Charlie Munger spent half a century lecturing investors on the psychology of their own mistakes. A month before he died, he admitted to one of the most common mistakes. Asked on the Acquired podcast how his investment in Hyundai had worked out, Munger said: "I lost money. Not much because I was stubborn. I held out until it got back to almost where I paid for it and then I sold it."
That sentence describes, almost word for word, the behavior behavioral economists call the disposition effect: the tendency to sell winners too early and hold losers too long, waiting for a stock to return to what you paid before letting it go. Hersh Shefrin and Meir Statman named it in 1985, and Terrance Odean documented it across thousands of retail brokerage accounts in a 1998 Journal of Finance paper. It is the mistake Munger's famous 1995 talk on the psychology of human misjudgment was written to help people avoid. Here he was, at 99, saying he had made it with his own money.

UW and Nebraska face off in Lincoln this weekend for the first time as conference foes. The long and storied history between the two teams stretches exactly 101 years and two weeks to the day between the very first match up in 1925 and this Saturday's game. That shared history primarily revolves around the four games played during the 1990s when both programs were at their peak. The 1991 game featured a furious second half comeback in Lincoln that built the momentum towards UW's eventual national championship. The Cornhuskers' return trip to Seattle in 1992 set the stage for the loudest recorded home crowd in college football history. Five years later, Nebraska returned to Montlake to get their revenge for the previous two games while on their way to their own national championship in 1997 in Tom Osborne's final season.
For these two programs, the current stakes of this weekend's game are much lower, although not entirely without significance. Both Washington and Nebraska enter Saturday night's matchup at a crossroads in their seasons. Nebraska sits at 5-2 overall and 2-2 in Big Ten play, but the Cornhuskers are coming off consecutive close losses to Indiana and Oregon. Despite those defeats, Matt Rhule's team has established itself as one of the league's most physical and statistically dominant defenses, keeping every game within reach through disciplined play, strong linebacker action, and excellent situational defense.
Washington, meanwhile, is 4-3 overall and 1-3 in conference play. The Huskies snapped a three-game losing streak with a 38-26 victory over Purdue before their bye week and arrive in Lincoln needing momentum to salvage their Big Ten campaign. Jedd Fisch's offense remains heavily dependent on its passing attack, ranking among the conference's better aerial units, but questions at quarterback and a struggling rushing offense persist.
Over Matt Rhule's four years at Nebraska, the Cornhuskers have embraced a physical and gritty, defensive-oriented identity as a program. Under first-year defensive coordinator, Rob Aurich, Nebraska has maintained the aggressive, fundamentally sound identity Nebraska built under Rhule. The Cornhuskers rank 14th nationally in scoring defense, 9th in total defense, and are holding opponents to just 171 passing yards and 99 rushing yards per game on average. Their suffocating rushing defense on early downs often position them in 3rd & long passing situations where they pressure packages and blanketing secondary can create plays. This formula is what has allowed Nebraska to lead the FBS in defensive 3rd down conversion percentage at just 19%. To put that statistic into perspective, Nebraska's defense has allowed just eight third down conversions in their four Big Ten conference games this season, including games with just one allowed against Maryland and Indiana.
Nebraska typically operates from a multiple-front structure, mixing even-front and odd-front looks while emphasizing gap discipline and disgui

Even with 12 straight victories and an 11-0 start in the Horizon League, there's always room for improvement for the Wright State Raiders volleyball team.
"What we've been able to accomplish has been very special," coach Travers Green said on Thursday, Oct. 29, "but you're trying to look further than that. How good can we be? What are our aspirations? It takes a certain level of commitment to win championships, but if you want to go further than that, it requires more.
"We've been pretty good, but we aren't the finished product that we want to be at this point of the year. We want to keep getting better and keep improving, keep growing, and keep looking for the things that can add more value."
Consistency from set to set, cleaner and more disciplined play, and a more relentless defensive effort — with the mindset that the ball should never hit the floor — are all on Green's mind as the Raiders enter the final two weeks of the regular season.
Wright State won 3-0 at Purdue Fort Wayne on Tuesday, Oct. 27, and returns to action at 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30, against Youngstown State at C.J. McLin Gymnasium in Fairborn.

