John Wayne’s Son Ethan Says He Created the ‘Archetypical American Character’ – My Blog

Ethan Wayne, the son of acting icon John Wayne, recently discussed how his late father created the “archetypical American character.”

During a recent interview with Texas Monthly, the son of John Wayne stated the actor represented what the original American actor was. “When you watch a John Wayne film, when it’s over you feel good. He built this really archetypical American character and just took him across different storylines.”

Ethan also stated that while going through a storage unit filled with his father’s memorabilia, he decided to share the late actor’s “untold” stories with the world. This is why he helped create the John Wayne: An American Experience at the Fort Worth Stockyard. Speaking about the exhibit, the actor’s son said, “It will just give you a rounder picture of who the man really was. And reinforce what a special guy he was.”

According to its website, the John Wayne: An American Experience gives visitors an “intimate” tour of the actor’s life. Each room notably highlights an aspect of “The Duke’s” legacy. This includes film aficionados, an extensive galley, iconic film props, and even costumes.
John Wayne’s Son on Growing Up With the Western Film Icon

While speaking to Fox News in 2018, Ethan Wayne discussed what it was like growing up as John Wayne’s son. “I can remember going to a friend’s house and his mom said, ‘Hey Brian, go get the mail.’ I went out and there were three envelopes. I remember going, ‘That’s all the mail you got? That’s weird.’”
Wayne further revealed that the U.S. postal service would actually drag canvas bags that were full of mail into his house. Despite his stardom, Ethan said John Wayne didn’t approach his life with privilege from his career. “I can’t pick up a broom to this day without thinking about coming out and saying, ‘That’s not how you sweep, this is how you sweep!”

Ethan also noted that his father wasn’t very mechanical. Even though he was great with a guy and horseback riding. “But if a car got a flat tire, he’d just leave it. And I was very mechanical as a young boy for some reason. He didn’t really get it. He didn’t like motorcycles, and I did.”
Meanwhile, Ethan reflected on the age difference between he and his father. The younger Wayne was born when his father was in his 50’s. “I was 10 when he was 66 years old. He’s on a horse, he’s running at full speed across open country, with a herd of horses running with him. He was a bold, outgoing individual who was full of life, constantly moving forward.”

Ethan Wayne went on to add that no one sits on a horse like his father did.

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.
