Daniel Radcliffe's stunt double paralysed for life following Harry Potter scene
Daniel Radcliffe is producing a documentary about his Harry Potter stunt double who was left paralysed from a scene gone wrong. David Holmes was left with a broken neck while filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010). He was said to be rehearsing a flying scene at Warner Bros Studios, Leavesden, in 2009, when he was jerked backwards "at speed" during a scene that mimicked an explosion. Holmes launched into the wall during the freak accident and was immediately rushed to Watford General Hospital before being transferred to the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore where he stayed for a further six months. Doctors informed him that he was paralysed from the chest down, with limited movement in his hands and arms. Speaking about the horrific incident, Holmes previously told the Mirror: "I hit the wall and then landed on the crash mat underneath. My stunt coordinator grabbed my hand and said, ‘Squeeze my fingers’. I could move my arm to grab his hand but I couldn’t squeeze his fingers. "I looked into his eyes and that’s when I realised what happened was major. I remember slipping in and out of consciousness because of the pain levels. I’d broken a bone before, so recognising that weird feeling across my whole body from my fingertips right down to my toes, I knew I had really done some damage." A synopsis for the upcoming documentary reads: "Over the next 10 years, the two form an inextricable bond, but on the penultimate film a tragic accident on set leaves David paralysed with a debilitating spinal injury, turning his world upside down." Holmes later took to Instagram on 24 October with an announcement for the show. "Being a stuntman was my calling in life, and doubling Harry was the best job in the world. In January 2009, I had a stunt rehearsal accident that changed my life forever," he wrote. "This film tells the story of not just my achievements in front of camera, but also the challenges I face every day, and my overall attitude to life after suffering a broken neck."

Suki Waterhouse confirms she's pregnant with Robert Pattinson's child during concert
Singer Suki Waterhouse revealed she is pregnant with Robert Pattinson’s child during her concert. The British singer and model confirmed the couple’s happy news while on stage at the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City this past weekend. During her performance, Waterhouse addressed the crowd and jokingly explained that her outfit choice was to distract from her obvious baby bump. Waterhouse told the crowd: “I thought I’d wear something really sparkly today because I thought it might distract you from something else that’s going on. I’m not sure if it’s working.” The crowd began to cheer as she gestured towards her bump. The clip of the sweet reveal went viral online as people offered Waterhouse and Twighlight actor Pattinson their congratulations. The pair have been together for five years and are now due to become first-time parents after Waterhouse announced the news to her fans in the “cutest” of ways. One fan commented: “What I find the cutest about this is that she could just not say anything and it is so obvious at this point but I feel it was one of those moments where you are just bursting with happiness that you have to actually say it.” “Such a very cute and fun announcement,” another said. Someone else commented: “Omg this makes me so happy for her and Robert.” How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up to our free indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Luny Tunes & Noriega’s Mas Flow Is Still One of the Best Reggaeton Albums of All Time
It’s been 20 years, but Brenda Mejia still vividly remembers watching a TV infomercial playing Tego Calderón’s “Metele Sazón” back in 2003. At the time, the teenager preferred the bubblegum pop of Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears over reggaeton, a genre that was slowly and controversially spreading from nightclubs to radio stations. Then the San Juan native heard Tego’s rhyme and rhythm — and it “haunted her.” She connected with it so much that she went out and bought Mas Flow, the debut compilation album by reggaeton producers Luny Tunes and Noriega that featured the track, and made the hit a part of her quinceañera.
