There are conflicting theories about whether or not it's a good idea to work with your significant other when you're making a film. As we've seen with Marilyn Monroe, if it goes wrong, it can put undue strain on your relationship. Maybe that was a key factor in Bruce Willis' thinking when he decided to pass on a lead role in 'Ghost.' If he'd taken it on, it would have been him who'd had the iconic 'let's make pottery sexy' scene with Demi Moore - who was, at the time, his wife.
We'll never be sure why Willis said no, but perhaps he was concerned about stepping too far away from his comfort zone at the time. He was an action movie star, and he wouldn't accept a more subdued role until he appeared in 'The Sixth Sense' years later. He also wasn't the only big name to turn 'Ghost' down; both Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise didn't see the merit in the script, and rejected the offer as well. Patrick Swayze had no such concerns, and was wearing a big smile when he movie collected the 'Best Original Screenplay' Oscar.
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.
