Olivia Rodrigo had the honor, nay, the privilege of being granted an audience with the King of Australian king penguins: Pesto, the giant baby penguin. The grand meeting happened last week at Pesto?s palace, the Sea Life Melbourne aquarium, where Olivia was in town for four stops on her Guts World Tour. While everything after meeting Pesto was naturally going to be a let down by comparison to the fluffy king, I didn?t think things would go downhill so immediately or literally. At her Sunday performance in Melbourne, fans caught on camera Olivia very dramatically falling through a hole on stage. Who left a gaping hole on stage?! Pro that she is, Olivia popped back up and quipped, ?Oh my god, that was fun.? Oh, to be young? and able to spring back from a fall so easily.
It really is brutal out here. Olivia Rodrigo?s lyrics imitated life when she took a nasty tumble through a trapdoor while on the stage during her Guts World Tour show in Australia.
The ?bad idea right?? singer, 21, was performing at Rod LAver Arena on Sunday, Oct. 13, in Melbourne, when she suddenly disappeared after accidentally falling through a trapdoor.
As the crowd gasped, Rodrigo came up for air and joked about the incident.
?Oh my God, that was fun! I?m OK,? the Grammy winner said, chuckling at her unexpected tumble while pulling herself up.
?Wow, sometimes, there?s just a hole in the stage,? she laughed. ?That?s alright.?
Trying to compose herself, the ?Vampire? singer took a deep breath and stated, ?OK, where was I? How?re we doing tonight, Melbourne??
Rodrigo quickly recovered from the spill and finished the concert without another fall. She later poked fun at the mishap via TikTok.
Posting a clip of the accident, she captioned the footage, ?#subtleforeshadowing.?
The pop star has several shows left on the Australian leg of her first-ever world tour: one more in Melbourne and four in Sydney.
Rodrigo?s plunge happened just weeks before the release of her Netflix concert film, ?Olivia Rodrigo: Guts World Tour.?
The streaming giant filmed the special at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. The film promises to give fans a look inside her sold-out tour, featuring songs from her latest album, ?Guts,? and her debut record, ?Sour.?
It?s available to stream on Netflix starting October 29.
?I am so excited to share the GUTS World Tour with my fans,? the star said in a statement. ?For those of you who didn?t get a chance to rock out in-person, now you can have the best seats in the house! And to the fans who cheered, screamed, and danced with me, I am so glad we get to do it all over again!?
Rodrigo?s 2024 touring year will end after her remaining stops in Australia ? but she won?t be on break for long.
The ?Deja Vu? singer?s overseas tour will resume in March 2025 at Lollapalooza in Argentina, Chile and Brazil. Rodrigo will also head to Colombia for Festival Estereo Picnic before ending in Manchester on June 30 and July 1.

Seriously, who left the trap door open on that stage?! This was not her first show in Melbourne, so presumably she?d performed at the venue before without any mishaps. There is no way this problem wouldn?t have been discovered and fixed if a proper pre-show stage check had been done. In terms of danger level, this reminds me of someone switching out Kesha?s prop knife with a real butcher knife at Lollapalooza this summer. Watch the video below ? Olivia falls through that hole hard. And not surprisingly, given that the trap door is seamlessly camouflaged with the stage. Thank goodness it appears she wasn?t badly hurt. And good on her for finding a way to laugh about it, a la Lainey Wilson when she realized her pants had split open on stage. All of these women handled their near-catastrophes like champs. Still, they deserve a better job of safety being secured before the show goes on.

Last week, Sandra Bullock, Keanu Reeves, and director Jan de Bont reunited at Beyond Fest for a 30th anniversary screening of their movie, Speed. I love that movie (and Sandra and Keanu!) so much. As a part of the evening?s events, the trio did a Q&A about the movie. During the Q&A, Sandy spoke about her audition to play bus driver Annie Porter, which included describing a hilarious visual of acting out the scene using a folding chair and a paper plate as the steering wheel. Keanu and Jan also went down memory lane to to talk about her casting process. Of course, they also addressed the question of whether there?d be a third Speed movie.
?I was the new kid on the block and it was nerve-wracking,? Bullock said onstage at Beyond Fest at American Cinematheque at the Egyptian Theatre on Oct. 8. ?I remember arriving there, I remember the car I drove, I remember what I was thinking.?
Turning to Reeves, 60, and Speed director Jan de Bont, she added, ?I walked in, I remember the room was kind of dark. You guys had it dark!?
But what made the audition especially memorable was the way de Bont, 80, and Reeves had improvised a makeshift bus. ?There was a folding chair, there was a paper plate,? said Bullock with a laugh. The plate, of course, ?was the steering wheel I was handed.?
So pretending to drive a bus with only ?Keanu, Jan, the carpeted floor, a folding chair and a paper plate,? she added, meant harnessing the power of her actorly imagination. ?All my acting classes all came together and went out the window,? quipped Bullock.
?The moment I saw you, I knew that you would be the driver,? de Bont said to Bullock, whose character takes over driving a Los Angeles bus rigged to explode if its speed drops below 50 mph.
Bullock acknowledged that that may have been the Dutch filmmaker?s takeaway from the audition, but added that she?s met actresses who were up for the role before her. ?You saw me after one, two and three couldnt do it,? she teased. ?Then you saw me in the dark room.?
Reeves, who in the film plays SWAT team officer Jack Traven, admitted that he remembered Bullock?s audition albeit without much detail. Of his own casting, he said, ?I met this mad genius [de Bont] and I was like, Oh, f, man. This is a director, this is a person with a vision. This is someone who has a passion for the story.?
The Matrix star added with a smile, ?Then I got Sandra.?
?No,? Bullock corrected playfully. ?There were three others.? When Reeves claimed he didn?t remember other actresses, she said, ?That is why I love him.?
?I have never been so proud of those two actors, what they did for me, reflected de Bont. What they had to do is just unbelievable. But the relationship that those two created together is absolutely amazing.?
Of the possibility of a third film ? which the Beyond Fest audience greeted with an enthusiastic round of applause ? de Bont said, ?I think it would be a different movie.? Nodding to Bullock and Reeves, he continued, ?It would be great to work with them [again].?
Bullock quipped that a Speed 3 would be ?the geriatric version. It wont be fast.?
Up next, Reeves will reprise his role as John Wick in 2025?s Ana De Armas spinoff Ballerina and star in Aziz Ansari?s Good Fortune. Bullock?s upcoming projects include a sequel to Practical Magic costarring Nicole Kidman.

I did some Googling, and it looks like the other two actresses who were considered to play Annie were Halle Berry and Ellen DeGeneres. Halle was offered the role when the character was written as a paramedic (she declined and later regretted it) and Ellen was considered when it evolved into a comedic sidekick. I cannot see the Ellen casting at all and am super glad that they didn?t keep Annie as a comic relief. I think Halle could have done a good job with the role, but it would have been a different movie. Sandra?s casting as the bus driver was perfect, though, and I?m happy it introduced her to the rest of us.
Keanu and Sandra have both joked before about a third Speed movie being a ?geriatric version.? In a joint interview on the Speed-themed podcast ?50 MPH,? Keanu expressed interest in doing a third movie, while Sandy joked, ?Are we, you know, in wheelchairs or with walkers? Maybe. Maybe.? I don?t need them to work together on another Speed movie, but if it?s going to happen, then I say embrace the action and make it the perfect opportunity to prove that 60 is the new 40!
One week since one of the best nights EVER A legendary night at the Egyptian Theatre celebrating the 30th anniversary of SPEED (1994) with filmmaker Jan de Bont + actors Sandra Bullock & Keanu Reeves for @beyondfest 2024!
