Rupert Grint is excited to play Ron Weasley as a dad on Broadway. “It’s probably my last time,” he told me. We also talked “Ebenezer” and the viral theory that Hogwarts was a Catholic school. (He gave that last one some real thought.) yahoo.com/entertainment/movi…

Ethan Hawke and Tommy Lee Jones have thoughts on Hollywood reboots. Hawke brought up Shakespeare. Jones had fewer (yet iconic) words when I asked if he’s eager to watch Sebastian Stan’s take on Harvey Dent. My chat with the “The Lowdown” stars: yahoo.com/entertainment/cele…

Margaret Qualley’s new movie “Love of Your Life” looks beyond happily ever after. “Self-forgiveness … is such a big part of her story, and that I relate to,” she tells me. Below, we talk about loving your own life and letting go of expectations. yahoo.com/entertainment/movi…

Writing up my interview with Margaret Qualley for her new movie “Love of Your Life” and yes, I asked for her honest take on wearing those Chanel barefoot shoes. Her verdict: “I’ll take a barefoot shoe over heels any day.” As someone who suffers through heels, I respect the reasoning.

Luke Grimes never thought he’d be back on network TV after “Brothers & Sisters.” Now he leads CBS’s No. 1 show. We talked “Marshals,” trading L.A. for the mountains and what Bradley Cooper taught him about leading a set. yahoo.com/entertainment/tv/a…

I asked Ben Affleck if he’s accomplished what his younger self hoped for during his blockbuster days. His answer: a defense of Timothée Chalamet, a few notes on “Pearl Harbor” and zero interest in aspiring to mediocrity. Our “Animals” chat: yahoo.com/entertainment/movi…
