First up was two-time Oscar winner Christopher Waltz, who had to suffer the indignity of one twitter user having no idea who he was. ‘I have no idea who Christopher Waltz is,’ the tweeter wrote. ’But he is pretty f’n boring so I am probably not going to bother finding out’.

After Liam Neeson launched himself as an action star at age 56 with 'Taken' (2008), middle-aged actors are showing up in cinemas to prove that they can take it too. Now with 'The Gunman' (directed by Taken's Pierre Morel), it's Sean Penn's turn. This seems like an unlikely role for the double Oscar winner, but he says he never thinks about his career when he takes on a job.

Sean Penn in 'The Gunman'

"I'm more of a movie by movie person," he said. "I take each one as its own animal. Harrison Ford made a whole career out of this stuff. So it's not a new trend - it's what I call 'geri-action'! Many of these are 'wink at the audience' kinds of movies, but 'The Gunman' was more a straight line. There were consequences to the violence - that appealed to me more."

In an unexpected appearance, actor Tom Cruise gave a surprise speech The Joanne Baron & D.W. Brown Studio graduation this weekend, in a talk intended to inspire the acting graduates to pursue their dreams. Shocked students sat up and took note as the Mission Impossible actor told of how he was first inspired to become an actor, started becoming successful and maintained his success to become one of the world's most famous actors.

Tom Cruise: Inspiring Young Minds In A Surprise Speech.

In a rather unanimated speech - hardly the kind of inspiration acting graduates trying to make their way in a tough job market need - Cruise spoke of his early days as a wannabe actor, trying to find success without having had any formal training. Looking sharp in a suit and tie, the Scientologist sex symbol instilled some of his guru-like acting knowledge upon the advice-hungry ears, peppered with anecdotes from his rise to the top. He told the acting cohort that his dream to become an actor was forged when he discovered his enthusiasm for comedy.

Sean Penn’s son, Hopper lashed out at some paparazzi recently, but instead of the standard celebrity ‘ you’re ruining in my life with your constant camera pointing’, Penn Junior went in a different, altogether unforgivable direction.

Relaxed - Sean Penn

The photographer in question – clearly riled up in the video (understandable after being called a “fa**ot” and a “ni**er” – decided not to press charges, as it was ‘just’ a verbal assault. Young Hopper will have a long way to go before he can show his face in Hollywood again without castigation, that’s for sure.

Sean Penn’s son Hopper seems to be taking after his father… but not in a good way. Hopper was caught on camera following his father into a medical building in Beverly Hills and pushing a paparazzi videographer out of the way. Not content with pushing him, the 19 year old then got into a verbal spat with the man, calling him a “fa**ot” and a “n***er.”

Not a good look for Hopper, who was questioned by TMZ about his behaviour and at least had the decency to see the error of his ways and apologise. “I was accosted by paparazzi and made to feel like an animal - threatened and under attack, but that does not condone my own actions,” said Hopper. He added “I deeply regret my choice of words.” Luckily for Hopper, the paparazzo told nearby cops that he did not wish to take the matter any further and told them that he did not wish to press charges.

Remember last year when we reported Shia LaBeouf had dropped acid for 24 hours to prepare for a role in The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman? At the time, the 26-year-old told USA Today that he wanted to deliver a realistic rendering of a scene in which he character trips on LSD. "There's a way to do an acid trip like Harold & Kumar, and there's a way to be on acid," he said. "What I know of acting, Sean Penn actually strapped up to that (electric) chair in Dead Man Walking. These are the guys that I look up to," he said.

Well, the movie - which tells the story of a young man who heads to Romania after the death of his mother - premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this week. MTV News caught up with the actor to clear up the acid story, asking, "The character drops acid and you did that for the role. You did it because you wanted to be in that headspace, apparently?" LaBeouf appeared to go into detail about the process of preparing for a scene with the use of drugs, "I'd never done acid before. I remember sending Evan tapes. I remember trying to conjure this and sending tapes. And Evan being like 'That's good, but that's not but, that is," adding, "You reach out to friends and gauge where you're at. I was sending tapes around and I'd get 50 percents from people and that just starts creeping me out. I was getting really nervous toward the end. Not cause I wanted to be on drugs - I'm not trying to mess with the set or anything like that. It's really just fear that propels people."

LaBeouf was also reported to have drunk real moonshine to prepare for the gangster drama Lawless and was expected to film real sex scene for Lars Von Trier's Nymphomaniac before the idea was scrapped. Following its Sundance screening, The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman courted positive reviews, with The Hollywood Reporter saying, "LaBeouf projects a degree of emotional recklessness that's both disarming and disconcerting to watch."

Sean Penn has revealed in a recent interview that he has a Barbie-like voodoo doll of US columnist and best-selling author, Ann Coulter, which he frequently abuses and attacks whenever angry, following her insensitive views about Penn's father, Leo Penn, who died of lung cancer in 1998.

Sean Penn owns a voodoo doll designed to look like Ann Coulter

The actor's anger towards the political commenter, arose from the effects of her 2003 best-selling book, 'Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism', in which she attempts to provide a revisionist look at U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy, supporting his views for the blacklisting of major Hollywood celebrities for their socialist views, and putting forward the idea that communist spies really had infiltrated the US Government. Penn's father, Leo Penn, had been a member and supporter of Hollywood trade unions, and chose to stand up to the McCarthy witch hunt, leading to he himself being blacklisted.
