10 interesting facts about Leonard Nimoy

Latest facts about Leonard Nimoy

By: Jake Rajala

Leonard Nimoy isn’t only a legend in the science fiction world, but he’s one of the best actors of all time. Nimoy dominated the TV screen with William Shatner in Star Trek: The Original Series in the late 1960s. Despite Nimoy passing away in 2015, he’s already inspired countless souls to follow modern and future Star Trek material. With that enunciated, I’m going to untwine 10 interesting facts about Leonard Nimoy.

  • Army

Nimoy had the courage to join the army in his early twenties. Between 1953 and 1955, Nimoy was a staff sergeant for “Special Services” — which was an entertainment branch of the military. Other A-list celebrities who have served in the military are Elvis Presley, Bob Parker, and Chuck Norris.

  • Photography

A young Leonard had a passion for photography. In fact, he went to study photography at UCLA after the original Star Trek. Let’s be honest – we’re thankful he didn’t pursue photography long over his projects later in his career. Many gifted people usually stand out in a few different areas.

  • Vulcan salute

It would be blasphemous to not cover his infamous Vulcan salute! It’s vital to note that it’s true origins aren’t from a pipe dream, but rather religion. Per “Star Trek”, its origins come from the Torah. It proudly represents the Jewish Priestly Blessing of the descendants of Aaron. Aaron is the high priest & the sons of Aaron are Priests or Kohanim.

  • Modern Star Trek

Spock wasn’t only shown in the old-school Star Trek content (shows and movies), but he also had a role in “Star Trek (2009)” and “Star Trek Into Darkness”. It was quite surreal to see the young Spock (played by Zachary Quinto) acting alongside the old Spock. The question is: Is Nimoy better than Quinto?

  • Boston

“Shipping up to Boston”

Nimoy was born in none other than Boston, Massachusets. It’s clear that he has the scrappiness that comes from living in Boston. The population of Boston is roughly 654,000 people. MIT and Harvard are a part of Boston. Other notable people from Boston are none other than Mark Wahlberg, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Conan O’Brien.

  • Family

Nimoy married Sandra Zober in 1954 and they were together until 1987. After he got a divorce, he married Susan Bay in 1989 and they remained married until Leonard’s death. Nimoy has a son from Sandra named Adam and Adam is actually a movie director. Adam created the film “For the Love of Spock, and it has a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score! Leonard and Sandra also share a daughter named Julie.

  • Other screen gigs

Nimoy didn’t only shine in outer space, but he also dazzled the audience in an action-packed script called the 1966 show, Mission Impossible! He played “Paris” in the show. Furthermore, he also starred in a space show called “In Search of”. IMDb gave the show a whopping 8.5/10! 92% of Google users also admired the show.

  • Music

Music played an underrated role in his life. It may seem odd the somewhat non-emotion Spock reached impressive heights in the music sphere, but he certainly did. Nimoy’s voice appeared in a sampled form on a song by “Information Society” in the late 80s! Furthermore, his singing ability was portrayed in the alternate music video for the song “The Lazy Song” by Bruno Mars!

  • Awards

As previously stated, it doesn’t require Captain Obvious to state that Leonard Nimoy is one of the best actors of all time. In 1968, 1969, and 1970, Nimoy was nominated for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series. He was also nominated for the best supporting actor for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. He finally tasted glory and won the award for “The Life Career Award” in 1986! He also won “Best Cast” for Star Trek in 2009. His wise presence played a key role in representing the cast of Star Trek.

  • Death

In 2014, it was revealed that he suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). He blamed a long period of smoking for the wretched disease. Very sadly, his millions of followers heard the news on Feb 25, 2015, that he fell into a coma. On the morning of Feb. 27, 2015, the man behind the mystical salute passed away. BB King, Sir Christopher Lee, and Amanda Peterson also died in 2015.

  • Honorable Mention: William Shatner

There are an infinite amount of warm feelings with the combination of Spock and Captain James T. Kirk. The two are like Batman and Robin. Well, it’s worth mentioning that Shatner (who went to space with Jeff Bezos) and Nimoy didn’t end on a high note. Per Screen Rant, Nimoy was accidentally featured in Shatner’s documentary — which stirred the feathers of Nimoy. It’s unclear why Nimoy felt strongly about being in the documentary. Perhaps Nimoy didn’t want to be publicly seen at that stage in his life. Thankfully, Leonard’s daughter reached out to Shatner and said Leonard really loved William.

10 interesting facts about Mark Ruffalo

Cool facts about Mark Ruffalo 

By: Jake Rajala

The infinite Thanos and potent Thor might be the only thing that can prevent the Incredible Hulk from seeing everything as an absolute win. Hulk has been a staple piece in the Marvel universe since his debut in the Incredible Hulk (2008). He is a universal phenomenon and one of the most powerful Marvel characters. At the same time, Ruffalo has been intense and witty in the role of Bruce Banner/Hulk. With that said, I’m going to reminisce about the actor for protein 1000 and untwine 10 interesting facts about Ruffalo. 

  • Environmental activist 

Ruffalo has been a serious environmental activist and he even started his own non-profit organization called The Solutions Project. Mark Jacobson, who is the director of the energy system at Stanford University, designed a model for renewable energy (which was sized down from the US to his smaller targeted area/in the Catskills) for Ruffalo. It’s not a surprise that the angry Avenger has a strong passion for the environment – especially after his performance in “Dark Waters”. 

