We've already seen a few different reasons why someone might refuse to kiss a co-star, but this is a new one for our list. Will Smith refused a kissing scene in 'Six Degrees of Separation' - because it was with another man. Smith is heterosexual, but agreed to accept the part of a homosexual con artist, so he should really have seen this problem coming. Being blindsided by an unexpected kissing scene is one thing. Refusing to perform a gay kiss when you've agreed to play the role of a gay man is quite another.
The director was apparently furious about Smith's refusal, but had shot too much of the film by that point to replace Smith, so shot a 'simulated' kiss instead. For his part, Smith partially blamed his decision on bad advice he'd received from Denzel Washington, and also his own 'immaturity' at the time he made the movie. He says if he'd had the chance again, he'd have filmed the scene as intended.
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.
