James Norton Talks ‘House of the Dragon’ and His Beatles Era

James Norton has seen the memes. “I’ve never been memed so much,” says Norton, whose recent turn as Ormund Hightower in “House of the Dragon” has spawned a collection of fan reactions across social media. “I did enjoy the one around the hair coloring thing: Ormund being the best colorist in Westeros,” says Norton, adding that he otherwise tries to distance himself from social media. “Everyone kept telling me, particularly in the cast, about how wide-reaching this show was, and I am getting glimpses of it. “You have to be a little bit careful, because when you start to tap into the scale and how big this show is, I don’t think it’s very healthy to be completely aware of it,” he says. “It starts to affect the way you walk around in the world.” The British actor was in New York for a very quick round of press for “House of the Dragon” ahead of its Season Three finale on Aug. 9. Norton missed some of the early-season publicity, but ...

A Little-Known Nike Loophole? You Can Customize Your Own Air Force 1s, and Here’s How.

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. When the Knicks won the NBA Finals, brands rolled up their sleeves and got crafty. Nike, chief among them, gave sneakerheads an elite opportunity to commemorate this special occasion — by unveiling a Nike Air Force 1 Low “NYC” custom style as part of its By You collection. Shoppers could decide between blue or orange uppers, both signature hues of the team, as well as whether or not gold touches would be present throughout their shoe. It’s safe to say the designs sold out all too quick for comfort as Knicks fans rushed to grab the celebratory (and wearable) collectibles, but Nike By You remains one of the best ways to infuse a Swoosh purchase with personality. Just a few clicks here is all it takes to make your fresh footwear unlike anyone else’s, similarly standing apart from anything that could be acquired in a br...

How Lily Collias Landed ‘Cape Fear’ After Breaking Out in ‘Good One’

Despite growing up in Los Angeles, it took moving across the country for Lily Collias to properly begin her life as an actor. “It’s strange how it works out that way,” the 21-year-old says. “My dad was always like, ‘why wouldn’t you just stay here?’ But I had a partner whose parents were directors in documentaries and they were like, ‘if we’re ever sourcing actors, we go to New York because everyone in L.A. is botched.’” After a breakout performance in a Sundance movie, Collias is starring in “Cape Fear,” the Apple TV+ series adaptation of the 1957 novel “The Executioners,” previously brought to screen in films in both 1962 and 1991. The show, which follows an ex-convict who seeks revenge on the lawyer who represented him, stars Javier Bardem, Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson, and is produced by Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg.  Collias developed an interest in acting from a young age, but early brushes with the industry diverte...

Keen Ruffalo Comes Into His Own in ‘Sterling Point’

The District of Muskoka in Ontario, Canada, is one of the most unique places Keen Ruffalo has ever been, and that’s not only because the JW Marriott there has North America’s only floating pickleball court.  “It’s their claim to fame,” Ruffalo says, of the hotel where he and his “Sterling Point” castmates lived last summer. “I’m very familiar with the JW up there. I think I’ve had everything on that menu at least three times.” Muskoka served as both setting and character for “Sterling Point,” the new series which marks Ruffalo’s first big role.  “Sterling Point” is the first TV show from actor-turned-filmmaker Megan Park, whose debut film “The Fallout” took home the Grand Jury Prize at SXSW. Her second, the Aubrey Plaza and Maisy Stella-led “My Old Ass,” was produced by LuckyChap and picked up by Amazon MGM out of Sundance; both companies are involved again with “Sterling Point.”  pmcCnx.cmd.push(function() { pmcCnx({ se...
