10 TV Shows That Turned Out to Be More Staged Than Real Many of you might remember The Truman Show , the famous movie that revealed the life of a character trapped in a reality show .
Although he didn ’ t know it at first , he soon realized that his life was being broadcast 24/7 and the only person that wasn ’ t in on it was him .
His house , his neighborhood , his family and even his own wife were all fake !
Any person in his life was hired to read from a script @ @ @ @ @ @ @ show hooked .
This story may have been what inspired TV that came after it : a bunch of reality shows where participants seemed to live freely , regardless of the constant presence of a camera recording their every move , from surviving on a desert island to finding digital love .
Today , we all suspect that there ’ s more to it than what we see on these shows and yet , when some of those facts come to light , they still leave us astonished as to how naive we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pawn shop in Las Vegas where collectors sell or pawn valuable objects , rare pieces , and unique models .
That ’ s why the Harrisons often hire an expert to verify the authenticity of the object to be repaired or to be valued .
The show is aired on the History Channel and is very popular .
Viewers are especially drawn to scenes where Rick Harrison , his son Corey , or the family ’ s friend Chumlee discuss the right price and story behind an object brought in by a client @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the disappointed looks the clients have when they find out the objects they thought were unique and valuable weren ’ t worth anything .
Although the shop does exist , many deals are arranged off-camera beforehand .
Clients are not strangers popping by for the first time right when the camera is recording : they first sign an agreement , giving up their image and sound copyrights .
Otherwise , the show would violate Nevada ’ s legislation already in place .
Unfortunately , these exciting bargaining scenes aren ’ t real since @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it gets sold ) is fixed beforehand .
The protagonists don ’ t work every day at the store — they only pop up when recording episodes that showcase previously selected objects .
Despite the shop being very similar to the one that appears on TV , some parts like the big fan or the tourist souvenir section are left off-camera .
It looks like instead of coming up with actual pawned objects , it ’ s a lack of authenticity that audiences get from the show .
A group of participants tries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ days .
The lucky winner will earn $ 1 million .
This popular reality show broadcast by CBS allows viewers , from the comfort of their own home , to watch how a group of people will compete every day for simple rewards such as a toilet seat or dinner .
All of these tests require real sacrifices and major efforts from the competitors .
While compared to other reality shows , Survivor seems to be the most genuine , as the participants ’ weight loss is noticeable on-screen .
Testimonies from ex-cast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that not all of the sacrifices are true .
Despite the hunger and isolation being real , producers seem to influence participants ’ behavior and shape stories to make them more interesting by carefully selecting people and even suggesting options they hadn ’ t considered before voting depending on how “ profitable ” each character can be .
A couple of Californian auctioneers , Dan and Laura Doston , go through abandoned sheds and warehouses to sell off abandoned storage spaces to buyers .
Buyers have 5 minutes to bid once the auction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the highest bidder .
The show was very successful and a second season turned out to be A & E ’ s most-viewed show .
Later , ex-producer David Hester — who was coincidentally rehired immediately after being fired — blew the whistle on producers planting hidden treasures in the so-called “ modern Aladdin caves ” before they ’ d get auctioned off .
They also gave tips to participants to help them choose the best stores and even gave them money for more competitive bids .
Rapper Xzibit hosted Pimp My Ride @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , in part , launched him to fame .
Every week , the owner of a shabby car would receive an unexpected visit from West Coast Customs ’ team of mechanics to restore their car according to the owner ’ s personality .
The makeover would often include all kinds of excentric changes such as trunk subs , luxurious chairs , and even integrated cotton candy machines .
But that not all that glitters is gold .
It didn ’ t take long before 2 ex-participants who were interviewed by The Huffington Post @ @ @ @ @ @ @ renovated superficially .
Motors and technical failures ( which sometimes were a result of the makeover ) were left intact .
Rumor has it that spare parts were immediately removed after the episode aired and that a single-car repair took months instead of a couple of weeks like they claimed on the show .
Participant Seth Martino said the show went far from repairing his vehicle — he claims the makeover ruined his already damaged car !
The seats ’ LEDs would produce so much heat , the car became impossible to drive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pipe replaced was the outlet .
