John Wayne’s Estate Shares Perfect Duke Quote Alongside Vintage Photo – My Blog

The world lost a hero with the passing of John Wayne. Lucky for us, however, The Duke left behind plenty for us to remember him by. Along with a catalog of films spanning four decades, we also have entire books’ worth of sage wisdom from the icon of American manhood.

John Wayne lived his life unapologetically himself but always did his best to respect those who meant the most to him. In a recent Instagram post, The Duke’s estate shared a classic picture of the actor, along with a quote expressing this exact sentiment.
In the photo, John Wayne looks to the side with a smile on his face and a lit cigarette in his hand. The quote reads, “I have tried to live my life so that my family would love me and my friends respect me. The others can do whatever the hell they please”.
We can all learn something from figures of the past, but with his never-say-die attitude, dedication to the things that matter most, and quiet tenderness, John Wayne is a particularly good role model to have.John Wayne’s Memory Lives on Through His Family

Though John Wayne will certainly never be forgotten, his son and granddaughter help to keep his memory alive by discussing their time with The Duke on the John Wayne Gritcast. The weekly podcast, hosted by Ethan Wayne, “is a fresh perspective on a classic icon and the Americana he still inspires”. In each episode, Ethan Wayne “discusses his father’s life and legacy with Hollywood legends, old friends, and those bringing The Duke’s values to life today.”
On the most recent episode of the Gritcast, Ethan and Jennifer Wayne (John Wayne’s son and granddaughter, respectively) shared their thoughts on The Duke’s legacy. On the Instagram post promoting the episode, the caption reads, “He’s our hero and I think that’s never going to go away”.
When asked about the future of John Wayne, his granddaughter Jennifer replies, “I feel like John Wayne is a forever thing. He’s not going away.” Ethan Wayne agrees with the sentiment, adding, “Meeting him, and knowing him, whether it’s on-screen or in person, is good for you. It’s good for the country.”
Over 40 years after his death, Wayne continues to inspire fans around the world. They made it clear in the comments under the post that they couldn’t agree more with Ethan and Jennifer. Fans of The Duke shared thoughts such as, “Can’t beat John Wayne! A wonderful man and actor!” and “Love this great patriot who cares for all! Many could learn a lot from his legacy!”

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.