Rapper Nicki Minaj publicly endorsed US President Donald Trump at a Republican campaign rally in Port Huron, Michigan, on Sunday, 25 October, ahead of the November midterm elections. After travelling aboard Air Force One, the Trinidadian-born artist joined him on stage, telling the crowd "We love Trump" and promising to support him "forever".
Nicki Minaj's increasingly public support for Donald Trump represents a notable political shift for a rapper whose provocative performances and **** ually explicit lyrics have often sparked controversy.
In 2020, she had criticised his administration's strict immigration policies, particularly the separation of children from their parents at the US border. More recently, however, she has appeared at events **** ociated with his presidency.
The Michigan rally also featured renewed attacks by Trump against Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic candidate for the US Senate. The president questioned El-Sayed's loyalty to the United States, allegations the former public health official has repeatedly rejected.
Trump's remarks came as Republicans campaigned ahead of the midterms, with Minaj's appearance adding a prominent celebrity endorsement to the event. A video shared by White House communications director Steven Cheung also showed the rapper joking about becoming the administration's press secretary.

OLD LYME — Vivian Boller was a freshman already playing regularly for the Lyme-Old Lyme girls soccer team when she brought a request to her coach.
"She was playing outside midfield and she wasn't taking any throw-ins," coach Caroline Wallace said. "And she came up and said, 'Caroline, I want to take the throw-ins,' and I was like, 'Go for it.'"
It may seem like a simple request from a young soccer player, but there was a little more to it. Boller was born without a left arm, and in soccer, throw-ins are done with both hands on the ball.
"I have a vague memory of it," Boller said, "but it's still in the back of my mind. Playing for my (youth) team, I remember going up for a throw-in because my coach really liked to play quick, once the ball goes out, you grab it and play it immediately. I went to grab it and the other coach said something along the lines of, 'She can't do that. That's not legal.'"
No one, though, can tell Vivian Boller, now a junior, she can't do something and expect it to stick. It hasn't been an issue in high school, where Boller now plays center midfield with a traditionally powerful girls soccer program. She also plays guard for the basketball team and competes in sprints and jumps for the two-time state champion girls track team.

Niclas Füllkrug has been a big success at Werder Bremen since returning on loan from West Ham in the summer, with a brace against SC Paderborn at the weekend taking his tally to seven goals in as many games for the Green-Whites this season.
Given Füllkrug's impressive form, questions are already being asked about Werder's chances of keeping the 33-year-old beyond this season, with sporting managing director Clemens Fritz addressing the topic on the Sky programme "Sky90 – die Fußballdebatte" on Sunday.
"Ultimately, there are three parties involved: West Ham, Niclas and Werder Bremen. And that is, of course, what makes it challenging. With two parties, things are sometimes a little easier," Fritz said.
One positive for Werder is that Füllkrug is happy at the club.
"Niclas feels comfortable in Bremen. He does us an enormous amount of good. Of course, I would be delighted if he stayed with us beyond this season, and I'm sure the whole of Bremen would feel the same. At the moment, however, it's still too early," Fritz added.

Steven Gerrard was the epitome of a local lad living out the dreams of the supporters watching on.
Across an incredible career atLiverpool, Gerrard became the beating heartbeat of the Reds' side. A box-to-box force of nature, Gerrard led Liverpool to a wealth of major honours, often appearing to singlehandedly drag his boyhood side over the line.
Gerrard was the driving force in Liverpool's 2005Champions League success in Istanbul, when Rafael Benitez's side somehow recovered from three goals down against AC Milan to win. A year later, another defining performance led to FA Cup success and the 'Gerrard Final' was born.
In 2026, he wasvoted as number one in a list of Liverpool's 100 Greatest Players.
For England, Gerrard won 114 caps and scored 21 goals, further cementing himself as one of the finest footballers the country has ever produced.

Young, hungry, and increasingly central to Gian Piero Gasperini's project. Roma, after beating Genoa, continues to generate buzz, especially for their green line, which has become something much more concrete than a simple emergency decision.
And the symbol of this new path is Emanuele Lulli, who made a splash on Saturday night with his first Serie A goal and is now close to signing a new contract with the Giallorossi.
Corriere dello Sport claims that Roma are reportedly preparing to extend the young winger's contract until 2031, with negotiations already at an advanced stage.
The current agreement expires in 2027, and the parties are working to adjust his salary and extend his contract as long as possible, thus securing one of the talents who has most impressed Gasperini in these first months. Lulli's growth has been rapid.
Born in Palestrina on August 17, 2007, just a few months ago he was watching the first team from afar. During the summer preparations, however, he stood out especially in the physical and athletic tests, where he was among the best in the group.

