After having learned something once , a human ’ s brain rarely doubts that knowledge and acts just as it ’ s used to .
Some of those habits are connected with our parents while others are developed naturally by following trends — which is why we gladly use anti-wrinkle cream and rub our hips with a brush to get rid of cellulite .

After having learned something once, a human’s brain rarely doubts that knowledge and acts just as it’s used to. Some of those habits are connected with our parents while others are developed naturally by following trends — which is why we gladly use anti-wrinkle cream and rub our hips with a brush to get rid of cellulite. But what if we said that all of the aforementioned habits, as well as many others, were complete nonsense?
We at Bright Side are sure that it’s normal to occasionally doubt and verify information for your own safety (and intelligence), no matter how convincing it sounds. That’s why we’ve busted 9 myths that have taken firm but unreasonable positions in many people’s lives.
Myth #1: You can’t boil water twice.
It’s believed that water shouldn’t be boiled twice because it can develop carcinogens this way. Moreover, it becomes heavier and “dead,” and releases deuterium, which leads to aging of the body. However, scientists’ new studies prove that this statement is a common myth. Water itself contains certain elements such as deuterium, fluorides, and nitrates. But the amount of these things is so small that it doesn’t affect our bodies and is in no way related to the repeated boiling. The only thing we should check on a regular basis is the limescale that appears in the kettle. Also, we shouldn’t neglect the filtration of tap water.
Myth #2: Dry massage brushes help get rid of cellulite.
Massages with dry brushes that have gained incredible popularity don’t actually help get rid of cellulite at all — in fact, they’re related to a number of contraindications that aren’t typically spoken about. The most you can expect from these brushes is scrubbing your skin and it’s impossible to break up fat lumps with such actions. Conversely, you can make it worse because if you keep rubbing your skin every day, it can lose its elasticity and become traumatized and dry. Traditional massage treatments are more effective in fighting cellulite.
Myth #3: You need to lift your phone up to improve cell reception.
Whenever we have a bad mobile internet connection, our hand seems to automatically move upward. But does this really help? The thing is, the level of the connection around the city is somewhat even. But, of course, there are some factors, such as the remoteness of the station from where you are or other buildings that stand in the signal’s way, that affect it. Therefore, raising your hands in an attempt to find a better signal while standing in the same place doesn’t make any sense. Taking several steps away from your current location might be a better idea.
Myth #4: You should stretch before workouts.
There are 2 types of stretching: static and dynamic. Researchers studied the first type and came to the unequivocal conclusion that static stretching is not a very good way to warm up before active workouts. Not only does it not decrease the risk of trauma (which can happen due to a lack of strength, not flexibility) but it also weakens muscle endurance, which leads to less intensity and a shorter duration of the training, especially when it comes to running.
Myth #5: You can’t swim right after a meal.
The old opinion that says one should wait at least 30 minutes after having a meal before going swimming is nothing more than a myth. It’s based on the idea that after having a heavy meal, our blood rushes to the digestive tract and doesn’t sufficiently supply the legs, arms, and lungs. However, there’s enough blood in the human body for it to function fully, even after overeating. But we should note that intensive workouts on a full stomach are never a good idea and it’s not necessarily connected with swimming. Therefore, experts don’t see an issue with staying in the water after you eat.
Myth #6: You can’t take baths while on your period.
Girls are usually afraid to take baths during their periods for one reason: they believe the exposure to hot water may increase bleeding. But the supposed negative effect of taking baths during a period hasn’t been proven — conversely, warm water can help relax the muscles and decrease period pain. The only thing you should care about is hygiene, which is why you should always get ready for taking a bath in advance.
Myth #7: Hydrogel patches remove wrinkles.
Hydrogel patches are able to reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness under the eyes with the help of a cooling effect but are useless at getting rid of wrinkles. This is because the useful elements in patches that are designed for skin rejuvenation are too big and can’t seep through the top layer of the epidermis in order to get to the deeper layers. That’s why they were replaced by patches with microneedles. But dermatologists warn about the short duration of the visible effect after their use.
Myth #8: You shouldn’t drink during meals.
People say that the main reason water can negatively affect digestion is because it dilutes gastric juice and interferes with the way the food is processed. Now, there are many nuances that make this opinion wrong. First of all, liquid in the stomach is absorbed quite fast; secondly, our body always produces enough gastric juice and takes all factors into account, like the volume and consistency of food. And finally, the presence of water in the stomach doesn’t contradict a human’s physiology.
Myth #9: It’s okay to wash chicken before cooking it.
Washing raw chicken before cooking it is quite a stable and seemingly logical tradition but it actually brings more harm than good. According to research, when washing chicken, we spread various bacteria (like salmonella or campylobacter) around our kitchen through splashes. This bacteria doesn’t die from water and can unnoticeably fly into our eyes or get on surfaces (like towels, clean dishes, and even food), which increases the risk of further infection/poisoning. Therefore, experts recommend avoiding washing raw poultry and suggest giving it a prolonged heat treatment in the absence of visible dirt on its surface. That should be enough to kill any harmful bacteria.

