For John Cho, embodying the intergalactic bounty hunter Spike Spiegel in Netflix‘s upcoming live-action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop was no easy feat. “It was the most challenging role of my life,” the 49-year-old actor, who tore his ACL while attempting to perform an athletic move on set, told HYEPEBEAST. “I had to express myself physically in a way I haven’t been asked to do before in terms of the action stuff.” Cho recently starred in another adaptation of a popular TV series — J.J.

Look Inside Float Dubai, the World’s Largest Floating Nightclub
When the Queen Elizabeth 2 first set sail in 1967, the ocean liner was commissioned for world cruises and was later transitioned into a shorter distance vessel.

Float Dubai (via Facebook) It’s free to enter Float Dubai, but you’re going to have to pay up for bottle service. According to the The Times, a reservation comes with a requisite minimum bar tab of $1,100 and bottles of Dom Perignon start...
