brightside--2020-10-29--15 Seemingly Harmless Phrases From Parents That Can Echo Into Their Kids’ Future

“ There is nothing that is yours in this house !
” Some parents are convinced that a child doesn ’ t have their own personality until they are able to financially provide for themselves .
This means that , before this moment , they might ignore the kid ’ s opinion , feelings , and special needs .
The toxic idea that a person is nobody until they start to earn money themselves , raises a generation of notorious workaholics .
Kids who , from their childhood , have absorbed the thought that nothing in their parents ’ home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feel secure .
Lost childhood , depression , anxiety , an exhausting feeling of guilt and shame , as well as low self-esteem — these are just some of the frequent consequences of this kind of upbringing .
A parental attitude like this will motivate a teenager to want to quickly move away from mom and dad in order to finally have their own little world , with at least some kind of stability , even if it ’ s a room in a dorm that is the illusion of their “ own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these people work a lot because that ’ s the only way for them to feel significant .
• Me : “ Mom , can you please knock before entering my room ?
The absence of my own personal space is one of the reasons for my constant anxiety.
” Mom : “ What do you mean ?
It ’ s my apartment !
Should I move out in order to not disturb your personal space at all !
?
” © sviatayalojka / Twitter • “ You don ’ t have anything @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are made out of me .
You haven ’ t earned a penny , but pretend to be a person with a personality.
” This phrase followed me from age 5 to 18 .
I can ’ t rest , I am dreadfully afraid to lose or change jobs because it might require a small break in earnings .
I also have difficulties with expressing my emotions aloud .

It seems to them that their child is not able to have serious conversations with adults and that it is too early for them to have their own point of view on anything .
These parents don ’ t consider their children to be individuals , and their children feel it fully .
After many years it can echo in the fact that the grown-up kid will feel shy about expressing their opinion in the presence of adults ( teachers , bosses ) and will think that their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deserve any attention .
It will prevent the kid from unfolding their talents in their studies , as well as building a successful career .
• My mother adored this phrase .
For example , when a friend of hers was visiting us and they started to reminisce about an interesting movie that I had also watched and was willing to discuss , she would say , “ Don ’ t get into the conversation of adults !
” Once one of her friends said , “ Why are you shutting her out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reply was the following , “ She shouldn ’ t interfere when adults are speaking.
” At that point , I was a teenager and in this phrase , I heard , “ Don ’ t even try , you ’ re silly and don ’ t understand anything.
” © Kaoma777 / AdMe “ If I don ’ t remember it , it means it didn ’ t happen.
” Today many of us know about gaslighting and understand that the denial of real events is a form of psychological violence .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ heard the phrase , “ It ’ s all in your imagination !
It never happened !
” from our parents , who didn ’ t want to admit their mistakes .
As a result , children start to doubt the adequacy of their perception of reality and the usefulness of their own memory .
It negatively affects their ability to trust themselves and the world because even their parents keep showing them that something is wrong with them because they remember things that in fact “ never happened.
” • I was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her out onto the staircase in her underwear at the age of 13 , saying , “ Get out of here , you own nothing in this house !
” Why ?
Because the girl dared to say to her , “ This is my home too !
” The neighbors let the girl wait in their home until her mom ’ s tantrum was over .
When the daughter tried to remind her mother about this , she said , “ It couldn ’ t have happened .
I wouldn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ eyes .
You are making it all up !
” © lfeey / Pikabu This might seem to be a correct piece of advice — a real man should protect the representatives of the weaker half of the planet , help them , and concede to them .
Everything goes well until the moment girls start to use their privileges to take advantage of boys or misbehave .
While a well-brought-up boy has to just stand there and take the teasing from his female peers .
Eventually , they grow into men @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they can ’ t give a verbal rebuff even in cases where the women are crossing all the lines .
That ’ s when a guideline that was supposed to prevent violence relating to one type of people , leads to the appearance of socially-approved violence over others .
Men , in this case , feel shy to even make a claim or confront it .
• “ You shouldn ’ t offend girls !
” Is the freakiest and silliest phrase that has become very popular among the parents of boys .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a boy in the head , tear his book , troll him in social media , and she won ’ t get in trouble for it !
Because she is a gi-i-i-i-i-rl !

We require experience , skills , and habits .
Making mistakes is totally normal , especially in childhood .
It ’ s not normal to transfer all the responsibility to a kid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if parents haven ’ t taught their offspring something , that ’ s not the kid ’ s fault .
Over time , a small child who regularly hears these words directed at them will stop trying to do anything in order to not be guilty .
Moreover , a child may start to consider themselves the source of all the problems of their parents , and they might believe they are not good enough and don ’ t deserve love or the right to live .
• There is a vending machine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a toy with the help of a joystick .
Yesterday a mother and her approximately 4-year-old son went up to it , she was moving the joystick , he was getting ready to push the button to get a toy with the help of a special catcher .

