In 2022, he co-founded the Elba Hope Foundation alongside his wife, Sabrina Elba. The organization focuses on community empowerment and creating opportunities for underserved communities.

In an interview with People magazine, Elba spoke about the New Year Honors list; “I haven’t really spoken about it, but I will say that it’s a real honor to be recognized for the work, especially trying to make as much noise for young people and the things that some of them are going through. So it feels like an honor. My family is honored by it. I don’t even know how to talk about it.” He said.

The actor previously received a grant from The King’s Trust, which allowed him to attend the National Youth Music Theatre at the age of 18.

Idris Elba was not the only one honored at the ceremony. Olympic champions Dame Jayne Torvill and Sir Christopher Dean also received a damehood and knighthood for their services to ice skating and voluntary work.

Actress and comedian Dame Meera Syal was also recognised for her contributions to literature, drama, and charity.

The oldest of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s six children has reportedly filed paperwork to be known simply as Maddox Jolie. According to TMZ, the 24-year-old has filed legal paperwork to remove “Pitt” from his surname. If approved by a judge, he would legally be known as Maddox Chivan Jolie.

Representatives for Brad Pitt have declined to comment, and there has been no response from Angelina Jolie’s team.

This isn’t the first time Maddox has moved away from the Jolie-Pitt surname. When he served as an assistant director on Angelina Jolie’s 2025 film Couture, he was credited as Maddox Jolie. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and later opened in theaters across France. The change differed from 2024, when he served as a production assistant on the biopic Maria and appeared in the credits as Maddox Jolie-Pitt.

Maddox is the eldest of the six children shared by Jolie and Pitt. Their separation began in 2016, with the divorce not finalized until 2024. Maddox’s siblings, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne have also taken steps away from the Pitt name. In 2024, Vivienne used “Vivienne Jolie” for her work on the Broadway show “The Outsiders,” which Angelina produced. The same year Zahara introduced herself as Zahara Marley Jolie at a Spelman College sorority event, and she did it again at her graduation in 2026, then there is Shiloh, who dropped “Pitt” entirely after she filed for a name change on her 18th birthday. The court approved it, so now she is Shiloh Jolie.

The developments have fueled ongoing speculation about tension between Brad Pitt and some of his children years after the split – The long-running speculation about tension between Pitt and some of his children has continued over the years

Angelina adopted Maddox back in 2002, before she was with Brad. Pitt adopted him later, and in 2006 a judge gave Maddox and Zahara the full Jolie-Pitt surname. Now, more than twenty years later, that double-barreled last name is fading away from both public view and legal records for several of the Jolie-Pitt kids.

There is something quietly striking about an ex-partner who speaks openly and respectfully about someone they once dated, offering admiration without bitterness, irony, or restraint. Pete Davidson offered precisely that during a recent episode of his Netflix podcast, The Pete Davidson Show, delivering remarks that felt notably more grounded than the typical celebrity soundbite.

Sitting across from comedian Nikki Glaser, Davidson reflected on his nine-month relationship with Kim Kardashian with a level of perspective that feels shaped by time and distance rather than immediacy. “She’s superhuman,” he said. “I learned from her that no matter what’s going on, whatever’s in the news, you’re still you, and you can just still go do stuff.”

That is not a small observation, For nearly two decades, Kardashian has been scrutinized, dismissed, and frequently underestimated, yet she has continued to show up in her businesses, family life, and professional pursuits.

Davidson, who has dealt with mental health challenges and media scrutiny, appeared to recognise a sense of resilience in what he witnessed.

What surprised him most, though, was her acting. “Isn’t it crazy Kim’s good at acting?” he said, recalling the moment she casually announced she wanted to be an actress. “I was like, ‘F*** yeah’, and then she’s just good at it.”

Glaser, who is co-starring with Kardashian in the upcoming film “Fifth Wheel,” echoed the sentiment without hesitation. “She’s amazing. She’s so smart. She does anything she wants to do.” Glaser went further, noting the particular courage it took for Kardashian to step into acting knowing full well the audience was primed to watch her fail.

That scrutiny is real. Kardashian made her acting debut in American Horror Story: Delicate in 2023, drawing significant attention from critics and viewers. She later secured a lead role in Hulu’s All’s Fair in 2025.

Kardashian and Davidson parted ways in August 2022, both have moved on, Kardashian has also been linked to Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton. while Davidson welcomed a daughter with Elsie Hewitt in December 2025, though that relationship ended in May 2026.
