Dinner and a movie... they just go together naturally. But as one gains maturity, there comes the realization that there are better restaurants than McDonald's and better films than *Minions*. (For many of us, this comes around age 40.)

Luckily, access to quality movies abound in the age of streaming. We here at * *would like to light the stove of that inspiration with a collection of films that focus on great culinary achievement. As such, here are 10 chef movies to get you fired up in the kitchen.

Babette's Feast (1987)

Winner of the Academy Award for what was then called Best Foreign Language Film, this Danish movie, based on an Isak Dinesen story, is set in a 19th century village populated by uptight religious people. A French refugee has spent years making unfussy meals for a pair of sisters. After winning a lottery, she begs the town to let her throw a luxurious feast.

Despite worries that such opulence is sinful, the sisters allow it. What follows is a seven-course act of generosity and openness that transforms the town. Vegans will not love the part involving foie gras, but hopefully they'll see the wider picture.

Big Night (1996)

Stanley Tucci's onscreen love affair with Italian cooking started here in this marvelous low-budget passion project that he co-wrote and co-directed. He stars as a 1950s restaurant manager working with his older brother (Tony Shalhoub), a brilliant and uncompromising chef betting it all on an elegant Italian *ristorante*. He meets requests for simple plates of spaghetti with scorn.

Their only chance for survival is word-of-mouth from a celebrity, and soon there are rumors that Louis Prima will be in the area. They prepare an enormous, free evening of gorgeous food… and then the unexpected happens. *Big Night *was a sensation, and introduced most audiences to the *timpano*, an elaborate baked pasta dish that needs to be seen to be believed.

Where to watch *Big Night*: Amazon Prime (to rent)

10 Movie-Inspired Feasts

Boiling Point (2021)

This 90-minute thriller was all shot in one take, which is as difficult as searing a tuna from just one match. The film stars Stephen Graham as a head chef on an overbooked night, dealing with the typical headaches of running a high end restaurant *and *an unexpected visit from a health inspector. (Both the stakes and the steaks are raised, har har har.)

The funniest parts involve a table of obnoxious influencers who have picked the wrong night to be a nuisance. Not so funny is a diner's very dangerous allergic reaction.

Chef (2014)

Starring and directed by Jon Favreau, this is a great, life-affirming story about a talented chef abandoning the world of snobby restaurants to open a food truck. After a very funny social media meltdown, and subsequent firing by his boss (Dustin Hoffman), Carl (Favreau) discovers a love of Cuban cooking and embraces a more populist style.

This all leads to a showdown with the food critic who initiated his "downfall." Do not watch this while hungry, as you will require a Cubano sandwich immediately.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011)

Though I, the author of this list, don't really understand enthusiasm for sushi (it's an adequate delivery system for protein, but not a food I crave), I recognize that for many it's a way of life. It certainly is for Jiro Ono, a sushi chef whose restaurant is considered the finest in the world, even though it's tucked away in a subway station.

While watching this delightful and beautiful film, one is easily convinced that even simple items like a bowl of steamed rice can become fine art in the right hands. There's a level of craft and dedication here normally found at, say, NASA, not restaurants. It's one of the most extraordinary looks at a place of business ever recorded.

Where to watch *Jiro Dreams of Sushi*: Amazon Prime

Menus-Plaisirs – Les Troisgros (2023)

Two chefs at Le Bois sans feuilles, featured in Frederick Wiseman's 'Menus-Plaisirs - Les Troisgros'.

The four-hour French documentary *Menus-Plaisirs – Les Troisgros *is an expansive, rich repast of a film that luxuriates in conversational ease and exploration. It examines of one of France's most beloved restaurants soaks up every contour of the enterprise, from picking out wines and cheeses, to handling reservations, to crafting each night's menu.

There's no plot other than "this is how it's done," but it concludes with a celebration of all that makes life worth living. This was the final, perfect film for director Frederick Wiseman, who was already past 90.

Where to watch *Menus-Plaisirs – Les Troisgros*: Weta+

Nonnas (2025)

Susan Sarandon, Brenda Vaccaro, Lorraine Bracco, and Talia Shire redefine home cooking in 'Nonnas'.

