Actors Who Shine Just By Playing Minor Roles

Being a lead actor in a TV show or movie can be challenging. It usually takes some major acting chops and charisma to pull it off. But some would say it takes even more skill to take a relatively minor role and make it your own. These actors made the most of their supporting roles and became fan favorites on the TV shows and movies they were in.

Sydney Sweeney as Eden – The Handmaid’s Tale 

Eden was brought in in season 2 and married off to Nick by the oppressive government of Gilead. A pious 15-year-old played by the baby-faced Sweeney, Eden got more attention from viewers and critics than the actor herself had anticipated. Was Eden a spy for Serena or the Eyes? We kept guessing all season, and the answer turned out to be shocking, heartbreaking, and a potential turning point for the show.

Alexandra Breckenridge as Moira – American Horror Story 

Moira O’Hara in American Horror Story: Murder House was played by the iconic Frances Conroy, who went on to play the Angel of Death in Asylum and the unforgettable Myrtle Snow in Coven (“Balenciagaaa!”). As Moira occasionally took the form of her younger self, they needed a younger actor. Sharing a role with Conroy is a tall order – but Alexandra Breckenbridge’s stunning red hair and stocking tops proved unforgettable.

Alexandra Daddario as Lisa – True Detective 

The first season of True Detective was criticized for its portrayal of women. Detective Rust Cohle’s big notebook is given more agency than the female characters, who mainly move the plot by meeting an untimely end or trying to date the other detectives. Still, you have to admit they look good doing it – at least when it comes to Alexandra Daddario as Detective Hart’s bit on the side, Lisa Tragnetti. She reportedly received marriage proposals from fans after her nude scene in episode 2.

Rose Leslie as Ygritte – Game of Thrones 

Game of Thrones left us with many memorable lines: “Winter is coming!”; “Hodor!”; “What do we say to the God of Death? Not today!”; “If you think this has a happy ending, you haven’t been paying attention.” Each is a winner, but perhaps no line has been quoted and seemed quite as much as, “You know nothing, Jon Snow,” spoken by the flame-haired wildling Ygritte. Fresh from Downton Abbey, Rose Leslie made an impression not only on viewers but on Kit “Jon Snow” Harrington himself. The two of them got married in 2018.

Reese Witherspoon as Jill – Friends 

Now that Reese is a media mogul in her own right, it’s hard not to see her appearance as an attempt to inject minor stardom into the saggy middle of season 6. But this was before Legally Blonde, before Sweet Home Alabama. We had no idea just how huge Reese Witherspoon was about to become. And what’s more, Jill’s character worked brilliantly. She takes all the mistakes Rachel made in the early seasons — expecting shopping to fix all her problems, staying tethered to Daddy’s credit card, dating Ross — and makes them her own.

Norman Reedus as Daryl – The Walking Dead 

The Daryl Dixon character didn’t exist in The Walking Dead during its preparation phrase. When Norman Reedus auditioned to play Merle Dixon, the creators knew he wasn’t suitable for the part, but they also knew they wanted him in the show. So they created the role of Daryl, especially for him — and the character quickly became such a fan favorite that he was upgraded to series regular after season 1. He eventually became the series’s main protagonist following Andrew Lincoln’s departure as Rick.

Charisma Carpenter as Cordelia – Buffy the Vampire Slayer 

In the early episodes, Cordelia’s role seemed set in stone: she was the well-dressed, popular girl who was mean to the nerds. By opting to be friends with Willow instead of her, Buffy showed viewers that she was turning her back on the high school life she could have had. But throughout the show’s first three seasons, she transformed from an antagonist pitted against the Scooby gang to their ally — even doing a little vampire slaying herself — before she crossed over to Angel with David Boreanaz.

Krysten Ritter as Gia – Veronica Mars 

Everyone has a favorite Krysten Ritter vehicle — Jessica Jones, Breaking Bad, Don’t Trust the B**** in Apartment 23 — but Veronica Mars fans have loved her longer than anybody else. She took Gia Goodman (a ditzy, privileged character that could quickly have become just another rich girl trope) and made her such an integral part of the show that there was no question of her not returning for the fan-funded movie in 2014.

April Bowlby as Kandi – Two and A Half Men 

Kandi is the classic example of a sitcom character working her way up from a single appearance to the main cast. April Bowlby appeared in season 3 of Two and A Half Men as a one-off bimbette with a different name: Kimber. Kimber had so little discernible personality that we’re wondering if Kandi was a new character or just had a new name. Either way, Kandi was a main character in season 4, eventually becoming Alan’s second wife and returning in season 10 for a surprise twist.

Uncovering The Hidden Talents Of Top-List Celebrities

These celebrities don’t just act; they also have many other hidden talents that we may not even hear about most of the time. Did you know Lady Gaga could cook or Zac Efron could pole dance? These are all the fun talents these stars have held back from us. Take a look at this list to find out!

Snoop Dogg is a football coach.

Snoop Dogg is one of the most renowned and legendary rappers. Everyone knows him as a talented rap and hip-hop artist, but we doubt many know he was a football coach and mentor. He started a youth football league in 2005 and has coached many people who played in the big leagues. Snoop has also revealed that coaching has improved his life.