Modern football is a game of two parts: the first hour or so, dictated by carefully curated gameplans and training ground patterns; and the final half-hour when a flurry of substitutes come on, rigid structures fade away and a match opens at the seams. ***** nal were dire for most of this game at the City Ground, shut out by Nottingham Forest's red wall. But yet again the power of Mikel Arteta's "finishers" decided a match.
Noni Madueke was sent on at half-time for Eberechi Eze, who had been statuesque at his station on the left touchline, which, in fairness, is not his position. With the clock ticking towards 80 minutes, Madueke did what Eze hadn't and drove at Forest's defence before unleashing a shot, which took a fortunate deflection off Jair Cunha on its way past the helpless Matz Sels. It went down as ***** nal's only shot on target, and in truth it might have been curling wide.
This was the third game in a row in which Arteta rang the changes in the second half as his team struggled to click, after Leeds last weekend and Lille in midweek. Once again he made a triple substitution on 65 minutes, sending on Jurrien Timber, Mikel Merino and Viktor Gyokeres, and once again a stubborn defence was worn down in the final stages. No Premier League side has generated more goals and ***** ists from the bench since the start of last season.
Noni Madueke scored the only goal of the game (Reuters)
Forest were excellent in their determination to blunt ***** nal's attack. Like Eze, Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka had little joy, and Oliver Glasner took positives from a performance of cohesion and spirit. Liam Delap was a brilliant nuisance in attack and could have equalised in the final minutes but for Ezri Konsa's last-ditch block. Murillo nearly scored the goal of the season, dribbling in from the left touchline before curling just over the bar with one of the last kicks. But Forest remain third from bottom after a third successive defeat, and their wait for a first home goal of the season goes on.

With eight different teams the winners over the past eight seasons, it is hard to predict who takes home the NBA's Larry O'Brien Trophy in June.
If there is to be a ninth different name in as many seasons, you might look to San Antonio Spurs, with Victor Wembanyama leading the team to the Finals last season before coming unstuck against the New York Knicks.
Maybe the Philadelphia 76ers off-season moves to acquire Jaylen Brown and sign the NBA's all-time leading scorer LeBron James is an attractive pick, or perhaps the Cleveland Cavaliers.
As the season tips off, the first British-born coach in the NBA, Tim Lewis will be hoping he can ******* ist Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves to their first NBA ******* le.
Lewis has been something of a journeyman in basketball.

Actor C.W. Morgan has passed away at the age of 72. He was known for playing Billy Loomis' father in Scream and Scream 3. According to medical reports, Morgan died on August 30, 2026, though the reason has not been disclosed.
The confirmation of his death comes from Los Angeles County Medical Examiner records seen by TMZ and Entertainment Weekly. According to the records, Morgan died in a bathroom in Los Angeles. An LAPD spokesperson told TMZ that the death appears to be a result of natural causes.
Morgan was born in Bisbee, Arizona, and began his acting career in entertainment by starring in the 1991 TV series, Midnight Caller. Following that, he appeared in the 1992 TV movie, The Last of His Tribe. Besides the Scream movies, Morgan has also appeared in the film Metro and the TV show Nash Bridges as himself. In addition to his film and television work, he also lent his voice to the 1997 video game, The Last Express.
While his appearances were brief, his character, Hank Loomis, holds great importance to Scream fans. In the original film, it is revealed that Hank had an affair with Sidney Prescott's mother, which eventually led to his son, Billy, becoming Ghostface.
Morgan's daughter, Renata Macfie, paid tribute to the actor on Facebook. "I'm never going to have the right words for this post. Losing you has left the biggest hole in my heart. I will carry on our Mulholland drives and our Starbucks outings. I'm grateful and lucky to have had you as my daddy. My Guck. Rest easy, bubby. Life will never be the same without you and your poorly timed jokes that I inherited from you. Love you endlessly (no more fighting about that anymore, I win)."

After Chad Lowe announced the death of his 13-year-old daughter, Fiona Lowe, he is sharing insight into his coping process.
On Thursday, Oct. 8, more than a week after Fiona Lowe died by suicide on Sept. 29, he took to his Instagram Stories to share a clip from Olivia Hunt's "On Healing" podcast. In the clip, author and self-described "soul coach" Gerry Hussey muses about believing in a "divine frequency" and what happens when someone dies.
"So when we die, where do we go? We return to a state of peace and love. Where were we before we were born?" he said, adding that he believes "there's a spirit that enters the body. It mobilizes. It gives us an intelligence and an awareness."
Mabel Lowe, 17, honors little sister Fiona Lowe days after her death
In the episode, originally released in July 2025, Hussey spoke about the grieving process involving accepting that "we control nothing" and that "nobody really knows why people die; ***** ody really knows why we live."

