We only know about this happened because somebody hacked Sony's emails and published them on the web, so we feel a little naughty about using this information. It's out there in the public domain, though, so we're going to go with it! The part of Agent C in the James Bond movie 'Spectre,' as so memorably played by Andrew Scott, was originally penciled in for Chiwetel Ejiofor. Not only that, Ejiofor would have earned $1m more than Scott if he'd agreed to do it.
There's no recorded reason as to why Ejiofor turned down the role, but we have a suspicion. At the time, there was a lot of speculation that 'Spectre' would be Daniel Craig's final 'Bond' film. Ejiofor was one of the names linked with the role in the press. If he'd taken it, he'd have been out of contention. Given that Craig decided to stay on and make another film, Ejiofor now has cause to regret that decision.
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.