Apparently , instead of mechanics , West Coast Customs is a team of professional makeover artists who are unaware of the damage they cause to the basic car functions .
Lesson learned : digging deep is the way to go !
Hollywood celebrities would open the doors of their mansions to show their luxurious homes throughout 13 seasons on MTV Cribs .
An astonished audience would then gain access to the stars ’ excentric lifestyles .
But once again , it ’ s wiser not to judge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years passed , lawsuits and personal testimonies made public that the featured celebrities , who were on camera and sets , acted in mansions rented out by MTV specifically to trick the public into believing they were theirs .
Besides the lying , the main problem was that sometimes the real owners wouldn ’ t even know their properties were being used as stages for the show and didn ’ t find out until they saw it on TV .
Interviewed by The Huffington Post , pop-singer Jojo , who appeared on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ old , confessed that back then , she didn ’ t even own a house and that she had to borrow one from a rich uncle for the episode .
Rapper Ja Rule rented a mansion where he threw a party that left it half-destroyed by the last day .
Before MTV even made the real owner aware that a show had been recorded there , a lawsuit was already on producers ’ desks .
When singer Robbie Williams couldn ’ t afford to buy a house in Beverly Hills for the show @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and naturally pretended to have befriended the neighbors while butlers —who turned out to be hired actors— would go back and forth in the background .
Jane Seymour accidentally gave the secret away during an interview .
Created by Fox and hosted by Gordon Ramsey , Hell ’ s Kitchen made 12 to 20 participants compete against each other and in groups to prepare feasts and treats .
The winner would get $ 250,000 and a head chef position at a restaurant picked by Ramsey .
Despite being based on the British version @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drawn .
Instead of being recorded live , the show was staged at a studio without any audience during chef eliminations .
Gordon Ramsey ’ s reputation as a great chef precedes him just as his bad temper does .
Both of these are clearly seen on the show while he runs restaurants efficiently , growing angrier and angrier as participants make mistakes .
Several producers and cameramen have witnessed how , despite not being staged or scripted , stress levels are heightened .
This results in dramatic scenes that could potentially hook @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ phones to prevent them from contacting their families and friends during the 5 weeks that the show lasted .
They have no TV either , so they spend their whole time there isolated from the outside world .
Participants work long hours , anywhere from 7 in the morning to 2 at night .
And afterward , if they want to eat , they have to cook for themselves in a kitchen shared with 3 or 4 roommates .
Even if the most dramatic scenes are chosen during editing , cameras actually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stage , participants-to-be are chosen based on their passion for cooking , not on if they ’ re able to bear being on camera .
Production takes care of everything : from meeting the catfish victim to finding their digital partner by conducting an investigation and background check until they finally reveal the catfish ’ s actual identity .
The show digs deep into the psychology behind both the victim and the catfish to better understand the dynamic behind these relationships , whether it be fueled by low self-esteem , insecurities or whatever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ catfishers aren ’ t the only liars in the story .
A production oversight was made public revealing that most of the time , producers are first contacted by the catfish themselves , and then the victims are tracked , meaning that the whole thing is done backward .
Once the victim is found , the camera starts rolling .
House Hunters ’ production team joins couples and families who are moving and looking for a new place through a local real state agency .
In every episode , a new family has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perform a final interview once they do find something , and share any renovation plans and other insights with the audience .
But the selection process is not as real as it ’ s shown .
According to a statement given in 2012 by HGTV to Entertainment Weekly , a guest revealed that one of the houses they visited had already been acquired by participants and the other 2 had never been considered as an option but were only chosen to simulate some real estate competition .
Producers themselves confessed that to speed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already have had a house were contacted and their house hunt was recreated following similar plot twists .
But can these stories really be authentic ?
Besides the obvious edits and the fact that many of the couples break up even before the season is over , ex-participants ’ claims in archive footage are edited to tweak the narrative and are manipulated to give biased interviews that hardly go unnoticed .
Even if the audience already suspects it , an ex-participant confirmed on social media that the man ’ s selection is all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have conflicting or extravagant traits , they ’ re famous models , or they ’ re people having a difficult time drawing attention to themselves .
Most of the footage is left out of the final cut since it doesn ’ t comply with the main criteria of the show ’ s narrative aimed at increasing ratings .