Very often, when we buy some product, we don’t even think about the history behind the company that produces it. And many brands have amazing facts in their biographies that make them really different from others.
We at Bright Side were really curious about the outstanding facts we learned about some famous companies and we decided to share them with you.
M.A.C.
The first M.A.C. products were literally made in a kitchen. 2 friends were making the products at home and selling them at salons.
The main clients of the company were professional photographers and makeup artists because the beauty products were really resilient. Soon, all the products that were made for fashion runways became accessible to any woman.
M.A.C. became truly successful in 1990 when Madonna asked the brand to create a red lipstick that would be good for several hours on stage. Especially for the singer, they made the famous Russian Red, which is still iconic today.
Hermès Birkin
One of the most famous bags in the world is the Hermès Birkin. According to a study, buying this accessory may be a better investment than buying gold because the price of gold might fluctuate, but the price of a Birkin continues to grow at a rate of about 14.2% a year.
Today, this bag is very popular among collectors, for example, Victoria Beckham has over 100 of them.
This legendary accessory happened in the air, on a plane, where Jean-Louis Dumas, one of the heads of Hermès, and actress Jane Birkin were sitting. After Jane complained about the fact that there was no comfortable handbag for everyday use, Jean-Louis decided to create this bag.
Soon after that, Jane was invited to the head office of Hermès, where she was asked to choose the best draft. One year later, the company made a big bag that was a great choice for short trips. Its main advantage was its comfortable pockets. The accessory was then named after the famous English actress.
Over time, the Hermès Birkin has become a true legend, and despite its high price, a lot of people want to buy it.
When it first went on the market in 1984, the bag cost around $2,000, today, the price starts at $11,000.
Tefal
The story of the famous Tefal frying pans started in 1954 when the French engineer and fisherman, Marc Grégoire, tried to make his rod more comfortable, So, he decided to cover the aluminum surface with polytetrafluoroethylene.
Soon after that, Marc Grégoire’s wife asked him to try the material on her pans. The result was amazing because they created a surface that nothing would stick to. It was a great thing for hundreds of thousands of women.
2 years later, the company Tefal was set up that made cooking pans with this non-stick surface. The name was made from 2 words: TEFlon and ALuminium. By the end of 1956, the company was making 100 frying pans a day and by the end of 1961, they were producing about one million pans a month.
Once the Tefal pans were being sold all around the world, Grégoire decided to give control to more experienced managers and he continued to concentrate on inventions. For example, Tefal was the first company to come up with the wireless iron.
Louis Vuitton
The famous Louis Vuitton bag was made in 1930. This model was called Speedy 30. The thing was that it only came in one size and was 30 centimeters in width.
Soon, actress Audrey Hepburn, who was pretty petite, asked Louis Vuitton to make a smaller version of the Speedy for her, so she could not only use it on trips but also every day. The company listened to the actress and released the Speedy 25, which is a classic today.
Now there are 5 sizes in this line: nano, 25, 30, 35, and 40.
Throughout its whole history, Louis Vuitton has never done any sales. At the end of each year, the company burns the products that didn’t sell in order to keep the brand exclusive.
Louboutin
The founder of the company, Christian Louboutin, was born in Paris into a poor family with many children and he was always interested in fashion. According to him, he got interested in shoes in 1976 when he visited the National Museum of Arts of Africa and Oceania. There, he saw a sign that prohibited women from entering the building wearing high heels because they could damage the wooden floor. “I wanted to defy that,” Louboutin said. “I wanted to create something that broke rules and made women feel confident and empowered.”
He founded the Christian Louboutin company in 1991. The first person who bought his shoes was Caroline, the Princess of Hanover. She was the first to create desire around this shoe brand.
The famous red soles appeared in 1993. When the designer actually saw his projects in real life, he didn’t like the shoes, he said it was as if they lacked energy. In order to make the design more lively, he took red nail polish and painted the soles. Later, he said he knew it would be a huge success.
Louboutin shoes are often counterfeited. Christian himself filed a lot of lawsuits, for example, against another famous brand — Yves Saint Laurent. So, the court decided that Louboutin had the exclusive right to make shoes with red soles if the top color was different and Yves Saint Laurent could make shoes with red soles only if the top was the same color.
Chupa Chups
Confectioner Enric Bernat invented the famous candy on a stick in 1958. As the legend goes, he saw a mother that was getting angry at a child for getting his hands dirty with melted candy. Then, Enric decided to make a candy especially for kids.
At first, Bernat decided to name his product “Gol,” meaning ball, but then he decided that it wasn’t a very memorable name.
In the end, it was named Chupa Chups. The name of the brand comes from the Spanish verb chupar, meaning “to suck.”
To sell the products better, Enric Bernat told the owners of stores to put them next to the cash registers, where kids could reach them.
In the beginning, the sticks in Chupa Chups were made of wood.
In 1980, the company started an anti-tobacco campaign with the posters where cowboys had Chupa Chups sticks in their mouths.
In the ’90s, many celebrities started to appear eating Chupa Chups. For example, Madonna, Uma Thurman, and Michael Jackson. This is how Chupa Chups made their segue into no longer being just for children.
Nutella
In 1946, Italian confectioner Pietro Ferrero made the first batch of this cocoa flavored spread. It wasn’t sold in jars, but it looked like blocks sold in tin foil. Then the confectioner realized he didn’t have enough chocolate — it was hard to come by at the time. So, Ferrero decided to add hazelnut.
The business was taken over by his son and in the ’60s he released the spread in glass jars. It was called Nutella. According to the classic recipe, every 400-gram jar contains 52 hazelnuts, almost a glass of milk, and a bit of cocoa.
Global production in 2013 was about 350,000 tonnes.
The slogan of the brand sounds like this, “Che mondo sarebbe senza Nutella?” which can be translated as, “What would the world be like without Nutella?”
Tiffany & Co.
This jewelry brand was founded in 1837 in New York, by Charles Tiffany and his classmate John Young. These young guys borrowed $1,000 from Charles’s father and opened a jewelry store.
But over time, things got better, and very soon the company made their first mail-order catalog in the US known as the “Blue Book.” Since then, this special blue shade has been the signature color of the brand.
Tiffany & Co developed the design of the modern engagement ring. Before, diamonds were very deep in rings which is why they couldn’t reflect as much light and didn’t look as sparkly. So, the experts at Tiffany decided to raise the diamond above the ring to make it more visible.
For a long time, the company has been the official supplier of jewels for royalty in Europe.
Thanks to the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, everyone around the world found out about the company. But people were wondering, how could someone have breakfast at a store if there was no cafe? It turned out that when Truman Capote was writing his novel, there was a popular joke in New York about a guy from the rural area that wanted to look like a city guy. When he was asked about which restaurant in New York he would like to have breakfast at, he said, “Let’s have breakfast at Tiffany’s.”
Levi’s
In 1853, an immigrant from Bavaria, Levi Strauss, was bringing different products to San Francisco. He sold everything before the ship even got to the city.
Soon, he opened the Levi Strauss & Co store. At some point, they started making pants out of a softer French fabric called Serge de Nime. To make it easier to say, they started to just call it denim.
In 1872, a Latvian Jewish immigrant, Jacob Davis, had an idea to fix the pockets with metal pins. So, he and Levi patented this idea and the pants became even more popular.
It is interesting that Levi Strauss himself never wore the pants made by his company because they were meant for the working class and he was a wealthy businessman.
In 1935, jeans became a fashion trend and since the ’50s, they have been seen on famous celebrities like Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe. And Marlon Brando even appeared in Levi’s jeans in A Streetcar Named Desire.
Are you interested in the history of famous brands or do you only care about the quality of the products?

