“I went to bed that night thinking that was one of the best days of my life,” Chalamet told GQ. “I was on this boat all day with someone I really loved, and closing my eyes, I was like, indisputably, ‘That was great.’ And then waking up to all these pictures, and feeling embarrassed, and looking like a real nob? Do you think I’d want to look like that in front of all of you?!” Chalamet and Depp ended their relationship in 2020 after dating for over a year. In 2020, Chalamet spoke to GQ about the photos.

It's certainly a bold move from Seven, as MAFS routinely wipes the floor with its competition during the first quarter of the ratings year.
Channel Seven's reboot of Australian Idol will air in the same time slot as Married At First Sight on Nine next year.

The Weeknd stars in HBO's upcoming TV series 'The Idol' alongside Lily-Rose Depp, Troye Sivan and Jennie Kim of Blackpink.
Possibly the most highly-anticipated name on the list, Jennie of Blackpink is hardly a stranger to the world of stardom. Apart from his role in ‘The Idol’, he has also recently starred in a Paramount+ film production titled ‘Three Months’ centred around the plight of an individual exposed to HIV. Whilst this may be The Weeknd’s big debut in a leading role, the singer isn’t completely new to the world of screen. From the recent release of the trailer, we can perhaps anticipate a potential release of ‘The Idol’ in late 2022 or early 2023. From the initial seconds of the trailer alone, ‘The Idol’ is offered to be a dark tale of perversion and debauchery—coming “from the sick & twisted minds” of Levinson and Tesfaye. Via a fast-paced montage of parties in the club and dance rehearsals, Depp’s character only falls deeper and deeper into this intoxicating escape. With no plans of getting comfortable in the creative space, he sets up his next field of play; the role of co-writer, co-producer and actor for HBO’s upcoming television series ‘The Idol’. Perhaps this comes as no surprise to some: the singer-songwriter had always demonstrated his flair for cinematic storytelling via his captivating music videos, most notably in the After Hours era.