Many of you might remember The Truman Show, the famous movie that revealed the life of a character trapped in a reality show. Although he didn’t know it at first, he soon realized that his life was being broadcast 24/7 and the only person that wasn’t in on it was him. His house, his neighborhood, his family and even his own wife were all fake! Any person in his life was hired to read from a script aiming at keeping the audience of the show hooked. This story may have been what inspired TV that came after it: a bunch of reality shows where participants seemed to live freely, regardless of the constant presence of a camera recording their every move, from surviving on a desert island to finding digital love. Today, we all suspect that there’s more to it than what we see on these shows and yet, when some of those facts come to light, they still leave us astonished as to how naive we can be.
Here at Bright Side, we attempted to debunk reality show myths and here’s what we found.
1. Pawn Stars
The Harrisons own a pawn shop in Las Vegas where collectors sell or pawn valuable objects, rare pieces, and unique models. That’s why the Harrisons often hire an expert to verify the authenticity of the object to be repaired or to be valued. The show is aired on the History Channel and is very popular. Viewers are especially drawn to scenes where Rick Harrison, his son Corey, or the family’s friend Chumlee discuss the right price and story behind an object brought in by a client. What sparks even more attention is the disappointed looks the clients have when they find out the objects they thought were unique and valuable weren’t worth anything.
Although the shop does exist, many deals are arranged off-camera beforehand. Clients are not strangers popping by for the first time right when the camera is recording: they first sign an agreement, giving up their image and sound copyrights. Otherwise, the show would violate Nevada’s legislation already in place. Unfortunately, these exciting bargaining scenes aren’t real since the price of every object (if it gets sold) is fixed beforehand. The protagonists don’t work every day at the store — they only pop up when recording episodes that showcase previously selected objects. Despite the shop being very similar to the one that appears on TV, some parts like the big fan or the tourist souvenir section are left off-camera. It looks like instead of coming up with actual pawned objects, it’s a lack of authenticity that audiences get from the show.
2. Survivor
A group of participants tries to survive on an island for 39 days. The lucky winner will earn $1 million. This popular reality show broadcast by CBS allows viewers, from the comfort of their own home, to watch how a group of people will compete every day for simple rewards such as a toilet seat or dinner. All of these tests require real sacrifices and major efforts from the competitors. While compared to other reality shows, Survivor seems to be the most genuine, as the participants’ weight loss is noticeable on-screen. Testimonies from ex-cast members have given away small details revealing that not all of the sacrifices are true. Despite the hunger and isolation being real, producers seem to influence participants’ behavior and shape stories to make them more interesting by carefully selecting people and even suggesting options they hadn’t considered before voting depending on how “profitable” each character can be.
Rumor has it that the show is staged with stunt actors and that participants actually sleep in a hotel. This has yet to be proven, but what is true is that they don’t always start campfires with rocks or magnifying glasses, but rather with lighters and matches provided by the staff. An indulgent cameraman even gave them candy once.
3. Storage Wars
A couple of Californian auctioneers, Dan and Laura Doston, go through abandoned sheds and warehouses to sell off abandoned storage spaces to buyers. Buyers have 5 minutes to bid once the auction starts and the lot is sold to the highest bidder. The show was very successful and a second season turned out to be A&E’s most-viewed show. Later, ex-producer David Hester — who was coincidentally rehired immediately after being fired — blew the whistle on producers planting hidden treasures in the so-called “modern Aladdin caves” before they’d get auctioned off. They also gave tips to participants to help them choose the best stores and even gave them money for more competitive bids.
4. Pimp My Ride
Rapper Xzibit hosted Pimp My Ride for MTV from 2004 to 2007 which, in part, launched him to fame. Every week, the owner of a shabby car would receive an unexpected visit from West Coast Customs’ team of mechanics to restore their car according to the owner’s personality. The makeover would often include all kinds of excentric changes such as trunk subs, luxurious chairs, and even integrated cotton candy machines. But that not all that glitters is gold. It didn’t take long before 2 ex-participants who were interviewed by The Huffington Post made public that the cars were only renovated superficially. Motors and technical failures (which sometimes were a result of the makeover) were left intact.
