Curry Barker, star of the horror-romance film 'Obsession,' revealed a personal wager tied to the movie's box office performance. Barker had initially planned to get tattoos if 'Obsession' grossed $20 million domestically, a target the film has seemingly surpassed, judging by its strong opening against major releases.
In other festival news, emerging talent Inde Navarrette, also present at TIFF, has expressed ambitions beyond acting, with plans to transition into directing. Navarrette's directorial aspirations signal a growing trend of actors seeking to expand their creative roles within the film industry.
