Matthew confirmed the split when approached, saying: ‘She’s a wonderful and amazing girl, she’s utterly gorgeous. Whoever gets to be with her, whether famous or not, is a lucky man.Ā Ā
‘It’s such a pity it ended. I was so lucky to be in her attendance for a bit. It was on and off for a long time and it eventually ended without any arguments. We are still friends but we aren’t in regular touch any more.’Ā
She wed Ā£180 billion PayPal and Tesla tycoon Elon in 2010. They divorced two years later, remarried in 2013 and split again in 2016.Ā
At the time, Elon said: ‘We took some time apart for several months to see if absence makes the heart grow fonder, and unfortunately it did not.’
Diminutive Thomas’s star is in the ascendant since his acclaimed role in Netflix chess drama The Queen’s Gambit in 2020.
Ā Based on Steve Jones’ 2018 memoir Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol, the series from Academy Award-winner Boyle, who also serves as Executive Producer and director, was created by Craig Pearce and written by Pearce and Frank Cottrell Boyce.
In a statement confirming the series last January, Nick Grad, President, Original Programming, FX Entertainment, said: ‘It’s great to be back in business with Danny Boyle, an exceptional artist responsible for so many great feature films and TV series.
‘Steve Jones was at the centre of the storm that shook the rock establishment and we’re thrilled to have Danny and the rest of the creative team tell his story as a member of one of music’s most notorious bands – the Sex Pistols.’Ā Ā
Boyle added: ‘Imagine breaking into the world of The Crown and Downton Abbey with your mates and screaming your songs and your fury at all they represent. This is the moment that British society and culture changed forever.’
‘It is the detonation point for British street culture…where ordinary young people had the stage and vented their fury and their fashionā¦and everyone had to watch & listenā¦and everyone feared them or followed them.
Here we go:Ā The raw energy of punk is reenacted in all its nihilistic glory in the first trailer for Danny Boyle’s eagerly anticipated Sex Pistols biopicĀ
Coming soon:Ā Fans have been given an early taste of what to expect from the appropriately titled Pistol, a six-part drama set to air on digital channel FX later this year
‘The Sex Pistols. At its centre was a young charming illiterate kleptomaniac – a hero for the times – Steve Jones, who became in his own words, the 94th greatest guitarist of all time. This is how he got there.’
Anchored by Jones’ memoir, which offers a fascinating new perspective on one of rock’s greatest ever stories, Pistol moves from West London’s council estates, to Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren’s notorious Kings Road SEX shop, to the international controversy that came with the release of Never Mind the B*llocks.Ā Ā
Their single God Save the Queen was banned by the BBC and reached Number 1 on the UK’s NME chart, but appeared at Number 2 on the Official UK Singles chart, leading to accusations that the song was purposely kept off the top spot.
Boyle has had an acclaimed TV and movie career. His 2008 film Slumdog Millionaire was nominated for ten Academy Awards and won eight, including the Academy Award for Best Director.
His new series will also star Louis Partridge as Sid Vicious, Christian Lees as Glen Matlock, Anson Boon as Johnny Rotten and Emma Appleton as Nancy Spungen.
Pistol is set for release on FX in the US and Disny+ in the UK on May 31.
