James Arness :When I was in the war and at the front lines, though, I didn’t worry because there wasn’t any time for anything but trying to stay alive the same holds true when you’re working on the set

Actor James Arness initially had some difficulty breaking into acting before he landed Gunsmoke. However, it was a happy accident that he landed on the career path at all. After all, it started when the theater recruited him to give acting a chance. Arness initially enjoyed it, but he found working on Gunsmoke to be incredibly difficult. He compared it to what it was like for him to fight on the front line in World War II.

Arness was brought on to play U.S. Marshal Matt Dillon in Gunsmoke after CBS had already cast Amanda Blake as Miss Kitty. They had outstanding chemistry that radiated on-screen. The leading actor found Matt to be an incredibly rewarding role, even though it brought a lot of hardship along with it.
According to TV Radio Life, Arness said that he “can’t have any complaints about what Matt Dillon has done for me – or to me. He’s been nothing but good to me.” He added that he had to turn down some feature film roles for the demands of a television show. However, Arness acknowledged that without Gunsmoke, there wouldn’t be film roles for him to turn down in the first place.
The actor explained that the big problem with continuing to play Matt is finding ways to “keep him fresh and alive. You have to continue creating if you don’t want to stagnate.” In this sense, he called himself a “worrier” and a “perfectionist.”

James Arness said playing Matt Dillon on ‘Gunsmoke’ was like fighting on the front lines
Arness told TV Radio Life that these thoughts with Gunsmoke reminded him of his time when he served in World War II. He was drafted into the U.S. Army, where he got wounded in his right leg during the Battle of Anzio. The actor compared the life or death situation with working on the popular Western television series, especially as it applied to his habit of worrying.
“When I was in the war and at the front lines, though, I didn’t worry because there wasn’t any time for anything but trying to stay alive,” Arness said. “The same holds true when you’re working on the set – you have no time for thinking of anything but your job. But when I’m preparing a script, I get worried. And I think this is all right. Anybody who doesn’t worry must lead a sterile kind of life. It’s all a natural part of life – or so I believe.”
The “uncertain” aspect of the business is why Arness loved to star in Gunsmoke. He enjoyed not having to have a planned schedule of what the future held. Rather, he liked having the “element of chance” that allowed him to freely live his life. “In short, your life is not all figured out for you,” Arness summed up.

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.