  • Dark Waters 

The high-character individual and Anne Hathaway were on another level in “Dark Waters” – which followed a human rights lawyer fighting against a corporation that is connected with a plethora of unexplained deaths. His passion is insanely attractive, to say the least. The movie directed by Todd Haynes ousted an 89% Rotten Tomatoes score and 88% of Google users liked the film. 

  • Begin Again 

Ruffalo branches out in the romance film “Begin Again”, as he plays a disgraced record executive that falls in love with the singer Gretta (who is played by Keira Knightley). The movie had an admirable 83% Rotten Tomatoes score & 85% of Google users enjoyed the movie. The film was directed by John Carney.

  • Ruffalo is an ISFJ personality type 

Banner has an ISFJ personality type, which stands for introverted, sensory, feeling, and judgment. ISFJ is actually the most common MBTI in the population. George H.W. Bush, Beyonce, Rosa Parks, and Denmark are also ISFJs. 

  • He was born in Kenosha, WI 

The hulk is from the Mid West, as he was born in Kenosha, WI. Orson Welles was also born in Kenosha. Kenosha has a population of roughly 100,000 people. Kenosha has also caught the attention of the Jacob Blake and the Kyle Rittenhouse shooting. 

  • He is married to Sunrise Coigney 

The Hulk is married to Sunrise Coigney, who is an actress that stars in In the Cut & Campfire Stories. They have been married since June 11th of 2000. She is from San Francisco, CA. 

  • She-Hulk: Attorney at Law 

There won’t be a TV series revolving around Hulk, but there will be a series that features the She-Hulk! She-Hulk: Attorney at Law will feature on Disney + on August 17th of 2022. Of course, the series is inspired by the Incredible Hulk. 

  • Shutter Island 

It’s clear that Shutter Island is one of Ruffalo’s biggest hidden gems – as he shines as Chuck Aule. Ruffalo is really branching out in this film, but he does a fantastic job in the film that depicts Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead role. A whopping 92% of Google Users liked the film. 

  • Now You See Me

Ruffalo really has some magic up his sleeve – which was portrayed well in “Now You See Me (2013)”. Jesse Eisenberg takes the cake as the lead character/most important magician, but Ruffalo is an entertaining FBI agent throughout the series. 

  • Spotlight 

Ruffalo is in another unique, social justice, film in Spotlight. He is a reporter covering the horror that’s put on by the priest toward the young boys. Spotlight is based on a true story, as well. The film ousted an extremely impressive 97% RT score, while 87% of Google users like the movie.

10 facts about Paul Bettany

Cool facts about Paul Bettany

The hipster from London, Paul Bettany, is an amazing actor, yet he’s an underrated face in Marvel. Bettany has starred as Vision and played the voice of Jarvis in Marvel. He has been impressive alongside Wanda Maximoff, who expressed her emotion for Vision in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. His spotlight really blossomed in WandaVision – which ousted a superb 91% Rotten Tomatoes Score and 93% of Google users liked the show. With that enunciated, I’m going to reflect and untwine 10 interesting facts on the unique actor in Bettany. 

  • A Beautiful Mind

Bettany did a fantastic job of playing Charles in “A Beautiful Mind”. John Nash (played by Russell Crowe) is a math genius that suffered from Schizophrenia and the film depicted him having an imaginary friendship with Charles. The film is a hidden gem and a whopping 89% of Google Users liked the movie. 

  • Priest

I really believe Priest is an addicting science fiction film. The movie follows the path of the Priest. He has a Jedi-like force ability and he also wears a smooth all-black robe. Karl Urban stars as the villain in the movie. The soundtrack in Priest is also quite appealing. If you love cyberpunk movies, please give Priest a chance. 

  • A Knight’s Tale

Bettany really shows his eccentric side in A Knight’s Tale as Geoffrey Chaucer – a friend to William Thatcher (played by the mythical Heath Ledger). Chaucer doesn’t have any clothes on when he meets Thatcher – which is one of the many exotic scenes in the film and hilarious moments by the outgoing Chaucer. The film is easily one of Ledger’s best performances, as well. 

  • His wife is Jennifer Connelly

The man behind Jarvis is married to Jennifer Connelly, who is a famous actress. Interestingly, she starred in A Beautiful Mind in the role of John Nash’s wife, Alisha. She also recently shined in Top Gun: Maverick. They have been married since 2003. They share a daughter and a son together. 

  • He is an INTP personality type

Bettany has an authentic personality, to say the least. He is an INTP personality type – which consists of 3% of the population. INTP stands for introverted, intuitive, thinking, and perceiving. Other famous INTPs are Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, and Paul Allen. The INTP personality type has the highest percentage of gifted individuals. 

  • Transcendence 

Paul Bettany has had less than inspiring moments with Johnny Depp in recent memory, but I still believe both of the individuals are optimistic, kind, and wiser than their prior versions. Transcendence is a film featuring Johnny Depp, Paul Bettany, and Rebecca Hall. Depp is an AI scientist who projects himself into a computer and his close friend and researcher, Max Waters, is skeptical of the situation. The film is an exciting, futuristic piece of work from 2014. 