Mark Ruffalo is good at riding unicycles.

Anyone who’s ever learned to ride human-powered vehicles knows the order of difficulty increases from tricycles to bicycles, then unicycles. Riding a unicycle is incredibly hard work and takes a lot of practice. It seems like one of Hollywood’s most delectable actors is skilled at riding a unicycle. We wonder what the backstory is behind this talent of Mark’s, and we’d love to see him showcase his skills to the world someday.

Sandra Bullock is bilingual.

The Golden Globe and Academy Award-winning actress has made a name for herself in America’s entertainment industry. Yet, many people need to learn she has another unique set of skills. Although she doesn’t make much fuss about it, Sandra is also fluent in a central European language: German. Her mother was German and was raised in Nuremberg (a city in Germany) for twelve years, which explains her fluency.

Harry Styles loves to knit

Everyone has one activity they love doing during their leisure time. Former One Direction member, Harry Styles, is not any different. During a tour, when the group was still together, Harry would reportedly knit to relax and help himself deal with all the hustle and bustle of life on tour. Some fans can get a little crazy, and we don’t blame him for wanting to keep his mental health in check!

Terry Crews is skilled at drawing.

We’ve come across quite a list of actors here who’ve got a knack for a thing or two besides playing roles, and Terry Crews is one of them. He’s not just an actor, host, and former football player but also a skilled illustrator. Many of his works have made the rounds on the internet, and we were some of the millions amazed by his unbelievable skills. We’d have never guessed that Terry was also good with a pencil and some crayons in a billion years.

Harrison Ford is a pilot.

Hollywood has several legends, and Harrison Ford can easily be called one of them. He’s one of the highest-grossing actors ever and has many accolades under his belt. Besides acting, he’s also a pilot. The actor started flying far back in the 60s, but it wasn’t until much later he was given his license. Now, the legendary actor has thousands of flying miles to his name and can call himself one of the best pilots in Hollywood. 

Vin Diesel contributes to the development of video games.

Anyone who’s into action movies must know a man named Vin Diesel. He’s been the star of numerous blockbusters, some of which have featured him in their video game versions. Vin founded a video game company, Tigon Studios, which has been the creator of these video games. He also joined Studio Wildcard, an American video game developer, as their president of creative convergence, contributing even more to video gaming.

Angelina Jolie is a skilled knife thrower.

We’re not the best at statistics or guesses, but we can comfortably say it won’t be all that easy to meet people fascinated by knives. We can also say it’ll be hard to find one good at throwing them. That’s exactly why we think Angelina’s talent is one in a million. She even told Conan O’Brien, the popular television host, that she’s been collecting weapons since she was a little girl and showed off her super cool butterfly knife skills during the interview.

Bradley Cooper speaks French.

We’ve already talked about a bilingual star who has a lot of success in Hollywood, so this next one isn’t as much of a shocker. Bradley Cooper is another star who speaks a foreign language fluently. Bradley has a good command of French as he studied in France for a short while. The actor has shown his French language skills in public as he’s spoken the language during an interview, setting the internet ablaze.

Steve Carell played ice hockey.

Besides Mark Ruffalo’s unicycling talent, only a few of what we’ve seen so far have required that much physical strain. That’s why Steve Carell’s talent for playing ice hockey is an impressive one and another favorite we’d like to see in action. We don’t need to wish for that to happen. Steve displayed his impressive ice hockey skills during an episode of The Office, a comedy series he starred in. Watching the episode puts some perspective on how great he is at the game.

Nostalgic Behind-The-Scenes Photos From Game Of Thrones

Game of Thrones might have ended, but the show still lives in the hearts of the fans. Creating eight seasons of the highest quality of content must have been quite a tough job. In between the hard work, life on the sets of this show was full of fun, and these behind-the-scenes photos shall prove it, accompanied by so many secrets you may not yet heard before.

Good things come with a fine price

We don’t need to point out the fact that the last season of GoT was one of the most highly-anticipated season finales of all time. We were all clueless about the ending, and we were all eager to see what would happen. At the time, fans were waiting for the last few episodes with different emotions. Now that you know what went down in the end, did you know that each episode from the eighth season cost up to $10 million to produce?

Most challenging tasks

GoT fans know The White Walkers are some of the most frightening creatures in the show. But let us tell you something about how these characters came to life. Some of these were doctored with the help of CGI. But, the actors who played these characters had to work with some very complex prosthetics on their faces. You can’t just buy this kind of stuff from a store. In short, making just one of these took six weeks for a team of 10-15 artists.

The weapons

While you were watching the fighting scenes in the show, it would’ve been pretty easy to assume that the weapons used were real. That’s understandable because the characters put a lot of effort into throwing those spears and swinging those swords. But in reality, it’s not what you think. The weapons weren’t even replicas of lighter metal or steel. These weapons were made of 99% rubber by the weapons master Tommy Dunne. He knew that the real-steel heavy weapons wouldn’t be a practical option for filming.

Repercussions

Many people love Brienne of Tarth from the show; it was a big break for Gwendoline Christie. But every knight needed a strong costume, so she also had to don an impressive and heavy suit of armor for filming the show. It might have looked cool on the screen, but unfortunately, it adversely affected her. She said that her costume was pretty intense and painful. Its weight made her change the way she walked. Because of that, it also affected her walk permanently.