About one in every 42 babies born worldwide is a twin, meaning Hollywood has its fair share of siblings with the same birthday.
Not every set of twins has the same desire for the spotlight. Sometimes, only one twin achieves celebrity status.
Rami Malek's twin, Sami, is a teacher, while Parker Posey's twin, Chris, is a lawyer.
Twins have a lot in common—but being famous is where some differ.
Yes, there are a host of celebrity twins who share the spotlight, from the Olsens to the Sprouses. Having a look-alike sibling may even have helped them stand out early in their careers. Yet for every duo like Sister, Sister stars Tia and Tamera Mowry, there's another pair of twins where only one of them is well known.

Kids today might know Matthew Modine best for his role as Dr Brenner in Stranger Things but the star got his start back in the '80s with hits like Full Metal Jacket (1987). The actor has appeared in not one but two Christopher Nolan classics, The Dark Knight Rises and Oppenheimer, so we'd recommend digging back into his filmography.
Before you swap over to your TV screen, catch up on what the actor has been doing since he worked with Nicolas Cage and the successful lives of his wife and two kids below.
Caridad met while Matthew was working as a chef in New York
Matthew's long-term wife Caridad Rivera was born in the Lower East Side of Manhattan and is of Puerto Rican descent. She works as a makeup and wardrobe artist. Caridad and husband Matthew are still going strong four decades in.
The actor told Closer Weekly: "I'd been in a few relationships and wanted someone to be friends with. What's most important is to have a partner you share interests with, who challenges you, who is smarter than you." He added: "Then the physical side is a bonus. I hit the jackpot and got both!

She was one of the '80s most recognizable movie stars, with roles in Karate Kid, Back to the Future II and III and more. And while she has worked consistently ever since, Elisabeth Shue has also raised three children with her husband Davis Guggenheim.
Elisabeth married the documentary maker in 1994, and they are parents to son Miles, born in 1997, and daughters Stella, born in 2001, and Agnes, born in 2006. Let's get to know more about their grown-up children now…
The Karate Kid actress welcomed her first child Miles William in 1997. His middle name was chosen in honour of Elisabeth's brother, who died in a tragic accident in 1988.
Elisabeth and Davis raised their children away from the public eye, and Miles continues to maintain a low profile into adulthood. He reportedly graduated from Brown University with a Bachelor's degree in Literary Arts.

"Being in Canada, away from the stressful environment where presumably my body was just pumped full of adrenaline, within two or three days, I experienced this adrenaline crash, something that I'd never experienced before," Harry recounted. "It was as if I needed stress in order to get the adrenaline to make my brain function because I became useless around the house."

Despite the S&P 500's (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) 13.3% gain thus far in 2026, there's still plenty bubbling beneath the surface that could trigger a sharp and sudden market crash. Stubborn inflation, the U.S. national debt sitting above $40 trillion, and fears of an artificial intelligence bubble are just a few concerns.
As one of the most successful investors of all time, Warren Buffett has some sage advice. It's found in the 1996 Berkshire Hathaway shareholder letter, which offered one of the top strategies for handling a market crash. The good news is that it can be followed before a crash even starts.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
It's easy to feel panicked when the market starts tumbling, and making any kind of move, even if it's a knee-jerk reaction, can initially feel better than making no move at all. While that small voice whispering to "sell" may never go away during the initial waves of a market crash, it can be countered by being prepared in advance.
Buffett shared exactly how to counter it. In Berkshire's 1996 shareholder letter, he said, "If you aren't willing to own a stock for ten years, don't even think about owning it for ten minutes."