Jeong Park/Netflix

Nobody ever cooked as well as your grandmother, even if all she did was pour you a bowl of Rice Krispies. This heartwarming, somewhat-based-on-a-true-story tale centers on Vince Vaughn risking his life savings to open a restaurant that recaptures the special bond between old Italian women and food.

Featuring Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire, Susan Sarandon, and Brenda Vaccaro flinging tomatoes at each other in the kitchen before learning to work together, *Nonnas *is a very agreeable, very New York movie that will leave you craving a nice Sunday gravy.

Where to watch *Nonnas*: Netflix

Pig (2021)

Certainly the weirdest movie on this list, the Nicolas Cage-led *Pig *plays like a violent revenge thriller… until it doesn't. It's about a (former) high-end chef, now a hermit, whose prized truffle pig is stolen. He descends from the mountains looking for his lil oinking buddy, suddenly a man possessed by one single purpose.

The unexpected tonal shift between his reclusive serenity and *haute cuisine *is just one of the satisfying twists in Michael Sarnoski's low-budget gem. The movie also works as a declaration of higher values like authenticity and honesty — something you may not expect at first when watching Nic Cage screaming about a pig.

Where to watch *Pig*: Netflix

Ratatouille (2007)

Remy the Rat picks out his herbs and spices in 'Ratatouille'. Pixar/Disney

Ayyy, good ol' Remy the Rat! When was the last time you saw this? Maybe it's been a while. He hides under the chef's hat and pulls on the guy's hair and "drives him" in the kitchen. Cute! Then there's the scene with the mean critic who is thunderstruck with a Proustian rush of flavors. Very meaningful. The opening song, "Le Festin," is very good, too.

But rats don't belong in a kitchen. Yes yes, we know this is a kiddie movie, but we need to firmly establish the difference between art and reality. This is just pretend!

Where to watch *Ratatouille*: Disney+

Tampopo (1985)

One of the all-time great zany films, *Tampopo *is about a widow struggling to run a ramen shop, who teams up with a truck driver to help turn the place around. Their training sessions are shot like a martial arts film, and the movie is eager to take as many tangents as possible when introducing the characters. (One might say all these ingredients blend together to make a delectable broth!)

This was a surprise international hit at the time, when off-the-wall Japanese entertainment didn't regularly break through in the West. Many famous chefs point to this film as being their first exposure to lavish cuisine cinema.

Where to watch *Tampopo*: HBO Max

Audiences had the time of their lives watching *Dirty Dancing* in 1987.

Emile Ardolino's kinetic classic tells the story of an earnest daddy's girl (Jennifer Grey) who falls for a macho dance instructor (Patrick Swayze) at the Kellerman's resort in the Catskills.

The chemistry between Grey and Swayze turned the romantic dance drama into a worldwide phenomenon. Along with its killer soundtrack selling more than 32 million units, the film earned $214 million at the global box office and became the first movie to sell over one million copies on home video.

Despite two attempts to recapture the magic with a 2004 prequel and a 2017 TV remake, no one has successfully duplicated the feeling of that first triumphant lift. But perhaps that will change with Lionsgate's in-development sequel, which will hopefully see Grey reprising her role as Frances "Baby" Houseman.

"The role of Baby has held a very deep and meaningful place in my heart, as it has in the hearts of so many fans over the years," said Grey, who will also serve as an executive producer, in a January 2026 statement. "I've long wondered where we might find Baby years later and what her life might be like, but it's taken time to assemble the kind of people that I felt could be entrusted to build on the legacy of the original film... and I'm excited to say that it looks like the wait will soon be over!"

As we wait to see how the project shakes out, let's take a look at where the original *Dirty Dancing* cast is now.

Before she played the shy, watermelon-carrying teenager who transforms into a confident dancer, Jennifer Grey began performing thanks to her pedigree as the daughter of Broadway star Joel Grey (who won a Tony and an Oscar for his stage and screen work in *Cabaret*).

After appearing in films like *Red Dawn* (1984) and *Ferris Bueller's Day Off* (1986), Grey took on the role of Frances "Baby" Houseman, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress.

