Ok so you might not be familiar with who Miles Teller is exactly, but he's best known for playing the lead role in Whiplash, an Oscar winning movie about drumming. 

However, turns out Miles is a bit of a douche and the good people of the Internet are not impressed. 

The headline of the article: "Miles Teller Is Young, Talented, and Doesn't Give a Rat's Ass What You Think" was our first indication that there might be something a bit arrogant about the whole thing, and my god were we right. 

According to the magazine Esquire Miles is on a "quest for greatness" which apparently involves a bit of "di*keshness" too. 

Some of the best quotes from the article include: 

"You're sitting across from Miles Teller at the Luminary restaurant in Atlanta and trying to figure out if he's a d**k. 

You've just told him, by way of making conversation, that according to legend the champagne coupe in your hand is shaped like Marie Antoinette's left breast, and he tells you the highball glass is modeled after his c**k. Then he tells the waitress the same thing"

In fairness to him, he's done his fair share of good work so far in career including this summer's Fantastic Four and the Divergent series.

The part of the interview that has really got on people's nerves though is when he starts to explain how he is better looking than people think he is.  

"I was thinking about that today, how I probably think I'm better-looking than the public thinks I am," he says with a laugh, like it's funny that he's willed himself into a higher tier of male beauty through limitless confidence. "

If he plans on becoming the next Shia LaBeouf, he's right on track.

JK Simmons may have won an Oscar for his role as the terrifying and abusive Terrence Fletcher in Whiplash, but last night he proved he's a softie at heart.

The star was accepting the award for Best Supporting Actor when he begged viewers everywhere to call their parents and tell them how loved they are.

"If I may, call your mom, call your dad" the Juno star told the audience last night. "If you're lucky enough to have parents, or two, alive on this planet, call them. Don't text, don't email, call them on the phone, tell them you love them and thank them and listen to them for as long as they want to talk to you."

JK dedicated the award to his wife Michelle Schumacher, telling her, "I'm grateful for your love, your kindness, your wisdom, your sacrifice and your patience."

He also gave a shoutout to his two kids, Joe and Olivia, telling them they were "extraordinary." What an amazing dad/husband/person!

Twitter was soon awash with viewers (and stars) gushing about their mums and dads:

Speaking to reporters afterward, JK said he was "somewhat taken aback" by the response to his emotional speech. So lovely!
