"Peter Pan inspired me to become an Actor" - Antonio Banderas


Award winning Hollywood actor Antonio Banderas says he was inspired to become an actor by 'Peter Pan'.

The 'Puss in Boots' actor credits the boy who never grew up for his acting career because he can remember being amazed by the 1953 Disney film as a youngster.

Popular French comedian Dieudonne on trial for condoning terrorism


Guide your words and watch your utterances, though there is freedom of speech, but sometimes our words can be use to justify our actions. This is the case of popular French comedian Dieudonne.

Dieudonne told a court Wednesday he condemned last month's Paris attacks "without any ambiguity" as he stood trial on charges of condoning terrorism over a comment suggesting he sympathised with the gunmen.

The polemicist was arrested on January 14 after saying "I feel like Charlie Coulibaly", a mix of the slogan "Je suis Charlie" that became a global rallying cry against extremism and the name of one of the gunmen who killed a policewoman and four Jews.

Popular French comedian Dieudonne on trial for condoning terrorism

Guide your words and watch your utterances, though there is freedom of speech, but sometimes our words can be use to justify our actions. This is the case of popular French comedian Dieudonne.

Dieudonne told a court Wednesday he condemned last month's Paris attacks "without any ambiguity" as he stood trial on charges of condoning terrorism over a comment suggesting he sympathised with the gunmen.

The polemicist was arrested on January 14 after saying "I feel like Charlie Coulibaly", a mix of the slogan "Je suis Charlie" that became a global rallying cry against extremism and the name of one of the gunmen who killed a policewoman and four Jews.

His arrest was one of dozens of cases opened for "condoning terrorism" or "making threats to carry out terrorist acts" after the attackers killed 17 people in the January 7-9 shooting spree that also targeted satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, sparking concerns over freedom of expression.

"Of course I condemn the attacks without any restraint and without any ambiguity," Dieudonne told the court in Paris.

The comedian is a controversial figure who has often made headlines, most notably with his trademark "quenelle" hand gesture that looks like an inverted Nazi salute, but which he insists is merely anti-establishment.

Branded a "pedlar of hate" by the government, Dieudonne has also attracted anger over sketches widely viewed as anti-Semitic that have occasionally prompted local authorities to ban his shows.

But his arrest -- and that of other people, some of whom were sent straight to jail for one to four years -- raised questions about free speech in France.

Dieudonne told the court he had wanted to take part in a mammoth march against extremism in Paris on January 11, but decided against it as he felt unwelcome, instead attending a smaller demonstration near his home in northern France.

"I feel treated like a terrorist," he said.

Dieudonne faces up to seven years in prison and a 100,000-euro ($114,000) fine if found guilty.

WATCH THIS: PSV Eindhoven's Jetro Willems picks up fastest red card in Eredivisie history

 
This is definitely be an unforgettable night for Jetro, after preparing hard on training and then you prepare your mind that you are going to give your all for you team then you get just 29 seconds on the field of play. Tuesday night saw the Eredivisie record for the fastest red card being re-set, with PSV Eindhoven’s Jetro Willems now the not-so-proud holder of the record. He was sent-off with the clock having just reached 29 seconds for a late tackle on Gill Swerts of NAC Breda.

However, it would be fair to say that he was pretty unfortunate to have been shown a direct red, as replays showed that although he was late with his tackle, he didn’t really make any contact with Swerts, and his opponent's reaction to the challenge might have played a big part in the referee sending him off.