Khaby Lame turned a simple comedy concept into a global creator business. The Senegalese-born Italian star built his following by silently mocking complicated life-hack videos. His signature facial expressions and palms-up gesture became instantly recognizable. Lame has more than 160 million TikTok followers and was ranked among the world's highest-earning creators in 2025. Forbes estimated his earnings at $20 million that year. But what is Khaby Lame's net worth?
Lame's rise started after he lost his factory job during Italy's COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. TikTok gave him an audience, but brand partnerships turned that attention into money. Forbes Africa further reports that Lame has worked with brands including Hugo Boss, Airbnb and Binance. His business now stretches beyond TikTok, making Khaby Lame's net worth a bigger creator-economy story.
Yes, but the $975 million headline needs context. In January 2026, Rich Sparkle Holdings announced its acquisition of Step Distinctive Limited, a company tied to Lame's brand. According to Forbes Africa, Lame owned 49% of Step Distinctive before the transaction.
The deal involved Rich Sparkle shares rather than a straightforward cash payment. Forbes Africa also reported that Lame's stake reached a paper value of $6.6 billion when Rich Sparkle's stock surged.
That figure did not mean Lame suddenly had $6.6 billion in cash. Forbes also raised concerns about Rich Sparkle's small public float and the difficulty of using its stock price to measure Lame's actual wealth.

Adriana La Cerva in The Sopranos. Ginger McKenna in Casino. Sofía Vergara's Griselda Blanco. For decades, the mob wife has been the archetypal anti-heroine – all fur, animal print and knee-high boots. Now Catherine Zeta-Jones has joined the ranks.
Shedding the gothic lace and American drawl of Morticia Addams in Netflix's Wednesday, Swansea-born Zeta-Jones is using her real Welsh accent on screen for the first time in Prime Video's revenge thriller Kill Jackie. She plays Jackie Price, an ex-cocaine dealer whose quiet life unravels when one routine decision ends with an elite squad of ******* assins hired to kill her.
Unsurprisingly, the series is already drawing comparisons with the BBC's Killing Eve. The series shares a director (Damon Thomas), a dark, twisted humour and puts a fierce, quirky woman at its centre. But the strongest link may be the wardrobe.
Just as Villanelle's Molly Goddard tulle dress became a character in its own right, Jackie's wardrobe – built on an enticing mix of British designers, vintage and second-hand – is every bit as scene-stealing, and serves as inspiration for how we'll want to dress this autumn.

Joe Manganiello has opened up about the seven-year illness that left him fearing he was going to die.
Manganiello, 49, wrote about his struggles in his forthcoming memoir, Bloodlines, and how the autoimmune illness led to "major organ amputation." He also shared the impact of the illness on his marriage to Sofía Vergara. The two married in 2015 and filed for divorce in 2023.
Speaking to People about the ordeal, the True Blood star said: "I can't believe I'm alive. I feel like I was reborn.
"For seven years I thought I was going to be dead the next week. The world has opened back up to me."
Manganiello began feeling ill shortly after his 2015 wedding to Vergara, suffering from abdominal pain, fevers, rashes, fatigue and headaches. Between then and 2022, he lost 60 pounds and had multiple surgeries, all due to autoimmune disease.

STOCKHOLM, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Canadian poet and writer Anne Carson won the 2026 **** el Prize in Literature "for her bold and inventive oeuvre that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition, has created new forms for contemporary literature", the Swedish Academy said on Thursday.
"She was very taken by surprise," said Ingrid Carlberg, permanent secretary of the academy, which awards the prize worth 12 million Swedish crowns ($1.2 million).
"We didn't have so much time to speak, and all she had time to tell me was that she is for the moment in Iceland, where she's listening to the wind."
Carson's work often blends verse, prose, dialogue and translation in a genre-defying mix. Born in Toronto, the 76-year-old has also held Icelandic citizenship since 2022 and has spent considerable time on the Arctic island in recent years.

Motherhood has felt noticeably different for Megan Fox this time, with the birth of her daughter Saga. The actress says her youngest child has brought her a calm she had not known before. The key difference, she said, is she "got to do everything in a different way" and not go straight back to work.
In an exclusive conversation with People, Megan Fox, 40, reflected on life with Saga Blade, her fourth child. "This is the first time I did not have to go back to work right away, so my postpartum experience has been very different," Fox said. "I've been able to really be with her the way I wanted to be."
Saga's birth was also unlike the others. "She's also the first one I didn't have in a hospital," the actress said. "I had her at home, in a tub, in the backyard, outside by a fire pit."
Fox and MGK welcomed their daughter in 2025. Fox has three other kids, Noah, 14, Bodhi, 12, and Journey, 10, with ex-husband Brian Austin Green. Returning to work early after her sons were born was hard on her, she explained. "It affected my mental health, and it affected my physical health as well," Fox said.
With the birth of her youngest, Fox is glad she could be around more. "Being able to really be present with her has been something that I love, and I'm so grateful that I got the chance to do it this way," she said.

