Jon Voight's super stoked his daughter Angelina Jolie won her first Tony Award ... a win he says may not have happened had his granddaughter not found the play!

We caught up with the legendary actor at LAX and asked about his daughter's big win for producing 'The Outsiders.' JV's over the moon for his kiddo.

Voight explains how Angie got involved with the project ... crediting his granddaughter Vivienne for watching the play multiple times before it landed on Broadway and convincing her mom to check it out.

Alan Cumming recently called his 'X-Men' movie "X2" the gayest flick he's ever made ... and someone else involved with the superhero film agrees ... the writer!

David Hayter, who penned "X-Men" and "X2" ... tells TMZ ... he loved hearing AC's take ... 'cause the dude who played the mutant Nightcrawler is 100% right ... the 2003 movie is pretty gay -- for an important reason!

Here's the deal... the film actor and Broadway star -- out since 1998 -- reflected on his diverse career, highlighting "X2" ... proudly calling it the "gayest film I've ever done, and that's me saying it" ... noting he believes the storyline is an allegory for queerness.

Michael Shannon didn't cut up the open road on "The Bikeriders" set ... in fact, he wasn't allowed anywhere near the bikes during filming -- so says the director.

Jeff Nichols -- who directed the film starring Austin Butler, Jodie Comer, Tom Hardy, Mike Faist and Shannon -- says despite MS' biker persona in the flick he never hopped on a motorcycle ... 'cause he just wasn't interested.

On the "Reelblend" podcast, Nichols says the actors had to go through extensive training to get up on the hogs ... but, Shannon skipped out and therefore wasn't allowed to ride.

Jason Biggs is lucky his wife didn't watch "American Pie" until after they said their vows ... 'cause she says she was totally "horrified" by the flick -- even if she did laugh.

Jenny Mollen -- who married Biggs way back in 2008 -- told the New York Post she hadn't gotten around to watching the 1999 classic when she first met her future husband ... adding she considered herself too "highbrow" to consider it.

That changed in the first year of their when JM finally sat down to watch it with the actor -- and, thank goodness she waited 'cause she might not have given Biggs

Jonathan Majors was honored Friday night at the Impact Awards for his perseverance after he was convicted of domestic assault last year -- and the actor delivered a moving acceptance speech.

Majors hit the fourth annual "Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards 2024" in Bev Hills with his actress girlfriend, Meagan Good, and a slew of other celebs, including Tiffany Haddish, Cardi B and Sharon Stone.

When motivational speaker Iyanla Vanzant called him to the stage for his "Perseverance Award," Majors stood up before the mic and addressed the star-studded crowd for more than 15 minutes.

Jennifer Lawrence is going the murder mystery route for her next starring role ... a film for Apple that's apparently inspired by 'The Real Housewives' franchise, which is totally fitting.

The actress is set to play the lead in a flick called "The Wives" -- which she's also producing, BTW -- and words is ... it's a classic whodunnit, where J Law will get to play a typical housewife in the vein of the Bravo world.

There aren't a lot of other details yet about Jennifer's new movie ... it was announced Friday and it's still being developed, so the plot isn't quite finished and there's no shoot date. Still ... the fact Jen's doing a 'Housewives' thing is honestly perfect casting, 'cause she's a huge fan!

Donald Sutherland -- a legend in Hollywood -- has died ... this according to his talent agency and his family.

The actor -- who was best known for appearing in classics like "The Dirty Dozen," "M*A*S*H," "Animal House," "Hunger Games" and many, many other films -- passed away Thursday in Miami, Florida after a long illness ... something CAA announced.

No cause of death was shared, and the exact details of his passing weren't disclosed either.

Jonathan Majors is set to take on the lead in a new supernatural revenge thriller -- marking his official return to the screen after his assault trial, in which he was convicted.

The actor will play the role of a CIA interrogator -- whose sanity takes a perilous dive as he grapples with malevolent forces threatening the woman he loves. The movie doesn't have a major studio attached to produce or distribute ... for now, it's just an indie flick.

Despite his legal woes, JM's got some serious backup on this project -- it'll be directed by Martin Villeneuve, the younger brother of Oscar-nominated director Denis Villeneuve ... something sources connected to Jon have confirmed to TMZ.