Grey spoke with ** in 2022 about why her iconic watermelon line strikes a chord with viewers. "I think that the specificity of the feeling of intense shame… That feeling, that human feeling, is so universal," she said. "The idea of just wanting to look good and just feeling like, 'Oh, now I've done it. Now he'll see I'm worse than he thought. I'm like a freaking idiot.'"

Grey struggled to find continued success in Hollywood, in part due to a rhinoplasty that made her almost unrecognizable. In the '90s, she appeared on the first season of *Friends* as Rachel's (Jennifer Aniston) former BFF Mindy, but undiagnosed anxiety led her to pass on an offer to return.

Returning to the world of dance in 2010, Grey won the Mirror Ball trophy in season 11 of ABC's *Dancing With the Stars*.

In 2022, she released a memoir, *Out of the Corner*, in which she dished on her plastic surgery and, of course, the film that put her on the map.

The actress has enjoyed a career resurgence in recent years, with a leading role on Prime Video's *Red Oaks *giving way to turns in Lifetime's *Gwen Shamblin: Starving for Salvation* (2023) and the Oscar-winning *A Real Pain* (2024).

Grey was married to Marvel star Clark Gregg for 20 years until their divorce in 2021. They share a daughter, Stella, whom the actress told EW did not enjoy watching her mother dirty dance with another man.

Patrick Swayze (Johnny Castle)

Patrick Swayze did his own "kind of dancing" as rebellious lover boy Johnny Castle. Prior to his *Dirty Dancing* role, the actor played Danny Zuko in *Grease *on Broadway and another greaser in *The Outsiders *(1983) alongside future stars like Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, and Ralph Macchio.

A singer, Swayze recorded the ballad "She's Like the Wind" for the *Dirty Dancing *soundtrack. The song reached No. 3 on the *Billboard* Hot 100. Speaking with PEOPLE, he said it's about "a man [who] is in love with a woman and he knows he's not good enough." He continued, "That's kind of how Johnny felt with Baby: *She so outclasses me, how dare [I think] she might love me?* I think I accidentally keyed into something that so many guys feel."

John Leguizamo says he made up with Patrick Swayze over 'To Wong Foo' feud

After *Dirty Dancing*, Swayze continued on a hot streak with films like *Road House *(1989)*, Point Break* (1991), and *Ghost* (1990), which brought him his second Golden Globe nomination.

He would receive a third nom in 1996 for the drag comedy *To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything!, Julie Newmar. *Although his box office heat cooled down by the late '90s, the actor continued to appear in projects like *Donnie Darko *(2001)* *and even made a small appearance as a dance instructor in the less-beloved *Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights*.

In 2007, while filming the pilot for the A&E series *The Beast*, Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He died in 2009, and is survived by his wife of 34 years, Lisa Niemi.

The couple co-wrote the memoir *The Time of My Life*, which was published posthumously in 2010. In 2019, Niemi participated in the documentary that chronicled the star's life and career, *I Am Patrick Swayze*.

Jerry Orbach (Jake Houseman)

Ahead of playing Baby's disapproving father, Dr. Jake Houseman, Tony-winning actor Jerry Orbach was already a fixture on Broadway, originating the role of Billy Flynn in the musical *Chicago*.

By the time *Dirty Dancing *premiered in 1987, viewers outside New York were most familiar with his recurring stint as private eye Harry McGraw on *Murder, She Wrote, *as well as the crime thrillers *Prince of the City* (1981) and *F/X *(1986).

The star received more than just a career boost from the 1987 blockbuster. Orbach was also given profit participation as part of his deal, which turned out to be a bigger payday than anyone expected. He told EW in 1991, "Nobody knew how big that movie was going to be, or they wouldn't have given us a little piece of it."

Post–*Dirty Dancing*, Orbach further endeared himself to generations of TV and film fans with his long-running portrayal of Det. Lennie Briscoe on *Law & Order* — and for giving voice to the hospitality-minded candlestick Lumière in Disney's *Beauty and the Beast* (1991). He played the two characters across several spinoff shows and direct-to-video sequels, and continued to appear on *Murder, She Wrote* until 1991.

