John Wayne Endured ‘Punishment’ to Capture 1 of Hollywood’s Greatest Scenes – My Blog

Actor John Wayne escalated his career in Hollywood to the next level with Stagecoach. However, the movie star went through quite a difficult journey working on B-movie Western flicks with no sign of stardom. Legendary filmmaker John Ford put Wayne through the wringer while shooting Stagecoach, but it was all to achieve one of the greatest moments in filmmaking history.John Ford manipulated John Wayne on ‘Stagecoach’

Michael Munn’s John Wayne: The Man Behind the Myth explored the Stagecoach era of the actor’s career. It was a substantial moment that found him playing Ringo Kid, the protagonist who escaped from prison. However, Ford put Wayne through a rough time to get the best possible performance out of him.
For example, the filmmaker sabotaged the working relationship that Wayne had with co-star Andy Devine, who played Buck. There was a scene where Devine drove the stagecoach and Ford asked Wayne “What do you think of the scene?” Wayne responded that he thought it looked “phony” because the reins were loose.
Ford led Wayne right to Devine and told the actor what he thought of the scene. From then on out, there was always tension between the two actors.

Wayne regularly dealt with bullying tactics from Ford, and not only on Stagecoach. However, he always looked up to the filmmaker and accepted the behavior. But, that isn’t to say that Wayne accepted that behavior from anybody else.‘Stagecoach’ actor John Wayne faced ‘punishment’ to get the perfect introduction shot of Ringo Kid
Actor Claire Trevor, who played Dallas, told Munn that things changed after Wayne completed filming Stagecoach. Ford decided to reshoot the one scene where Ringo is first introduced, where the camera tracks into a close-up. He cocks his gun and yells, “Hold it!”
“Ford told me he decided to reshoot Duke’s opening shot because by then, after all the punishment he’d put Wayne through, Duke had exactly the look of pain with the innocence underneath which would establish the Ringo Kid,” Trevor said.
This scene would go down as one of the most iconic sequences in moviemaking history. However, Munn broke down its imperfections, such as the fact that it was shot in a studio rather than on-location in Monument Valley. Additionally, the picture goes out of focus. Nevertheless, it had an impact on audiences.The actor’s career was never the same again
Wayne would see his life change forever after making Stagecoach. It made him a notable Western movie star, but the film wasn’t meant to be a vehicle for the actor. Rather, it was an ensemble piece that featured its various characters. Nevertheless, audiences connected most with Wayne as Ringo, and they continue to do so in modern times.
He went on to star in many other Ford pictures, such as The Quiet Man and The Searchers, which also went down in history for their iconic status. Wayne would finally earn his Oscar for his brilliant work in True Grit. However, many of his fans were surprised not to see him get a nomination for his final dramatic role in The Shootist.

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’.

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.