A home is a place where we can finally relax and enjoy coziness and rest. However, the word coziness means different things to different people, especially when it comes to people from various countries.
We at Bright Side became interested in the peculiarities that people from all over the world have in their homes. Some nuances seem normal to their owners, but surprise foreigners.
1. There are no hallways in Korean apartments.
Most apartments in Korea, especially the newer ones, are so tiny that they don’t have hallways the way we’re used to seeing them. After opening the front door, residents enter directly into the living room, which is usually joined with the kitchen. The area at the entrance might have a place for a closet or a shoe shelf, but the size of the area itself is very small. In an inexpensive apartment, it can be a small square just inside the front door where people are supposed to remove their shoes. Apparently, not everyone likes this type of layout and that’s why various design solutions are being developed, like in the photo below: in order to create the effect of a separate room, space is fenced off with transparent walls.
2. Scandinavians build eco-houses.
The term “passivhaus” (or “passive house” in English) first appeared in Germany, and Scandinavian countries have happily adopted this invention. The main idea is that the planning takes into account the tightness of the building, energy-saving systems, solar panels, and so on. As a result, the houses use 75% to 95% less energy for heating and cooling and have around 94% less heat-related carbon emissions in comparison to average houses.
3. Dutch people like to show off their homes through huge windows.
People in the Netherlands might suspect foreigners are living in a house if they see thick curtains on the windows. This might partially come from religious beliefs about how honest citizens should have nothing to hide. However, this comes in especially handy during holidays when people want to show off their decorations, like twinkling fairy lights.
4. Marble floors in Italy save residents from the heat.
Many apartments in Italy have marble floors not only in the hallway or in the bathroom, but also in the bedrooms. They may be porcelain, stoneware, marble, or any other “cooling” material. They serve as ACs in hot seasons and help the person living there to get through the summer months in comfort.
5. Balconies in Japan are for laundry.
There are many things in Japanese houses that might seem unusual for Europeans and here is one more. They often place their laundry on the balcony to dry. Not only is it a convenient place to hang wet clothes to dry, but it’s also a good place for dusting mattresses.
6. Safe rooms are popular in Israel.
Houses in Israel may contain a “security room” where one can hide if military actions break out. One of the bedrooms will have fortified walls, a powerful iron interior door, and special impenetrable shutters on the windows.
7. The French believe that it’s prestigious to live downtown, even if the apartments are small.
Apartments in the center of large French cities, especially in Paris, are located in historic buildings, which is why they’re small and not very comfortable. But still, living in the city center is considered to be prestigious, even if one has to sacrifice the size of their living space. In any case, an apartment of any size will probably have a special table for serving an aperitif.
8. The windows in Indian bedrooms have something special.
In India, the windows of the bedrooms where women live often face the courtyard. This makes good use of the day’s light. In this way, workrooms can be well-lit with equal levels of illumination, negating the need for artificial lighting.
9. People in Mexico love bright colors both inside and outside.
The main thing that makes Mexican houses stand out is the bright coloring that’s both on the façade and in the interior. Combinations of pink and orange, burgundy and blue, and green and pink are often found in Mexican homes, regardless of the status of whoever lives in them.