The actor was married to Marta Curro from 1958 to 1979, with whom he had two sons. In 1979, he tied the knot with actress Elaine Cancilla. Following a private 10-year struggle with prostate cancer, the actor died at age 69 in December 2004. He delivered his final onscreen performance posthumously in *Law & Order: Trial by Jury* in 2005.

Kelly Bishop (Marjorie Houseman)

Baby's mother, Marjorie, is played by Broadway vet Kelly Bishop.

However, Bishop was originally cast in the role of seductress Vivian Pressman before being recast on location. She told Canada's *National Post*, "What was good about the role was that I'd always played the other woman, that character I was cast for originally, and this changed me into more of a mom, which broadened my outlook a little bit… Although I have to admit I found being a nice mom not nearly as much fun as being a bad girl."

Bishop went on to play sharp-tongued matriarch Emily Gilmore for seven seasons on *Gilmore Girls*. She returned for the Netflix limited series *Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life *in 2016. In fact, her most frequent collaborations over the last few decades have been with *Gilmore *creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, with whom she reteamed for *Bunheads*, *The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel*, and *Étoile*.

Most recently, Bishop joined the ensemble of Apple TV's hit series *Shrinking*.

Bishop was married to TV personality Lee Leonard for nearly 40 years until his death in 2018.**

Cynthia Rhodes (Penny Johnson)

Cynthia Rhodes was no stranger to hoofing it on screen prior to *Dirty Dancing — *thanks to supporting roles in *Xanadu* (1980),* Staying Alive *(1983), *Flashdance *(1983), and *Runaway *(1984).* *

Before *Dirty Dancing*, she worked with the film's choreographer, Kenny Ortega, in a long-form video for the band the Tubes before taking on the role of Johnny's original dance partner, Penny Johnson, whose botched abortion sets the plot in motion.

In 1989, Rhodes described the grueling process of preparing for the movie's dance sequences. "We started rehearsals about two weeks before we started the film and we rehearsed every day for about 10 hours a day to make it look, like, that Patrick and I had been dancing together all of our lives… it was really hard… and that's why I keep saying I'm never going to dance again."

Post–*Dirty Dancing*, Rhodes focused on music, taking over as lead singer for the group Animotion's third album. However, the band broke up soon after, and Rhodes went on to star in only one more film, 1991's *Curse of the Crystal Eye,* before retiring from show business to focus on raising her children.

Rhodes was married to singer Richard Marx for 25 years. The couple divorced in 2014, and they have three children together: sons Lucas, Jesse, and Brandon.**

Jane Brucker (Lisa Houseman)

Vestron Pictures

Lisa, Baby's self-centered sister who warbles off-key during the Kellerman's talent show, is played by Jane Brucker. The actress made her film debut in *Dirty Dancing*, where she not only shimmied her way through the performance of "Hula Hana," but also co-wrote the song on set with Ortega.

She told EW, "I wrote the story of the spoiled brat on an island, just during breaks.… [At some point] Kenny said, "Put 'wacka wacka' in it." I thought you couldn't put "wacka" in the song because it sounded like "whack off." I thought he was nuts.… But then I thought, "Wait a minute, the movie's called *Dirty Dancing*. Maybe I'm just square."

After hanging up her grass skirt, Brucker reunited with Grey in 1989's ensemble comedy *Bloodhounds of Broadway* (1989). She also appeared in the films *Stealing Home* (1988) and *Dishdogz* (2005).

While she initially didn't fight for songwriting credit out of fear of making waves, she later pursued publishing rights for "Hula Hana" and found the statute of limitations had passed. But when a stage musical was launched and featured the song, the actress, along with Ortega, was able to retroactively receive the credit she deserved.

In 2022, she (sort of) returned to the world of *Dirty Dancing *as a guest judge on the short-lived Fox reality competition series, *The Real Dirty Dancing*.

Brucker was married to actor Brian O'Connor until 1993. She then married photographer Raul Vega in 2001. She has one daughter from each marriage.

Jack Weston (Max Kellerman)

Jack Weston played the conservative Max Kellerman, the owner of the resort where everyone had the time of their lives.

