the twin telepathy being subtitles instead of voice over was such an incredible choice esp with the way it gets used in other scenes like UGH this movie is poetry
Colman Domingo spoke to Men's Health about his experience coming out as gay to his family in the 1990s. The first person he told was his older brother:
"I told him that I was gay. He looked at me and was just like, 'What?' He just couldn’t believe it. Eventually, he said, 'I don’t care, man. I love you anyway.' And he just hugged me. Then he said, 'Have you told anyone else?' I said, no. He said, 'Alright, this stays between you and me.”’
Her sister found out two days later:
"She was pissed off. I said, 'Look, yes, it was really hard for me to tell him.' She said, 'No, no, no. Why didn’t you tell me first?' She was pissed off because she didn’t get the information first.’
Some time later, he told his mother—who accepted it calmly. Twenty minutes later, the phone rings and she says:
“I talked to your stepfather.” She puts him on and he says, in his blue-collar masculine way, “You’re a good boy and there’s nothing you can tell me that would make me stop loving you.”’

Disney paid a 13-year-old $15,000 an episode while selling $100 million in merchandise with her face on it. She never saw a dollar of the merch money.
Hilary Duff made $975,000 total for 65 episodes of Lizzie McGuire. The show's dolls, sleeping bags, notebooks, and Kohl's apparel line generated over $100 million in revenue for Disney. Her cut of that: reportedly zero. The movie grossed $55.5 million worldwide. She got $1 million.
Then Disney tried to lock her in. They offered a primetime ABC spinoff at $35,000 per episode and a sequel for $4 million plus 4% of gross. When her mother pushed for better terms, Disney gave them 24 hours to accept and then pulled the entire deal.
Her mom's quote: "Disney thought they'd be able to bully us into accepting whatever offer they wanted to make, and they couldn't. We walked away from a sequel. They walked away from a franchise."
She was 16. Most child stars who walk away from their franchise at 16 don't come back. The list of early-2000s Disney kids who maintained stable careers, stable finances, and stable public lives is brutally short.
Duff did seven seasons of Younger. Wrote novels. Raised three kids. Stayed out of tabloids for a decade. Then in late 2025, she dropped a comeback single. Her "Small Rooms, Big Nerves" warm-up shows sold out instantly, marking her first headline concerts in over a decade.
The Lucky Me Tour starts June 2026. Seven countries. 47 North American cities. Madison Square Garden. Red Rocks. The O2 in London. She added second nights in LA, New York, Toronto, and London because the first dates sold out too fast. Her husband produced the album.
The math that sticks: Disney made $100 million off a teenager and paid her less than $2 million total. Twenty-five years later she's headlining MSG and they're still selling Lizzie McGuire reruns.
That hallway walk on JHud's set is 25 years of receipts arriving at once.