Rumor has it that spare parts were immediately removed after the episode aired and that a single-car repair took months instead of a couple of weeks like they claimed on the show. Participant Seth Martino said the show went far from repairing his vehicle — he claims the makeover ruined his already damaged car! The seats’ LEDs would produce so much heat, the car became impossible to drive and the only part of the exhaust pipe replaced was the outlet. Apparently, instead of mechanics, West Coast Customs is a team of professional makeover artists who are unaware of the damage they cause to the basic car functions. Lesson learned: digging deep is the way to go!
5. MTV Cribs
Hollywood celebrities would open the doors of their mansions to show their luxurious homes throughout 13 seasons on MTV Cribs. An astonished audience would then gain access to the stars’ excentric lifestyles. But once again, it’s wiser not to judge a book by its cover. As years passed, lawsuits and personal testimonies made public that the featured celebrities, who were on camera and sets, acted in mansions rented out by MTV specifically to trick the public into believing they were theirs. Besides the lying, the main problem was that sometimes the real owners wouldn’t even know their properties were being used as stages for the show and didn’t find out until they saw it on TV.
Interviewed by The Huffington Post, pop-singer Jojo, who appeared on the program when she was barely 13 years old, confessed that back then, she didn’t even own a house and that she had to borrow one from a rich uncle for the episode. Rapper Ja Rule rented a mansion where he threw a party that left it half-destroyed by the last day. Before MTV even made the real owner aware that a show had been recorded there, a lawsuit was already on producers’ desks. When singer Robbie Williams couldn’t afford to buy a house in Beverly Hills for the show, he borrowed Jane Seymour’s and naturally pretended to have befriended the neighbors while butlers —who turned out to be hired actors— would go back and forth in the background. Jane Seymour accidentally gave the secret away during an interview.
6. Hell’s Kitchen
Created by Fox and hosted by Gordon Ramsey, Hell’s Kitchen made 12 to 20 participants compete against each other and in groups to prepare feasts and treats. The winner would get $250,000 and a head chef position at a restaurant picked by Ramsey. Despite being based on the British version of the show, clear differences were drawn. Instead of being recorded live, the show was staged at a studio without any audience during chef eliminations. Gordon Ramsey’s reputation as a great chef precedes him just as his bad temper does. Both of these are clearly seen on the show while he runs restaurants efficiently, growing angrier and angrier as participants make mistakes.
Several producers and cameramen have witnessed how, despite not being staged or scripted, stress levels are heightened. This results in dramatic scenes that could potentially hook the audience. Producers would confiscate participants’ phones to prevent them from contacting their families and friends during the 5 weeks that the show lasted. They have no TV either, so they spend their whole time there isolated from the outside world. Participants work long hours, anywhere from 7 in the morning to 2 at night. And afterward, if they want to eat, they have to cook for themselves in a kitchen shared with 3 or 4 roommates. Even if the most dramatic scenes are chosen during editing, cameras actually record them 24/7. In the casting stage, participants-to-be are chosen based on their passion for cooking, not on if they’re able to bear being on camera.
7. Catfish: The TV Show
After creating the 2010 documentary, Catfish which explored digital long-distance relationships, Nev Shulman turned the idea into a series for MTV. “Catfish” is an online term for people who create a fake persona online to appear more attractive and find love. Nev and his partner Max Joseph look through requests sent by people who suspect they’re being catfished and hope to finally meet their digital significant other.
Production takes care of everything: from meeting the catfish victim to finding their digital partner by conducting an investigation and background check until they finally reveal the catfish’s actual identity. The show digs deep into the psychology behind both the victim and the catfish to better understand the dynamic behind these relationships, whether it be fueled by low self-esteem, insecurities or whatever else. But it turns out that catfishers aren’t the only liars in the story. A production oversight was made public revealing that most of the time, producers are first contacted by the catfish themselves, and then the victims are tracked, meaning that the whole thing is done backward. Once the victim is found, the camera starts rolling.
8. House Hunters
House Hunters’ production team joins couples and families who are moving and looking for a new place through a local real state agency. In every episode, a new family has to choose between 3 different properties and perform a final interview once they do find something, and share any renovation plans and other insights with the audience. But the selection process is not as real as it’s shown. According to a statement given in 2012 by HGTV to Entertainment Weekly, a guest revealed that one of the houses they visited had already been acquired by participants and the other 2 had never been considered as an option but were only chosen to simulate some real estate competition. Producers themselves confessed that to speed up the process, only families who already have had a house were contacted and their house hunt was recreated following similar plot twists. But can these stories really be authentic?
