John Wayne expressed his attitude regarding the house in Newport Beach , he ‘sure as hell couldn’t afford ‘ Later . – My Blog

John Wayne is an American legend who remains one of the few timeless faces of the Western film genre. He finally won the only Oscar of his career for 1969’s True Grit, but he has over 180 acting credits to his name. However, the actor was always unapologetically himself. Wayne also expressed this attitude regarding his Newport Beach home, which he said he “sure as hell couldn’t afford” if he tried to purchase it later.

John Wayne sold his 5-acre ranch in Encino : Wayne once entertained his Hollywood friends in his Encino home, which was a five-acre ranch. It was a corner lot offering stunning views. However, Wayne eventually fell in love with the Newport Beach area and decided to make the move there. He sold the home to the oldest daughter of Walt Disney in 1966.
Wayne lived in the Encino home at 4750 Louise Avenue along with his wife, Pilar, and their three children. However, it went under construction in 2006 to build a huge multi-story residence in its place. This location will always be an iconic piece of history in Wayne’s history, but he moved into a home that he truly loved.
Architectural Digest reported on Wayne’s Newport Beach home. It had a large, older station wagon parked near the front entrance. Location is everything, and Wayne’s home was at the water’s edge facing Balboa Island. Architectural Digest describes the home itself as “simple and unpretentious … There is nothing to suggest that this is the private world of a superstar, the home of an American legend.”

At the time of Wayne’s home tour, he already lived in Newport Beach for 14 years. Ever since then, real estate prices skyrocketed. “I’m glad I came down here to live 14 years ago,” Wayne said. “I sure as hell couldn’t afford it now.”
The largest room in Wayne’s Newport Beach home was the study. It had paneling, a fireplace, a collection of guns, Western American art, and American Indian artifacts. He had memorabilia covering the room, including photographs and plaques marking the most notable moments from his film career.
Wayne’s home included a wall he called the “50 years of hard Work Wall,” where he kept awards, including his lead actor Oscar for True Grit. This is also where he kept photographs of his great friendships, including with John Ford, Henry Fonda, and Ward Bond.
Wayne collected his furniture and art from the various places he filmed his movies over the course of 30 years. This includes furniture from Madrid, porcelain jardinieres from Honolulu, and antiques from Colorado Springs. Venturing into such shops is how he spent his downtime on movie sets.
“There is a porcelain table with a pedestal base, now on the terrace at Newport Beach, that he found in one of the poorest sections of Puerto Vallarta,”

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.