brightside--2020-09-15--Why Your Eyes Get Crusty When You Sleep

Why Your Eyes Get Crusty When You Sleep

We ’ ve all woken up in the morning to some crusty gunk in our eyes .
It ’ s a natural function in our eyes and this crust has a purpose .
But at the same time , it may also signal a problem .
We at Bright Side are also very curious as to why this gunk appears in our eyes , so we found out why it happens every time we wake up from sleeping .
Let ’ s dig into this !
1 .
It ’ s because our eyes stay closed all night .
When @ @ @ @ @ @ @ build up in the corners of your eyes , and sometimes even along the lash line .
They appear because your eyes don ’ t get to lubricate themselves like they do whenever you blink .
or “ sleep ” in your eyes can be wet and sticky or dry and crusty .
They come from your eye ’ s tear film , which is secreted when you blink and that keeps your eyes lubricated .
These are also your body ’ s defense mechanisms that protect your eyes from things like bacteria @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dry eyes commonly happen when you are looking at your phone or computer screen for a long period , even when you ’ re in an air-conditioned place .
Your eyes don ’ t get enough of the tears that should be lubricating them and it might affect your eye crusts with a stinging feeling .
2 .
You ’ re not removing eye crust often enough .
When you wake up from sleeping , you might be in the routine of immediately checking your phone or maybe picking up your toothbrush , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ boogers in your eyes first .
remove them the right way is to dampen a washcloth or use warm water , which will also effectively eliminate all the crusts .
3 .
Your eyes may be infected .
If you ’ re seeing these eye boogers often , this is not normal .
Each person has a unique situation with this gunk .
You probably want to call a doctor if you are not sick and see if there are signs of an eye infection .
Were you curious about how these things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you notice your eyes being crusty after you sleep ?
We wan na know your thoughts !

We’ve all woken up in the morning to some crusty gunk in our eyes. It’s a natural function in our eyes and this crust has a purpose. But at the same time, it may also signal a problem.
We at Bright Side are also very curious as to why this gunk appears in our eyes, so we found out why it happens every time we wake up from sleeping. Let’s dig into this!
Why it commonly appears:
1. It’s because our eyes stay closed all night.
When you’re asleep, these crusts build up in the corners of your eyes, and sometimes even along the lash line. They appear because your eyes don’t get to lubricate themselves like they do whenever you blink.
2. It’s a necessary component of good eye health.
The eye discharge or “sleep” in your eyes can be wet and sticky or dry and crusty. They come from your eye’s tear film, which is secreted when you blink and that keeps your eyes lubricated. These are also your body’s defense mechanisms that protect your eyes from things like bacteria.
Why it leads to complications:
1. You have dry eyes.
Dry eyes commonly happen when you are looking at your phone or computer screen for a long period, even when you’re in an air-conditioned place. Your eyes don’t get enough of the tears that should be lubricating them and it might affect your eye crusts with a stinging feeling.
2. You’re not removing eye crust often enough.
When you wake up from sleeping, you might be in the routine of immediately checking your phone or maybe picking up your toothbrush, but you should actually be removing those boogers in your eyes first. One important step to remove them the right way is to dampen a washcloth or use warm water, which will also effectively eliminate all the crusts.
3. Your eyes may be infected.
If you’re seeing these eye boogers often, this is not normal. Each person has a unique situation with this gunk. You probably want to call a doctor if you are not sick and see if there are signs of an eye infection.

Fillion said , `` You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to audition .

When Joss found out that I auditioned for Angel — he didn ’ t know — he felt bad .

I could be a great character — or some weird little man in the background in Arkham Asylum.
” But unfortunately , he never got to play any of the Batman characters .
Lucy Lawless could have become Galadriel in The Lord of the Rings .

