James Arness claimed that Ford’s Gunsmoke injury was the “first wounding of the action actor” in his long career – My Blog

Actor Harrison Ford made a handful of appearances on Western television series, including Gunsmoke. He would later become one of the highest-grossing American actors. Ford earned an Oscar nomination for his leading performance in 1985’s Witness, but his franchise involvement in Star Wars and Indiana Jones truly set him in another league. However, his long line of on-set injuries started early on in his career with incidents like the one on CBS’ Gunsmoke.

Ford appeared on Gunsmoke on two separate occasions over the course of his career. The first was playing Print in 1972 and again in 1973 as Hobey. Season 18 episode 11 was called “The Sodbusters,” which aired on Nov. 20, 1972. The story follows a farm owner named Clarabelle Callahan (Katherine Justice), who has the rights to the local water supply. Violent rancher Lamoor Underwood (Morgan Woodward) brings in a gunslinger to settle things, which sets a series of lethal events in motion. Ford played antagonist Print, who got shot twice.
He made another appearance on Gunsmoke Season 18 Episode 20, which was called “Whelan’s Men,” which aired on Feb. 5, 1973. The plot tells the story of Dan Whelan (Robert Burr) and his gang of outlaws, who have a plan to kill U.S. Marshal Matt Dillon (James Arness) and take over Dodge City. This time, Ford played Hobey, who faced Miss Kitty Russell (Amanda Blake) in a game of poker.
Arness wrote about his experience working with guest stars on Gunsmoke over the years in his book, James Arness: An Autobiography. He clearly remembered having the opportunity to work with Ford, who became a substantial Hollywood movie star years later. After all, he liked the idea of bringing fresh faces, like Ford, onto Gunsmoke to keep the show from growing stale. Other big names included Bette Davis, Charles Bronson, Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, and Bruce Dern.

However, Ford ultimately incurred quite an injury while filming Gunsmoke. According to Arness, the movie star “fell on his gun during shooting, and knocked out several of his teeth.” He went to the dentist, who was able to help fix the problem to make it look like nothing ever happened. It clearly worked because this was before he launched into Hollywood stardom.
Arness claimed that Ford’s Gunsmoke injury was the “first wounding of the action actor” in his long career.
Ford would continue to injure himself while filming other projects, which went far beyond his Gunsmoke appearances. According to Newsweek, he had enough injuries from Star Wars to Indiana Jones to put together a timeline of them. The actor enjoyed performing many of his own stunts, but most actors tend to leave that work to professional stuntpeople.
For example, he “bruised his ribs” and “tore his right ACL” on Raiders of the Lost Ark and fractured his ankle on Star Wars: The Force Awakens. A more recent injury was on Indiana Jones 5, where Ford sustained a shoulder injury during a fight sequence.

Sydney Sweeney hits back at horrific body shaming comments on viral pictures with incredible response

Sydney Sweeney has posted an Instagram video which included body shaming comments

Sydney Sweeney has hit back at horrific body shaming comments she’s received online with an incredible response.

For famous faces, social media can be an extremely toxic place, and it’s why we’ve seen some celebrities reduce their online presence as a result.

Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has become the subject of body shaming comments in recent times, and she responded to these on Instagram in the best possible way.

The actor posted a shot clip that began with screenshots of a bunch of body shaming comments she’s received online, including some calling her ‘quite frumpy’, ‘very chunky’ and ‘tubby’.

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell discuss chemistry
After many screenshots of horrible comments were shown on screen, the video cut to Sweeney in her training gear at the gym.

The video cut to a sign that said ‘hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard’ as Sweeney worked hard with a trainer, struck a punching bag and even flipped a large tire in what looked like an extremely intense workout.

Many have flocked to the comments section of the Instagram video to praise Sweeney for her response to the trolls.

“I will never understand the hate in people‘s hearts when it comes to leaving comments like this,” one person commented.

A second added: “Ngl why do people feel entitled to talk about someone’s body specially someone you don’t personally know,” while a third remarked: “No one has the right or reason to make comments on anyones body, ever.”

Meanwhile, Lili Reinhart penned: “It’s always wild to see people publicly out themselves as pieces of shit with comments like that. You look incredible and your dedication to your project is very inspiring.”

The video actually concluded with the name ‘Christy Martin’ being shown on the screen, which is a nod to Sweeney’s upcoming biopic where she plays a famed female boxer.

Boxing fans will likely know Martin is a is a former professional boxer who earned herself the WBC female super welterweight title in 2009.

Sweeney has spoken previously about her process of getting into her movie character, telling The Los Angeles Times in March that she’s a ‘very hands-on collaborator’.

“I like being able to give ideas, be a part of it, help come up with solutions. It just changes the whole process,” she said.

Sweeney continued: “It’s so hard for me now to be on a set and not be able to help in any type of way and be able to take action. And being able to actually have a voice and have a valued opinion—it means so much.”

‘Australia’s most sexually active woman’ reveals outrageous bedroom goal for 2025

A woman who has been dubbed the “most sexually active woman” in Australia has set her sights on a big goal for 2025.

You’ve probably heard of Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips attempting to break outrageous records in the bedroom – and Annie Knight has now thrown her hat into the ring too.

“When I watched that clip of Lily crying and everyone was saying, ‘Oh my god, this poor girl,’ I just thought, well, she’s been getting railed all day by 100 different guys… imagine putting your body through that,” Knight told Metro.

“Yes, it’s emotionally taxing, but isn’t that like any job?” she added. “Everyone has moments where they’re like, ‘I don’t know if I can do this anymore.’ You do get really stressed. She’d be exhausted; her body would be exhausted. When you’re tired, your emotions are high.”

Knight also noted that some of the men involved in Phillips’ session were reportedly rude to her, emphasizing that dealing with negativity can be challenging in any profession.
