From a hole that began in Guzman's prison cell, the drug lord climbed down a ladder and then rode a rigged motorcycle through a mile-long tunnel to freedom. Guzman remained on the run for ...

... Loret writes , "and everything returned to normal.". Guzmán was not in the room when the power went out — he was found in his cell.

She was going to do a concert on Bastille Day. And that truck driver who killed all those people plowed through them right in front of our hotel. So even in me trying to do something light, I had a very, very front row seat to something that horrific. Do you ever get the urge to act again. I do, and then it passes quickly. I put myself in Deepwater for one scene, and halfway through that scene, I was like, "Get me out of here." My brain moves too quickly for it. I get too restless. I enjoyed it in my 20 s.