Characters become iconic often because of the actors that portrayed them. This is why it’s so hard to imagine someone else playing our favorite characters. At the same time, even famous actors come to castings and fail them, so the roles go to someone else. Or, they might even do a great job but still not get the part. It’s a hard job.
We at Bright Side have a good imagination, but it’s still too hard to imagine Tom Cruise playing Cliff Booth. Especially for you, we found out which other actors could have gotten famous parts.
Iwan Rheon auditioned for the roles of Viserys and Jon Snow in Game of Thrones.
In the beginning, Iwan Rheon auditioned for the part of Viserys, but a different actor got the role. Later, he was asked to return to audition for the role of Jon Snow but, as you know, Kit Harington got it. But the producers liked Iwan Rheon and they didn’t want to lose him. Fortunately, there were a lot of roles in Game of Thrones so when they were looking for someone to portray Ramsay Bolton, they instantly offered the part to Iwan. Iwan says, “Yes, everything could have been different. But I think they made the right choice. With me, it would have been a totally different Jon Snow.”
Emily Blunt turned down the role of Black Widow in Iron Man 2
Today, it’s really hard to imagine anyone else in the role of Natasha Romanoff except Scarlett Johansson, but Marvel Studios was considering a lot of different actresses. According to Emily, the only thing that stopped her from wearing a dark leather costume was her busy schedule and her work on Jack Black’s Gulliver’s Travels. Later, the actress said that she was even happy she didn’t get to play Natasha, “Usually the female parts in a superhero film feel thankless: She’s the pill girlfriend while the guys are whizzing around saving the world.”
Katie Holmes was almost Annette Hargrove in Cruel Intentions.
The studio wanted Katie Holmes, the star of Dawson’s Creek. But scriptwriter Roger Kumble decided that he needed someone with a stronger personality. He saw Ryan Phillippe’s girlfriend once (Reese Witherspoon) and asked him to invite her for dinner. At the dinner, Roger literally kneeled down before the young actress. He remembers saying, “Please, it’ll be 15 days, you’ll be great.” And Reese was like, “I’ll do it. But we need to work on the character.” Roger was like, “Anything, anything, anything. She wanted to strengthen the character, and she was right. And she and I got together, and we gave Annette more bite, so she wasn’t a doormat. And I’m very grateful to her for that.”
Tom Cruise lost the part of Cliff Booth in Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood.
Quentin Tarantino wanted Cliff Booth to be Tom Cruise. The actor even met the director and they discussed the part. But Tom was busy with other projects so he couldn’t accept the offer. Now, it’s hard to imagine anyone but Brad Pitt in this role — he even won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. And the Pitt — DiCaprio duo was absolutely amazing. As Tarantino said, “It’s like lassoing a couple of wild stallions.” They are such terrific actors and such great movie stars!
Nathan Fillion auditioned for the part of Angel in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Nathan Fillion, who you might know from Castle and Firefly, wanted to portray Angel in the iconic series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Fillion said, "You understand your job as an actor is to audition. Your job is to go out there and look for work... When Joss found out that I auditioned for Angel — he didn’t know — he felt bad. He said, “I don’t remember you.” I told him not to worry, I never made the first cut... And when Firefly was canceled, he said, “Come and do the last 5 episodes of Buffy for me.”
Cameron Diaz could have played Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat.
Cameron Diaz was already preparing for the role of Sonya, but she broke her wrist during the preparation for the fight scenes and couldn’t continue working on the film. Then, the producers noticed Bridgette Wilson who was in Adam Sandler’s Billy Madison. Bridgette remembers, “Then on my last day of filming on Billy Madison, they called me up and asked, ‘Will you do it if we fly you out the next morning?’ and I said ‘Yeah!’ I was so happy both worked out.”
Tilda Swinton as Sybill Trelawney in the Harry Potter series
Tilda Swinton turned down the role of Sybill Trelawney in the Harry Potter films for a simple reason: Boarding schools were something she really disliked. She once explained in an interview, “That’s why I dislike films like Harry Potter, which tend to romanticize these places. I think they are a very cruel setting in which to grow up and I don’t feel children benefit from that type of education. Children need their parents and love.”
Keanu Reeves dreamt about the role of Wolverine.