Inspiration

If there’s one thing that makes Game of Thrones the show, it’s those dragons. The creatures did well with the Mother of Dragons. Emilia was told to treat the dragons as if they all were her cats. In reality, she had to sit on wooden dragons and pat cushions covered in green fabric. The dragons were created with CGI and special effects, but much planning had to go into making the creatures look believable. Here’s an interesting fact: The dragon roars were inspired by the sound that tortoises make while mating!

Characteristics

Fans went through a lot of emotional ups and downs, especially during the finale. The characters from the Seven Kingdoms had it quite rough. Characters had to wear a lot of layers. We hope you remember when Cersei Lannister’s hair was chopped off. Therefore, Lena Headey, who played Cersei, had to wear a shorter wig that she called “The Trump wig!” It was itchy, and she wanted to burn it after filming, but that didn’t happen.

Furry Cloths

If you think of Game of Thrones, you think of the phrase “winter is coming.” That means that you need to wrap yourself up! On the show, you could often see Jon Snow wearing some fancy capes that would shield him from the cold Northern winds. Although these rugs looked like they were made of expensive animal furs, they were actually from IKEA! The costume department didn’t want to get costly animal furs for filming, so they chose a cheaper option. But they did add their own touches!

My co-wig friends

You might know her as Khaleesi, Daenerys Targaryen, Breaker of Chains, or the Mother of Dragons. You could always recognize her from her platinum-blond hair. Other cast members loved trying her wigs on, but it was a huge struggle for her. Emilia had just one wig during season one. Fast forward to season eight, and she had four wigs! She named the wigs Dany, Diva, Candice, and Blondie.

Devotion

Without a doubt, Emilia Clarke played the role of one of the strongest women in the world of movies and shows. Fans commended her for her portrayal and her real-life power. While shooting Game of Thrones, Emilia Clarke had to go through two brain aneurysms, but it didn’t stop her from perfectly portraying the role. The first aneurysm was during the first season, and she underwent brain surgery during the third season. She had another aneurysm shortly post-that.

Costumes Change

Thinking up the costumes for TV shows and movies must be pretty cool, especially for shows like GoT. There are so many characters and so many areas of the Seven Kingdoms. But it looks as if the costume department struggled with the Kingsguard. Michele Clapton, one of the costume designers for the show, said that the early Kingsguard costumes had to be changed because they made a lot of sounds, which were too loud for the mics. The suits had metal scales like armor, which caused the issue.

Unusual Phobias Celebrities Suffer From

We would never have guessed what spooks some of these stars, but Hollywood is home to strange and unusual phobias. From Kristen Bell’s aversion to pruney fingers to Channing Tatum’s fear of porcelain dolls, here are some bizarre phobias among celebs.

Kendall Jenner

Kendall Jenner allegedly has a super bad case of trypophobia. For anyone unsure about what that is, she says tiny little holes set in random patterns put her on edge. For example, she can’t look at things like lotus heads, honeycombs, or even pancakes. Imagine being unable to eat pancakes for breakfast due to fear.

Britney Spears

Britney Spears has spoken about her herpetophobia many times, which is a fear of snakes. Specifically, the superstar is most terrified of the Komodo dragons, but any reptile sighting is enough to make Britney freak out. We are guessing that the reptile exhibit at the zoo is not a place the Princess of Pop will be seen at any time soon.

Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson has been in dozens of movies, and we are sure that at least one featured her greatest fear. That is, Scarlett is terrified of birds. The actress told New York Magazine that “Something about wings and beaks and the flapping” angers her. When she encountered some peacocks on set, she said that she definitely tried to keep her distance. So, if we see Scarlett shouting in fear, we can assume there’s a bird nearby.

Channing Tatum

If not for Channing Tatum confessing that he has a severe fear of porcelain dolls, we would have assumed he is fearless. We should know by now not to judge a book by its cover because Tatum recoiled and panicked when Ellen DeGeneres brought out a porcelain doll while interviewing the actor. Perhaps he should try playing with his daughter’s doll house to overcome this fear.

Johnny Depp

With the number of fantasy films Johnny Depp has acted in, we would have assumed that the actor would not possess a fear of clowns. Nonetheless, the Pirates of the Caribbean star gets rather scared by the idea of people walking around with big red noses atop white face paint. Back in 1999, Depp was quoted saying, “there always seemed to be a darkness lurking just under the surface, a potential for real evil.”

Taylor Swift

Sea urchins sure ruin a perfect beach day, but to be honest, they are not enough to deter us from going into the water. On the other hand, Taylor Swift is so terrified of these spiny sea animals that if she knows that sea urchins are lingering beneath the waves, she will not dare step into the water just in case she accidentally steps on one and gets pricked.

Beauty Tricks Celebrities Use That We Didn’t Know

The world of the red carpet is filled with all sorts of glitz and glamour. Everyone dresses to impress in jaw-dropping outfits, fighting for the best shots from the press. However, did you know that most stars have a trick or two to stand out from the crowd? From butt pads to specialized shoes to prevent slipping, here are 10 red-carpet tricks used by celebrities to do at our next event.

