Jeremy Allen White says he's learnt to ‘shut the f up’ after comment on Euphoria star's lingerie shoot
Jeremy Allen White says he’s learnt to keep his thoughts to himself after a single-word comment he made went viral. The Shameless star, 32, confessed he was bowled over by the reaction from fans after he offered his take on a Calvin Klein lingerie shoot starring Euphoria actress Alexa Demie. Back in August, photographers Inez and Vinoodh uploaded the video campaign to Instagram, prompting White to write simply: “Wow”. Fans swiftly seized on his assessment, which racked up more than 3,140 likes and 105 comments. “Horny on main, chef,” wrote one joker, in a nod to White’s iconic role in The Bear. “Chef, join the line,” added another. “Sir, get a burner account PLEASE,” said a third. Meanwhile, others shared their hopes that the two silver screen favourites would get together, with one writing: “Please god let this happen. The 32-year-old addressed the debacle in an interview with GQ, published on Tuesday. He admitted he quickly called his publicist about the viral response to his remark and told her: “I just need to shut the f**k up. I just shouldn’t say anything.” “And she was like, ‘Kind of’,” he recalled. Still, the award-winning actor insisted that his “wow” was not intended as a public come-on to Demie. Rather, he was innocently expressing admiration for the work of Inez and Vinoodh. Besides, White – a newly-divorced father-of-two – clearly shuns the image of ladies’ man or heartthrob. Indeed, in February, he took his mum as his date to the SAG awards, where he won in the category of Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series. He also spent months hanging out with the co-stars of his latest film, The Iron Claw, enjoying some almost comically masculine activities. White, Zach Efron and Harris Dickinson play brothers in the biopic about a family of wrestlers in the 1980s. The trio had to beef up considerably for the film, and spent nearly all of their time in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, doing one of two activities: eating and working out, according to GQ. “Jeremy is the f**king man,” Efron told White’s interviewer Cam Wolf in an email. “His presence is electric on and off camera. He motivated me to take the role as seriously as possible; we pushed each other to be better both on and off set.” Perhaps people should learn not to take every comment White makes so seriously, though.

John Stones injury leaves Manchester City ‘in trouble’, says Pep Guardiola
Pep Guardiola has claimed Manchester City could be “in trouble” following John Stones’ latest injury setback. The treble winners are awaiting assessments of the England defender after he was forced off with a knock in Tuesday’s 3-0 Champions League stroll against Young Boys. Stones only returned to action in October after a two-month lay-off with hamstring and hip problems. Manager Guardiola said he feared the 29-year-old could be out “for a while” with the muscular problem and described the blow as “deep bad news”. Stones has been revelatory for City playing in a hybrid defence-midfield role and Guardiola feels he complements central anchor Rodri perfectly. Much was made of the fact Rodri was suspended when City lost three successive games earlier in the campaign, but Guardiola believes the absence of Stones was equally crucial. He said: “The problem is we play John and Rodri at the same time – now we are in trouble, because we have to play a bit differently, like happened in Arsenal. “We do not feel comfortable still, we are not prepared to change many variations.” City hardly broke sweat as they brushed past the Swiss champions to secure their place in the last 16 for an 11th consecutive year. The holders have won all four of their matches in Group G and are through with two matches to spare. Erling Haaland made light of the ankle problem that curtailed him against Bournemouth last weekend to open the scoring with a penalty and added the third goal with a powerful long-range strike. It was yet another dominant performance from the Norway striker, who has now scored 39 goals in 34 career Champions League appearances and 15 in all competitions this season. Opposition captain Mohamed Ali Camara even asked to swap shirts with the 23-year-old at half-time, something which drew criticism in some quarters. “I’m a little bit surprised about that right now,” admitted Young Boys coach Raphael Wicky, whose side failed to muster a single shot and had midfielder Sandro Lauper sent off in the second half. “I’ll probably have a word with him.” None of this worried Guardiola, whose side looked comfortable with Phil Foden also on the scoresheet. “It’s not normal, but I don’t know the reason why it happened,” he said. “It’s not a big subject for me right now.” City’s remaining task in the group will be to secure top spot, and a theoretically favourable draw, in the first knockout round. They face second-placed RB Leipzig at home later this month before wrapping up the stage at Red Star Belgrade. Midfielder Matheus Nunes said: “We cannot look at those two games as spare because we want to get through as first place, and that’s what we will try to do now. “We will focus on Chelsea now, but when those games come we will be ready because we want to win both of them.” Read More Kevin Sinfield to run seven ultramarathons in support of Rob Burrow Never-say-die attitude gives Newcastle Champions League belief – Kieran Trippier On this day in 2004: Jason Robinson named as England’s first black captain Eddie Howe knows Newcastle need two wins to keep Champions League hopes alive Jacob Neestrup: Parken atmosphere is 100 times more intense than Old Trafford FA asks Mikel Arteta and Arsenal for observations after referee comments
