John Wayne Was Heartbroken ‘Beau John’ Couldn’t Be Made as His Last Film – My Blog

Before Western legend John Wayne passed away, he had his heart set on making one last film. But unfortunately, his dream never made it to the big screen.

In 1978, one year before his death, Wayne’s health was steadily deteriorating from years of battling cancer. The disease began in his stomach 15 years prior and eventually spread to his lungs. But after subsequently having a lung removed, his body was unable to fight, and he spent the last year of his life too frail to film.
However, the entire time he was fighting cancer, he refused to give up his career. during the earlier stages of the illness, he pushed himself to the limits several times. And that passion to keep filming stayed with him until his dying day.
And when John Wayne knew that his time was short, he had a dying wish to film a passion project of his titled Beau John. But he passed before he had the chance to get it off the ground.Two Directors Agreed to Film John Wayne’s Movie

According to Scott Eyman, author of John Wayne: The Life and Legend, the actor felt empty without his work. At the time, he had been focusing on recovery and couldn’t accept any roles. And he desperately wanted to get back behind the camera.
So The Duke propositioned his friend, director Peter Bogdanovich, with a movie pitch. And Bogdanovich was an easy sell.
“It’s kind of a half-western thing, it’s not cowboys and Indians, you know, it’s — oh, the humor and the wonderful relationship between this grandfather and the son and the son-in-law and the grandson,” he told Eyman.“Wayne said, ‘I hope to hell I live to do it. Just a wonderful story,” the director continued.
Bogdanovich agreed that he would film the movie as long as Wayne was healthy enough to star in it. So during his final months, John Wayne put all of his focus on writing and making the movie.
As Wayne grew more ill, time became his main concern. So he asked Ron Howard if he could make the movie quickly. And Howard agreed but only if Wayne could muster the strength star as the lead. As he recounted in the book, he would only film Beau John with Wayne.
“I found a book. I think it’s a movie. It’s you and me or it’s nobody,” Howard said.
However, Wayne was never able to find the strength to work one last time. He passed away on June 11th, 1979. And because of that, the movie became a memory too personal for anyone else to continue.
“At that point, he was showing signs of not being well. I was a little doubtful,” Ron Howard added. “It never got past the verbal stage.

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.