Volume Hair

Have you ever noticed how complete and luscious nearly every celeb’s hair seems? It’s like they were born with super genes and the perfect hairdo. But we aren’t buying that. So, what’s the secret? Celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin, who works for the Kardashian and Jenner sisters, recently revealed she uses eye makeup to touch up the roots and hairline of her client’s hair to make it seem like they’ve got more volume than they do.

Defining Shapewear

Sometimes, we only need a bit of sculpting to achieve that hourglass figure. That’s where Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS Collection comes into play. It isn’t the only shapewear line out there but one of the best. The line includes bras, bralettes, shorts, and bodysuits, and we can even see Kylie, her younger sister, sporting one of the brand’s products in the photo above. If you want to showcase your perfect body for an event, putting on shapewear is the way to go.

Tricking Mind Games

Some of the most head-turning looks in red carpet history are often the most daring. While celebrities like Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, and Kendall Jenner have famously been known to rock “nude” looks on the red carpet, other celebs like Beyonce prefer to wear dresses that seem scandalous. Celebrities have achieved that nude look without being barely clothed on the red carpet floor using a unique material known as illusion fabric or tulle. 

Cover Up

Besides the apparent sewing using a needle and thread, we can use many other items to help outfits stay in place. They can be convenient for deep cuts like a plunging neckline and a high slit. One of those items happens to be some good old sticky tape. It’s a quick solution for a daring outfit to ensure a celeb shows just the right amount of skin and offers some extra support so they don’t unintentionally show too much. 

Costly Skin Care

That glowing and glass-like skin you see on many celebrities isn’t a result of genes or makeup alone but also pretty extensive skin routines. Besides the traditional skin care procedures, celebrities have taken their facials a step further by booking appointments to get those tiny strands of hair on their faces shaved off. In addition to the traditional methods, some others also get derma-planes, a procedure where the top layers of their skin are removed. This way, the skin has that super neat, shiny, and soft red-carpet-worthy appearance. 

Emergency Tailoring

Most red carpet looks, unless custom designed, have a less-than-glove-like fit for the celeb wearing them. So, there’s got to be a lot of slight adjustments that have to be made to ensure the wearer fits into the clothes just like it was made for them. This can be tricky, especially if the event’s date is right now. This is why a tailor is usually needed on-site to handle any last-minute stitching or wardrobe malfunctions.

Wet Hair Look

The “wet hair” look some men prefer is done to give them a super sultry appearance, though the ladies have been catching on in recent years. Now it’s so popular. We can’t help but wonder how exactly they manage to keep their hair looking like that. The secret lies with lubricants like oils and gels — a ton of them. We’re curious how they wash it off and how long it takes. But it’s worth it if it looks this good.

Rubbing the uncomfortable way

Between going up and down the red carpet and wandering all over the venue exchanging pleasantries, it’s clear celebs have to do a lot of walking while they’re at the events. For this reason, their outfits have got to be comfortable. Since style and comfort don’t always go hand-in-hand, there’s always a risk of discomfort from their dresses rubbing with their skin. And there’s a limit to what celebs can carry with them. So, stylists like to bring some hairspray or fabric softener to keep their clients comfy.

Butt pads

It can be frustrating to have your perfect outfit picked out, but some areas need to be fixed when they’re supposed to be tightly fitted. Whether it’s the wearer’s or the tailor’s fault is debatable, but luckily, there’s a quick solution. And in Kristen Bell’s case, it was some excellent ol’ butt pads. Yeah, they’re associated with weird and insecure teens, but those can be handy for this situation. Achieving that full-figure look in just the nick of time has never been easier!

Oily Skin

Have you ever touched your face and noticed it feels much greasier than it should? Well, that’s a result of the over-secretion of sebum, the oil from our sebaceous glands — or pores, as they’re often called — making our skin oilier. Celebs are humans, too, and they also face this issue. But, since it interferes with their makeup, the oily skin has got to go, and their stylists have found just the thing. Coffee filters work wonders on oily skin. Who would have thought?

Most Memorable Red Carpet Dresses

As most celebrities’ red carpet is about making a striking statement, many stars nowadays are willing to experiment. From Emmy Awards to elegance at Cannes Film Festival, these women made fashion statements that were the talk of the town. Look at the bold and beautiful dresses from the past decade in our article below.

Gwyneth Paltrow

The see-through trend is popular among stars, but they can face criticism if done wrong. However, such a case didn’t happen when someone like Gwyneth decided to wear it. The actress chose this look for the 2013 ‘Iron Man 3’ premiere. She was wearing a sheer-paneled Antonio Berardi gown. The sheer design is provocative but still elegant. As her gown couldn’t be worn with underwear, she needed to be extra careful since one wrong move would have caused a scandal.

Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton stole the spotlight at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival event with this glorious dress. The socialite appeared on the red carpet for the movie ‘Inside Out premiere, wearing a backless sheer fabric gown by Yousef Al-Jasmi. Of course, what is Paris without breaking some rules? She took a selfie with actor Sun Zu Yang at this strictest no-selfie event.

Kendall Jenner

Wearing Giambattista Valli Couture, Kendall stood out at the ‘120 Beats Per Minute’ premiere. Moreover, the model also accommodated the alight, airy silk chiffon with Chopard jewels. The beautiful florals made a dreamy impression and raised the heartbeat of many fashion lovers. She stole the show at the Cannes Film Festival of 2017.

