John Wayne Had a Hilarious Response to a Journalist Intruding on His Conversation With a Former Japanese Emperor – My Blog

Movie star John Wayne drew the attention of many international figures, including former Japanese Emperor Hirohito. Various prominent figures didn’t all share positive sentiments for him, but none of them questioned his star power with American moviegoers. Emperor Hirohito and Wayne had a private conversation that a journalist asked about, although the Western legend wasn’t having any of it.John Wayne drew international attention

Wayne first hit the silver screen in a leading role in Raoul Walsh’s The Big Trail in 1930, but it bombed at the box office. As a result, he wouldn’t see his first glowing success until 1939’s Stagecoach. It was an ensemble piece that still allowed him to shine. The Western adventure was one of many collaborations that the movie star had with legendary filmmaker John Ford.
Many critics didn’t consider Wayne a real actor at the time, believing that he was only playing himself in every role he appeared in. Nevertheless, his major successes, like Sands of Iwo Jima, earned him an Oscar nomination and further international awareness. Wayne became a global superstar whose presence demanded attention.
Wayne further cemented his stardom at the prestigious 1970 Academy Awards, where he won Best Actor in a Leading Role for his stunning performance in True Grit. However, many of his fans believed that he deserved an Oscar nomination for his final performance as J.B. Books in 1976’s The Shootist, which hit a little too close to home for many.John Wayne met former Japanese Emperor Hirohito

Wayne had such a monumental status in Hollywood and beyond that Hirohito put meeting the movie star at the top of his list when he visited the United States in 1975. He considered the actor a symbolic representation of America, his country’s former enemy during World War II.
According to Cowboys & Indians, Wayne recalled the war movies that he made up to that point of his career. He was surprised to recall the body count and said, “I must have killed off the entire Japanese army.”
The official Wayne Twitter account shared a funny story with his fans regarding the movie star’s meeting with Hirohito. The two men had a private discussion, and a journalist asked what they spoke about. Wayne responded, “How the hell do I know? My Japanese ain’t all that great.”Joseph Stalin wanted to assassinate him
Wayne was outspoken when it came to his political beliefs, which the emperor and other international figures were aware of. However, this part of his public persona also got him into trouble when it came to his physical safety. Joseph Stalin feared Wayne because of his constant condemnation of communism, which had such a powerful influence over Hollywood and moviegoers.
Stalin ordered Wayne’s assassination after making it clear that he “hated” and “feared” the movie star. However, he survived until 1979, when he ultimately died from stomach cancer at the age of 72. Wayne fought cancer before, coining the term “the Big C” in 1964, which took on a life of its own.

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.
