Zoe Saldana has starred in the top three highest-grossing movies of all time.

The first Avatar movie, the second Avatar movie, and Avengers Endgame.

Plus, she's shown up in other lucrative franchises, Guardians of the Galaxy and Star Trek.

But it was the box office receipts for Avatar Fire and Ash that pushed her ahead of Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson as the world's highest-grossing star.

In the Avatar movies, Saldana plays a blue-skinned member of a forest tribe on a faraway planet.

This is the Great Mother's plan.

Saldana is also the first actress who has starred in four movies that each pulled in more than $2 billion globally.

You would not mistake South Korean President Lee Chae-myung or Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takeichi for boy or girl band idols.

The two world leaders grinned in matching blue jackets while enthusiastically drumming along to K-pop hits in a video posted on social media by the Japanese Prime Minister's office.

That's Sanae Takeuchi complimenting her South Korean counterpart on his excellent drumming skills.

The performance was intended to illustrate the felicitous relationship between the two countries in a period of increasing global unrest.