When Keanu Reeves was asked about the roles he would like to play, he said he’d love to portray Wolverine, but he knows that he missed his chance because Hugh Jackman was so good. And we just can’t understand why Keanu Reeves is still not in the Marvel or DC universe.
Shailene Woodley as Rey in Star Wars
The director had a shortlist of candidates for the part. Some of the actresses considered included Jennifer Lawrence, Shailene Woodley, Elizabeth Olsen, Felicity Jones, Jessica Henwick, and Billie Lourd, the daughter of Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia in the original film. In the end, Lucasfilm decided to hire some not-so-famous actors for the main roles. This is how the stunning Daisy Ridley got to play Rey.
Harrison Ford turned down the part of Alan Grant in Jurassic Park.
Director Steven Spielberg and actor Harrison Ford worked together on the Indiana Jones franchise, but when Spielberg offered Ford the role of Alan Grant, he turned it down. So, Sam Neill portrayed Grant perfectly. And there’s even a poster where Ford is running away from a dinosaur. The actor himself didn’t comment on the situation so we can only guess — maybe he thought the part was too similar to Indiana Jones?
Josh Hutcherson as Spider-Man in The Amazing Spider-Man. The Movie
Before the actor became popular as Peeta from Hunger Games, he was one of the first candidates for the role in The Amazing Spider-Man. The Movie. There are even some videos from his audition. But in the end, the spider suit went to Andrew Garfield. Josh Hutcherson says, “Yeah, of course, I’d think about doing it: It’s Spider-Man, that’d be really cool.”
Eddie Redmayne wanted to be Kylo Ren in Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens.
The charming English actor that portrayed Newt Scamander wanted to be the son of Han Solo and Leia Organa. He remembers that it was a very bad audition for him, “And she was just sitting there and I was trying again and again with different versions of my kind of ‘koohh paaaah’ [Darth Vader breathing sound] voice. And after like 10 shots the casting director is like, ‘You got anything else?’ I was like, ‘No.’” He also failed the audition for the main role in The Hobbit. But maybe it’s for the best because he had more time for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Courtney Love as Satine in Moulin Rouge!
The outstanding Courtney Love wanted to get the part of Satine. Even though Courtney is great at what she does, it is hard to imagine her in this role, so we can only imagine what the film would be like if the producers hadn’t chosen Nicole Kidman.
Tom Hiddleston as Thor
The smiley British man actually tried to get the main part. He worked out and put on some weight, but the producers said, “Actually, you should play the bad guy.” This is how Tom became the charming, yet evil brother of Thor.
Josh Hartnett as Loki in Thor
Josh Hartnett was really interested in this character and even met the director to talk about the part but Tom Hiddleston got it. It is so hard to imagine anyone else but Tom in the role of the cunning brother of Thor, right?
Cara Delevingne as Alice in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
The main part in Tim Burton’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was played by Mia Wasikowska, but supermodel and actress Cara Delevingne could have gotten it. She said that she did a bit too much in the casting, “My interpretation of Alice was a little crazy. I overplayed it — the way a young girl would overplay all her emotions.” She was very upset when she found that someone else got the part, “It was a hard lesson, but it sort of propelled me toward what I’m doing it now; it was the precursor motivation.”
Robin Williams always wanted the role of Joker.
Robin really wanted to be in the Batman franchise. First, he took part in the casting for Tim Burton’s Batman, auditioning for the role of the Joker, but Jack Nicholson got the part. Then, he had a chance to get the part in Batman Forever, this time playing the Riddler, but he didn’t get it again. When Robin found out that Christopher Nolan was looking for someone to portray Joker, he said, “Chris, call me, I’ll do anything. I could be a great character — or some weird little man in the background in Arkham Asylum.” But unfortunately, he never got to play any of the Batman characters.
Lucy Lawless could have become Galadriel in The Lord of the Rings.
The amazing Cate Blanchett could have been replaced by Xena from Xena: Warrior Princess because she was originally offered the part. But the actress turned it down because of a very busy schedule. Later, Lucy said, “It would have been great if I was part of this success but truthfully, it did break my heart not being able to be a part of the film.”
Which of these actors do you think would have done a great job in the roles they wanted?