  • Solo: A Star Wars Story

Let’s not forget that the majestic Bettany was a part of the Star Wars franchise. He was showcased in Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018). Alden Ehrenreich (Han Solo) and Woody Harrelson (Tobias Beckett) were the lead characters in this non-traditional Star Wars movie, but Bettany was a force to be reckoned with in his role for Dryden Vos. The film didn’t garner sexy reviews (a 69% RT score), but it’s still entertaining and worth watching. 

  • Bettany is an atheist

Bettany grew up Roman Catholic, but he became less romantic with any religion as he aged. In fact, he’s even identified as being an atheist. According to Vox, around 3% of people in the US are atheists. 7% of the world’s population identifies as atheists. 

  • Legion 

The creative Bettany is an intense archangel in the film, Legion, as he helps protect a pregnant lady, who he believes carries the “savior” of the planet. The movie also portrays Dennis Quaid and Kevin Durand. It’s not an overly complex movie, but it’s a fun horror movie from start to finish. 

  • Wimbledon 

The well-reputable Paul Bettany isn’t known for being a stud in romance films, but he did an admirable job of playing the tennis player Peter Colt. Colt meets Lizzie Bradbury (who is played by Kristen Dunst) and they both train and aspire to be top-tier tennis players while falling in love. Jon Favreau, who likes to follow Paul Bettany around, is also in the Tennis movie.

10 interesting facts about Anthony Hopkins

Cool facts about Anthony Hopkins

By: Jake Rajala

Anthony Hopkins is unequivocally one of the most underrated Marvel faces. Of course, Hopkins stars as Odin, the father of Thor and Loki. It’s lesser known if he carries a rich background behind the jumbo screen. Hence, I’m going to take a unique, yet much-needed angle by untwining 10 interesting facts about Anthony Hopkins.

  • Thor

To reiterate the pivotal presence of Hopkins in Marvel, Hopkins stars in many Marvel pieces. He’s showcased in Thor (2011), Thor: Dark World, and Thor: Ragnarok. According to “The Things”, Hopkins was paid 10 million for his role in Thor. He earned every penny as the wise ruler of Asgard.

  • Aspergers

Like myself and even my role models (such as Elon Musk and Nikola Tesla), Hopkins suffers from Aspergers syndrome. Hopkins has been open about the benefits of Aspergers syndrome in his acting. Per CDC, 1% of the world’s population suffers from Aspergers. Signs of ASD include obsessions, odd speech patterns, limited facial expressions, and often an unusual sensitivity to sensory stimuli.

  • Born in UK

On December 31st of 1937 in Margam, United Kingdom, Hopkins was officially born. Bernard Fox (starred as Dr. Bombay in Bewitched) and Ronald Lewis (starred in Jigsaw) are also from Margam. There are also an infinite amount of celebrities from the UK — such as Winston Churchill, JK Rowling, Alan Turing, and even William Shakespeare.

  • The Silence of the Lambs (academy award for best picture)

If asked to name the first film with Anthony Hopkins that comes to mind, it would be blasphemous to not name The Silence of the Lambs. The horror film follows Hopkins starring as Dr. Hannibal Lecter — who is a psychiatrist serving life behind bars for murder. Hannibal is being interviewed by Clarice Starling (played by Jodie Foster) for information on a different case. Hopkins won Academy Award for best actor in his work on The Silence of the Lambs. Furthermore, the film garnered a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score & 91% of Google users admired it.

  • The Father

Let’s not forget Hopkins winning his second Oscar at the age of 83 for his performance in “The Father”. He is portrayed as a man with dementia & he also refuses help from his family. The emotional film from 2021 also garnered a whopping 98% RT score!

  • ISFJ personality type

The mbti of Hopkins is rumored to be ISFJ, which stands for introverted, sensory, feeling, and judging. It’s the most common MBTI in the world. Other famous ISFJs include George H.W. Bush, Rosa Parks, and Ryan Reynolds.

  • The Two Popes

The most underrated film with Hopkins is “The Two Popes” in my humble opinion. The film revolves around Pope Benedict (played by Hopkins) & future Pope Francis (played by Jonathan Price) building a relationship for the sake of the Catholic church. The movie obtained a potent 90% RT score & 91% of Google users admired the piece.

https://twitter.com/hsexualgambler/status/1637030613508317184?s=20
  • Stella Arroyave

His wife is none other than Stella Arroyave. They have been married since 2003. She is 67 years old — which is 18 years younger than Hopkins. They don’t share any children, although she is the step mother to Hopkins’s only child. He was married to Petronella Baker and Jennifer Lynton before Stella.

  • The Remains of the Day

It would be a shame to forget about Hopkins’s performance in “The Remains of the Day”. The 1993 film follows Hopkins serving as an English butler to Lord Darlington (played by James Fox). The old-ish film registered a potent 96% RT score!

  • Howards End

I will finally point out the remaining elite movie of Hopkins, “Howards End”. Relationships between people with different values, yet increasing closeness is the plot of the complex theme. Can relationships between non-similar faces survive? The film came out a year before “The Remains of the Day”. The film notched a 94% RT score!

10 interesting facts about Tom Hiddleston

Cool facts about Tom Hiddleston

The emotional, yet assertive Tom Hiddleston has really dazzled movie audiences over the past decade. He has notably shined as Loki in Marvel entertainment and he even had a show (called Loki) revolve around him on Disney + in 2021. It should be said that Loki was his best piece of work by far and show the show garnered very favorable reviews — as Rotten Tomatoes gave the show a 92% score and 95% of Google users liked it.  With that said, I’m going to reflect and untwine 10 fascinating facts about the beloved actor Tom Hiddleston. 

