There are many reasons that Paul Bettany sits high on the lists of 'bad guy actors' when movies are being cast. He has a way of appearing to be sinister without really trying. That isn't a great skill in everyday life, but it's perfect when you're an actor. It means you're never likely to be short of work! He also has a slightly androgynous quality, which made him the ideal person to play the character of Vision in the 'Avengers' movies.
He looks no less terrifying as a woman than he does as a man, but the gender swap reveals how quintessentially British his looks are. There's such a thing as an 'English rose,' and the pale-skinned and blue-eyed female Bettany fits the bill perfectly. We're getting a sense of a young Joanna Lumley from looking at that picture, and a hint of Tilda Swinton too. We think the most accurate one-word description would be 'willowy.'
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
