Якщо в кровотік із зубів та ясен потраплять шкідливі бактерії, це може призвести до накопичення жиру в судинах, які ведуть до серця. В результаті з часом артерії можуть стати жорсткими та забитися, а це підвищує ризик виникнення серцевих нападів та інсультів. У ході одного наукового дослідження фахівці з’ясували, що між хворобою ясен та хворобою Альцгеймера […]
A FORMER Eastenders regular has revealed that he’s moving on from his time on the square and is taking on a gritty new role.
Max Bowden, who played Ben Mitchell in Eastenders, announced the news on his socials.
He’s going to be taking up the role of Rico Rizzo in a musical version of the 1965 novel and 1969 film Midnight Cowboy.
The novel was written by James Leo Herlihy and follows a pair of down on their luck hustlers in gritty 1960s New York.
Max appears in a poster for the musical alongside co-star Paul Jacob French who has appeared in west end shows like Grease and An Officer and a Gentleman.
The former Eastender can be seen embodying his character, who was famously played by Dustin Hoffman in the multi-Oscar winning film adaptation.
He’s huddled in a large overcoat and woolly hat looking very much the down and out that he will portray.
Max is used to gritty drama on Albert Square but Midnight Cowboy will push things even further as the story tackles the harsh reality of survival.
The story follows desperate Rico “Ratso” Rizzo and Joe Buck, take on a series of risky and dangerous schemes to make money including turning to prostitution.
The film adaption gave us Hoffman’s iconic line: “I’m Walkin’ here”. Which he apparently came up with on the spur of the moment when a taxi ran a red light during their filming in the big apple.
Max has performed in online based plays like Birdsong and The Hauting of Alice Bowles and his new musical project will be a far cry from the his time as a mechanic in the Arches.
His award winning stint on Eastenders stretched from 2019 until he left last year after bosses decided not to renew his contract.
Following that decision Max was recorded by a fan claiming he was: “so f*****g excited to get out” as he posed for photos with fans.
It seems that Max is now keen to start a new chapter as he excitedly announced his new role on his Instagram page.
He said: “Super excited to be bringing the world premier of Midnight Cowboy the musical to Southwark playhouse – playing the iconic role of Rico “Ratso” Rizzo, alongside an amazing cast. Buzzing for this one”
You can see the Midnight Cowboy musical at the Southwalk Playhouse April 4 – May 17th.
REAL MADRID’S Champions League clash with Brest was delayed by around five minutes due to flares let off by supporters.
Smoke from the flares severely affected visibility, with kick-off pushed back to allow it to clear.
After a delay of around five minutes the match was able to finally get underway.
Ligue 1 side Brest are enjoying their first ever European campaign.
But they have not been able to play matches at their Stade Francis-Le Ble home, as it does not meet Uefa regulations.
Instead they have had to host Europe’s elite at Stade de Roudourou in Guingamp, around 70 miles away.
Despite the distance, their supporters have done their best to make the 19,033-capacity stadium home for their European games.

ARSENAL boss Mikel Arteta should not give up hope of winning the Premier League, according to David Luiz.
Liverpool chief Arne Slot is ahead in this year’s race, while Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City bagged the previous four titles.
Luiz, who won the Prem while at Chelsea, played for the Gunners under Arteta before leaving in 2021.
And he said: “Arsenal haven’t won the league already because there are other amazing clubs such as City.
“Guardiola has turned City into a machine but also Liverpool now with the new coach are amazing.
“Arsenal have to keep fighting . . . maybe one day Chelsea and Arsenal are gonna win the Premier League again.
“The mentality has to continue this way, with ambition. That’s how you achieve something special.”
Brazilian Luiz believes keeping ‘world-class’ captain Martin Odegaard fit is vital to Arsenal’s hopes.
He said: “Martin has grown a lot and is now a world-class player. He’s an amazing person and he’s turned into a great leader.”
And Luiz loves how a fellow Brazilian central defender has blossomed under Arteta.