  1. He earned a degree in classics at the University of Cambridge

Hiddlestone was a sharp, dedicated student in his university days, as he studied classics at the University of Cambridge. After his Cambridge tenure, he studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatics. He’s reflected on the rigorous 16-hour work slate that was often demanded at the Academy on many occasions. A fun fact about Hiddlestone is that he is able to speak Greek due to his studious nature as a young college student. The well-educated Marvel Villain is far from the only influential person to graduate from Cambridge – Isaac Newton, Alan Turing, and Sylvia Plath cherished degrees from the utterly prestigious university. 

  1. Hiddleston was introduced to the Marvel Verse in Thor (which debuted in 2011)

As widely enunciated, the smooth-talking Hiddlestone caught his big break with Marvel in the movie “Thor” – which took place in 2011. Of course, Hiddleston played “Loki”, who was Thor’s evil and adopted brother, and the scoundrel plans to overtake Asgard (home to Thor and Loki). Meanwhile, Thor is stuck on Earth and he finds a role as a guardian of Earth. The movie Thor didn’t actually blow audiences away – as it obtained a 77% Rotten Tomatoes score (and 84% of Google users admired the film), but it was clear that Hiddleston showed a plethora of potential in the shoes of the mighty Loki. 

  1. Hiddleston won the MTV Movie Award for Best Villain

Hiddleston really gained steam in the entertainment world in 2013 – as he won MTV Movie Award for Best Villain. His role in the Avengers was utterly impressive and it was well deserved for him to win the MTV award. It would be an understatement to say his surprising range of emotion mixed with wit is on another level. Kathryn Hahn (Agatha Harkness), Josh Brolin (Thanos), and Michael B. Jordan (N’Jadaka) are also recent Marvel villains to win the bad guy award from MTV. The Avengers film also garnered very favorable reviews — as Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 91% score. 

  1. He is an INFP personality type 

Hiddleston has been rumored as quite the unique personality type: INFP. The INFP stands for introverted, intuitive, feeling, and perceiving. It’s the ninth rarest MBTI and it’s one of the rarest MBTIs among males. Famous INFPs include Williams Shakesphere, Vincent Van Gogh, Johnny Depp, John Lennon, Bob Marley, and J.R.R. Tolkien. 

  1. He dated Taylor Swift

Hiddleston was quite popular for his relationship with the mystical singer Taylor Swift. They dated for 15 months between 2015 and 2016 until Swift put an end to the relationship. It was reported that nobody cheated, but things just didn’t work between the two. Hiddleston is currently engaged to actress Zawe Ashton (who has been in Blitz and Wanderlust)  and Swift is engaged to Joe Alwyn. 

  1. He shined in “Midnight in Paris”

Hiddleston isn’t only a super-villain, as he has also shined in Midnight in Paris. Owen Wilson (who is also in Loki), was the main character in the romantic film. Hiddleston plays F. Scott Fitzgerald in the inspiring film. The film garnered a very impressive 93% Rotten Tomatoes score. 

  1. He is a UNICEF ambassador 

Hiddleston has been a UNICEF ambassador raising awareness of the humanitarian crisis in Guinea and South Sudan. He traveled to Guinea in 2013 and South Sudan in 2016 & 2017. 

  1. Hiddleston will return as Loki in Loki: season two

Loki: season two is currently filming and there isn’t a release date just yet. With that said, it is expected that Loki 2 will showcase a scene at McDonalds. It would be an understatement to say Marvel and Loki fans are excited for Loki 2 – as Loki was the most watched Marvel series on Disney +. 

  1. He was born in London

Loki may have mixed emotions about Earth, but he was still born in one of the most interesting locations on the green planet: London. He isn’t the only mega-influential person who was born on Earth, as David Beckham, Alfred Hitchcock, Charlie Chaplin, and Dua Lipa also call London home.

  1.  Tom and Zawe Ashton are expecting their first kid

As previously mentioned, Tom is engaged to the fascinating Zawe Ashton. Well, it appears that their family is growing, as well. It was reported on July 1st of 2022 by Rappler that the pair is expecting their first kid.

10 interesting facts about Michael Fassbender

Cool facts about Michael Fassbender

By: Jake Rajala

Michael Fassbender is the most underrated actor (in entertainment) in my opinion. He’s been an authentic, intense, and bright gem in the following films: X-Men, Steve Jobs, Prometheus, Inglorious Bastards, Assassins Creed, and Slow West. Fassbender has arguably been at his best in his role as the powerful, brutal, and extremist Magneto in X-Men. With that stated, I’m going to untwine 10 fascinating facts about Michael Fassbender. 

  • Fassbender is married to Alicia Vikander 

Fassbender was a bit of a late bloomer with his love life, but it was clear that his patience paid off. He got married to Alicia Vikander in 2017 at the age of 40. Vikander is well-known for her role in Ex Machina, Jason Bourne, The Light Between Oceans (where she met the other main actor in Fassbender), and The Danish Girl. She is 12 years younger than Fassbender, but it’s clear that are both emotionally mature and gifted individuals. They both share a one-year-old son, as well. 