Lady Gaga

Who remembers this iconic “meat dress” of the mother monster herself? The design came from Franc Fernandez and was suggested to Gaga by Nicola Formichetti. After the superstar wore it, she faced many backlashes from animal rights groups. Nevertheless, the singer stated that there is a big reason for such a decision. The outfit made it into Time magazine as the top fashion statement of 2010. After that, it was preserved by taxidermists as a type of jerky.

Lady Gaga

This time, Lady Gaga went old-school glamour with this beautiful metallic custom gown by stylist turned designer Brandon Maxwell. During the Grammy ceremony, Tony Bennett accompanied her, so the dress was spot on—old-school glamour for old-school charm.

Rita Ora

Rita Ora wore not one, not two, but three gowns throughout the 2015 Oscar. After the official ceremony, she went to Post Oscars Vanity Fair party wearing her most eye-catching outfit. The see-through asymmetric single-sleeved dress by Donna Karan Atelier suited the quirky star the best.

Diane Kruger

 German model and actress Diane Kruger surprised us by wearing this Marchesa design at the Golden Globe Awards in 2005. Diane later confessed that while she loved the dress, it might not be the perfect fit for the occasion. She told one magazine: “You could see my belly button, and everybody else was in long, flowy gowns.”

Pregnant Celebrities: Stars Expecting In 2023

There is nothing better than knowing the upcoming joy of a loved one, especially when it comes to celebrities. For these stars, the year 2023 brings good news in the form of small miracles. Read on to see which celebrities will have their babies in 2023.

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank

Princess Eugenie chose the perfect way to announce to the world that she’s expecting a baby in 2023 – with a sweet photo posted on social media of her son kissing her belly as she grows up. Eugenie, 32, has married her husband, Jack Brooksbank, 36, since 2018. The two have been together since 2011. In 2021, their son August was born. Buckingham Palace also made the official announcement in a social media statement, sharing the thrilling news of the late Queen Elizabeth’s granddaughter.

Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy

We love nothing more than a few talented actors, but when you add the kids to the list, things only get better. Claire Danes and her husband, Huge Dancy, met in the movie Evening (2007), set in 2006. They have since become inseparable. Danes, 43, and Dancy, 47. The two got married in 2009. A few years later, their sons Cyrus and Rowan were born in 2012 and 2018. During the 80th Golden Globe Awards, Danes announced they were expecting a third child.

Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara

Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara will become parents in 2023. The couple announced Meghan’s pregnancy on January 30 via social media, posting a sweet photo of Meghan holding her hand—an ultrasound of their unborn child. The pop singer and actor started dating in 2016 and married in 2018. In 2021, their son Riley was born, and they are happy to share that they are pleased to see him become his brother. 

Naomi Osaka and Cordae

At just 25 years old, tennis player Naomi Osaka has been ranked number 1 in the world by the Women’s Tennis Association and has built an incredible career for herself. Her fans and the sport were heartbroken when she withdrew from the Australian Open, but she later announced that she was pregnant. Osaka and her rapper boyfriend Cordae (25 years old) are expecting their first child. Osaka also mentioned that she believes she will return to court in 2024.

Ireland Baldwin & RAC

Irish model Baldwin ended 2022 happily with a sweet announcement about the expansion of her family. Baldwin, 27, whose parents are actors Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, has been dating musician RAC (André Allen Anjos, 38) since 2021. After sharing the good news, Baldwin wasted no time when they admitted she had been suffering from morning sickness for the last time. The first photo she posted of her pregnancy on social media was an ultrasound of her unborn child.

Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford

Power couple Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford are expecting their third child together. The two British artists got back together as adults after they were letter friends as children. They married in 2012 and welcomed two children – daughter Evelyn (7 years old) and son Wilfred (5 years old). The Promised Young Woman actress, 37, and the lead singer of Mumford & Sons, 35, will welcome their third child in 2023, Carey’s rep confirmed on January 14.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky

The superstar showed off her baby bump during the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime performance. She was wearing a full-red jumpsuit with the zipper down to reveal her belly. The 34-year-old celebrity had her first child, a son, in May 2022 with rapper A$AP Rocky. According to many sources, Riri is “excited to be a mom” and “couldn’t be happier.”

Sports Bloopers That Made the Entire World Laugh

Top athletes get credit for their discipline and determination. Yet, mistakes happen out there. We live in a digital world, and the internet misses nothing. It’s hard to compete while the world laughs at your expense. Aside from conquering their challenge, these athletes succeeded in another way: They’re in the blooper hall of fame! Sports are a serious endeavor, but comic relief makes it true entertainment. Check out our first-round picks below.

Let’s hope it’s a Warm Butt

Wrestling is a full-contact sport. When you agree to get in the ring, you know you’re about to get up close and personal with your opponent. There are rules to moderate the game, but eventually, you’re bound to get a butt in your face. But is that so bad? Looking at this fellow’s face, he doesn’t mind that much. He appears to be enjoying it. We see a little smile. A picture says a thousand words. 

