Kate was nervous to meet real Joanna Hoffman for ‘Steve Jobs’
Kate Winslet plays Apple co-founder’s right-hand woman, Joanna Hoffman in “Steve Jobs,” but the actress says she was “nervous” to meet her at first. The Oscar-award winning star was tense before meeting Hoffman as she does not resemble her at all, reported Entertainment Weekly. “It was amazing meeting Joanna, and it was everything meeting Joanna. And I was very nervous about meeting her because I look nothing like her. I myself look absolutely nothing like Joanna Hoffman, and she looks nothing like me,” Winslet said. The “Reader” actress said the looks did not matter much as she was interested more in the backstory of Hoffman, than acing her expressions or reactions. “I loved spending time with her because she shared stories with me about her time with Steve and her relationship with Steve that a lot of people just don’t know anything about. “And I actually came to understand a much softer, gentler side of Steve Jobs, a side of Steve Jobs who I think was kept sort of hidden away and private to those people or to his family.” “Steve Jobs” stars Michael Fassbender in the titular role, Seth Rogen, as Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak, Jeff Daniels as former Apple CEO John Sculley, along with Katherine Waterston, Michael Stuhlbarg. The film will release on October 9. (PTI)

In his ode to musicians, the 72-year-old “Piku” star, who is busy composing and singing for a new TV show, said that artistes’ are blessed. “They that possess the skills to be within notes and sounds independent of any other input, are the blessed. We are not… Because we are not the closest to the Almighty… We are not the closest because we are distanced from the creative art of making music, or even making effort in that direction,” he wrote. Addressing them as the “superior” race Bachchan went on to share his long lived desire of learning the art. “If ever I do get the opportunity to learn the craft, I am absolutely certain that its knowledge shall be constrained by any kind of public exhibition. Musicians are the superior gifts from heaven . They must sleep well and live content lives,” he said. (PTI)
