John Wayne Once Had an ‘Exasperated Tantrum’ and Stormed Off Set Over a Pile of Leaves – My Blog

John Wayne is one of Hollywood’s most popular icons. His career started in the silent era and he would later become one of the biggest draws to getting audiences in theaters for decades. However, Wayne had an “exasperated tantrum” on the set of Four Sons over a pile of leaves that got quite heated. As a result, he stormed off the set.

1928’s Four Sons is a silent drama film. John Ford directs a screenplay written by Philip Klein. It follows Mother Bernle (Margaret Mann), who’s a widow who has four sons named Franz (Ralph Bushman), Johann (Charles Morton), Andreas (George Meeker), and Joseph (James Hall). They all set out to fight in World War, which tears the family apart. Wayne worked on the set of Four Sons very early on his career.

Four Sons would get a remake in 1940. Archie Mayo directs the remake written by John Howard Lawson. The cast’s top billing includes Don Ameche and Eugenie Leontovich. The Four Sons remake updated the story to follow War War II instead.

Hourly History’s John Wayne: A Life From Beginning to End follows his personal life and career that grew exponentially over time. The text explains Wayne’s first job with Fox was Ford’s Four Sons. However, he wasn’t a leading man. His job was to dump leaves onto a fan to mimic the illusion of fall weather.
“Although innocuous in nature, this scene was very important for the production team and had to be done several times in order to get it just right,” Hourly History wrote. “This put John Wayne in the tedious position of continuously dumping leaves, sweeping them up, and then dumping them again.” 
Hourly History continued: “Wayne was growing weary of the retakes, and somewhere along the way lost his order of operations and found himself sweeping up leaves when he should have been dumping them, completely messing up the shot. The crew was frustrated, but when Wayne realized what he had done, he was even more aggravated and threw his broom down, marching right off the set in what amounted to an exasperated tantrum.” 
John Wayne’s uncredited performance
Four Sons is a famous film for more than the reason that it’s one of Ford’s only surviving silent movies. The inclusion of a young Wayne in an uncredited role draws a lot of attention to it. However, Wayne is currently credited on IMDb as “Officer (uncredited).”
However, Wayne’s tantrum didn’t upset Ford on Four Sons. Rather, Hourly History said, “Ford was apparently once again entertained by what he perceived to be John Wayne’s sense of comic relief in action.” The filmmaker saw something special in Wayne, which would ultimately drive him to become one of the biggest names in the history of the entertainment industry.

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.
