Earlier in the year Ora confirmed that she is working on her third studio album and promised fans something different than she has done before.
In other news, Ora’s partner Taika Waititi has spoken out about the photo which surfaced showing him acting affectionally towards Ora and ‘Thor’ actress Tessa Thompson. The Oscar Winning director spoke with The Sydney Morning Herald concerning the photo. In the interview he was asked if the leaked photo upset him, to which he replied: “Not really, I think in the world of the internet, everything goes away pretty quick. And also, ‘is it that big a deal? No, not really. I was doing nothing wrong. It’s fine.” As the photo was published during production for the director’s new film ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’, the Bafta award winner was chastised. The Daily Telegraph previously reported that the heads at Marvel were not entirely happy with Waititi after the image went viral and stated that it was “not exactly the image they’re looking to project in relation to one of their biggest franchises”.
