad kind of thing,” she told the Irish Daily Star. “And Edinburgh. I would love to set a book in Edinburgh. And Canada as well. Canada has such nice people that it would be ripe for a comedy.” Her latest offering, Fangirl Down, is set in a rather unexpected place – the world of golf. It is a sport which is probably known more for breaking couples up than bringing them together. “My publisher was like, ‘I don’t…

During a three-day trip to Canada to mark the official one-year countdown to the 2025 Invictus Games, Prince Harry took a moment to discuss the whirlwind half-hour reunion he had with his father following the King’s cancer diagnosis a week earlier. “I love my family,” Harry told Good Morning America. “The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go and see him, and spend any time with him, I’m grateful for that.” Following a few years where Harry hasn’t been afraid to dish all about his relationship with the Windsors or the secret inner workings of The Firm, he was unusually reserved this time around. When asked about his outlook on his dad’s diagnosis, Harry responded, “That stays between me and him.” But the 39-year-old prince…

With this year’s award season almost at an end and the coveted Oscars mere weeks away, stars certainly stepped things into high gear for the 77th British Academy Film and Television Arts Awards. The biggest names in the industry descended upon the Royal Festival Hall in London on February 18 for yet another glamorous and glitzy event. The style stakes were on another level, with feathered frocks, statement sleeves and sparkles all the rage on the red carpet. Harry Styles’ rumoured actress girlfriend Taylor Russell stunned in a racy, white cut-out gown, as did Lily Collins in an elegant black, velvet dress with statement sleeves. Meanwhile, Dua Lipa –who walked the red carpet solo but was later seen on the arm of new beau Callum Turner – looked incredible in…

Their relationship might be about to heat up on screens when their new film is released Down Under on February 29, but Timothée Chalamet has revealed that his connection with his Dune: Part Two co-star Zendaya was alive and well from “the [very] first chemistry read”. “Z makes it easy. She is so great to work with, so talented and so generous as a performer,” the 28-year-old tells WHO. “We’re both the same age so we have always kind of stuck together.” It’s seemingly been that way ever since the pair got to know each other while working on part one of the film franchise back in 2019. Though Zendaya recently divulged that their actual first encounter wasn’t exactly the best indication of the beautiful friendship they would go on…

Alicia Keys She stole the spotlight at this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show on February 11 when she belted out her hit ‘If I Ain’t Got You’, then joined Usher to sing their 2004 duet ‘My Boo’. While it was just the dose of nostalgia we needed, it also proved to the world that Alicia Keys is still that girl, and that girl is still ‘on fire’. But her journey to becoming the selfassured mother-of-two that we know today hasn’t always been smooth sailing. The singer, who made headlines in 2016 when she announced she’d quit wearing makeup, has opened up about the challenges she faced as a young woman in the public eye. “It was like an alien universe,” Keys told People of the superstardom she had achieved at…

It’s been two decades since Scott Peterson was sentenced to death for the murder of his pregnant wife in ahigh-profile trial that captured attention around the globe. But after continuing to profess his innocence, the convicted killer has now teamed up with the Los Angeles Innocence Project in abid to clear his name. In court filings, the non-profit organisation –which seeks to exonerate those who have been wrongfully convicted –noted that they were taking up Peterson’s representation and argued that new evidence supports his “claim of actual innocence” and “raises many questions into who abducted and killed Laci and Conner Peterson”. Laci was eight months pregnant, with a son she and Peterson had already named, when she went missing from their home in Modesto, California on Christmas Eve in…

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 People really are for a reason, a season or a lifetime. It’s time to get used to the idea that you need to go through your friends lists and see who deserves their place there and who doesn’t. That might sound super harsh but with burn-it-down Pluto in your Friendship Zone for a long stay, it’s either that or get burned. Cull as needed! CANCER JUN. 21–JUL. 21 It’s a good feeling to know the worst is over. The pressure is now off your love life again – any relationships which are still standing must be very strong!

EXPLOSIVE ROLE When the producer is Jed Mercurio, who has a reputation for killing off characters – even the main ones – Ovenden says it can make you feel a little insecure. “As an actor, you’re never quite sure how long you’re going to last,” he admits. His father was Queen Elizabeth II’s chaplain, he’s shared mince pies at Christmas with the royal family, drank G&Ts with the late Queen Mother, starred in hit West End musicals and landed lead roles in some of the biggest TV shows and movies. Yes, it’s fair to say, Julian Ovenden, 47, leads an extraordinarily rich life. “No two days are ever the same,” he tells WHO of his varied career. And he wouldn’t have it any other way. “I get bored quickly,” he…

Will The Walking Dead’s Rick Grimes (Lincoln) and Michonne (Gurira) finally have their happily ever after? There are plenty of zombies and fight-tothe-death scenes in this spin-off, but there’s more to it than just edge-of-your-seat action. “It’s an epic love story,” series co-creator Scott M. Gimple said. “But it’s a survival story too …would Rick Grimes have survived coming out of the hospital if he didn’t have a wife and a kid? I’m not sure he would have. What drove him was his love.” (Premieres Mon., Feb. 26 on Stan)…
