Four years after boy band One Direc-
tion announced the “break” that
would become an all-but confirmed
breakup, Payne is opening up about
the ways teenage international
superstardom affected his well-be-
ing. “We were definitely overworked,
100%, in the band,” Payne reflected
to the Table Manners podcast. “I
needed to stop, definitely. It would
have killed me. You’re either going to
end up a crazy child star who dies at
whatever age, or you’re going to live
life and actually get on with it,” Payne
said of his life post-One D, noting he
finally knows how to drive and has
spent the past couple years figuring
out “how to be a person.”

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY
WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY

LOS ANGELES – One of the most

famous, highest-paid movie starsin

the world gets lonely sometimes, too.

It’s an unmooring Scarlett

Johanssonexplores in two films this

fall that bookend a century: First, in

WWII satire “Jojo Rabbit”(in theaters

Fridayin Los Angeles and New York,

expanding through October and No-

vember), she plays Rosie, a German

mother worrying about her 10-year-old

zealot whose imaginary friend is, yes,

Hitler (Taika Waititi of “Thor: Ragna-

rok,” who also directs). Then Johans-

son debuts Netflix’s “Marriage Story”

(in theaters Nov. 6 in New York and Los

Angeles, streaming Dec. 6) in which she

plays Nicole, a once-famous actress re-

discovering herself as she divorces her

husband (Adam Driver), a decorated

New York theater director.

As Johansson, 34, approached the

dual roles, limbo became new, too: She

was mid-divorce with her second hus-

band, French journalist Romain Dau-

riac, with whom she shares a 5-year-

old daughter,Rose.

“I’ve felt in the past – there’s such a

loneliness to being a single parent,”

Once again, we’ve been asked to watch the

“Watchmen.”

“Lost” and “The Leftovers” mastermind Damon

Lindelof set out to bring the complex,bleak and po-

litical “Watchmen” comics to HBO. Alan Moore and

Dave Gibbons’ somber graphic novel was adapted

once before, into a 2009 film directed by Zack Sny-

der, that proved a commercial and critical failure.

This “Watchmen” (Sunday, 9 EDT/PDT, eeeE)

isn’t trying to tell the comics’ story of costumed he-

roes in an alternate version of the 1980s, in which

Richard Nixon is still president and nuclear war with

the Soviet Union is around the corner. Instead,

HBO’s series marks a continuation of that narrative,

a far-flung sequel set in a familiar but distinctver-

sion of 2019. Its main focus is race and the criminal

justice system rather than nuclear armament.