By the time cameras rolled on *Dirty Dancing, *Weston had been acting professionally since the 1950s and had accumulated more than 100 credits. His most well-known films include *Wait Until Dark* (1967), *The Thomas Crown Affair* (1968), and *Cactus Flower *(1969). In 1976, he was nominated for a Golden Globe for *The Ritz*, and he received a Tony nomination in 1981 for his work in the Woody Allen play *The Floating Light Bulb.*

After the Housemans left Kellerman's, Weston only appeared on screen one more time in the 1988 comedy *Short Circuit 2. *He returned to the stage in 1991 for a one-night production of *The Odd Couple *on Broadway before exiting the spotlight.

His first marriage was to actress Marge Redmond of *The Flying Nun *fame. After they divorced, he married Laurie Gilkes, with whom he had one child. He died from lymphoma in 1996.

Wayne Knight (Stan)

Kellerman's would-be comedian and resort announcer is played by character actor Wayne Knight.

The actor is best known for playing the sleazy Dennis Nedry in *Jurassic Park* (1993) and the calculating Newman on *Seinfeld*. He chased *Seinfeld* with another long-running role on *3rd Rock From the Sun*, and now boasts a résumé with more than 120 credits and counting — including *Space Jam* (1996), *Rat Race *(2001), and a slew of animated projects.

Recently, Knight appeared in *Five Nights at Freddy's 2* (2025) and *Goat* (2026), as well as on episodes of *9-1-1: Lone Star *and *St. Denis Medical.*

He was married to make-up artist Paula Sutor from 1996 to 2003. He and his second wife, Clare de Chenu, have been married since 2006 and have a son named Liam.**

Lonny Price (Neil Kellerman)

Before playing Neil Kellerman — Baby's entitled would-be paramour who "wouldn't know a new idea if it hit him in the Pachanga" — Lonny Price worked steadily in theater, including as part of the 1981 original Broadway cast of Stephen Sondheim's *Merrily We Roll Along*.

Following *Dirty Dancing*, he guested on several TV series before stepping behind the camera. As a director, Price worked on shows such as *Desperate Housewives* and *Great Performances*. He also brought his talents back to theater and won two Emmys for directing the broadcasts of *PBS Great Performances: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street *and *Sondheim! The Birthday Concert.*

He directed Glenn Close in the 2017 Broadway revival of *Sunset Boulevard*, and continues working both on and off-Broadway to this day.

Max Cantor (Robbie Gould)

Max Cantor played Robbie, the philandering, Ayn Rand-espousing waiter who abandons the pregnant Penny.

The actor had a short-lived career, consisting of only five roles, of which *Dirty Dancing *was the most successful. Cantor also appeared in the 1983 TV pilot version of the movie *Diner *and an episode of the series *Leg Work* in 1987.

His final performance was in Todd Solondz's debut feature, the 1989 film *Fear, Anxiety & Depression. *In addition to being a performer, he was also a journalist who wrote for publications like *The Village Voice*.

Cantor died of a heroin overdose in 1991 at the age of 32.**

Neal Jones (Billy Kostecki)

Neal Jones as Billy Kostecki.

Vestron Pictures

Neal Jones made his film debut in *Dirty Dancing*, playing dancer Billy Kostecki, Johnny's cousin who hands Baby the infamous watermelon. Before swaying and grinding to Otis Redding's "Love Man" after hours, the Kansas-born performer honed his skills in New York productions like *Macbeth* and the Tony-winning musical *Big River.*

"I'd never been on a film set, so it was all really bright lights to me," he said in a 2008 interview. "I was just trying to stay afloat because… the difference between theater and film and television is a wide gorge."

Post–*Dirty Dancing*, Jones crossed paths with Orbach in two more projects — the Al Pacino-starring film *Chinese Coffee *(2000)* *and four episodes of *Law & Order*. He also worked with Pacino and Keanu Reeves in the supernatural legal thriller *The Devil's Advocate* (1997), and received acclaim for his work on the HBO miniseries *Generation Kill*.

Jones also has credits in the films* Glengarry Glen Ross* (1992) and *In America* (2002). His last credited role was for a short in 2011, and he appears to have stepped away from Hollywood.

