The story we have for you today also has a similar theme. A young Hollywood actor who was beloved by millions or women around the world, decided there is more to life than the silver screen.

This is not a new theme in the world of entertainment. Keep reading to know more about what happened.

He famously appeared as a child actor on “Growing Pains,” and from there on out, he became one of the most popular actors of the 1980s. He was a regular feature on the covers of teen magazines. While it seemed he had it all, he was grappling with the reality of being a young star in Hollywood, and to him, it was not all that enticing.

Young Kirk Cameron did not intend to become an actor, in fact he wanted to be a doctor. His dream was to be a surgeon but his career took a completely different path when his mother who after being encouraged by a friend, introduced her young son to acting. His sister, Candace Cameron Bure is also an actress who has been acting since she was a child! She is best know for her role in Full House.

The friend was actually fellow child star Adam Rich’s mother. Rich was widely known for his role in ‘Eight is Enough.’ She suggest her friend take her son to agents and try their luck for commercials. His mother reluctantly followed the advice but it ended up going well for them since Cameron started looking small roles. Among some of his first acting gigs was a commercial for McDonald’s. While Cameron did not enjoy acting, he was consistently getting offers.

“I was always annoyed having to brush my hair and tuck my shirt in to go drive an hour in traffic to audition,” he revealed later about his early days of stardom. Despite the fact that he himself was not enthusiastic about acting, he soon got his role as Mike Seaver in “Growing Pains,” and the rest was history.

But he was struggling internally whether Hollywood was where he needed to be. And then he had something call to him; his faith.

When he was growing up, his family was not religious. The actor said, “When I was growing up, we didn’t go to church.”

“If you had asked me, I would have said I would be in the category of an atheist at 16 years old, 17 years old,” he surprisingly revealed later.

“I think I caught my atheism—it was by contagion,” he shared, he was referring to his teachers who taught him science and other subjects and regarded religion as “just a fairy tale.”

A chance encounter made the young boy reconsider his relationship with faith.

He met a girl he liked, and she asked him to attend church with her and her family. “I’ll be honest. It wasn’t because I was interested in God. I was interested in the girl,” he later admitted in a conversation.

However the visit to the church changed his life and the impact of it was even visible to his friends in Hollywood.The 17-year-old’s real-life experience with his faith began to influence how he approached his role in “Growing Pains.” The show runners and his co-stars did not let this change go unnoticed.

The producers worried that the young boy’s new found devotion to his faith would affect how he would approach the show and in turn affect the show and its longevity itself.

“Is he getting into something that’s really gonna take him into Looney Town? And if it is, we need to stop that,” he recalled what the concerns surrounding him at the time had been..

“I was trying to take the moral high road. I wanted to please God genuinely, and I think sometimes that got misunderstood,” he says now. His priorities however had taken a major shift and people around him were concerned.

His heart slowly began to dislike his life in Hollywood. The actor later recalled, “The evil, the darkness, the twisted sickness of Hollywood has been going on for a long time.”

His personal dialogue coach from the show, Brian Peck, has since then been highlighted for his role in the abuse doled out to young child stars in the industry. He was heavily featured as a perpetrator in a recent documentary uncovering crimes.

All of this reinforced Cameron’s initial thoughts that Hollywood was driven by power, pride, and ego. When he was younger, these realizations are what made him give up his promising acting career.

He became more steadfast in his faith, believing this is what would protect him. “When that becomes your God, rather than the God who laid down His life on a cross 2,000 years ago, you’re in for a world of hurt,” he shared.

He was only 20 when he married his “Growing Pains” co-star Chelsea Noble. Cameron had officially left Hollywood in his past and the two started building their life together. The couple have six children together, four of whom are adopted.

Adoption is something him and his wife both care deeply about as she herself had been adopted. They always made sure their adopted kids knew about their origins and helped them reconnect with their biological families when they were old enough to understand everything.

In 2021, Cameron revealed his intention to leave not just Hollywood but California itself behind. He took to social media to share his decision. He said, “I asked on social media what states people recommend for a Californian looking to relocate, and the top responses were Tennessee, Florida, and Texas,” he posted on Facebook.

Cameron shared how he thought California had increasingly grown unsafe and he wanted a place with more “wholesome values.”

He moved to Tennessee because three of his children also lived there. This gave the family an opportunity to be together as well. The family also enjoys the slower pace of life that Tennesse offers them. He also enjoyed the “healthy freedom mindset” that Tennessee provided them with, which was something he felt did not exist in California.

