ActingHour's Melanie Crossey spoke to newcomer actress Karidja Touré about the film.

We sat down with Bella Thorne, who plays Madison, to talk about the film and her role.

"Bianca (Mae Whitman) is a content high school senior whose world is shattered when she learns the student body refers to her as ‘The DUFF’ (Designated Ugly Fat Friend) to her prettier, more popular friends (Skyler Samuels & Bianca Santos). With her universe turned upside down, she ignores words of wisdom from her favorite teacher (Ken Jeong) and enlists Wesley (Robbie Amell), a slick but charming jock, to help set her apart from the pack and erase her label forever. In doing so, she hopes to land her crush Toby (Nick Eversman), and find the confidence to overthrow the school’s ruthless label maker Madison (Bella Thorne) by reminding everyone that no matter what people look or act like, we are all someone’s DUFF…and that’s totally fine."

Here is a little snippet from the London 'Cinderella' press conference with some of the cast and crew! The film is currently in cinemas.

"A live-action feature film inspired by the classic fairy tale, Cinderella brings to life the timeless images from Disney’s 1950 animated masterpiece as fully-realised characters in a visually-dazzling spectacle. Starring Lily James as Cinderella, Cate Blanchett as the wicked step-mother, Holliday Grainger and Sophie McShera as the evil step-sisters, Richard Madden as the dashing Prince Charming and Helena Bonham Carter as the magical Fairy God Mother. Where there is kindness, there is goodness. Where there is goodness, there is magic!"

ActingHour took to the red carpet at Empire in Leicester Square, London for the World Premiere of 'House of Cards' Season 3 in aid of The Old Vic.

"U.S. Rep. Francis Underwood of South Carolina starts out as a ruthless politician seeking revenge in this Netflix original production. Promised the post of Secretary of State in exchange for his support, his efforts help to ensure the election of Garrett Walker to the presidency. But Walker changes his mind before the inauguration, telling Underwood he's too valuable in Congress. Outwardly, Underwood accepts his marching orders, but secretly he and his wife, an environmental activist, make a pact to destroy Walker and his allies. Based on the U.K. miniseries of the same name, the U.S. version offers a look behind the scenes at the greed and corruption in American politics. A number of real-life media figures make cameo appearances."

In the midst of Nicky's latest, very dangerous scheme, she throws his plans for a loop...and the consummate con man off his game.