Miranda Garrison (Vivian Pressman)

Vestron Pictures

Miranda Garrison slinks her way around Kellerman's as Johnny's seductive sugar mama Vivian. She also served as the assistant choreographer.

In a 2008 interview, she spoke about the experience of choreographing the film's iconic lift. "Kenny Ortega, myself, and most likely Patrick Swayze presented many 'lifts' to the director Emile Ardolino and writer Elinor Bergstein," she said. "Emile and Elinor wanted a through-line metaphor for the ultimate triumph of both Baby and Johnny. Once this lift was found we all knew its narrative power."

In the years since* Dirty Dancing*, she has primarily played dancers in movies like *Salsa *(1988)*, The Forbidden Dance *(1990)*, *and *Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights*.

The bulk of her work in Hollywood has been as the lead choreographer on several productions, including *Evita* (1996) with Madonna and *Selena *(1997) with Jennifer Lopez.

She also served as a judge for two seasons on the U.K. reality competition *Dirty Dancing: The Time of Your Life. ***

The former Prince Andrew has been seen publicly for the first time in weeks following his arrest

Andrew was arrested on his 66th birthday on Feb. 19

He was photographed on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk this weekend, walking his dogs alongside a bodyguard

The former Prince Andrew has been seen publicly for the first time in weeks following his February arrest.

Andrew, 66, was photographed on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk on Saturday, March 21. The former Duke of York was seen walking his dogs alongside a bodyguard.

The outing marks the first time that Andrew has been spotted in public in weeks, following his arrest on Feb. 19 — his 66th birthday — in relation to a police investigation surrounding a claim that he shared confidential information in his previous role as a U.K. trade envoy with disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew was released under investigation later that same day. When he left the Aylsham Police Station in Norfolk, after spending approximately 11 hours in custody, he was photographed in the backseat of a vehicle. (The image has since gone viral.)

Andrew stepped back from his public royal role in 2019 following a headline-making BBC interview, in which he discussed his relationship with Epstein, who died by suicide that same year at age 66. The financier was awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges at the time of his death.

The former Duke of York has been connected to Virginia Giuffre, an outspoken Epstein victim who has alleged that she was made to have sex with Andrew when she was just 17 years old. Giuffre died by suicide at age 44 in 2025.

Queen Elizabeth stripped her son of his military titles and patronages in January 2022, after a judge rejected his attempt to have Giuffre's sexual assault lawsuit against him dismissed. He eventually settled with Giuffre out of court for an undisclosed sum.

After Giuffre's posthumous book, Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, was released last year, scrutiny of Andrew intensified, and he gave up the use of his royal titles, as well as other titles and honors. Andrew, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, was then stripped of his royal titles days later by King Charles.

The whereabouts surrounding Andrew's ex, Sarah Ferguson, are currently unknown. Ferguson, 66 — who has her own ties to Epstein — has not been seen in public since December 2025.

As of late January, PEOPLE understood that the former Duchess of York planned to spend time overseas as she planned her next moves, and she has reportedly spent time at wellness centers in Switzerland and Ireland in recent months.

The former couple's two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, are not full-time working royals and pursue private careers. They retain homes at royal palaces in London.

A family friend of Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35, told PEOPLE in a recent cover story that the sisters are hanging on tight to their royal rank amid the scandals surronding their parents. "They want to hold on to their royal status. It's their identity," the insider said.

Tom Holland shared a rare post about his fiancée, Zendaya.

The actor was celebrating her upcoming film, The Drama, with Robert Pattinson.

They were seen this weekend on a date in Los Angeles holding hands.

On Saturday, Tom Holland shared a short carousel on Instagram to promote The Drama, which stars his longtime fiancée, Zendaya. The Spider-Man star posted the movie's poster image and the trailer, sharing his excitement in the caption.

"honestly couldn't be more excited for you to see this movie and believe me when I say it's gonna floor you," Holland wrote, adding, "Get your tickets now!"

The film follows a couple, Emma Harwood and Charlie Thompson, played by Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, in the lead-up to their wedding. During a conversation with friends, a secret about Emma comes to light that changes their relationship. Dramatically. The exact plot details have been kept under wraps to avoid revealing the twist.