He also think that Tennessee is a “hub for Christian projects.” Cameron was able to be close to family which really paid off when he became a grandfather in summer 2024. He shared the news of his granddaughter Maya Jeanne Noble Bower to social media.

“Our hearts are filled to overflowing,” he wrote in his post. “Our beautiful baby girl just had a beautiful baby girl, and we can hardly wait to spend every minute with her and shower her with love.”

Apart from his new real life role as a grandfather, Cameron also continued his work as an actor. In 2022 he released his film ‘Lifemark’ which highlighted the beauty of life and adoption. The project was a personal passion for him as four of his own children are adopted as well as his wife’s own personal history with being an adopted child.

It is heartwarming to see Kirk Cameron fulfill his passions both professionally and personally. Share this with other fans of the actor so they can know what he has been up to!

Donald and Melania Trump don’t often show their love for each other in public. On election night in November last year, one body language even claimed that Melania didn’t look happy for her husband’s win, while rumors about their marriage not being strong have been ongoing for years.

However, during Inauguration Day on Monday, things were different. Melania was seen smiling and holding her husband’s hand, and the couple even exchanged kisses on the cheek. One body language expert concluded that their behavior has marked a significant shift in Donald and Melania’s relationship, even if it wasn’t all positive throughout the day.

One body language expert noticed something special during Donald and Melania Trump’s dance at the inauguration ball; it seemed as if the First Lady’s behavior was awkward for one specific reason.

Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 47th President of the United States was, as every inauguration before it, grand. Although it was too cold to see him sworn in outside, the former real estate mogul officially took his oath of office inside the US Capitol Rotunda, with his family at his side for the entire day.

Melania Trump’s to-be-or-not-to-be as a second-term first lady has been discussed for years. Initially, when the Trump’s left the White House the first time, it was reported that returning was the last thing she wanted.

However, with Trump set to begin his second presidential election campaign, Melania publicly showed her support for her husband, stating that she would love to return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Still, when Donald announced his presidential election win in November, it appeared she wasn’t thrilled at all.

While many saw it as a beautiful moment when Donald and Melania shared a big hug and exchanged a kiss, one body language expert was not convinced. Darren Stanton stated that Melania was reluctant to walk to her husband on stage to celebrate the presidential election win, claiming there was “no closeness.”

Why Melania Trump was claimed to be “unhappy” on election day

“When Trump looks back at Melania and gestures to her to come over for a hug, she reluctantly comes forward,” Stanton told the Mirror. “It’s very disjointed and awkward, and there’s no emotion from her. We don’t see any genuine smiles from Melania, it feels like a smile she has adopted for the occasion.”

Stanton continued: “There’s not the level of emotion you’d expect given her husband has just been elected president. It’s all quite contrived, she’s just reluctant to show any emotion, there’s no real happiness or joy. There’s always an awkwardness with Melania.”

Melania attended her husband’s last rallies in the lead up to the presidential election. Since the win in November, she and Donald have been preparing to move into the White House again. On January 20, the Trump family celebrated as Donald was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, and it appeared that the relationship between the new POTUS and FLOTUS was better than ever.

Speaking to the Mirror, body language expert Judi James noticed that Donald spent much of the inauguration clutching his wife’s hand or, as she described, “taking it like some Regency gentleman, kissing her proffered cheek or even gazing at her as they danced together like a man in the throes of some romantic thrall.”

The First Lady’s outfits will always likely be a big talking point, and it proved no different for the inauguration. According to Judi James, Melania’s outfit was crucial in sending a message about what kind of first lady she would be.

Melania Trump showed “power signals” on Inauguration Day

“Her saucer- shaped hat and her fiercely-tailored coat twinned her as an equal to Trump and a woman who means business this time around. Beneath the brim her smile was regal and confident, while her eyes were kept hidden,” James said.

“During tricky social moments, like when they were seeing the Biden’s off after Trump’s flame-thrower of a speech, Melania seemed to make her own feelings very clear when Biden placed an arm around her waist for a full ten seconds and she turned away towards her husband with one elbow splayed as she held onto her hat brim. As Trump leaned in to shake hands with Biden she placed her own arm around Trump’s waist for several seconds and patted him in a gesture of reward and reassurance.”

Body language expert James stated that Melania’s “power signals” have increased. She added that the First Lady’s warm smile showed “an air of relaxed confidence.”