  • Fassbender is a race car driver 

Fassbender flexed his uniqueness (and rage) with his push in Le Mans. It should be noted that he’s admitted that racing was his first dream. He was a part of the Porsche championship and then with the Le Mans series in 2020. The rangy actor was also even involved in a scary crash in 24 hours of Le Mans qualifying. Hopefully, he can follow Matt Damon and Christian Bale in playing a future role in a racing movie. 

  • He has been phenomenal in the Alien series

As previously mentioned, Fassbender is featured in the Alien series. He plays David – who is a robot helping the humans. Fassbender is versatile, smooth-talking, and on-the-dot, in the role of David. He plays David in Prometheus and Walter in Alien Covenant. He is quite unpredictable in Alien Covenant, to say the least. Prometheus obtained a 73% Rotten Tomatoes score and 84% of Google users liked the movie. Covenant snatched a lesser impressive RT score (65). 

  • Fassbender is an INFJ personality type 

As a Michael Fassbender stan and INFJ personality type myself, I really believe he is an INFJ. He’s been pegged as an INFJ and he’s also been rumored to be many other MBTIs – which could explain his INFJ versatility. INFJ stands for introverted, intuitive, feeling, and judgment. The INFJ personality type is a true ambivert. It’s also a very intense and honestly weird personality type. Other famous INFJs include Gandhi, Carl Jung (who is also played by Fassbender in a Dangerous Method), JK Rowling, and Adrien Brody.

  • 300 

Fassbender may not be a lead character in 300, but he certainly was a bright addition to the epic 300 film. The spartan movie features Gerald Butler as Leonidas – as he leads 300 brave Spartan warriors into battle. Fassbender, who was 26 years old at the time, plays Stelios in the film. The film only garnered a 61% Rotten Tomatoes score, but it was really an underrated gem in 2006. 

  • Fassbender was on another level in Steve Jobs

Fassbender was constantly witty and upbeat in his lead role as Steve Jobs. Jobs garnered an impressive 85% Rotten Tomatoes score, too. The Jobs movie was blatantly marvelous as it was well-directed by Danny Boyle and it also yielded superb cinematography. 

Although, Fassbender didn’t enjoy his 16-hour work slate that was often demanded by Boyle. Nonetheless, he (w/ help from advice from his dad) stuck with the highly valuable role. 

  • Best supporting actor

Fassbender won the best supporting actor for his role as the wicked slave owner in 12 years as a slave. He even won his first academy award nomination in 2012 for best supporting actor in the movie. 

  • Born in Heidelberg, Germany 

Fassbender was born in Heidelberg, Germany on April 2nd, 1977. He’s been involved with German culture in a few different ways in his films. Jackson Browne, Necar Zadegan, and Ian Harding are also from the same town in Germany. He’s also fluent in German and Spanish.

  • Fassbender and James McAvoy are best pals

Fassbender (who plays Magneto) and McAvoy (who plays Charles Xavier) aren’t only best pals in X-Men, as they often engage in chess warfare. But, they are also very close friends off the camera. 

It’s also a fitting time to portray the last chess dual between the fantastic duo.

  • Frank

Fassbender’s face wasn’t shown in Frank (as the main character always wears a fake head), but his character and high verbal IQ were present in the film. The musical comedy even obtained a very favorable score from Rotten Tomatoes: 92%. It was directed by Lenny Abrahamson, who also directed “Room”, “The Little Stranger”, and “Garage”.

10 facts about Benedict Cumberbatch

Cool facts about Benedict Cumberbatch

By: Jake Rajala

Benedict Cumberbatch has been one of the very best actors over the past decade. In particular, he’s been a Marvel sensation – as he starred in Doctor Strange, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse, and many other Avengers movies. His work in Doctor Strange is arguably the biggest reason why the film ousted a very impressive 89% Rotten Tomatoes score & 85% of Google Users liked the movie. With that enunciated, I’m going to reminisce about the real-life magic of Cumberbatch and untwine 10 fascinating facts about him. 

  • The Power of the Dog

The first icebreaker with Benedict has to be his most recent work in the Power of the Dog – as he was even nominated for best actor at the Academy Awards in 2022 for the 2021 film. A selfish Rancher (played by Benedict) is incapable of respecting his brother, his brother’s wife, and his brother’s kid, as he consistently unveils abuse toward them. Eventually, Peter/his nephew (played by Kodi Smit-McPhee) seeks his revenge against his uncle. The film received extremely admirable reviews – as Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a 94% score. 

  • Teacher in Tibet 

It’s clear that Benedict really gained wisdom as a young lad when he traveled to Tibet to teach English at a monastery during his years at the University of Manchester. He even connected with Buddhism at a Tibetan monastery in Darjeeling. He even considers himself Buddhist at this moment. George Lucas and Steve Jobs also practiced Buddhism. 

  • The Imitation Game

Cumberbatch’s most underrated gem is undoubtedly the Imitation Game and it’s still an extremely fantastic piece of work. The Imitation Game follows Alan Turing (played by Cumberbatch) and his mission to crack Nazi codes (which includes the mighty Enigma). The film also depicts Turing with Aspergers syndrome. A 90% Rotten Tomatoes score was given to the film and 92% of Google Users enjoyed it, as well. 

