God, his poor parents. By all accounts, they were a very close family and he was their only child. His parents were famous enough as athletes that it was newsworthy when they chose to get refugee status in the US when he was a baby and he was their stated reason.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
About a year or so ago, we were heading up the escalator to a local movie theater with our friends and we hear "Hey! Andy! Hi!" It was Anton and his parents who had just seen whatever movie we were on our way to. He was so unaffectedly delighted to see Andy (Propmaster on the Star Trek Movies), solicitous of his parents and so nice to the DH and I that it was a pleasure meeting him. Lots of actors of his stature would not even remember the prop guy's name, let alone greet him so happily. Just in that short interaction, you could tell he was a total good guy. Such a shame.

I'm watching Elizabeth: the Golden Age, with Cate Blanchett. I'm only partway in, but I want every bit of jewelry Elizabeth has worn thus far.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
So, the commercial for "Bad Moms" makes it look horrible, but I really like all 3 of the lead actresses. Quandary.

I saw a WONDERFUL movies this weekend-- Hunt for the Wilderpeople. It's charming and unsentimental and quirky in the way that NZ and Australian movies can be. Sam Neill is amazing in it. If it comes near you--go see it. I promise you will not be sorry. [link]

I saw Now You See Me 2 this past weekend. The plot doesn't bear close examination, but it's still a lot of fun.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's by Taika Waititi, who also did What We Do in the Shadows. Apparently it had the highest grossing opening weekend in NZ for a New Zealand film. (The Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Hobbit aren't classified as NZ films for this purpose.)