It was a big week for Holland as well. Marvel released the first trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which stars the couple as on-screen love interests, Peter and MJ. In the newest addition to the franchise, Spider-Man has been forgotten by all of his friends as part of a spell to get back his secret identity, separating him from his former girlfriend.

On Friday, Holland and Zendaya were seen in Los Angeles, enjoying a date night together outside of their work life. They were photographed holding hands as they walked through a restaurant parking lot. Zendaya wore a long-sleeve black shirt and flowing white skirt that came all the way down to her ankles. Her hair was up and she carried a small black purse on a long strap. Holland had on a striped T-shirt and wide-legged pants, a cardigan thrown casually over his shoulder, and wore a pair of Adidas sneakers.

Chappell Roan is speaking out after a security guard allegedly made one of her 11-year-old fans cry.

In a video shared to her Instagram Stories on March 22, the "Hot to Go!" singer told "my half of the story" and apologized after soccer star Jorginho Frello alleged his wife and child were chastised by a security guard when they ran into Roan at a hotel.

"I didn't even see a woman and a child," Roan said in the video, which she filmed while in bed. "No one came up to me. No one bothered me. I was just sitting at breakfast in my hotel."

The statement came after Frello posted on Instagram on March 21 that his wife and young daughter encountered Roan while staying at the same hotel in Brazil. Frello said his child walked past the singer, "looked to confirm it was her, smiled, and went back to sit with her mum," after which a security guard allegedly came up and "began speaking in an extremely aggressive manner to both my wife and my daughter, saying that she shouldn't allow my daughter to 'disrespect' or 'harass' other people."

The security guard "even said he would file a complaint against them with the hotel, while my 11-year-old daughter was sitting there in tears," Frello added, noting that his "daughter was extremely shaken and cried a lot." The soccer player criticized Roan for the incident, saying that it's "sad to see this kind of treatment coming from those who should understand the importance of fans."

In her response, Roan said the security guard involved in the alleged incident was "not my personal security." But she did not question the validity of Frello's story and apologized to the mother and child.

"I did not ask the security guard to go up and talk to this mother and child," she said. "They did not come up to me. They weren't doing anything. It's unfair for security to just assume someone doesn't have good intentions, when they have no reason to believe, because there's no action even taken."

She said, "I do not hate people who are fans of my music. I do not hate children. That is crazy. I'm sorry to the mother and child, that someone was assuming something, that you would do something, and if you felt uncomfortable. That makes me really sad. You did not deserve that."

Roan had been facing backlash after Frello's post, in which the soccer star tagged the singer and directly addressed her fans by writing, "She does not deserve your affection."

Amid the backlash, Roan performed at Lollapalooza Brazil on March 21, notably thanking her entire team, including security, according to video shared on social media.

Chappell Roan attends the Mugler womenswear show as part of Paris Fashion Week on March 6, 2026.

"Thank you to my crew, and my security, and my band, and everyone behind the scenes," she said.

Roan has been known for setting clear boundaries with fans ever since her career reached new heights in 2023 and 2024 with the success of her hit singles "Hot to Go!" and "Good Luck, Babe!"

In August 2024, she posted a two-part TikTok video speaking out against harassment she said she has experienced in public. The "Pink Pony Club" singer asked fans to consider if they would be offended if a "random woman on the street" didn't want to take a picture with them.

"I don't care that abuse and harassment, stalking, is a normal thing to do to people who are famous, or a little famous," she said. "I don't care that it's normal. I don't care that this crazy type of behavior comes along with the job, the career field I've chosen. That does not make it OK."

'That's not normal': Chappell Roan speaks out against 'creepy behavior' from fans

She said she does not care "if you think it's selfish of me to say no for a photo or for your time, or for a hug. That's not normal. That's weird. It's weird how people think that you know a person just because you see them online or you listen to the art they make."

That same month, Roan posted on Instagram that she needed to "draw lines and set boundaries" after being in "too many nonconsensual physical and social interactions."

"I don't agree with the notion that I owe a mutual exchange of energy, time or attention to people I do not know, do not trust, or who creep me out − just because they're expressing admiration," she wrote. "Women do not owe you a reason why they don't want to be touched or talked to."