According to Mental Floss, about 100 to 200 people apply to appear on the show. After a fierce competition to try their chances at highly selective casting, the few participants who manage to get in make about $500 a week. On the other hand, some of the houses that participants pretend to buy are not even on sale. As revealed by Hooked On Houses, homes sometimes belong to friends or relatives. It seems like this reality show is more show than reality.
9. Man vs. Wild
Survival expert and British ex-marine, Bear Grylls, stars in Discovery Channel’s Man vs. Wild. Parachuted out of a helicopter and left at the mercy of the toughest wilderness settings, his goal is to show how to resourcefully manage to survive with only a knife and a canteen. Eating worms, live fish, raw meat, and even scorpions are just the tip of the iceberg. Despite his incredible survival skills (his expertise earned him the nickname “The Real MacGyver” among his marine peers), this British Special Forces veteran is hardly as isolated, hungry and abandoned as it may seem during the show. A whole team of producers joins him off-camera and as soon as lights are off they all move out of the wilderness to eat and sleep safely and soundly in local hotels. Apparently, even the wild horses that Bear Grylls rides on in one of the episodes belong to a trekking station.
After graciously answering every question asked by journalists from all over the world during an interview in London, when the rumor about the show being staged came up, he answered, “I’m doing a show that teaches basic survival techniques to the public. Of course, it’s edited. It’s TV, right?”
10. The Bachelor
The season’s chosen bachelor joins a group of single women who, as modern Cinderellas, patiently wait for their Prince Charming to fall in love with them. The man is then invited to have group dates with the ladies who will later be ruled out until he finds the right match. In the meantime, the bachelor’s family will also meet his top candidates’ families and provide feedback. Although a few people are still reluctant to admit that the show is staged, many facts give away the show’s charm.
Besides the obvious edits and the fact that many of the couples break up even before the season is over, ex-participants’ claims in archive footage are edited to tweak the narrative and are manipulated to give biased interviews that hardly go unnoticed. Even if the audience already suspects it, an ex-participant confirmed on social media that the man’s selection is all about the ratings, like if they have conflicting or extravagant traits, they’re famous models, or they’re people having a difficult time drawing attention to themselves. Most of the footage is left out of the final cut since it doesn’t comply with the main criteria of the show’s narrative aimed at increasing ratings.

Bright Side wants to share with you 5 simple recipes that have coffee with you, that will awaken your natural beauty to the fullest.
Benefits of coffee for skin and hair
Coffee has the main alkaloid compound, caffeine. In cosmetics, this element is appreciated for the benefits it provides to the health of the skin. If you look at the labels of the cosmetic products you use, you will notice that caffeine is present in many formulas. Of course, depending on the type of skin and the area to be treated, caffeine works in different ways. The good thing is that this substance can be used in its most natural state, to prepare creams, shampoos, and homemade scrubs, free of artificial compounds, which help to make your skin and hair healthy and shiny. How? Here are 5 very easy recipes:
1. Exfoliating mask
Coffee is a natural exfoliant, excellent for removing dead skin cells. It stimulates the production of collagen and acts as an anti-inflammatory. After a relaxing coffee mask, the skin on the neck and face will be soft, clean, and smooth. You will need: 1 cup of ground coffee (150 g)
1 cup of brown sugar (200 g)
3 tbsp of olive oil (48 g)
2 tbsp of honey (50 g) How to prepare: Mix all the elements in a container and make sure that the mask is not too thick. The texture should be rather light and easy to spread on the face. How to use: Apply a layer of the mask all over your face and neck. While doing so, take the opportunity to massage the skin. Let it sit until it dries and rinse with warm water. Keep the container tightly closed in the fridge so you can apply the mask once a week.
