Mateo in Peru and a Venice-staged Studio: Hollywood Roundup
Matthew McConaughey recalled fleeing to Peru and adopting the alias 'Mateo' to reconnect with ordinary people and reaffirm his identity, a process he says helped him distinguish real from performative fame and even informed his poetry work; the entertainment roundup also notes renewed talk of an all-female Expendables spinoff, Expendabelles, pitched as a late-1990s origin story, and Apple TV’s The Studio recreating Venice for filming rather than using the actual festival; and Stephen Colbert and David Letterman reunite to smash CBS props on a rooftop as Colbert approaches the final Late Show episode on May 21.
