John Wayne’s desperate attempt ‘not to disappoint fans’ after breaking THREE ribs – My Blog

But viewers are often unaware that during filming for the flick, Wayne took the usual step of carrying out some of his own stunts, though these ended in the actor injuring himself.Recalling an incident, a tweet from Wayne’s official Twitter account read: “While filming The Undefeated, Duke fractured three ribs from a horse fall and then tore a ligament in his shoulder which left one arm immobile.“Despite the injuries, his main concern was not disappointing the fans.”According to IMDb’s The Undefeated trivia section, Wayne took just two weeks off to heal from his injuries, and even when the star returned he continued to experience heavy pain.

Director Andrew V. McLaglen, in an attempt to maintain the film’s continuity, “had to film Wayne at an angle from that point forward” in a bid to keep “his injury hidden”.While the injury did not affect Wayne’s career for too long, another incident in his younger days altered his life forever, forcing him into a career in front of the camera as opposed to one on the American football field.Had Wayne not injured himself while trying to impress some girls before one training session, forcing his coach’s hand at dropping the star, the legend’s iconic filmography may never have come to light.JUST IN: Police pair in Couzens’ chat face jail over ‘sick’ messages
An eyewitness to the incident was Wayne’s friend Eugene Clarke, who recalled the incident in Scott Eyman’s 2014 book John Wayne: The Life and Legend.He said: “One day we went to Balboa and there was a lot of pretty USC sorority girls down there that day and we decided to do a little showing off.“We jumped in the water – it was Duke’s idea – and started to do what the kids nowadays call body surfing.“The waves were pretty high, real rough, and one of them caught Duke and tossed him ashore with a badly wrenched right shoulder.”

He explained that Wayne had to report to football training a couple days later, but Wayne’s shoulder remained in “pretty bad shape” despite resting it.
Wayne held the position as a tackle and appeared to follow his coach Howard Jones’ advice, who was meticulous in his wish for players in his role to “block the opposing lineman, you hit him with your right shoulder… real hard”.Clarke continued: “If Duke tried to do that with his injured shoulder it would have killed him. So what he tried to do was twist his body around so he could block with the left shoulder. Well, Jones saw him do that and that was all he needed.“All hell broke loose. Jones accused the Duke of being yellow, of being afraid to block and demoted him to the scrubs.”

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.