Denzel Washington is reminiscing about his days working with Whitney Houston -- saying he saw past her tough exterior and felt a deep need to cushion her from life's harsh blows.

At the American Black Film Festival, host Chaz Ebert echoed Denzel's observation about the late star's vulnerability on the set of the 1996 comedy, "The Preacher's Wife." Denzel, surprised his need to protect Whitney was obvious for all to see, asked, "You really got that?"

As Chaz confirmed it was, Denzel nodded knowingly, "Well, of course" -- adding, "I always felt like I wanted to protect her. You know? She wanted to be so tough, but she really wasn't. That's all. Okay."

Alan Cumming takes great Pride in his 'X-Men' movie "X2" ... quite literally 'cause the actor's claiming it's the gayest movie he's ever made!

The actor -- who now hosts the hit reality competition show "The Traitors" -- sat down for an interview with Entertainment Weekly recently where he reflected on his diverse career including his appearance in the 2003 follow-up to "X-Men."

If you haven't seen the movie, Cumming plays Nightcrawler -- a bright blue mutant with the ability to teleport in the flick. Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, Patrick Stewart and James Marsden star in the movie and, by all appearances, the film's a pretty standard comic book film.

A wild, deadly bus hijacking in Atlanta is stirring up some wild flashbacks for one of the actors from "Speed."

As we reported, a madman in Atlanta hijacked a city bus, which he used to lead police on an unbelievable high-speed chase ... and, during which he allegedly shot and killed a passenger.

Hawthorne James, who played bus driver Sam Silver in the 1994 blockbuster, tells TMZ ... he was shocked watching footage of the Atlanta bus bouncing off cars.

It all gave him some serious déjà vu, but, of course, he acknowledges the major difference is Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock and himself always knew they were safe.

Erik von Detten is sending love back to the Kelce brothers -- this after discovering their favorite Disney movie growing up was "Brink!" ... and as it turns out, he's a fan of theirs too.

The actor -- who played the lead in the classic Disney Channel flick -- tells TMZ he's honored by the recognition ... which he also says doesn't surprise him one bit, 'cause the 1998 classic was fantastic by his own standards.

Erik goes down memory lane with us -- reflecting on why he thinks "Brink!" still resonates with people today ... and why Travis and Jason Kelce might dig it so much from their childhood.

Meagan Good is starring in a new movie about domestic violence -- and it's a little awkward considering what her boyfriend Jonathan Majors just went through in real life.

The actress is the lead actress in Tyler Perry's latest drama, "Divorce in the Black," which follows a woman as she tries to escape a violent partner. The trailer was released Thursday -- and you see Meagan's character break down in tears as she reflects on her toxic marriage.

Meagan also showed up for a premiere of her new flick Thursday in L.A. ... and interestingly, she showed up by herself, without Jonathan. Of course, Meagan's been dating JM for the last year ... standing by the ex-Marvel star amid his assault trial in NYC.

Looks like Chloë Sevigny felt "American Psycho" was the best way to describe her costar Christian Bale ... at least on the set of that movie, an experience she calls intimidating AF.

The actress had a front-row seat to Christian's extreme method acting approach as the villainous Patrick Bateman for the 2000 flick ... which she told Vanity Fair she was trying super hard to respect, but it made for an especially challenging work environment for her.

Chloë explained she's all about being gregarious, silly and goofy -- so, when people take themselves too seriously, she goes into shutdown mode ... which happened on the set of 'AP.'

Will Smith's star power's reinvigorated the summer box office ... 'cause his newest 'Bad Boys' flick cleaned up in its opening weekend and made him a box office darling once again.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" is projected to make $56 million domestically when all's said and done -- higher than the previous estimate of $53 million.

BTW ... international box office totals have eclipsed $48.6 million -- cracking the $100 million total globally.

Will Smith totally stunned fans of his hit 'Bad Boys' franchise Friday ... dropping in at a random L.A.-area screening.

The actor shared a clip to his Instagram, where he hits a theater in Baldwin Hills -- a neighborhood in Los Angeles -- donning a mask to keep a low profile while joining the crowd at "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" which was released wide yesterday.

Smith says it's a tradition for him ... whenever he has a new flick coming out, he goes to a few different showings of the flick -- one on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
