John Wayne Threatened to Punch Robert Duvall Over a Heated Argument With Henry Hathaway – My Blog

True Grit is one of the most iconic western movies of all time starring legendary actor John Wayne, who personified the genre itself. He brought the 1969 film to life in ways that would influence filmmaking moving forward. However, Wayne nearly threw punches at co-star Robert Duvall over a heated argument the actor had with True Grit director Henry Hathaway on the set.John Wayne and Robert Duvall star in ‘True Grit’‘True Grit’ John Wayne as U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn in article about fight with Robert Duvall with an eye patch onJohn Wayne as U.S. Marshal ‘Rooster’ Cogburn | Paramount/Getty Images

True Grit is the first film adaptation of Charles Portis’ 1968 novel by the same name. Hathaway directs a screenplay written by Marguerite Roberts. The story follows 14-year-old Mattie Ross (Kim Darby), who hires U.S. Marshal “Rooster” Cogburn (Wayne) after a hired hand (Jeff Corey) murders her father. The unlikely duo pursues him to bring justice to the killer. However, they aren’t the only ones searching him out.
Wayne plays the lead, who has an ex-wife and son. He once served the Confederacy during the American Civil War. Meanwhile, Duvall plays Ned Pepper, who is a notorious outlaw. He leads a Gang of Outlaws, whose crimes are widespread. He nearly kills the Marshal but doesn’t quite get the chance.John Wayne threatened to punch Robert Duvall over an argument with director Henry Hathaway
Express reported that Wayne nearly punched Duvall over an argument with Hathaway while filming True Grit. Duvall allegedly displays quite a temper on sets. He’s a Method actor, who is very particular with the way that things should be done. As a result, Duvall had intense arguments with Hathaway.

“The director and I didn’t get along — I don’t get along with a lot of directors,” Duvall said. “Henry Hathaway … we won’t talk about him.”
However, Hathaway’s direction and Duvall’s acting preferences didn’t align. One particular direction from Hathaway started a heated argument.
“He’d say, ‘When I say, ‘Action!’ tense up, Goddam you,’” Duvall said. “It’s hard to work under that as a young actor.”
Wayne grew tired of Duvall and Hathaway’s fighting on the True Grit set. It was a disruption that he didn’t welcome. Wayne and Duvall argued, with the legendary western actor threatening to punch Duvall if he didn’t stop fighting with Hathaway.‘True Grit’ earned an Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role
The initial hardships were all ultimately worth it. Wayne won an Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role and the film earned a nomination for Best Music, Original Song for the song “True Grit.” Wayne also won a Golden Globe for playing the same character. His performance in True Grit remains one of the most iconic roles of his career.
1975’s Rooster Cogburn brought audiences back into the True Grit world with a sequel. However, critics refer to it as a rehash. Meanwhile, 2010’s True Grit adaptation directed by Joel and Ethan Coen brought the material right back to the Academy Awards.

Can you solve this puzzle?

### Puzzle Details:
1. **Frank says:** “I didn’t do it.”
2. **John says:** “Frank is lying.”
3. **Peter says:** “Frank is telling the truth.”

### Analyzing the Statements:
Let’s analyze the implications of their statements:

– If **Frank** is telling the truth (he didn’t do it):
– Then **John** is lying (since he claims Frank is lying).
– If John is lying, that means **Frank** is indeed innocent.
– **Peter** is telling the truth by claiming Frank is honest.

Thus, if Frank is telling the truth:
– Frank = Innocent
– John = Guilty (because he lied)
– Peter = Innocent

– If **Frank** is lying (he did it):
– Then **John** is telling the truth (as he says Frank is lying).
– If John is telling the truth, then Frank is indeed guilty.
– **Peter** is lying (as he claims Frank is telling the truth).

Thus, if Frank is lying:
– Frank = Guilty
– John = Innocent
– Peter = Guilty (because he lied)

### Summary of Scenarios:
1. **Frank is Innocent:** (Frank: Truth, John: Lie, Peter: Truth)
2. **Frank is Guilty:** (Frank: Lie, John: Truth, Peter: Lie)

### Conclusion:
– If Frank is innocent, John’s statement indicates he is guilty, which means Peter must be innocent.
– If Frank is guilty, then John is innocent but Peter must now be guilty.

**In both scenarios, we can determine that John cannot be guilty at the same time as Frank.**

Thus, the only consistent solution appears to be:
– **Frank is guilty.**
– **John is innocent.**
– **Peter is lying.**

Therefore, only one man is guilty, which is **Frank.**

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.”
