According to the New York Daily News, "A Steady Rain" co-stars Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig (sporting a handlebar mustache) checked out Colin Hay's set at the Hiro Ballroom on Saturday night in New York City.

According to the Mail on Sunday, Daniel's stepbrother, Phillip Blond, has become an advisor for UK Conservative leader David Cameron.

Phillip, who is two years older than Daniel, is the son of painter and art gallery owner Max Blond. Max married Daniel's mother 15 years ago.
