"Oh, God, you know, I'm for the most part, I'm always gonna be a man of faith. My faith is how I start my day, it's how I end my day. It's the most important thing that I'll be able to pass on to my kids," the actor began.

"It's an incredible blessing to be a father. It's also a lot of hard work. And so I think I just want to teach them that ... I don't know, I want to do my best. I basically want to get right everything my dad got right and get right everything my dad got wrong. And I'm sure I'll screw up both, you know?" Pratt continued.

Pratt is married to author Katherine Schwarzenegger, the daughter of actor Arnold Schwarzenegger and journalist Maria Shriver. The couple began dating in 2018, became engaged in January 2019 and married in June of that year.

Wu told Fox News Digital that she's "never felt safer" on a television set before, due to all the veterans involved in the production.

"Yeah, you probably weren't," Pratt said. "We have 17 veterans on this in front of the camera, behind the camera. Writers, directors, tech advisors, safety coordinators, stuntmen, actors. So it was awesome."

Wu explained that in season 2, her character Katie cares more personally for Pratt's character, Reece.

John Anderson, country music hall of famer, dead at 71

John Anderson, the Country Music Hall of Fame singer known for hits including "Swingin'," "Seminole Wind" and "Straight Tequila Night," has died. He was 71.

Anderson died on Wednesday, Oct. 21. His death was announced by his family in a statement shared on his official Facebook page and acknowledged by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

"It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and best friend," the family wrote. "To the world, he was a gifted country music singer whose voice and songs touched countless lives. To us, he was so much more."

The family described Anderson as "the heart of our family," and asked for prayers as they mourned his death.

A cause of death has not been publicly announced.

COUNTRY SINGER BRIAN 'NASHVILLE' DUCKWORTH, VOICE BEHIND FAMILY BAND TAYLOR MADE, DIES AT 56

Born Dec. 13, 1954, in Orlando, Florida, Anderson grew up in nearby Apopka before moving to Nashville after high school to pursue a career in country music. He signed with Warner Bros. Records in 1976.

Anderson rose to prominence in the early 1980s with a traditional country sound influenced by artists including Merle Haggard and George Jones. His early hits included "I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal" and "Wild and Blue," followed by "Swingin'," which earned him the Country Music Association's Single of the Year award in 1983. He also received the CMA Horizon Award that year.

His traditional sound helped shape country music's New Traditionalist movement, which gained momentum in the 1980s.

After a period of declining commercial success in the late 1980s, Anderson returned to the charts in the early 1990s with "Straight Tequila Night," "Seminole Wind" and "Money in the Bank."

Over his career, Anderson recorded 20 Top 10 country hits, including five No. 1 singles, according to the Country Music Hall of Fame.

He was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2014 and the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2024.

"John Anderson was a one-of-a-kind song stylist who proved that fresh innovations were best born from time-honored traditions," Kyle Young, CEO of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, said in a statement.

Young praised Anderson's distinctive voice and his ability to draw inspiration from traditional country music.

"He was already a diamond then, and a diamond he always will be," Young said, referencing Anderson's 1981 recording of Billy Joe Shaver's "I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal (But I'm Gonna Be a Diamond Someday)."

In their statement, Anderson's family said his impact extended far beyond his music.

"His music will live on, but for us, his greatest legacy will always be the love he gave his family and the memories we will carry with us forever."

The director behind Yung Lean's viral 'Storm' video says AI imitations on social media made even good work look 'lame'

  • The director behind Yung Lean's "Storm" video said AI copies made him consider quitting filmmaking.
  • Romain Gavras said AI imitations of "Storm" on social media made his work look "lame."
  • The original video, released in April, has amassed more than 40 million views on YouTube.

The director behind Swedish rapper Yung Lean's viral "Storm" video says AI almost drove him from filmmaking.

In an interview with Vulture published on Tuesday, Romain Gavras said he was disheartened by the wave of AI-generated copies of the music video.

Gavras directed the video for "Gener8ion," an audiovisual project he runs with French producer Surkin.

The video, which has amassed over 40 million views since its release in April, follows Lean as a bully at a boarding school before the boys he has been tormenting break into an elaborate dance sequence around him during a class photo.

In September, social media users began using AI to remake the dance scene from "Storm," swapping Lean and the schoolboys for a wide range of new characters, including animals and celebrities.

"My daughter sent me the first one I saw," Gavras said. "She was like, 'Look, this dog is doing it.'"

It was funny for a while, he said, but the novelty soon wore off as the copies seemed to spread everywhere.

"It made me sad for all the people who put in so much work on our video," Gavras said. "A trend like this can make even good work look lame. Part of me wanted to quit filmmaking, move back to Greece, and become an olive farmer."

Gavras said he wasn't trying to make any commentary on AI, but when people started calling "Storm" the kind of video AI couldn't pull off, he found himself drawn into the debate.

"The tech people were like, 'Oh yeah? AI could never?' Then they started replicating it. So we were forced into this conversation. It's a nightmare," Gavras said.

He added that he has turned down a few AI companies that have approached him about licensing the video.

"There's an economic model coming that we didn't want to be a part of," he said.

However, even as AI-made versions of his work proliferate online, Gavras said the technology can imitate elements of the video but has yet to create anything with the same originality or human spark.

"They're missing the swagger of Yung Lean. He looks like a dangerous baby. There's something in the imperfection of humanity, and the interior life of someone who dances or even someone who just smokes a cigarette, that's not quite there yet," he said.

Last month, Lean and the dancers performed the choreography at the MTV Video Music Awards. A video of the performance has since racked up nearly 14 million views.

Gavras is not the only filmmaker who has weighed in on the impact of AI on creative work. Other major Hollywood directors have raised similar concerns: Guillermo del Toro has said AI could rob future filmmakers of the chance to learn their craft, while Tim Burton has said it strips away the humanity behind art.
