Angelina Jolie and Richard Madden have arrived on Fuerteventura, in the Canary Islands, along with other members of the Eternals cast and crew. This is a paparazzi video ... but, they are arriving for work, not a holiday! Hence I feel okay about publishing this link: https://twitter.com/i/status/1187765667656810500 From what I can gather, or at least how I see it, filming commences tomorrow on Fuerteventura in Buen Paso, and this will last for what is described as ‘several’ days. The production will then travel over to Lanzarote, before returning to Fuerteventura in mid-November to complete the remaining scenes. Fingers crossed that Richard then returns to London to complete principal photography; Eternals is due to wrap by the end of January. Richard’s official residence is LA but he’s been in the UK, for the most part, since late July and I miss him already ... L L L I’ve updated my Eternals page with the set photos and news ... Richard was spotted, with and on his bicycle, in West London last weekend ... but I’m not going to show those paparazzi photos, as he was going about his daily business. I feel it was okay to show the photos of the Calvin Klein shoot, at Virginia Water and on the Southbank, because he was working ... Anyway ... here are a couple of nice photographs, taken by Elizabeth Weinberg for Elle magazine.

Further photographs from the Calvin Klein shoot have surfaced ... the location was, in fact, the area around the Hayward Gallery on London’s Southbank. We believe this to be Tuesday 01 October; it rained for a while around lunchtime, before turning sunny early afternoon, followed by dark clouds and thunder later! My friend Ruth and I were in London that day ... and we spent time in Trafalgar Square on two separate occasions; which is only 0.6 miles from this location ... nooooooooooooooooo! However, if we’d seen Richard’s bare midriff, we’d probably have passed out, thus requiring the kiss of life!!! And we believe it would probably have required a superhero (Ikaris) to resuscitate us ... Here are four of the photos, with these and the others available via this link.
It’s reported that the Eternals filming in Fuerteventura has been delayed until mid-November ... see translated article

More photos from the Calvin Klein shoot surfaced today ... this time the location appears to be a city office block ... Here are four thereof ... with additional ones to be found here.
Taron has been very busy these past few days, both in London and in the USA. Here he is speaking about Richard … at ACE in the US ... I love their bromance: https://twitter.com/i/status/1183582259473014785 Taron also attended the Mr Porter fundraising event in London last Thursday night; other guests included Lily James and Douglas Booth. Richard did not attend; presumably he was engaged with Eternals filming.

Unofficial photos have finally surfaced, via Social Media, of last week’s Calvin Klein filming at Virginia Water. Richard’s hairstylist, Charley McEwen, also posted a photo last Monday evening of his very early alarm call for Tuesday, so we were able to put two and two together and reached the conclusion that they would be meeting up at some point that day! Sadly, though, there was no news regarding the location until early Tuesday afternoon, by which time it was too late for a covert operation ... And, it would appear, that Richard has given up smoking and is now vaping. This will be a result of his bodybuilding regime for his appearance as Ikaris in Marvel Eternals. Smoking and bodybuilding are not compatible. Let’s hope that Richard stays off the cigarettes, even when he’s finished filming Eternals. And, of course, Richard is wearing Calvin Klein double-denim and is clean-shaven too ... which he would be, as he’s advertising men’s fragrances! Photos courtesy of the Richard-Madden.net website. Further photos can be found here

There’s not been a lot of information regarding the Calvin Klein advert shoot ... except that a lady spotted Richard, dressed in ‘double-denim’, whilst she was walking her dog at Virginia Water last Monday! Only in the world of Calvin Klein can the imagined Mr Darcy-inspired lake scene include double-denim!!! Anyway, Richard did post to his Instagram story on Monday evening, Tuesday evening and Wednesday ...
Monday evening ...	Tuesday evening ...
Early Wednesday pain ... in the mirror I know that the Marvel actors are contracted to work-out for a minimum period each day ... so I guess Richard was keen to prove, to the Marvel powers that be, that he was continuing his gym work whilst also taking time out to film the Calvin Klein advert later in the day, during the 3-day shoot.
Barry Keoghan, who has been cast as the Eternal, Druig, joined him on Friday ... at a far more sensible time of day ...
Just look at the veins on Richard’s left arm ... it’s a mirror image!		And this is Richard’s response, later on Friday evening, to Barry’s IG story post ... he may find it amusing, but I’m feeling his pain!
There’s another set item, which appears to have been placed in Black Park ahead of Eternals filming ... you will notice the imported shrubbery in the foreground; a lorry had been spotted a few weeks ago, delivering non-native species.
There’s also a new trailer for 1917; you will notice the chalk trenches ... more proof that this was crafted on Bovingdon airfield: https://twitter.com/i/status/1179856112868134912
I’ve succumbed to my first cold of the autumn/winter season. I thought I had acid reflux on Wednesday, but it turned out to be a sore throat. I should have known, because my office currently sounds like a doctor’s waiting room! Fortunately the germination period was short, because I had a cold by Friday; it’s a chest cold, not a head cold. At no point did I have a runny nose, but I have nearly lost my voice! Also, it meant that I was feeling well enough to attend Rip It Up the 70’s at the local arena yesterday evening. This year’s show stars Melody Thornton, Rachel Stevens and Louis Smith; Lee Ryan pulled out of the show’s run earlier this week. Also, in the audience, were Harry Judd and Aston Merrygold – both were stars of Rip It Up the 60’s!
