There is an unknown reference to a "biological father" in the personal section. Was he adopted or had a step father? 2605:59C8:10D6:5510:695A:6659:4033:AC59 (talk) 23:11, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is with the "career" and "married life" sections at the start of the page below the menu? There is no information given which isn't shared in the more detailed sections "Acting career" (1980s, 1990s, 2000s, etc.) and "Personal life" (Marriages and relationships, Scientology, Controversies, etc.) below. They also make for an unusual layout of the page which currently is career, personal life, career (again), production, personal life (again). The two shorter paragraphs "career" and "married life" should be deleted and, in case there is additional info which is missing from the rest of the article, should be added to the corresponding already existing more detailed paragraphs.

Since this is a WP:BLP, I figured it's worth cautioning that the article has recently been edited multiple times by the sockpuppet account of a long-term block evader (Rizzle685). I've reverted their last two edits ([1]), but they have other edits before that, including in the lead ([2]). I don't edit on this subject, so I'd prefer to let other editors review these other edits and revert/revise if needed. Cheers, R Prazeres (talk) 23:52, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The phrase (redirected here) was among the 2005 Words of the Year. I guess this factoid deserves to be expounded here (if only to justify the redirect). - Altenmann>talk 02:26, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