2. Lip scrub
Lips are the biggest contributor to a beautiful smile, that’s why it’s necessary to keep your lips hydrated and healthy. This can be accomplished by drinking enough water, using a lip balm daily, and removing dry skin. The good thing is that you can make a simple and cheap scrub at home. You will need: 1 tsp of ground coffee
2 tsp of olive oil (or any other oil you prefer) How to prepare: Mix both ingredients in a cup or bowl until combined. You should get a firm paste. How to use: Apply the scrub to your lips and use your finger to gently massage the scrub in circular motions. Use at least 3 times a week. Rinse with water and then apply your favorite moisturizing balm.
3. Shampoo
Coffee contains properties that make it excellent for hair and scalp care. It stimulates blood circulation and removes dead skin cells, preventing hair loss. It also strengthens the hair, darkens the natural color a little, and provides a pleasant aroma. If you dream of long and healthy hair, this homemade shampoo is exactly what you need. You will need: Neutral shampoo
5 tablespoons of ground coffee
1 cup of water How to prepare: Use a shampoo that doesn’t contain many components, the most neutral one that you have in the bathroom. Heat the water a little, without boiling it. Let it cool a little and mix the water with the coffee in the same cup. Stir to integrate. With the help of a funnel, pour the mixture into the shampoo bottle. Cover and shake well. Let the shampoo sit for 2 hours before using it. How to use: Apply the shampoo as you normally would, massaging the scalp in a circular motion. Leave the product on for 5 minutes and rinse well. You can use it 2 or 3 times a week.
4. Dark circle patches
Poor sleep, stress, or illness are the frequent causes of the appearance of bags and dark circles under the eyes, which make you look tired and older. Fighting them is very simple, and you can do it using just 2 ingredients: coffee and a potato! Black coffee generates an increase in the production of collagen. On top of that, potatoes contain vitamin B6 and vitamin D, that are good for the skin. In addition, it refreshes the look. You will need: 1/4 cup concentrated black coffee without sugar
2 potato slices How to prepare: Soak the 2 potato slices in a cup of very cold black coffee. Leave the slices in the coffee for 2 minutes and drain. How to use: Place the slices over your eyes and let them sit for 20 minutes. Use these patches as many times as you need to.
5. Body scrub
Coffee is very good for fighting cellulite because, as we mentioned before, it stimulates blood circulation. This helps remove excess fluid that accumulates in the connective tissue. It takes a few extra minutes to include coffee in your beauty routine, but it’s definitely worth the time. You will need: 5 tsp of ground coffee
3 tsp of wheat germ oil
Plastic wrap
How to prepare: Mix both ingredients in a bowl until they form a thick paste. How to use: Apply the mixture to the areas of your body that you consider problematic (thighs, arms, buttocks, and belly). Cover with plastic wrap for 30 minutes. Remove the plastic, massage the area in a circular motion for 5 minutes, and rinse with warm water. Use it twice a week.

We at Bright Side have proof that things aren’t always as obvious and straightforward as they seem at first glance.
You never know where the danger may come from.

Many women said that it was a pretty controversial situation and that they’d be very stressed if someone acted this way toward them. They thanked the author for his bravery but suggested some alternative scenarios.

Despite all the rumors about things not going smoothly in their relationship, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick have been together for more than 22 years, not counting 5 years of dating, and they don’t plan to quit any time soon. They’re heading into the 3 decades of “love, commitment, and respect,” while raising 3 children together, and they’ve proven that a long-lasting relationship isn’t a problem when it comes to true feelings.
We at Bright Side always get inspired by the stories of happy couples, and we’d like to share the romantic fairy tale of Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick with you, who will be celebrating their 23rd wedding anniversary next month.
Sarah and Matthew met on Broadway, shortly after her breakup with Robert Downey Jr.
Although Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are both well-known to a wide audience because of their roles in movies and TV series, they actually started their path to fame on Broadway. Parker’s older brother was running the Naked Angels Theater Company, and Broderick was a director in one of their plays. In 1991, Sarah Jessica Parker broke up with Robert Downey Jr. after 7 years of being together, and shortly after that, her brothers introduced her to Matthew.
Parker shared that, during that time, they were both young actors who just wanted to do their job well and who weren’t thinking about fame or money. In one of his interviews, Broderick revealed that he still remembers the first time he saw Sarah, when she was walking into a movie theater. For him, it was a very unique experience because, as he said, he rarely remembered people he saw walking down the street for the very first time.
