So far, Hollywood is holding its tongue—at least publicly. Following Joe Biden’s performance during last Thursday’s presidential debate against Donald Trump, a sense of alarm has saturated the ranks of actors, filmmakers, executives, and other deep-pocketed Democratic allies in Hollywood. The president’s frailty has shaken his show business supporters—and some fear being put in “Hollywood jail” if they speak out. “It’s the only thing anyone is talking about” an entertainment executive told VF's Anthony Breznican.

A shocking photograph. Blowback from a Trump meeting. Alleged sexual assault. The Kennedys have voiced support for Joe Biden, but certain aspects of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s character are only just now coming to light. Long before he entered the 2024 presidential race with a wagon train of conspiracy theories, the wider Kennedy family was intimately familiar with Kennedy Jr.’s problematic personality—the outsized confidence masquerading as expertise, the “savior complex” (as one family member called it) that drives him to take up quixotic causes and cast himself as a lone hero against established powers, and, above all, as one old friend calls it, his “pathological need for attention.” In a special report, VF’s @joehagantv reveals disturbing new allegations about the 2024 presidential candidate—and speaks to Kennedy family members, close friends, and people familiar with RFK Jr. about his troubling history.

According to Paul Mescal, ‘Gladiator II’ is about “what human beings will do to survive, but also what human beings will do to win.” As the film begins, Mescal’s Lucius has a wife and child, and lives a relatively peaceful life with them until conquerors from his homeland begin to encroach. “He’s taken root in a seacoast town in Numidia,” Director Ridley Scott says. “It’s one of the last surviving civilizations, as the Romans begin to descend in North Africa and take it all over.” Tap the link in bio for an extended first look at the highly-anticipated film—including more must-see images—at the link in bio.

Paul Mescal’s physical transformation for ‘Gladiator II’ took the internet by storm. “I call him Brick Wall Paul,” says costar Pedro Pascal. “He got so strong. I would rather be thrown from a building than have to fight him again.” Opposite Mescal, Pascal takes on the role of Marcus Acacius, a Roman general said to have trained under Russell Crowe’s Maximus from the 2000 film. Acacius is a fighter who “learned from the best, ”says Pascal, “so of course this code of honor is ingrained into his training and into his existence.” Tap the link in bio for an extended exclusive look at the highly-anticipated film—including more must-see images—at the link in bio.

Prepare to be entertained. Your first look at ‘Gladiator II,’ starring Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Connie Nielsen, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, and more, has arrived. From director Ridley Scott, the sequel to the 2000 film picks up in the years after Russell Crowe’s Maximus gave his life upending the leadership of the Roman Empire. Mescal plays Lucius, last seen as the young son of Lucilla, Nielsen’s noblewoman from the original movie. Scott decided to pursue the Oscar-nominee for ‘Gladiator II’ after watching his performance in ‘Normal People.’ “Watching a TV show that’s not really my kind of TV show almost four years ago I said, ‘Who’s this guy?’” Get an extended first look at the highly-anticipated film—including more must-see images—at the link in bio.
