Guy Pearce is embarrassed by his performance in 'Memento'.
The 57-year-old actor recently rewatched Christopher Nolan‘s 2000 thriller and admitted he regrets his acting choices in the flick, calling himself "s**t".
He told The Times: "I’m having an existential crisis. I watched ‘Memento’ the other day and I’m still depressed. I’m s*** in that movie. I’d never thought that before, but I did this Q A of ‘Memento’ earlier this month and decided to actually watch the film again.
"But while it was playing I saw that I hate what I did. And so all this stuff about an exec at Warners being why I’ve not worked with Chris again? It came crashing down. I know why I didn’t work with Chris again — it’s because I’m no good in ‘Memento.’”
Guy previously claimed that he had never worked with Nolan since 'Memento' because an unnamed Warner Bros executive didn't like him.
He told Vanity Fair: "He spoke to me about roles a few times over the years. The first 'Batman' and 'The Prestige'. But there was an executive at Warner Bros who quite openly said to my agent, ‘I don’t get Guy Pearce. I’m never going to get Guy Pearce. I’m never going to employ Guy Pearce.'
"So, in a way, that’s good to know. I mean, fair enough: there are some actors I don’t get. But it meant I could never work with Chris."
Meanwhile, Guy previously revealed how he struggled to cope with fame earlier in his career.
The actor told The Independent: "I went to America still carrying this baggage of not believing in myself or the value of my work, so I was extremely picky.
"I had people around me saying I should do a superhero film, but I was only interested in films that felt heavy and psychological.
"I’d done five films back-to-back and was pretty spent, turning up to work every morning and growling at people. I was battling with myself all the time over whether it’s just ridiculous and childish, faking stuff for a living."
Guy ultimately decided to take some time off because he was beginning to feel overwhelmed.
He said: "I was about ready to kill somebody, to be honest, so I took 18 months off, had a big old think about it and a bit of a lie-down and came back thinking actually, this is something that will keep me young. It’s a wonderful, youthful perspective on life. It was the decision of a thirty-something man, not an eight-year-old boy."

Emerging Texans star likely to miss 2025 season
Texans wide receiver Tank Dell is likely to miss the entire 2025 season as he continues his recovery from last year’s brutal knee injury, according to KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson. Dell dislocated his knee and tore his ACL, MCL and LCL in a Week 16 loss to the Chiefs in December. With such a severe injury, Houston’s focus is on Dell’s health and long-term career outlook. The team wants him to get healthy rather than rushing back to play this year. Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said (via Wilson) that Dell is “crushing the rehab,” but declined to offer a specific timeline. His comments hinted that the team is not counting on Dell to return this season. Injuries were always the biggest concern surrounding Dell. His 5-foot-7, 165-pound frame was already undersized by college standards; in the NFL, it’s minuscule. Sitting out this season will set up a major contract year in 2026. Dell will need to prove that he is back at full health and can remain there for an entire season while maintaining his production. Dell was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, along with teammates Trent Brown and Jimmie Ward.
Chicago Blackhawks reportedly set to trade 25-year-old goaltender to Stars rival, Edmonton Oilers
The Chicago Blackhawks, a crowded goaltending situation and trade rumors involving the Edmonton Oilers have fans wondering if the Stars' rivals could soon upgrade their crease before training camp. With training camp approaching, Chicago general manager Kyle Davidson has five goalies under contract, including Spencer Knight, Arvid Soderblom, Drew Commesso, newly signed Stanislav Berezhnoy, and veteran Laurent Brossoit. Only two NHL roster spots are available, which has fueled speculation that Brossoit could be moved to a contender, with Edmonton emerging as a leading candidate. For Stars fans, seeing the Oilers potentially bolster their crease should raise eyebrows. Edmonton, fresh off a deep playoff run, is looking to avoid the same issues that hurt them late in the postseason. "The Blackhawks have too many goalies and not enough spots, and Brossoit's contract and experience make him a natural trade chip for a team like the Oilers."-Julien Trekker Chicago's goalie logjam and Berezhnoy's recent signing are detailed further at NHL.com. Dallas could see its rival upgrade as Blackhawks explore trading Laurent Brossoit Brossoit, 32, carries a $3.3 million cap hit for one more season. Drafted by Calgary in 2011, he's appeared in 140 NHL games, including time with Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Vegas, where he helped the Golden Knights win the Stanley Cup in 2023. While Chicago decides, Drew Commesso continues to push for NHL time after posting a .911 save percentage over 39 AHL games. For a deeper look at Commesso's performance, his full profile is on Elite Prospects. I think if Edmonton lands Brossoit or even Commesso, Dallas may have to plan around a deeper Oilers team come playoff time, especially given how tight the Western race looks on paper.
Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski continues to set radar gun on fire at unprecedented rate
Milwaukee Brewers Jacob Misiorowski was back on the mound on Tuesday night against the Seattle Mariners, and even though he pitched just 3.2 innings, he continued to show why he is one of baseball's most exciting young talents. Prior to be pulled after 64 pitches, he allowed just three hits, walked one and struck out seven to continue his stunning start to his big league career. He also continued to light up the radar gun in a way that no other pitcher in the modern era has. Following Tuesday's start, where he regularly clocked in at over 101 mph, he has now thrown 39 pitches this season that have eclipsed 101 mph on the radar gun. He has done that in just 29.1 innings over six starts. By comparison, every other starting pitcher in Major League Baseball has tallied just 17 pitches of 101 mph or higher — combined. But it's not just about how he stacks up with pitchers this season that is staggering. It's that he is near the top of the list for 101 mph pitches for a career. Here are two of his 101 mph heaters from Tuesday. The ball just erupts out of his hand at the hitters. When you add in his mid-90s change-up and high-90s breaking pitches he is already one of the nastiest pitchers in the majors. It is that sort of electric stuff that made him a National League All-Star after just five appearances. For the season, he has now struck out 40 batters in 29.1 innings of work (that is 12.27 per nine innings), allowed only 15 hits and just eight earned runs. And five of those earned runs against came in only one start. Given his age and with the way teams today are extremely protective of their pitchers, he is probably going to see his pitch counts and innings closely monitored this season. When he is on the mound, though, he is quickly becoming appointment viewing.
Dolphins Veteran Feared to Have Suffered Season-Ending Knee Injury
The injury bug has already struck the Miami Dolphins just one day into the team's training camp. The more severe incident involved offensive tackle Bayron Matos, who was airlifted to a local medical center after suffering an injury near the end of the Dolphins' first practice session. Matos remains in stable condition, according to the team, but the extent of his injury is currently unknown. But Matos was not the only player to leave the Baptist Health Training Complex unscathed, and it has the Dolphins organization fearing for the worst. Veteran cornerback Artie Burns reportedly left the practice facility on crutches after suffering a knee injury, according to the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson. ESPN's Adam Schefter later learned from a source that the Dolphins fear Burns may have torn his ACL. Burns is expected to undergo an MRI scan and receive a second opinion to confirm the severity of his injury. Should he receive a positive diagnosis, it would not be his first rodeo when it comes to recovering from a torn ACL, as a similar injury caused him to miss the entire 2020 season. Burns joined the Miami Dolphins organization as a free agent this offseason, inking a one-year, $1,355,000 deal with the team on March 19. He was expected to serve as a veteran presence in the Dolphins' cornerback room, which features a number of third, second, and first-year players. A nine-year NFL veteran, Burns was originally selected with the No. 25 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. He previously played for the Pittsburgh Steelers (2016-2019), Chicago Bears (2020-2021), and Seattle Seahawks (2022-2024). Burns has appeared in 90 total games, logging 199 tackles, four interceptions, and 38 passes defended during that span.