“As they leave the service, Donald and Melania amplify their clasped hands into a more pronounced display of unity. Trump lifts the clasp higher a few times, almost waving it as they walk towards their car, as though signaling both pride in his wife and a gentlemanly concern for her as they step off the curb,” James told the Mirror.

“Trump’s expression is familiar – the slightly stern, almost baleful look that mirrors his official portrait. Melania, in contrast, seems determined to inject a touch of celebration into the occasion. Though her eyes are shielded by the brim of her hat, her wide, toothy smile creates an air of relaxed confidence.”

Melania was “protected from criticism by hiding her expression,” expert claims

Melania said she was much more prepared to enter the White House this time around, so it makes sense to assume that she will approach things differently. According to another body language expert, Inbaal Honigman, her behavior was different at this inauguration than in 2017.

“Melania’s body language during the 2025 inauguration is still and neutral,” Inbaal told Covers.com. “She sits still in her model pose, her facial expression neutral, not drawing any attention to herself, letting all attention be on her husband.”

He continued by saying that she appeared more “friendly.”

“In comparison, Melania of 2017 flashed smiles and waved around, displaying a more friendly persona to the crowds,” he explained. Melania’s face is naturally neutral. She doesn’t have an expressive demeanor in general and has previously been criticized for having short-lasting smiles, which she must have known.”

Honigman concluded: “This inauguration’s Melania was protected from criticism by hiding her expression behind a wide-brimmed hat so that she could keep her neutral expression with no issue.”

Donald and Melania also celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary this week. Their star-studded wedding at Bethesda-By-the-Sea took place on January 22, 2005, and there can have been few better 20th anniversary presents than getting to move back into the White House together.

The couple shared several intimate moments together during Inauguration Day, and though Melania is used to being in the spotlight, one expert, behavioral scientist Abbie Maroño, claimed to have seen something others missed.

Donald Trump and Melania’s “awkward” interaction on Inauguration Day

Speaking to Newsweek, Maroño claimed that Melania’s actions indicated discomfort with public attention.

“First Lady Melania Trump’s choice of a wide-brimmed hat appeared to serve as a barrier, complicating a moment when President Trump attempted to kiss her, resulting in an awkward air kiss. This may have been a possible means to conceal her face, indicating discomfort with the public attention. The lack of eye contact, smiles, or hand-holding between the couple, suggesting discomfort,” she said.

“At the inaugural ball, President Trump and Melania participated in the traditional first dance. Initially, both appeared tense, but the atmosphere lightened when Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha, along with military members, joined them on stage. This shift led to more relaxed interactions, with President Trump engaging warmly Melania smiling during the dance.”

As mentioned, Donald and Melania shared the first traditional dance as President and First Lady of the United States during the Inaugural Ball later on Inauguration Day. The couple had three inauguration balls to attend on the days surrounding Donald being sworn in, and the first one was the Commander-in-Chief ball.

Abbie Maroño claimed that the two had another ‘awkward’ moment. Renowned body language expert Mark Bowden noticed that Melania looked uncomfortable.

“He and Melania take a traditional ballroom hold, but the moment quickly becomes awkward. As Melania’s head springs back-likely an effort to flick her hair away from her face-it risks appearing as a sudden, terrible moment of revulsion,” Bowden told the Irish Star.

What Melania whispered to her husband during Inauguration Day ball

“Trump himself seems to misread the gesture, as his head reflexively jerks back too. In an attempt to recover, he thrusts his head forward into Melania, trying to reassert a sense of connection.”

The body language expert explained: “This shaky start leaves Trump leaning his full weight forward, while Melania manages to meet him cheek to cheek. With her wide-brimmed hat no longer serving as a barrier, the couple is closer than earlier in the day-though precariously close to the ear that once took a bullet.”

During another ball, the Liberty Ball, which was also arranged on Inauguration Day, a lip-reading expert claimed Donald whispered a heartfelt message in his wife’s ear. Jeremy Freeman spoke to the Mirror, revealing what Melania answered.

“Today is one we will never forget,” Melania said, according to Freeman, to which Donald responded, “You’re right, I’ll learn, I’ll fight.”

Melania continued to express her support for her husband with the words, “I got you,” to which Trump, according to Jeremy Freeeman, responded, “We’ll see. Will you control it? Less tricky, less pushing away?”

The First Lady answered, “It’s a no,” and Trump said, “I hear you.”

Susan Boyle captured the hearts of music lovers around the world when she first appeared on the third season of “Britain’s Got Talent” over a decade ago.