Get Your Game Face On

Track and field are sports dating back to the Greeks. We still watch them at the Olympics. This fine sportsman is throwing the shotput. If he shows enough power, the heavy ball should fly far. Mister 1273 is on his way to gold. Looking at his face, we see a champion. He winds up his arm and gathers momentum. 

LeBron’s Pick 

Superstar LeBron James is a top pick of all NBA games year after year. Despite all the glamorous photos, he does have his share in the funny pics corner. This time, the camera caught him in the act. Maybe he had an itching nose, as we all do. It sure looks like he is searching for boogers. Let’s hope he cleaned his hands before touching the ball afterward.

Headless Yet Fearless

Gymnastics is an Olympic sport that requires strength and grace. This competitor has both, plus a sense of style. But despite her advantages, she lacks something else. Namely, she lacks a human head. Is she still alive? She is jumping around and leaping into the air like a pro. But we can’t ignore the fact that she has been beheaded. 

Hot Panties

Soccer and football are all the same. We have our preferred name for the sport. But one thing is universal: Things get pretty moist when running around in the heat. This player wants to let the air in, despite the crowd. They might be white shorts, but they look like undies from the photo alone. And the internet doesn’t care. Welcome to the Internet Hall of Fame!

Taking One For the Team

Many team sports teach us many lessons on and off the field. We learn to rely on others while supporting them, too. This college-level soccer team is taking a break and strategizing. But that’s not all. From far away, we can see the truth. Here is the real alignment of this team. Most of the lads are standing upright. But one is bending over to catch his breath. If he only knew the internet was watching. Too late now!

An Idea Post

Ice skating is the most popular event at the Winter Olympics. Here, a couple was trying their best routine. From a weird angle, the female head pops out from her partner’s rear. We are sure this is the first couple that has tried this idea. Maybe they are trying a new move to gain more points? 

Oh no, It’s The Ball.

The pressures are high when you’re in the NBA. Millions of fans are watching your moves on TV. The crowd can cheer or boo, and it’s nerve-wracking. Plus, you have to deal with a bouncing ball. That part is the worst! This player can’t hide his fear as it bounces closer and closer. The camera caught his raw emotion. 

That Was A Close One

Tampa Bay Rays reporter Kelly Nash tried to take a selfie at Fenway Park. Unbeknownst to her, a player at batting practice hit a home run right by her head. Luckily, the report lived to tell the tale and post it on Instagram. She was only a few centimeters away from a concussion.

Lucky Black Cat

In 2014, a black cat invaded the opening game of the Spanish Primera Division. It was captured on video and broadcast to millions at home. In the stadium, fans laughed, and the players were amused. The animal even upstaged Lionel Messi. As the players chased him, this kitty ran at top speed. We could see he was stressed and didn’t know how to escape. Eventually, he got chased away. 

Hollywood’s Heart Of Gold That We All Love

Celebrities are now the closest thing to royalty. Why? Because they have millions of fans who support and root for them no matter what project they’re working on. So, it’s no surprise that these stars promote different brands and companies. The influence they have could mean crazy profits from worldwide sales. However, some celebrities don’t care about the fame or which brands want to use them for their next campaign or promotion. A select few are more concerned about being an excellent example to others and making a change in society. These are only a few reasons why millions of fans respect, love, and support the celebrities on this list. 

Steve Carell

Steven Carell is a famous American actor known for his role in the NBC sitcom, The Office. However, he does much more than make people laugh through his shows and Hollywood films. He has also contributed to various charities. Steve Carell has been cited as being a genuine and loveable person not only because of his movie-star looks and charm but also his generosity towards fans worldwide. The star is down to earth and even has a general store run by his sister-in-law in Massachusetts.

Betty White

Betty White is commonly known as the First Lady of game shows, but she was much more than that. Throughout her career, which spanned over seven decades, she impacted the lives of the people around her through her performances and movies. Although she was a talented performer, she was also known for being charming and comical around everyone she met. She never got into any drama, which is probably one reason she lived a very long and happy life.

Sandra Bullock

Sandra Bullock is a famous American actress and producer. Some of her popular roles include The Proposal, The Blind Side, and Miss Congeniality. However, the actress has rarely been caught in any career-ending drama. Maybe because fame doesn’t matter to her that much? While she is always glamorous on screen or on the red carpet, the actress loves to relax and escape the paparazzi when she can. Bullock even stays away from social media to protect her privacy. Instead, she prefers to spend her time remodeling homes.

The actor made people happy and was always kind to strangers and fans he met worldwide. Robin Williams participated in over 30 charities and brought light to various issues and illnesses during his life. Williams was one of the most famous people diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder(ADD). However, it didn’t make him cower and hide away from the world. He used this to make the rest of the world laugh.

Sir Ian McKellen

This X-Men actor is known to be a charming and personable man. Aside from being a very talented and remarkable actor, that isn’t the only lovely thing about him. He is also a good man to the people around him. Despite his fame, Sir Ian McKellen is still very warm and generous towards people. The people who have met him said he is cordial towards them, which must be one reason he survived this long in the entertainment industry.

