17 Full Circle Moments In Hollywood

When Barry Keoghan was a kid, a box office worker caught him trying to sneak into a movie theater in Dublin and kicked him out. Years later, Barry was finally allowed back into the theater for the Irish premiere of his movie Eternals — and the box office worker, who's now a reporter, interviewed him.

Speaking to Rory for a JOE interview, Barry said, "I wasn't going to say anything, but going through Cineworld last night, I remembered going there with your cousin Gary, being like 'Are you gonna let us in? This is your cousin and all!' and you were just like 'Nope, not getting in!' I was such a... pardon my French... but such a shithead back then. I used to try to bunk in and [you] would catch me. But it was nice to have the premiere there last night and be allowed in! The irony!"

In her SAG Awards acceptance speech, she said, "I'm telling this story now because it reminds me of how powerful our mind is and that we are what our thoughts create. So I just wanna tell everyone who might be struggling at home, to all the actors that I get to meet, keep going. You're one job away. I look forward to working with you. I'll see you on set. I love you.'"

In an Instagram tribute to Chadwick, she said, "It was meant to be for Chadwick and me to be connected, for us to be family."

At the Wearable Art Gallery, Lupita introduced Angela and thanked her for FOLKS and its impact on generations of students.

Winston told Esquire, "We would always tell ourselves that they're going to do it someday, but we could never tell who. At that point there was already the Blade films, but we really didn't know how Marvel would go about doing their first African superhero."

Sharing the story on TikTok, she said, "Manifest your life, baby!"

He also played a Taco Bell employee in his "Sun Goes Down" music video.

She told Vanity Fair, "I got me a motel room, and he told me to write out a list of goals and start doing something every day toward those goals. ... I wrote, 'Get myself an apartment. Do these things, all these people I wanna work with, everything.' I pretty much tackled almost all those goals."

Billie told Lana, "I remember showing everybody [the lock screen]. I grew up homeschooled, but we still had…talent shows even though we didn’t have a school. I was all up in the talent show singing your stuff."

On Conan, she said, "You are my comedy hero. I couldn't believe how starstruck I was working there. It's so cool. ... My dream was like, 'One day, could I ever be a guest on Conan?' That seemed too crazy to think about."

Gayle told Entertainment Tonight, "My best friend and I went to [a Nashville] awards show, and Taylor Swift happened to be there, and I did a performance and some very cool things happened after that. She was just like, 'You did a great performance, I'm gonna call you.' Now I'm here, and I can't believe it. I feel like I'm lying. I feel like this is a dream."

He told the Hollywood Reporter, "They told me they had one name on the list to do the song, and it was me. It feels kismet, and it's a full-circle moment for me to be a part of something like this, because it is such an important film for me."

His song, "Nothing Is Lost (You Give Me Strength)," is nominated for an Oscar.

She told The View, "[Production] tried to make me live with my parents, and my parents still have curfew for me. So I was like, 'No ma'am. I already moved out.'"

On stage, he said, "We are making history tonight, the first-ever global stream on Disney+. And hello Dodger Stadium!"

In his SNL monologue, he said, "It's important to encourage kids to be weirdos, because every once in a while, one of those weirdos grows up to host SNL."

She told Entertainment Tonight, "This was my favorite hoodie in high school, and I still have it today, so I thought, 'OK, I gotta wear it.'"

The song "Not. Going. Anywhere." had a particularly special inspiration.

She told Apple Music's Zane Lowe, "That's how he would sign his emails when we started talking again. Like, 'Don’t worry, I'm not going anywhere. Now, we know, and there's no questions. It's me and you, all the way, 'til the end.'"