Matthew didn’t ask his future wife on a date for months.
It took Broderick a pretty long time to finally ask Parker out. Matthew remembered that months had literally passed before he made his first move. But on February 1, he left a charming voice message and the couple started officially dating pretty soon after that.
Their wedding was a surprise for their family and friends.
On May 19, after 5 years of being together, the couple decided to tie the knot and threw a surprise wedding party. All 100 guests were sure that they were showing up to attend an ordinary party, but it turned out to be a wedding. And that wasn’t the only surprise that day. Parker opted out of the traditional wedding dress and chose a black one instead. She shared that she had never really thought about her wedding dress. She said that she chose it because she was a bold girl back then and was “too embarrassed” to spend time trying to find a wedding dress. So she just went to a store she liked and just took “whatever they had hanging.”
Now they’re the proud parents of 3 children.
Parker and Broderick have 3 children: their son James (2002) and twin daughters, Marion and Tabitha (2009). Parker shared that the birth of their children was one of the most amazing moments in her life and that if she could revisit one moment from the past, that’d be the moment she’d like to go back to.
Sarah and Matthew have been together for 22 years, but they still know how to keep the spark alive.
After 22 years of marriage, the couple is still going strong. When journalists asked Parker about the secret to their happy relationship, she revealed that they believe that time apart is just as important as time together. Because of their jobs, Sarah and Matthew have had to spend a lot of time away from each other, but they always manage to reunite and come back together. Parker shares that people and their needs are going to change and that both partners should be able to accept these changes that will inevitably happen through the years. Broderick shared that the key to their happiness is that they’re friends beyond anything else. And his advice to all couples is to keep talking, because too much silence is definitely not a good idea.

Perhaps the name “Chris Gardner” doesn’t sound very familiar to you, but you’ve surely seen or heard about the movie The Pursuit of Happyness, starring Will Smith. The film is inspired by the true story of Christopher Gardner, a man who has faced many obstacles in life to achieve happiness, even being forced to sleep on the streets with his son.
Bright Side wants to share with you the story of Chris, going beyond the events narrated in the film. Let’s have a look at his childhood, his path to success, and what his life looks like today.
A tough childhood
Christopher Paul Gardner was born on February 9, 1954, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His childhood was far from being a fairy tale; he had an absent father, and his mother, Bettye Jean, married a man named Freddie Triplett, someone who would deeply mark Chris’s life. Triplett was abusive to his wife and children. He even reported Chris’s mother to the authorities and had her sent to prison for working while receiving help from Social Services. During that time, Chris and his 3 sisters had to temporarily live in foster homes. Months later, Bettye was released, but she would go back to jail again. Drowned in despair, she even tried to set Triplett’s house on fire with him inside.
But out of all that suffering, one day would remain in Chris’s memory forever. It was Christmas and he was 16 years old. He was taking a bath when his stepfather suddenly broke into the bathroom with a shotgun and kicked him out of the house, leaving him on the street, wet and naked on a cold night. After having lived through these sad experiences, Chris was clear about something: he would not become his stepfather. He chose to take his mother as an example of strength instead. “I chose to embrace the spirit of my mom—who despite the fact that she had too many of her own dreams denied, deferred, and destroyed—still instilled in me that I could have dreams,” he confessed.
Marriage and fatherhood
Chris left Wisconsin when he entered the US Navy and joined the Medical Corps. There he met Dr. Robert Ellis, who offered him a job as a research assistant at the University of California Medical Center. It was 1974 when he moved to San Francisco. Chris’ future seemed to brighten. In 1977, he married Sherry Dyson and was planning on going to Medical School, but then realized the time and money he would have to invest were beyond him, so he changed his mind. This damaged his already fractured relationship with his then-wife. Sometime later, Chris met a woman named Jackie Medina, who got pregnant. This was when Chris separated from his wife to care of Jackie and their son. At the time his son was born, he was working as a research lab assistant, but as his salary wasn’t enough, he became a sales representative for a medical equipment company, but without luxury.
Signs in life travel in Ferraris.