Fred Rogers

Fred Rodgers is an American producer, tv host, and writer known for his popular show Mister Rodgers’ neighborhood, which lasted between 1968 to 2001. Throughout his life, he stood for what was right. He took a stand against racial inequality in the United States. In 1969, Mister Rodgers invited a black man into a pool. This was when black and white people were not allowed to share the same facilities like buses, restaurants, or even schools. Most say that that episode of mister Rodgers broke the color barrier in the states.

David Attenborough

Sir David Attenborough is trying to make the world a better place despite the harm other humans may bring to the planet. Throughout his adult life, he has helped show the world some of the most beautiful creatures while educating the masses on better care of our environment. It’s no surprise that the Queen herself knighted him. He worked for Nat Geo for a while and even got a chance to be interviewed by a sitting president—Barack Obama. Despite all this fame, he is still down to earth and focused on doing what’s best for the planet, the animals, and the people living on it.

Hidden Easter Eggs From Friends Sitcoms

Although Friends aired in 1994 and wrapped up in 2004, many fans still watch the show today. With the series being made available on streaming platforms, a new generation of audiences can now catch up with its glory days. Whether you’ve seen all the episodes a hundred times or just beginning to follow their journey, you can bet there are some details in the show that you may need to catch up on. See if you can catch these tiny attributes in the show yourself!

Polite burglar

Most Friends fans are familiar with the dry-erase board that Chandler and Joey have hanging on their door. They would use it to leave each other messages or other dumb content. In The One With the Cat, where Joey and Chandler were being robbed, if you notice, the robber left a cheeky note on the board thanking them for all their stuff.

The signature couch

Have you ever wondered how the gang always be sitting on that couch in Central Perk no matter how busy the café gets, there’s always the couch available. Well, if you have a sharp eye, you’ll notice a “Reserved” sign on the coffee table whenever the friends hang out there. It looks like they’ve reserved that couch indefinitely! That’s why no one else has sat on it, except for that one episode where the guys get bullied.

Ross’s birthday

Writing across hundreds of episodes means continuity can sometimes be improved or more accurate. For example, when exactly is Ross’s birthday? In one episode, he tells Gunther his birthday is in December. However, in another episode, he tells Joey that his birthday is October 18th. So which one is it?

Breaking character

Sometimes the cast can’t hide their laughter while filming. In this episode, as Phoebe obnoxiously “Eeee” s to Ross’s bagpipe playing, Jennifer Aniston struggles to keep a straight face in the frame. She breaks character by laughing here in a futile attempt to cover up her face. In a recent interview, Matt LeBlanc shared that if Jen covered up her face, she was probably breaking character!

Which apartment?

Some fans would notice that the number on Monica’s apartment was sometimes different. As seen here, earlier episodes had the apartment door indicating Apartment 5. However, this later changed to 20. Some fans reason that the view from Monica’s balcony implies a high-rise apartment that wouldn’t have looked that way from apartment number 5. Apartment number 20 seems more appropriate for that view.

Which apartment?

The chick and the duck

Joey and Chandler’s fowl friends make quite an appearance in the show. Not only do they keep the two guys company, but they’ve also been a source of entertainment. However, they seemed to disappear as the seasons rolled by. It was only said in passing that the chick and the duck were “on a farm” now.

The potato

The friends have enjoyed their share of cakes, scones, muffins, and cookies at Central Perk. It seems the baked goods in the place are just as tasty as the coffee! In one of the episodes, Joey and Gunther are conversing over the counter, where a cake display sits between them. However, it’s just a raw potato instead of a cake under the cover! This was probably one of those sneaky pranks they played on set.

Breaking character 2

Here, Matt LeBlanc was caught on camera-breaking character when he was sneakily hiding behind David Schwimmer in this episodeDespite being almost out of frame, there is no missing that Matt was struggling to stop bursting out in laughter. We can’t blame him because David Schwimmer was ridiculously funny in that scene!

A hidden message

This next one is specific, and if you’re unfamiliar with American Sign Language, you probably would have missed this. Pay attention to Ross’s shirt here. The design on it is ASL for the word “friends.” It’s pretty meta when you think about it, but it’s so niched that nobody will get it unless they understand ASL. 

A hidden message

FDNY honor

Friends aired for ten seasons, during which several disastrous world events happened, the most fatal being the 9/11 attacks. The show couldn’t just keep quiet, so they did a tribute in the best way they knew how – Easter eggs. As homage to The New York City Fire Department, which risked their lives to rescue those in the towers that day, show creators would leave easter eggs of the FDNY logo in the shots. This can be seen on Joey’s shirt and the dry-erase board at Chandler and Joey’s.

Biggest Celebrity Breakups of 2022

The year 2022 is the end of many of our favorite famous pairings. Hollywood is fast-paced, and the relationships it creates seem to move at the same pace. One minute they’re hot, the couple can’t get enough of each other, and the next, they talk through shady social media posts.

So, if you’re having trouble keeping track of all the ups and downs in the relationships of your favorite celebrities, we’ve put together a list of couples who have gone their separate ways in 2022. Don’t be too sad for these heartbroken stars; they may fall in love with someone new on Valentine’s Day!