  • Cumberbatch is an INFJ personality type 

Cumberbatch is an INFJ personality type – which shouldn’t be a surprise to Marvel and Benedict fans. INFJ stands for Introverted, intuition, feeling, and judgement. INFJ is the rarest personality type in the world. It should be noted that Michael Fassbender (aka Magneto) and Zoe Saldana (who plays Gamora) are both INFJ personality types, as well. 

  • Sherlock 

Before Robert Downey Jr. predicted the moves of opponents as Sherlock Holmes, Benedict Cumberbatch was Sherlock Holmes. He played Holmes in “Sherlock (2010)” alongside Martin Freeman (who played John H. Watts). 95% of Google Users liked the Benedict version of Sherlock. 

  • He has a rare condition called Heterochromia Iridis 

Benedict has a biological gift – also known as Heterochromia Iridis. It means that one eye possesses a different color than the other eye. It can be hard to notice the difference from afar, but things become more clear front and center. 

  • He was born in London, England 

Benedict was born in “The Big Smoke”, otherwise known as London, England. He was born on July 19th, 1976. Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Tilda Swinton (Witch in Narnia), and many others were born in London.

  • The Grinch (2018)

Let’s not forget that Benedict has a ton of holiday spirit – as he starred in The Grinch as the Grinch. The Christmas movie that was distributed by Universal Pictures was an enjoyable movie – largely from the intensity of Benedict.

  • The Courier 

Benedict does a fantastic job in The Courier (2021) – as Greville Wynne (a British businessman that was recruited into the Cold war by the US and the British). The garnered favorable reviews w/ Rotten Tomatoes giving it an 85% score and 83% of Google users liking the film. 

  • He is married to Sophie Hunter

His wife is Sophie Hunter, who is an English theatre director. They were actually friends for 17 years before getting engaged. They share three kids together (Hal, Christopher, and Finn).

10 interesting facts about Will Smith

Latest facts about Will Smith

By: Jake Rajala

Will Smith is one of the most diverse, uncancelable faces in Hollywood. Smith has had an authentic, rocky ride from the bottom to the top. He has flexed his dominance in movies, TV Shows, and music. With that enunciated, I’m going to break down the magic of Smith.

10. Family

Let’s be honest, Will Smith has a powerful and picture-perfect family. Will Smith and his son, Jaden, shined in Pursuit of Happyness together. The movie was liked by 93% of Google users & IMDb gave it a score of 8/10. Jaden and Will also starred in “After Earth” together. Jaden’s top performance arguably came in Karate Kid (2010) — where he starred with Jackie Chan! Will also has a daughter with a gift for music named Willow. Willow’s top songs are “Wait a Minute”, “Whip My Hair”, and “Time Machine”. Of course, Will’s wife, Jada, has been portrayed on the big screen. She was featured in “Ali” with Will and she’s been showcased in “The Matrix”.

9. Fresh Prince of Bel Air

Smith first won our hearts w/ his role in Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Smith is shown in the NBC sitcom as Will’s TV mom sends him away from Philadelphia to live with his wealthy uncle and aunt in Bel Air. He rocked the world in the show alongside Carlton Banks, Philip Banks, and Hilary Banks in Los Angeles. Quincy Jones, who was the executive producer, went with a risk by using the young Will in 1990. Jeff Pollack and Susan Borowitz are the two writers of the film. It’s safe to say the show with a catchy theme dazzled audiences — as a sky-high 95% of Google users admired the show!

8. Bad Boys

It would be a shame to forget Will’s role in Bad Boys — which is a film in 1995 about him and Martin Lawrence acting as Miami Dade police officers. There is quite the thrill behind the film that the director of the film, Michael Bay, orchestrated Bad Boys 2, Bad Boys for Life, and another Bad Boys film set to hit theaters in 2024. It’s worth noting that Vanessa Hudgens is in Bad Boys 2 and Gabrielle Union is in Bad Boys for Life.

7. Welcome to Earth

Smith’s ability to appeal to people and animals of different sorts is really shown in “Welcome to Earth”. This Disney + show follows him visiting different parts of the globe — such as the Namibia desert and descending 3,000+ feet into the ocean. The show blew critics away so much that it scored a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score. Sadly, there are only six episodes of one season of Welcome to Earth right now. On a side note, it’s worth keeping up with Gordon Ramsey’s “cooking visits” around the globe.

6. ENFP

Smith’s personality type is rumored to be “ENFP” — which stands for extroverted, intuitive, feeling, and perceiving. ENFPs make up 8.2% of the population, so they’re slightly less common than most personality types. ENFPs are compatible with INFJ, INFP, and ENFJ! Other famous ENFPs are Walt Disney, Robin Williams, Steve Jobs, John Lennon, and Robert Downey Jr.

5. Vipassana

As previously noted, Smith is a bit of a free-spirit. In his biography, “Will”, talks about doing a Vipassana retreat. He can’t use technology for 10 days or be in touch with anyone. He talked about the first time he meditated and that it made him cry. During the retreat, he talks about reading a whole book in one day for the first time in his life. He then stated that he would go on to read 100+ books in the next year.

4. Scientology

There is no secret that Scientology has a presence in LA and that celebrities have been involved in the cult. Tom Cruise, who has been famous for his role in Top Gun, is a key member of Scientology. Furthermore, John Travolta has publicly made his support for the ascending church. With that said, Will and his family are not a member of Scientology, according to “The New York Post”. The church may welcome millions of new members each year, but the Smiths are not included in that picture.

