Today, we have three photos posted on Instagram by Richard himself ...
	Tuesday 18 February ... Richard confirmed that he has been visiting Topanga Park, as was suggested last Sunday, to keep fit! I hope he’s wearing lots of sun-block too ... And I guess it was only a matter of time before he showed us his hard-earned Ikaris physique!!!
	Thursday 20 February ... Richard returned to the Griffiths Observatory, one of his favourite locations in LA, presumably to admire the view from the summit!
	Thursday 20 February ... Richard let us know that he’s had his hair cut! This is Barbara Guillaume who did his hair for last year’s Interview magazine article and for the Deadline photo-shoot too. And, of course, he’s topless again ...

It’s been very quiet; Richard did not attend the Film Baftas or the Oscars, but I didn’t really expect him to. He’s only recently wrapped on Eternals, so needs a break, away from the limelight! 1917 was very successful at the Film Baftas, winning 7 awards in total – it won Best Film, Cinematography, Outstanding British Film, Director, Production Design, Sound, and Special Visual Effects. However, 1917 was less successful at the Oscars, with 3 awards from 10 nominations – Best Cinematography, Visual Effects and Sound Mixing. (I’m Gonna) Love Me Again, from Rocketman, won Best Original Song. Richard had been quiet on social media since 01 February until the early hours of the morning, UK time, on Wednesday. He posted an ‘out-take’ photo, from the British GQ January/February 2019 issue photo session: Taking everything into account, it suggested he was no longer in the UK ... which was confirmed in the early hours of Thursday morning, our time, when he posted another photo on Instagram from sunnier climbs: With detective wheels in overdrive ... it transpired that someone, within the comments section of the post, had suggested the location was Topanga State Park in California. Yes, that fits the bill ... with Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop: His LA location was further confirmed on Friday, when he posted a photograph of an art installation from an event being held in Los Angeles! Oh well, I don’t blame him for wanting to be somewhere warmer and sunnier, having spent the past few months filming much of Eternals in the UK. Besides, his official residence is currently Los Angeles! Rosebud Toys were commissioned, by someone unknown, to make a Human Bean toy for Richard as a gift and they posted a number of photos thereof online. It features Richard with his Golden Globe award, along with portraying Ikaris and Robb Stark:

Yesterday, Richard treated us to two Instagram stories ... the first confirmed that Eternals has wrapped. I think filming may have extended into last week, at least for Richard, as I overheard a couple of the Camden security personnel speaking about the wrap party and saying that the RSVPs needed to be ‘in’ by Monday 27 January, presumably leaving time for food and drink to be ordered in on the final day. He is wearing his AirPods too, as he often does ... and we can also appreciate his ‘Ikaris’ chest! And here he is, supporting his home team in the Six Nations tournament ... sadly they lost to Ireland in Dublin. And the England team was beaten by France today, in Paris! I didn’t think Richard was keen on sport, apart from Motor Racing ... and I recall he once said cricket and tennis were boring ... cricket yes, but tennis ... women’s tennis maybe, but not men’s tennis ... except when Djokovic wins!!! Today he won the Australian Open yet again ... tedious! L The Film Baftas are taking place tonight; Richard’s name does not appear on the attendees list and, besides, his events hair stylist, Charley McEwen has been enjoying an evening at the football – Spurs vs. Manchester City! Anyways, good luck to Taron and the Rocketman team and to the 1917 team too.