Jojo Siwa and Kylie Prew

When Dance Moms star turned pop sensation Jojo Siwa announced she was part of the LGBTQ community, social media went viral. She has always been considered the innocent, sweet, and ignorant child of relationships; suddenly, she announced that she was dating a girl. The public seemed to pick up on the news relatively quickly, and Jojo even became the first woman to have a female dance partner on Dancing with the Stars. Unfortunately, her relationship with Kylie Prew did not go well, and they announced their separation in August 2022.

Jojo Siwa and Avery Cyrus

2022 has been a hectic year for Jojo Siwa, not just because of her upward career trajectory. The star also seems to have had her fair share of the relationship. However, relationship drama is typical for a teenager, so maybe we should give her some relief. Shortly after Jojo announced her split from Kylie Prew, she began dating a TikTok star, Avery Cyrus. Things worsened when Jojo discovered that Cyrus might have been dating her to further her career. We feel sorry for Jojo and hope she finds a trustworthy partner if this is true.

Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde

If you have a social media account and don’t live under a rock, then you’ve probably heard of the crazy TV series revolving around Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde’s relationship. That film was also included in Don’t You Worry Darling, a movie the two worked on together. The movie is lengthy, so that we won’t go into the details, but in a nutshell, Wilde started dating Harry while she was in a relationship with the father of her two children. In addition, she is ten years older than the former One Direction star. Well, fans aren’t too happy about this relationship.

Zach Braff and Florence Pugh

Another celebrity starring in the TV series Doesn’t You Worry Darling is Florence Pugh. She was the lead actress in the film but was said to have not been pleasing to the eye with director Olivia Wilde. It seems she has also experienced some tragedies in her romantic life. Pugh ended his controversial relationship with Zack Braff after three years of dating. The couple’s 21-year age gap is a point of contention for many fans, and some critics have even admitted that they’re glad the two are no longer together. Yes, being a celebrity is not for the faint of heart.

Gemma Owen and Luca Bish

Love is also not in the predictions of this reality TV couple in 2022. Gemma Owen and Luca Bish are the two stars of Season 8 of Love Island UK. The pair met on the show and were predicted to win after being together for the longest time among couples. Unfortunately for them, they just trailed and went home with the runner-up. Aside from not winning the cash prize, the team didn’t win the relationship prize either. They announced their split on Instagram in November 2022.

Celebrity Kids Who Are Best Friends In Real Life

Imagine photographers and fans following your every move, from what you eat for breakfast to how you wash your hair. That is what life is like for celebrities. They must be careful and aware of their every move. The same goes for people they surround themselves with, even as kids. Here are some of the most famous celeb kids and their besties!

Victoria Beckham’s Daughter And Prince George

Believe it or not, royals also need friends and acquaintances. That’s how Victoria and David Beckham’s daughter became friends with prince George. The couple, Victoria and David, attended the Dutch and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding in 2011. Harper, Beckham’s daughter, is said to have her birthday at the royal Buckingham Palace. What a dream come true!

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Reese Witherspoon’s Sons

Reese Witherspoon and Sarah Michelle Gellar became friends after filming a cult thriller, Cruel Intentions. Who remembers this legendary banger?! We sure do! Nonetheless, their children are, believe it or not, best buds! They shared that Rocky and Tennessee, their sons, are friends. This allows their moms to spend time together and reminisce on the good old days. 

Jennifer Garner And Brooke Burke-Charvet’s Kids

It’s interesting to observe how celebs, besides all the fame and glamour, are people at the end of the day. They drive their kids to school and do math homework with them. That’s how we felt when we learned that Jennifer Garner is the head of a carpool that involves Brooke Burke- Charvet’s kids. Jennifer Garner is one of those actresses that decided to put their career aside and be a stay-at-home mom. We respect that!

Alyson Hannigan And Cobie Smulders’ Daughters

The two know each other on the set of the infamous sitcom How I Met Your Mother. In the show, the two were best friends, so they went on and continued in the same manner and transferred their friendship to real life. Not only that, but their daughters started hanging out, too. The age difference between the two daughters is a mere seven weeks, so when one is joining her mother on set, the other has to. That is so adorable! There is nothing better than making your bestie’s daughter your daughter’s bestie, too.

Jessica Alba And Eric Dane’s Kids

Jessica Alba met up with her friend Eric Dane and his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, to let their children roam around and play at the playground. We always wondered if that’s something that often happens or here and there, sporadically. Then, these pictures of Jess and Eric surfaced on Popsugar. We imagine the parents are enjoying their quality time with the kids and friends at the same time. The kids seem to be having fun, too.

Blue Ivy Carter And Apple Martin

Blue Ivy arguably has the most famous parents in the world. It’s not a tame thing to say Queen B herself is your mother or legendary rapper Jay-Z is your father. The girl has to deal with a lot of pressure and fame. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s daughter Apple Martin is Ivy’s bestie. Someone she can confide in and her first confidant. The two look gorgeous and sweet together. Just look at this picture from Gwyneth Paltrow’s Instagram page. Adorable!

Gideon And Harper Harris-Burtka And Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John

What is more iconic than hanging out with Sir Elton John and his family? Neil Patrick Harris’ twins, Gideon and Harper, surely can’t be any happier. They are spotted being friendly and funny with Elton John’s offspring. The two happy families were spotted vacationing in St. Tropez. If you look at this photo, you will see their faces are painted with joy and happiness. The dads are doing an awesome job!