3. Slap

Smith is not a Saint, contrary to fans who began getting in his corner in the 90s. He was involved in an aggravated assault charge in 1989. The victim was nearly left blind in the incident. He recalls fellow people in jail asking for his autograph. Thankfully, Smith showed his empathetic and big-hearted side for 30-plus years after the incident. Unfortunately, his aggression came back to bite him at the Oscars in 2022 – when he struck Chris Rock — after Rock made a joke about Will’s wife. Will properly apologized to Rock and his audience after the assault. Rock was offered to Academy Awards last year, but he turned it down.

2. King Richard

Smith may have messed up w/ his impulsive decision to slap Rock. However, it doesn’t change the fact that he slapped Rock after his Oscar-winning performance in King Richard. King Richard is Smith’s lone Oscar victory (despite being nominated four times). In the 2021 movie, Smith plays the role of Richard Williams, who is the father of Sabrina and Reneeka. In the film — Richard is hell-bent on making his two daughters beat the odds and become star Tennis players. Of course, Serena is widely dubbed as the greatest female tennis player of all time, while Venus is regarded as a Top-10 female tennis player of all time. The film directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green warranted a potent 90% RT score!

1. Emancipation

Smith’s comeback movie is unequivocally “Emancipation” and it arrived in December of 2022. The movie portrayed Smith as a slave who escapes a plantation in Louisiana and he must get north to reach freedom. The gruesome, yet inspirational movie is on Apple TV and it’s more than worth the watch. It’s not as daunting as the slave film, “12 A respectable 82% of Google users admired the film directed by Antoine Fuqua!

Pink MBTI Revealed

What is the MBTI of Pink?

By: Jake Rajala

MBTI: ESTP

It may be an understatement to say Pink is an intense celebrity. Her personality type is pegged as ESTP – which stands for extroverted, sensory, thinking, and perceiving. ESTPs are 4.3% of the population. Other prominent ESTPs are Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Samuel L. Jackson, Donald Trump, and Eddie Murphy.

Spouse: Carey Hart

Net Worth: 200 million dollars

  • Best songs ranked

5. Who Knew

This banger showcases her at a county fair in the music video. Pink’s voice has sorrow and pain in the song. The song arrived in 2006, also known as the year Saddam was hanged. Glenn Rowley from Billboard dubs Who Knew as Pink’s best song!

4. Just Give Me a Reason

“Just Give Me a Reason” has the tune of a hopeless romantic. Yet, it finds time to be more upbeat than “Who Knew”. The song was released in 2012, also known as the year that Earth was supposed to come to an end.

3. Try

This song grabs the emotion better than every other song. It even sounds like Pink is in pain grasping for relief. The song from 2012 showcased Pink having an up-and-down relationship with an abusive male.

2. What About Us

Rage is nicely depicted in “What About Us”. Pink pleads for hope and logic in the song. There is also sincere intimacy in the song that came out in 2017!

  1. Walk Me Home

The sounds in “Walk Me Home” have a better tune than any other Pink video in my opinion. You can also feel the rage from Pink in this song. The song was introduced in 2019!

  • Birthplace

Pink was born in none other than Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Doylestown has a mere population of 8,250 people. Timothy Stack and Jody Lee Lipes are also from Doylestown.

“It takes a small town to keep you humble” – Bess Streeter Aldrich

  • Family

Pink had a somewhat chaotic upbringing. Her father, James, was an insurance salesman. His mother, Judith, was a nurse. At 10 years old, Pink’s parents got divorced. Of course, 41% of marriages end in divorce, according to “Wilkinson and Finkbeiner”. Pink has been blessed with a stable and loving home. Her husband, Carey Hart, is a once professional motorcycler. The pair enjoys two kids, Willow and Jameson, together.

  • Depression

It’s worth noting that Pink is human and she has had issues with her well-being. She has been vocal about having depression. Dan Reynolds, who is the lead singer of Imagine Dragons, also has suffered from depression. It should be noted that 3.8% of the US population suffers from depression. More than 1 in 5 people live with a mental illness.

“We are all role models to someone in this world, and we can all have an impact for good”. – Tony Dungy

  • Dear Mr. President

Pink hasn’t been shy with her view of humanitarian views. She wrote a song named “Dear Mr. President” in 2006 where she criticized former President George Bush for opposing gay marriage. Thankfully, society has evolved enough to allow people to love one another — regardless of their gender.

  • Influences

Pink, who gives her heart to every song, is surely motivated by the superior work that was laid out before her. Well, let it be known that she was inspired by Madonna and Janis Joplin. She joked that as a kid she thought she was Madonna’s daughter and that she thought she was adopted. Unfortunately, Jonis had a short journey in life – as she passed away in 1970 in Hollywood.

Outlook:

Pink is certainly not done singing. She sang at the Democratic National Convention in August of 2024. She has pondered the idea of having residency in Las Vegas, so she doesn’t have to travel.

10 interesting facts about James Gunn

Cool facts about James Gunn

By: Jake Rajala

The talented and utterly authentic James Gunn has orchestrated numerous brilliant Marvel movies over the past decade. His first baby was Guardians of the Galaxy (which unveiled a 92% Rotten Tomatoes score) – it was released in 2014. Since his first brilliant film was released, his handprints have been on Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (which ousted an 85% RT score) and Guardians of the Galaxy 3 (which will be released in 2013). With that enunciated, I’m going to untwine five interesting facts about the mind behind “Groot”. 