On September 15, 2020, the world will celebrate 130 years since the birth of Agatha Christie, one of the world’s most famous detective novelists and short-story writers. Her works have sold over 2 billion copies, while Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple joined the company of the most recognizable fictional detectives. The life story of Agatha herself could’ve become the storyline of a novel or a movie: she started reading at 4 and writing at 10, she wrote her first novel on a dare, learned to surf, and once mysteriously disappeared for 10 days without a trace.
Here at Bright Side, we are fans of the intriguing detective stories told by Agatha Christie, and we can’t wait to tell you her own story that seems to be just as exciting as her work.
She started to read at 4, wrote her first poem at 10, and spent her childhood playing alone with imaginary friends.
Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller was born on September 15, 1890, and was the youngest of 3 children born to parents Frederick Alvah Miller and Clarissa Margaret Miller. Agatha had 2 older siblings, her sister Margaret Frary, born in 1879, and her brother Louis Montant, born in 1880. The family mainly lived in Devon, England, but they traveled a lot and once spent a whole year traveling around France. Agatha recollected that her mother Clara insisted that she not go to school and instead be home-schooled. Clara also didn’t want Agatha learn to read until she was 8 years old, but the curious girl was already reading by the age of 4. Agatha’s sister and brother were much older than her, and she spent a lot of time in her childhood playing alone with her pets and imaginary friends. Agatha also enjoyed reading, and wrote her first poem, The Cowslip, at the age of 10. In 1901 Agatha’s father died, and the writer later confessed that this tragedy marked the end of her childhood at the age of 11. In 1905, Christie’s mother sent her to Paris where she studied in boarding schools and majored in playing piano and vocals.
She wrote her first detective novel on a dare, challenged by her sister.
Agatha Christie wrote her first short story, The House of Beauty, when she was 18 years old, and then continued writing a series of stories written under pseudonyms which included Mac Miller, Nathaniel Miller, and Sydney West. Many of the early works by Agatha Christie were rejected, including her first novel, Snow Upon the Desert, but Christie went on writing, inspired by the works of Wilkie Collins and Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories about Sherlock Holmes. Christie wrote her first detective novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, in 1920 after her sister challenged her to write a detective story. This is the novel in which readers met Hercule Poirot, Inspector Japp, and Artur Hastings for the first time, and in its own way, it marked the beginning of Christie’s successful writing career.
She was married twice, learned how to surf with her first husband, and joined her second husband on archaeological expeditions.
Agatha Christie and her husband Max Mallowan while visiting the Acropolis in Athens, 1958
Agatha met her first husband, army officer Archibald Christie, at a dance in 1912. The 2 quickly fell in love and got married in 1914 on Christmas Eve. Agatha gave birth to her only child, Rosalind Margaret Clarissa, in 1919. In 1922 the couple left Rosalind with Agatha’s mother and sister and went on a journey around the world during which they visited South Africa, Hawaii, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. During their trip they learned to surf and they even “were among the first Britons to surf standing up” in Waikiki. In 1928 Agatha and Archibald got divorced, and he married another woman a week later. Christie kept her surname for her writing career. In 1930 she went on a trip to Baghdad, Iraq, where she first met her second husband, archeologist Max Mallowan. Together Agatha and Max went on his archaeological expeditions, and those journeys inspired several of her novels that were set in the Middle East. The 2 were married until Christie died in 1976.
She once disappeared for 10 days and was nowhere to be found.