Once he saw a well-dressed man get out of a red Ferrari on the street. That day, his life changed. Impressed, Chris asked, “What do you do, and how do you do it?” The man was Bob Bridges, a stockbroker who made about $80,000 a month. Driven by the possibility of achieving his long-awaited success, Chris canceled his sales meetings and postponed paying his parking tickets until he was accepted into the training program at another company. Then he quit his old job. But as bad luck would have it, when he showed up at the office on his first day of work, he found out that the person who had hired him had been fired. With a young son and a deteriorating relationship, Chris was forced to look elsewhere for a new chance and got an interview at Dean Witter Reynolds to train as a stockbroker.
But, once again, luck was not on his side, and, a little over a week before his job interview, he was arrested for $1,200 he had accumulated in fines. He spent 10 days in prison, and when he got out of jail, he realized Jackie had left, taking their son and all of his belongings. A day after his release, Chris had to attend his interview in the same clothes he had used during his time in prison: casual pants, sneakers, and a jacket. Despite that, he was accepted into the internship program. He would receive a salary of $1,000 a month.
4 months later, Jackie returned with little Christopher, and both parents decided that it would be better if he stayed with his father. There was only one small problem, the boarding house where Chris lived didn’t accept children, and he didn’t have enough money to pay rent. It was then that a pilgrimage began for father and son. Chris’s salary was barely enough for diapers, food, and childcare, so when it came to choose whether the money was spent on food or shelter, the decision was always food. Chris and his little boy spent the night wherever they could; Cheap motels, hostels, parks, under a desk at Chris’ office, and even in a public bathroom at a subway station in Oakland.
Chris and his son went from one “home” to another for about a year. In the meantime, he continued his internship in finance and never told his colleagues that he had no place to live. Instead, he received help from people he didn’t expect, like Rev. Cecil Williams from Glide Memorial Church. He gave Chris a room despite the fact that it was in a program that was only for single mothers. In fact, even some “ladies of the evening” (as Chris himself calls them) started giving him $5 bills regularly, when they saw him with his baby in a rickety stroller. To earn a few extra bucks, Chris took some random jobs. He mowed lawns, tidied gardens, built roofs, cleaned basements, and even sold his blood, although he was never very proud of the latter.
I call this moment in my life “happiness.”
After going through considerably tough times and standing out as a dedicated and persevering intern, Chris took the exam to obtain his license as a stockbroker in 1982. He passed and managed to get a stable job with a much better salary. Now he was able to pay rent. Chris had gone from being an apprentice with nowhere to sleep to being a respected stockbroker. He was even offered a chance to work on Wall Street in New York and lived in that city for 2 years before moving to Chicago and starting Gardner Rich & Co., his own company with an initial investment of $10,000 in 1987. A year later, he managed to earn over a million dollars. Lack of money was no longer a problem for him. Excited about his achievements, he bought his own Ferrari, but not just anyone, he bought one that had formerly belonged to basketball player Michael Jordan.
By 2006, Chris had managed to grow his company immensely and sold it in a multi-million dollar deal. He later became the founder of Christopher Gardner International Holdings and placed offices in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. Through it, he contributes to various philanthropic organizations related to education, access to housing, and job creation projects. Chris is currently a successful lecturer who travels the world motivating people to pursue their dreams and explaining topics related to business success. This is very fulfilling for him.
Chris’s life in a movie
If you’ve already watched the movie The Pursuit of Happyness, you may have noticed some differences from the story you just read. This is because the production team made some creative decisions to better narrate the story on film. Here we share some curious facts related to the movie: The film is inspired by the book The Pursuit of Happyness, written by Gardner himself. In the original title, the word “happyness” is intentionally misspelled with a “y” instead of an “i” in order to represent “you.”
In real life, during the events of the film, Chris’s son was only 2 years old, but in the film adaptation, Christopher (played by Jaden Smith) was 7 years old. The writers did this so that father and son could have more meaningful interactions in the film.
To interpret his role in the best way possible, Will Smith and Chris Gardner visited the Oakland bathroom where he once slept with his son. “We left him in there for a good 5 minutes, and when he came out he was not Will Smith, he was Chris Gardner,” said Gardner himself.
In a cameo near the end of the film, we see the real Chris appear onscreen when he meets the characters on the street.
The movie doesn’t show it, but while Chris was working on the stock market, he got back together with Jackie and they had a second child, a girl named Jacintha.