  1. He directed “The Suicide Squad (2021)” 

Gunn hasn’t only made monster motion pictures in the Marvel verse, but he has also created very fascinating movies outside of the Marvel niche. For instance, he constructed the juggernaut movie, “The Suicide Squad”, which was released in 2021 (which was basically a more impressive, non-remake, or non-sequel version of “The Suicide Squad (2016)”. It would be an understatement to say the latest “The Suicide Squad” film – also known as a movie I had to watch twice in the TCL Chinese Theatre, was amazing. It’s an action (dark) comedy film and it’s extremely entertaining. It was also a heart-warming film – which could be best reflected by the Rat Catcher scene towards the back of the movie. It should also be noted that Peacemaker, also known as John Cena, was yet another brilliant character designed by the eccentric James Gunn. The film garnered a very impressive 90% Rotten Tomatoes score. The 2021 movie by the director of Guardians of the Galaxy may be seen as a tad weird to a lot of people (which shouldn’t be a surprise), but if you love Gunn’s corkiness, you should feel comfortable with the diverse characters and graphics in the 2 hour and 12-minute film. 

  1. He’s the director of “Peacemaker” 

The Peacemaker (played by John Cena) is such an appealing character that it was only fitting that an entire TV series was crafted in his honor. Peacemaker follows the path of Peacemaker leaving his troubled and somewhat complex past behind and joining A.R.G.U.S on Project Butterly. He and his new team must find and eliminate parasitic butterfly-like beings that have possessed bodies across the planet. Peacemaker, who has been described as “a piece of s**t” by Gunn, is on a mission to prove he has good in him. The show has garnered very positive reviews —- as Rotten Tomatoes gave the show a 94% score and 91% of Google Users liked the film. 

  1. He’s engaged to Jennifer Holland

The director of “The Suicide Squad” (Gunn) and an actress in the film (Jennifer Holland) are currently engaged. Per Syfy, Holland stated, “I just told him my life story. We spent like 7 hours together and that’s it. That’s how it started.”. She has also been in American Pie Presents: The Book of Love. She may have a million fewer Twitter followers than Gunn, but they still really are a smart and intense match. 

  1. He is an ENFJ personality type

Gunn has confirmed his unique personality – as he took the Myers-Brigg test and got ENFJ as a result. The ENFJ personality type stands for extroverted, intuitive, feeling, and judgment. ENFJ is the second rarest MBTI among men. Other famous ENFJs include Barack Obama, Drake, Tupac Shakur, Jennifer Lawrence, and Denzel Washington. 

  1. He earned a masters degree from Columbia University

Gunn had a bit of a roller coaster journey in his college days. He was involved with the creation of political cartoons for St. Louis University and proceeded to graduate from the university. The ambitious creative had to take some time away to improve his mental health, but he eventually went to gain his masters degree from Columbia University. Other notable alumni from the university are Alexander Hamilton, Amelia Earnhart,  J.D. Salinger, and Julia Stiles.  

  1. He was a co-writer for “Dawn of the Dead”

The horror movie “Dawn of the Dead” was really a hidden gem in the year 2004. It was directed by Zack Snyder with a screenplay by Gunn. The movie starred Sarah Polley, Kim Poirer, Ty Burrell, and Ving Rhames. The horror movie garnered a modest 76% Rotten Tomatoes score and 88% of Google users enjoyed the movie. Per Screen Rant, Gunn has stated that he loved the 2004 version so much that he doesn’t want to re-make it.

  1. Gunn was temporarily removed from the Guardians of the Galaxy 3 project

It should be stated that creativity can be seen as a double-edged sword. Gunn has so much passion for the world, but he still has his own flaws. He once had many old tweets dug that were filled with sexual jokes about boys. The genius at a low point sent out an apology to the world and many of his co-workers showed love and admiration for him, too. Eventually, he was given the keys back to the project by Disney and he was able to direct the third Guardians of the Galaxy movie. 

  1. He was born in St. Louis, Missouri 

Star-lord (played by Chris Pratt) once replied to a question about his father’s whereabouts in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, “He ain’t from Missouri. That’s all I know.” Star-Lord’s father may not be from Missouri, but Gunn certainly was born in Missouri. He’s from St. Louis, which is the second-biggest city in Missouri. It rests along the Missippi river and it’s also home to the Gateway Arch. Chuck Berry, Andy Cohen, and Maya Angelou were also born in the city. 

  1. His brother is an actor

It’s obvious that entertainment is in the “Gunn” blood. James isn’t the only successful individual in the movie business in his family His brother, Sean, has appeared in many of James’s movies (such as Guardians of the Galaxy, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, The Suicide Squad, and Guardians of the Galaxy 3. He was portrayed as “The Weasel” in the Suicide Squad. He was also cast in the latest Thor movie, Thor: Love and Thunder. 

  1.  His first big screenplay was Scooby Doo

He wasn’t the director of Scooby Doo (2002), but he was the screenwriter for the adventurous film. The film only mustered out a 32% Rotten Tomatoes score, but 81% of Google Users admired the film. It was also clear that Gunn showed potential with his first screenplay. He would also be the screen-writer for Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.
