He won an Oscar at age 27—and 18 years later, so did she. Together they are a killer pair in Jason Bourne, Damon's fourth film as the titular toughspy assassin—but this time, he's joined by Vikander as a CIA tech prodigy who may or may not be on Bourne's side. People recently caught up with the friendly costars at one of the film's flashier filming locales: Las Vegas. The Bourne Identity was released 14 years ago. How did the role change your career, Matt? DAMON Nobody had ever offered me an action movie. Nobody saw me that way. I'd been in Good Will Hunting, The Talented Mr. Ripley and Saving Private Ryan, but I was not an action person. My friends and family were nervous when the first one came…

Missy Lanning couldn't wait to get pregnant. "I wanted to document every second of it," the California native says of starting her blog Bumps Along the Way in 2011. "But I had no idea how many bumps there'd be." In 2012 Missy and her husband, Bryan, suffered through a miscarriage just nine weeks into her first pregnancy. Less than a year later, their son was stillborn at 19 weeks. "I thought I might never be a mom, but my pain gave me a purpose to keep sharing my story," says Missy, whose blog has spawned two successful YouTube channels (see caption). "I wanted other women to know they aren't alone." Ultimately the couple welcomed son Oliver James in July 2013 after an emergency cesarean section and his younger brother Finley…

The actress, 56, stars alongside Ellen Page in Tallulah, now streaming on Netflix. You play Margo, a troubled mom, in the film—are there any similarities between her and your Mom character, Bonnie? I've played a lot of hot mess moms—I love playing messy characters, and they all happen to be mothers. But they're extremely different women. Bonnie isn't very self-aware, but she's hilarious and doesn't care what anybody thinks. Margo cares too much about what others think. You recently reprised your West Wing role at a White House press briefing for the Correspondents' Dinner. Was it fun? Our [fake] press briefing room was configured exactly the same way, so it felt strangely comfortable. But I got very nervous! After seven wins, how does it feel to be nominated for two…

Wentworth Miller was busy prepping for his role in the hotly anticipated reboot of Fox's Prison Break this March when he came upon an unpleasant image. It was a cruel Internet meme showing two Wentworth Millers: one, 10 years ago, in peak physical condition; the other, an unflattering 2010 paparazzo photo of him after he'd gained weight. For the actor, 44, who had battled depression and compulsive eating and came out as gay in 2013, the caption was a gut punch: "When you break out of prison and find out about McDonald's Monopoly." Realizing the image had gone viral, Miller took to Facebook and wrote a candid and emotional essay detailing the reasons for the weight gain that earned him such mockery: His dependence on food for comfort was the…

I'm sure he would have accomplished so many more great things with his life, both public and private. Nikki Nelson Olmsted Falls, Ohio I always thought that John F. Kennedy Jr. would make a great President, just like his father. Even after all these years, it still hurts me that he is gone.

Last time I danced I do love dancing. I'm not a very good dancer, but it's a nice stress-reliever for sure. I'll do it wherever, by myself in a hotel room, in my trailer before a day of work, anywhere really. Last time I was nervous I feel like I get nervous all the time. I try to not let it have so much power over me. I'll just think, I'm sitting here right now, and in a few minutes, I'll be somewhere else. Last DIY I'm horrible at all things like that. I basically have no skills to offer on any level. My girlfriend [artist Samantha Thomas] is definitely more of the DIY-er. She's pretty much good at all things. I just stand there and "supervise." Last time I…
