Raquel Welch told ‘big bad John Wayne’ what made him ‘real pushover’ in unearthed footage – My Blog

John Wayne’s estate shared the hilarious footage of Duke with Raquel Welch from 53 years ago, in tribute to the actress who died this week.

John Wayne and Raquel Welch may never have starred in a movie together, but Duke did join the actress – who died at 82 on Wednesday – on her hit TV special Raquel! The 1970 CBS broadcast was a multimillion-dollar song and dance extravaganza shot around the world from Paris to Mexico with stars like Tom Jones, Bob Hope and even Duke himself. She met the Hollywood legend south of the US border where he filmed many of his Westerns and hilariously teased him in the opening skit.
John Wayne’s estate posted a picture of Duke in a cowboy hat with Raquel on a horse, plus footage of them doing charity work in Mexico.
The posts read: “Rest in peace Raquel Welch, you will be dearly missed. John Wayne and Raquel Welch in Mexico on the set of Raquel (1970) a TV special that showcased her talents as a singer, dancer, and comedienne. While in Mexico, Duke and Raquel visited an orphanage and met over 600 orphans…John Wayne and Raquel Welch visit the Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos orphanage in Acolman de Nezahualcóyotl, México, in a segment from Raquel Welch’s TV Special, Raquel! (1970). Rest in peace Raquel Welch, you will be dearly missed.”

The accompanying footage began with the late sex symbol teasing Wayne for being a big softy behind his gruff on-screen persona.
Raquel told Wayne tongue-in-cheek: “Yeah… big bad John. But I know different. You’re just a real pushover when it comes to kids. About 600 kids to be exact in that orphanage down in Mexico.”
What followed was footage of the two Hollywood stars visiting the Mexican orphanage where six people raised 600 kids, with the actress saying how “peaceful” it was.
Duke’s daughter Marisa Wayne commented on the post: “I remember that day. She was so gracious and gorgeous. Rest in peace.”
After shots of the orphanage, Wayne is filmed as a cowboy with Raquel thanking him from a horse above, before he “hayed!” her away on her steed. Although the two actors never shot a movie together, she did star in 1968’s Bandolero! opposite James Stewart and Dean Martin.
It turns out this Western was shot at the Alamo Village, which was the set originally created for 1960’s The Alamo. This was Duke’s directorial debut, in which he also starred as Davy Crockett and produced the epic with a ton of his own money.

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.
