British Rising Star Surprises as Front Runner for Next James Bond
Speculation as to who will take over the role of James Bond from Daniel Craig in the next instalment of the franchise has been heating up in…
Jack Nicholson’s son Ray is in crisis mode after his beloved dog vanished — and now Hollywood’s elite are stepping in to help.
The 33-year-old Smile 2 star’s supermodel girlfriend Sara Sampaio took to Instagram on Tuesday to reveal that their beloved pup Mongo had gone missing on April 28.
Posting a LOST flyer featuring the tiny runaway, Sara pleaded with fans: ‘HELP!!!! REWARD! No questions ask! Please help, mongo escape our fence and we can’t find him. We are desperate to find him. Please please help us.’
The Portuguese stunner, 33, — who’s been dating Ray since 2023 — added: ‘He’s very small and friendly. He’s probably scared. He’s everything to me!’
A few hours later, she updated fans via Facebook, writing: ‘Mongo is still missing’ and warned locals: ‘PLEASE DONT CHASE AFTER HIM. Trying to keep movement in that area to a minimum to see if he feels safe to come out and doesn’t run away into other areas.’
Tinseltown quickly rallied behind the couple, with Paris Hilton reposting the alert and Hailey Bieber sharing it to her Stories, urging her millions of followers: ‘please help find Mongo.’

Director James Gunn and actress Brenda Son also reached out in the comments section.
Ray and Sara made their red carpet debut at Vanity Fair’s Oscar party in March 2024.
Since then, Sara hasn’t been shy about flaunting their romance online — gushing in a February Instagram post, ‘My valentine how did I get so lucky?’ alongside a series of sweet snaps with Ray.
The heartbreaking dog drama comes not long after Ray opened up about a ‘traumatic’ childhood run-in with Kobe Bryant during a Lakers game.
The actor, who’s often spotted courtside with his legendary dad, 87-year-old Jack, recalled the moment on a March episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! — revealing he was ‘pantsed’’by the late NBA icon and teammate Nick Van Exel when he was just a kid.
‘I was with my best friend, Beau, who was also six, and Kobe Bryant and Nick Van Exel pantsed us. Pantsed us before the game,’ he said.
The two boys burst into tears afterward, prompting an apology from the players.
‘They actually came up and apologized, and were like, “No, you’re a part of the team,”‘ Ray added.

He also recalled another courtside moment from 2010, when 6’11” Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett tumbled into the front row and landed right on him — a lesson in NBA survival from his Oscar-winning father: ‘You’re sitting courtside, watch the player, not the ball.’
Ray is the son of Jack and actress Rebecca Broussard, who dated the Chinatown star from 1989 to 1994.
Following in his dad’s footsteps, Ray launched his own acting career in the mid-2000s.
He made his feature film debut in the 2016 indie drama The Benchwarmers, but his breakout role came in the 2021 thriller Promising Young Woman, where he played a smarmy party guest opposite Carey Mulligan.
He later starred in Amazon Prime Video’s short-lived series Panic and was seen in the horror sequel Smile 2.
In addition to acting, Ray has also worked behind the scenes as a second assistant director on films like A Reunion and Boots/