© kaddyd / Pikabu This phrase has many versions : from “ You ’ ll manage somehow ” to “ You want too much.
” Their meaning boils down to the fact that the child should forget about their dreams and desires — not because they are unrealizable , but rather because the parents don ’ t consider it necessary to fulfill them .
Over time , kids simply stop dreaming because they understand that it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that instead of a long-cherished doll under the Christmas tree , they will get a sweater ( usually in a bigger size , so that it lasts longer ) and instead of having a snack outside , the mother will say , “ Is there nothing to eat at home ?

Why ?
“ Because I decided so — that ’ s why !

And it doesn ’ t matter that the kids might only be 2-3 years old at that moment .
Early and forced growing up is not good for anyone .

” No one is born with cooking skills , or knowing how to wash and iron a shirt : everything comes with experience that shapes up from trial and error .
Oftentimes , it ’ s easier for parents to do something by themselves , rather than teach their kid to do it .
A parent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to teach , it will take more time , the child will make mistakes , or they might even have to do everything all over again by themselves anyway .
While trying to protect their child from unnecessary worry , many parents forget that household chores are an important part of their child ’ s upbringing .

It was all finished off by her saying something like , it ’ s better to not do anything at all , than to do it poorly .

” Raising a kid using the method , “ Trust no one , fear no one , ask for nothing ” has its advantages and disadvantages .

If a parent doesn ’ t give the child the proper support that they feel they can rely on in difficult times , the kid has every chance of getting into trouble .

“ Mom , I told you it hurt .

You can ’ t expect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doesn ’ t mean that you should lie to your kid about their unearthly beauty , but highlighting good things and outlining the advantages of their appearance could be useful for many parents .
Knowing their strengths will help your child feel more confident , while persistent information about their imperfections will fill them with complexes and make them more reserved .

The road to our beloved psychotherapists is paved with the good intentions of our parents. In most cases, our mothers and fathers really only wanted the best for us but still, many years later, their adult kids struggle to overcome the consequences of their upbringing. Moreover, a part of them repeats the mistakes of their parents who said the same phrases to their kids that a while back had also been hurt by the same rhetoric.
We at Bright Side collected the phrases and statements that hurt today’s adults most of all, in order to figure out how much these seemingly harmless words affected their lives.

