“Saw Keanu Reeves on broadway and now I’m 9 months pregnant, this is very on brand for me. I made a deal with this baby to let me make it to this before labor, not sure what it wants in return but I’m CLEARLY a woman of my word. Such a fresh and inspired take on this play! I don’t think I’m ever going to come down from the high of seeing Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves do air guitar on stage. Cannot put into words how special it is (part pregnancy brain fog / part awe) go see it if you have the chance!”

Kieran Culkin’s Oscar 2025 speech
At the 97th Academy Awards, Kieran Culkin won the award for Best Supporting Actor for the film, A Real Pain, which was presented by Robert Downey Jr. While giving his winning speech, he started by ‘no idea how I got here’ and went on to thank all of his close ones. While thanking the love of his life, Jazz, he was quoted as saying:
“About a year ago, I was on a stage like this and I very stupidly publicly said that I want a third kid from her because she said if I won the award, she would give me the kid. After the show, we were trying to find our car in the parking lot and she said I owe you a third kid now and I said I want four and she said I will give you four when you win an Oscar.”
