HOLLYWOOD — Picture movie executives are wondering what they can come up with to get people back into movie theaters. Well, desperate times demand desperate measures. In order to get people back into seats in big-screen movie houses, producers and directors are now demanding their leading men bare all ... and we do mean ALL, including frontal nudity!

Bradley Cooper, age 47, agreed to do it for Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro for “Nightmare Alley.” Cooper said, “In order to do it in a real way, it demanded I’d be naked ... full frontal and partially backside. I had to do that scene the first day Toni Collette worked.”

Cooper’s not alone in baring all. Benedict Cumberbatch, 45, has a full-frontal scene in “The Power of the Dog,” for which he’ll probably be up for an Oscar, and 47-year-old Simon Rex did it for the comedy-drama “Red Rocket,” which cost $1 million and only grossed $1,024,049. But Alexander Skarsgard beat them all by doing full frontal in HBO’s “True Blood” in 2013 at 37 and again in HBO’s “Big Little Lies” in 2017 at 41. ***

George Clooney and Julia Roberts have appeared in at least five films together — “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” (2001), “Ocean’s Eleven” (2001), “Ocean’s Twelve” (2004), “Ocean’s Thirteen” (2007) and “Money Monster” (2016) — and were trying to replicate their magic-making again in another film, “Ticket to Paradise.” In it, they play divorced parents rushing to Bali to stop their teenage daughter from jumping into an unwise marriage, like they did.

They were shooting in Australia until the latest outbreak of COVID-19 forced the production to shut down, and they returned to the U.S to wait out the three months until it resumes. Universal Pictures is optimistic that they’ll return Down Under in time to complete filming in time for the new release date, Oct. 21, pushed back from Sept. 30.

Boy, has Harry Potter come of age! Daniel Radcliffe’s taken on some far-out roles, not the least of which is three seasons of “Miracle Workers,” which premiered in 2019 and has been renewed for a fourth season. Now he’ll play the title role in “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.” Weird Al had big hit comedy parodies of the Michael Jackson blockbuster “Beat It,” called “Eat It,” and Madonna’s show-stopping “Like a Virgin,” called “Like a Surgeon.” His string of hits made him the biggest-selling comedy recording artist of all time and won him five Grammy awards. They promise the film will feature tales of torrid celebrity love affairs and a famously depraved lifestyle. We’ll next see Radcliffe in “The Lost City,” with Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum, premiering March 25.

King Features Weekly Service • If your dog likes a treat of moistened dry food from time to time, use the water from cooking vegetables. It has a bit of flavor and some vitamins, too! • “A tip for banana peels: Dry until crispy and break into small pieces. Put in blender and blend to powder. Store in an airtight container to sprinkle around base of houseplants before watering. Orchids love them — it’s great free fertilizer.” — B.C. in New Hampshire • “Unmatched socks are handy-dandy cleaners and have so many uses. Keep one by the dryer to get all the lint off the trap. Shake it out or pop it into the wash when needed. • If you have lots of outdoor or feral cats in your area, here is some good advice, given to me by my grandmother: Start your car with a bang — on the hood, that is. When the overnight temperature dips, cats know to find someplace that is wind-shielded and off the ground, and sometimes that means they will climb up into your engine area to hunker down. If your car starts while they’re there, they can be hurt or even killed. Give the hood a good knock to let a cat know to get out quick. — JoAnn • “After you’ve cleaned out the gliders of your sliding-glass door, run over the parts with a little paraffin wax. It will protect the moving parts and quiet the door.” — P.J. in Oregon • If you have trouble threading a needle because the fibers seem to go in all directions, here’s a tip from T.I. in Illinois: Stiffen the end of thread with hairspray before threading a needle.