The video of her first audition when she stood in front of Simon Cowell, shy and unassuming and then blew everyone away with her rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Misérables has been watched by millions.

She gained fame, as well as earned millions of dollars through album sales. However, her journey hasn’t all been sunshine and roses, and the singer’s love life has long been the subject of rumors and speculation.

So, did Susan Boyle ever marry? Does she have a partner? And where is she living now?

It’s quite natural to stop and look in the rearview mirror as you grow older – and Susan Boyle can certainly look back on a remarkable life.

In 2008, the unemployed charity worker lived alone with her cat, Pebbles, and wanted to see if she could make it in show business. After performing I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables in front of Simon Cowell and the rest of Britain’s Got Talent judges, the 47-year-old became a star overnight.

The crazy underdog audition gained her instant recognition across the world. Even today, her journey is inspiring to millions.

“I used to be a kind of spectator looking outward at the world. But now I’m part of that world and, though frightening, I’m going to embrace it,” Boyle said after her breakthrough.

In her first year as a superstar, she made $6.8 million.

Her success continued and after the release of her second studio album, she became the third artist to top the charts in the UK and the US twice in the same year.

Overnight this unassuming and shy then 47-year-old from Scotland became an international superstar and a millionaire.

Even though her career took her around the globe and made her a multi-millionaire, Susan Boyle has always remained honest, down-to-earth, and genuinely caring.

Unlike many other celebrities, she has never flashed her cash; the humble singer still lives in her childhood home in Blackburn, Scotland.

She purchased the modest house in 2010.

”It’s best to be grounded and with your roots. It keeps you grounded and prevents you from saying things maybe you shouldn’t say,” she told OK!.

Susan Boyle was born on April 1, 1961. Her parents – Patrick Boyle, a miner, WWII veteran, and singer, and Bridget, a shorthand typist – were both immigrants from County Donegal, Ireland. Boyle grew up as the youngest of four brothers and six sisters.

The family lived in a council house in West Lothian, Scotland. Still to this day, Susan lives in that house.

She could have done anything, gone anywhere, bought a mansion in Beverly Hills, but instead, she returned to her childhood home, a four-bedroom ex-council house in Blackburn, Scotland, bought it, and turned it into the home of her dreams.

In a tour of her newly decorated abode, which she’s called home for 60 years now, she reveals her stunning new piano room which is the first thing you see when you enter her home.

She joked about her piano room as she said she’d only just started having lessons.

“That’s a giggle for a start because I can’t even do scales,” she joked.

The newly renovated kitchen used to be small and sparse with a table in the center near the oven which she said made it hazardous, but the renovation gives her a lot more space and many updates. It even has a framed photo of Susan meeting Pope Francis.

Her living room is bright and homey and full of pictures of her family. Susan is the youngest child of 7 brothers and sisters so originally her house occupied 9 people. It must feel a lot roomier now.

As you move through the home, you see her career documented in various framed awards and accolades along with many cute animal ornaments, a testament to her gentle nature and down-to-earth personality.

Upstairs Susan shows us what used to be the room she once shared with her two sisters which then became hers after her sisters left home. She recalls the record player that used to sit in the corner and how she was a huge fan of The Osmonds.

Her father died in the 1990s by which time her brothers and sisters had all left home. Susan stayed at home and cared for her elderly mother until her death in 2007 so the household’s precious memories for the superstar.

“Some people seem surprised that I choose to stay in my family home. Why shouldn’t I? I feel Mum is still here and there are so many good memories … I’ve spent most of my life in this house and I won’t move now, because I feel it’s part of my new history,” she said.

Susan has always been open about the fact that she wants to meet the love of her life and find a long-term partner. That person will of course move into her house – because Susan is not leaving.

While SuBo is patiently waiting to meet ”Mr Right”, there is something else that has been bothering her for a while. Susan has always wanted to be a mother and have children of her own.

”I’ve never had any of my own, that’s my biggest regret, but I love kids. They’re good fun to be with,” she told The Sun.

As a 60-year-old woman, time is not exactly on her side. But Susan has opened up on perhaps adopting or becoming a foster parent for children who need a safe and loving home.

“I’ve a lovely house, why not share it?” she said.

Susan’s home reminds us all that despite her overnight stardom she’s still an everyday person who chooses to live the quiet life in the only home she’s ever known.

It’s such a shame her parents couldn’t have witnessed her rise to stardom. Please share.