Barry Keoghan has built a career by choosing characters that are rarely easy to understand. The Irish actor can appear vulnerable in one film and deeply unsettling in the next, often bringing an unpredictable quality to his performances. His journey into acting was equally unconventional, beginning far from the traditional routes into the entertainment industry. A difficult childhood in Dublin shaped his early years, while an unexpected opportunity introduced him to acting. Since then, Keoghan has developed into an internationally recognized performer with roles spanning independent dramas, major blockbusters and psychological thrillers.
Born in Dublin, Keoghan experienced considerable instability while growing up. His mother struggled with drug addiction and died when he was young, and he and his brother spent several years in foster care before being raised largely by their grandmother and aunt. Despite his later success, Keoghan has spoken warmly about returning home and immediately slipping back into ordinary family life, joking that celebrity status does not excuse him from making his bed or cleaning up after himself.
His entrance into acting came almost by chance. As a teenager, Keoghan noticed a casting advertisement in a local shop window for the Irish crime film Between the Canals. He responded despite having little professional experience and eventually secured a role. Television work followed, including the Irish drama Love/Hate, helping him develop his craft and attract greater attention.
His international profile grew dramatically in 2017. Keoghan appeared in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk as George Mills, a young civilian caught up in the evacuation of Allied soldiers from France. That same year, he delivered a very different performance opposite Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman in Yorgos Lanthimos's The Killing of a Sacred Deer. As the mysterious Martin, Keoghan demonstrated the unnerving screen presence that would become one of his greatest strengths.
Rather than remaining within one genre, he continued moving between dramatically different projects. He entered the Marvel universe as Druig in Eternals, appeared in The Green Knight and gained major acclaim for Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin. His performance as Dominic Kearney earned him a BAFTA and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Ray Fisher became internationally recognizable as the technologically enhanced superhero Cyborg, but his career began far from the world of comic book blockbusters. The American actor developed his craft through theater before making the leap to major Hollywood productions. His upbringing, particularly the influence of his mother and grandmother, helped shape the values he later carried into his professional life. When Fisher encountered difficulties behind the scenes of Justice League, he chose to speak publicly about his experience. That decision became an important part of a career increasingly ****** ociated with both performance and workplace accountability.
Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Fisher grew up in Lawnside, New Jersey, in a large family raised primarily by his mother and grandmother. He has described both women as his real life superheroes, praising the determination and strength they demonstrated while he was growing up. His interest in acting became serious during high school, when encouragement from a teacher led him to audition for theatrical productions.
Fisher continued developing as a stage performer and eventually established himself in professional theater. One of his most demanding early roles was Muhammad Ali in the Off Broadway production Fetch Clay, Make Man. Preparing to portray the legendary boxer required substantial physical transformation as well as the ability to capture Ali's confidence and personality. The experience demonstrated the discipline Fisher could bring to a role before Hollywood audiences became familiar with him.
His major screen opportunity arrived when Zack Snyder selected him to play Victor Stone, better known as Cyborg, in the DC film universe. Fisher made a brief appearance in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice before receiving a much larger role in Justice League. Production changed significantly after Snyder left the project and Joss Whedon took over during post production. The theatrical version released in 2017 reduced much of Cyborg's original storyline.
In 2020, Fisher publicly accused Whedon of inappropriate and unprofessional behavior during the Justice League reshoots. WarnerMedia subsequently conducted an investigation after Fisher raised concerns involving the production. In December 2020, the company announced that the investigation had concluded and that remedial action had been taken, without publicly detailing what those measures involved.

Prince William has been branded a "beautiful human" after his interaction with a four-week-old baby, which took place on Tuesday during an engagement in Ilminster. The royal, who is a dad of three, was also on hand to offer up light-hearted advice for the new mum.
In the video above, William can be seen meeting the tiny newborn, and he asked: "How old?" When the mum replied, "Four weeks," he exclaimed, "Four weeks!" He then proceeded to ask if it was her "first one" and when he discovered it was her second, he waved his hand in the air and said: "Dab hand," in a reassuring tone.

The talk then turned to sleep, as it does with most parents, and when discovering the little one isn't the best sleeper, he jokingly instructed the woman: "Don't move," as the baby was sound asleep on her during the whole interaction.
When the clip circulated online, fans praised William for stopping to speak to the parent. One wrote: "William is a beautiful human being who is so much like his Mum was," and another added: "This is why people love William. So natural and caring, asking about the baby sleeping! Future king with such a kind heart."