On December 3, 1926 Agatha disappeared from her home after a quarrel with her first husband, Archibald. Earlier that year, he asked Agatha for a divorce — he had fallen in love with another woman. The morning after the mysterious disappearance, Agatha’s car was found next to a chalk quarry with an expired driver’s license and some clothes inside. The case instantly made headlines, and newspapers offered rewards for any information about the novelist. Christi’s disappearance was reported in The New York Times, and she was searched for by police and thousands of volunteers. On December 14, 1926, she was found at the Swan Hydropathic Hotel in Yorkshire, England. When getting registered at the hotel, she used the name of her husband’s lover — Mrs. Tressa Neele. There are different opinions on why Agatha disappeared, some suggest the reason for her actions was a nervous breakdown, while others believe she did it to embarrass her husband and didn’t expect that it would turn into a public drama.
She left us with 66 detective novels, 14 short-story collections, and a vacation house we can rent.
Agatha Christie died on January 12, 1976, at the age of 85. Her breathtaking legacy includes 14 collections of short stories and 66 novels that all together have sold over 2 billion copies and given birth to regular characters known to thousands of people all over the world: Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, Parker Pyne, and Harley Quin.

It’s good if a person meets a nice squirrel, but what if a bear, a wolf, or a wild boar appears in the field where you’re going to pick blackberries?
The Bright Side editorial figured out how someone should behave when meeting wild animals, in order to avoid scary consequences.
Encountering a bear
Keep in mind that an animal is as scared of you as you are of it. Your task while walking or hiking in the woods is to make as much noise as possible. You can sing, talk loudly, stomp, or laugh. That’s how you’ll inform the local predators about your presence and scare them away. If a meeting takes place, a human needs to behave like a predator, not like prey, in order to protect themselves: Don’t run. Sharp movements can provoke an animal to attack you and bears attack very fast. Slowly step back in the direction where you came from.
Lift your arms above your head and spread your legs wide apart — this will make you appear larger than you really are.
Don’t look in the animal’s eyes. Direct eye contact in the animal world is a signal to fight. Watch the animal with your peripheral vision. Direct eye contact is possible if you encounter a black bear.
Wild animals are scared of noise, especially when it’s not natural, like metal clanking. But it mostly works with young animals, whereas elder animals might conversely get interested in a strange sound.
If your meeting happens at nighttime, blind the animal with a flashlight. This will disorient it.
If you are in a tent camp, make sure to wake up your neighbors right away. If there are a lot of people, the bear won’t attack and will step back.
Don’t hide in the tent. It will only stimulate the bear’s natural hunting instinct.
You can also climb a tree, but keep in mind that this method only works with big bears. Young ones can climb trees perfectly. Moreover, you need to make sure that the tree is strong enough, otherwise, the bear can fall down.
Carefully get behind an obstacle (like a stone or a tree). A visual barrier is one of your best protectors. If the bear is threatening you, don’t spray a repellent liquid and don’t use other protective equipment. You only need to start defending yourself physically if the animal starts to attack you. If you notice that the bear’s ears are pressed back and that the hair on its nape of the neck is raised, spray the liquid immediately because those are the signs of a soon-to-be attack. Once you use the spray, start moving back and find a protected place. The main thing to keep in mind is to not panic and to behave calmly. The chances of meeting a hungry bear in a forest are quite low, while meeting a curious animal is definitely possible. Remember that in the latter case, there is no threat to you if you behave carefully and don’t give the bear a reason to attack.
Encountering a wolf or a wolf pack
Running into a wolf is a very rare thing because these animals are naturally not aggressive toward people and they are afraid of humans. As a rule, it’s female wolves with cubs and wounded animals who represent a dangerous encounter. Also, there can be interactions between dogs and wolves, and a human can get injured while trying to prevent the fight. There are also cases where humans feed animals, while the animals get bold and attack people. Here is a list of things to do if you encounter a wolf: Step back immediately while looking into the animal’s eyes. Order it to leave with a loud and confident voice.
If you have a dog with you, keep it close to you. If your dog started a fight, don’t try to stop the battle manually because a human is simply not capable of doing this. Use a special repellent spray from a safe distance.
One surefire way to prevent a dog from meeting a wolf is to put a collar with bells on the dog. The sound will warn all local inhabitants of the forest about a possible meeting, and they will avoid encountering its source.
If the wolf is not going away, lift your hands up and spread your legs wide, then take a step toward the animal. Your task is to show the wolf that you are dangerous. Don’t feel shy about making loud noises.
When encountering a pack of wolves, try to outline the leader. The alpha wolf is the large individual that leads the attack. In order to scare off the whole pack, you need to disorient the alpha wolf. You can use stones and other heavy items to do this. Keep in mind that wolves are very careful animals and they go out of their way to avoid meeting humans. If you see a wolf running toward you and realize that the animal doesn’t see you, make a loud noise: yell, start breaking tree branches, sing. The wolf will stop in order to figure out where the sound is coming from, will see you, and will run away. If you keep quiet, there is a risk that the animal won’t notice you until it’s too late, decide that it is in danger, and will therefore try to attack you.
Encountering a wild boar
A boar is a very strong animal. It is easy to provoke it, especially if it’s a female boar with piglets. If you encounter a piglet, you should in no way approach it, but conversely, leave the place in the opposite direction. Moreover, boars are dangerous during their mating season, which takes place from November through January. Meeting an angry boar is one of the worst-case scenarios. If you encounter this animal, follow these simple rules: Slowly move back in the direction where you came from and don’t turn your back to the animal.
Try to gain higher ground: using a car, a boulder, or a tree.
If the boar has attacked you, try not to fall and avoid the animal’s fangs at all costs. If you fall down, the animal will harm you even more.
You can try to evade the attack. Boars can’t change their direction fast and attack in a straight line. A well-timed sidestep can help you avoid a collision.
Don’t try to run away: boars can run at the speed of 25-30 miles per hour. Boars have a slightly different reaction to humans than, for example, wolves. Don’t scare boars — it can turn on their territory protection mode. This means that any extra noise, like throwing stones and sticks can provoke the animal.

Do you drink milk before you go to bed ?

Does it help you fall asleep ?

Milk is a great source of nutrients, it’s healthy for your bones, and it has even more benefits if you drink it before you go to sleep. For example, it can help you fall asleep faster, sleep soundly without waking up in the middle of the night, and even boost weight loss!
We at Bright Side think that drinking a delicious glass of milk before bed is a really easy way to make our lives a bit healthier, so we’ll definitely try it out!
Milk has compounds that can improve your sleep quality.
Several studies on people and animals have shown that drinking milk can lead to better sleep. Milk contains tryptophan and melatonin, which may help you fall asleep easier and faster. Tryptophan plays an important role in producing serotonin, which in turn boosts your mood, can help you relax, and also acts as a precursor for melatonin. Melatonin helps regulate your circadian rhythm and prepares you for sleep. Research has shown that taking melatonin and tryptophan supplements can reduce anxiety and depression that might worsen around sleep time.
Milk is a great source of protein.
If you have dinner way too early before going to sleep, you might have problems sleeping all the way through the night. If you want to avoid waking up in the middle of the night because your stomach is growling with hunger, try drinking milk before bed.
There’s a psychological aspect to drinking milk before bed.
To a certain extent, drinking milk before bed can help you fall asleep because it becomes a nighttime ritual that helps you relax and prepare to go to bed. Another theory is that warm milk could remind you of drinking milk before bed as a child, which could bring back good memories and have a calming effect.
It can help you lose weight.
If you make drinking milk your ritual to help you fall asleep and it works, it can help you with weight loss. Poor sleep quality can cause you to put on extra pounds, so improving it could help you return to your normal weight. Because milk is also packed with nutritious protein, it’s a good substitute for late-night snacking, which could also cause you to gain weight.
It can increase lean muscle mass.
Milk contains proteins called casein and whey. Several studies have shown that consuming casein and whey protein in the evening can increase overnight muscle protein synthesis.
Disclaimer: Be aware, though, that you could be lactose-intolerant and not realize it. Some of the symptoms include bloating, gas, and cramps.