This means that, before this moment, they might ignore the kid’s opinion, feelings, and special needs. The toxic idea that a person is nobody until they start to earn money themselves, raises a generation of notorious workaholics. Kids who, from their childhood, have absorbed the thought that nothing in their parents’ home belongs to them, and who never feel secure. Lost childhood, depression, anxiety, an exhausting feeling of guilt and shame, as well as low self-esteem — these are just some of the frequent consequences of this kind of upbringing. A parental attitude like this will motivate a teenager to want to quickly move away from mom and dad in order to finally have their own little world, with at least some kind of stability, even if it’s a room in a dorm that is the illusion of their “own” place. As a rule, these people work a lot because that’s the only way for them to feel significant. Me: “Mom, can you please knock before entering my room? The absence of my own personal space is one of the reasons for my constant anxiety.” Mom: “What do you mean? It’s my apartment! Should I move out in order to not disturb your personal space at all!?” © sviatayalojka / Twitter
“You don’t have anything that is yours. Even you yourself are made out of me. You haven’t earned a penny, but pretend to be a person with a personality.” This phrase followed me from age 5 to 18. I can’t rest, I am dreadfully afraid to lose or change jobs because it might require a small break in earnings. I also have difficulties with expressing my emotions aloud. © Kseniya Gerasimyak / Yandex Zen
“Stay out of adult conversations.”
For many parents, their child will always be a foolish kid and it doesn’t matter how old their offspring is (5,15, or 50). It seems to them that their child is not able to have serious conversations with adults and that it is too early for them to have their own point of view on anything. These parents don’t consider their children to be individuals, and their children feel it fully. After many years it can echo in the fact that the grown-up kid will feel shy about expressing their opinion in the presence of adults (teachers, bosses) and will think that their thoughts are insignificant and don’t deserve any attention. It will prevent the kid from unfolding their talents in their studies, as well as building a successful career. My mother adored this phrase. For example, when a friend of hers was visiting us and they started to reminisce about an interesting movie that I had also watched and was willing to discuss, she would say, “Don’t get into the conversation of adults!” Once one of her friends said, “Why are you shutting her out? Let her speak” and the reply was the following, “She shouldn’t interfere when adults are speaking.” At that point, I was a teenager and in this phrase, I heard, “Don’t even try, you’re silly and don’t understand anything.” © Kaoma777 / AdMe
“If I don’t remember it, it means it didn’t happen.”
Today many of us know about gaslighting and understand that the denial of real events is a form of psychological violence. But in childhood, many of us heard the phrase, “It’s all in your imagination! It never happened!” from our parents, who didn’t want to admit their mistakes. As a result, children start to doubt the adequacy of their perception of reality and the usefulness of their own memory. It negatively affects their ability to trust themselves and the world because even their parents keep showing them that something is wrong with them because they remember things that in fact “never happened.” I was working with a client whose mother kicked her out onto the staircase in her underwear at the age of 13, saying, “Get out of here, you own nothing in this house!” Why? Because the girl dared to say to her, “This is my home too!” The neighbors let the girl wait in their home until her mom’s tantrum was over. When the daughter tried to remind her mother about this, she said, “It couldn’t have happened. I wouldn’t be able to look into our neighbors’ eyes. You are making it all up!” © lfeey / Pikabu
“You shouldn’t offend girls.”
This might seem to be a correct piece of advice — a real man should protect the representatives of the weaker half of the planet, help them, and concede to them. Everything goes well until the moment girls start to use their privileges to take advantage of boys or misbehave. While a well-brought-up boy has to just stand there and take the teasing from his female peers. Eventually, they grow into men who are simply afraid of women and they can’t give a verbal rebuff even in cases where the women are crossing all the lines. That’s when a guideline that was supposed to prevent violence relating to one type of people, leads to the appearance of socially-approved violence over others. Men, in this case, feel shy to even make a claim or confront it. “You shouldn’t offend girls!” Is the freakiest and silliest phrase that has become very popular among the parents of boys. It means some bold girl can hit a boy in the head, tear his book, troll him in social media, and she won’t get in trouble for it! Because she is a gi-i-i-i-i-rl! © Evgeniya Yavuz-Ponomareva / Facebook
“You ruin everything.”
Few people can do something well, that is completely new to them, from the first or even the second try. We require experience, skills, and habits. Making mistakes is totally normal, especially in childhood. It’s not normal to transfer all the responsibility to a kid for their mistakes. After all, if parents haven’t taught their offspring something, that’s not the kid’s fault. Over time, a small child who regularly hears these words directed at them will stop trying to do anything in order to not be guilty. Moreover, a child may start to consider themselves the source of all the problems of their parents, and they might believe they are not good enough and don’t deserve love or the right to live. There is a vending machine in our mall where people can grab a toy with the help of a joystick. Yesterday a mother and her approximately 4-year-old son went up to it, she was moving the joystick, he was getting ready to push the button to get a toy with the help of a special catcher. When he pressed it, he failed to catch the toy and the mother started to scream, “You always spoil everything!” Poor child! © RukaLizo / Pikabu
“You can do better.”
There is always room for improvement but many parents think differently. From their very first steps, they give unreachable tasks to their offspring and kids have to jump through a bunch of hoops to complete them. At the same time, adults often forget to reward their kids for their achievements because it’s not a reason to feel proud but just a signal that it’s time to up the goals. A kid who lives in the eternal race for the parental ideal doesn’t know how to value themselves and enjoy the process of their work. And, of course, it will be difficult for them to avoid neurosis and stresses because there is always something ahead they have to strive for. These kids are often sick and they often procrastinate and go off track, having gotten tired of whirling in the wheel of someone else’s ambitions. My friend’s mother would always say to her, “You could’ve done better.” She never praised her for the results. My friend could never feel happy about her achievements or even small victories. Because “she could do it better.” Later, she somehow managed to overcome it and started to understand that if she did something well, it was true and she should feel happy about it. Whether she could do it better and whether she should do it are 2 totally different questions. © Irmali / AdMe
All my life I would try to do anything to deserve praise. I hardly ever heard a simple, “Good job.” I always saw the usual indifferent reactions or fault-findings. Eventually, I grew up into a reserved lazy bones, who hardly ever communicates with anyone because what’s the point of doing something or speaking about it if no one will appreciate it? © kaddyd / Pikabu
“You’ll manage somehow.”
This phrase has many versions: from “You’ll manage somehow” to “You want too much.” Their meaning boils down to the fact that the child should forget about their dreams and desires — not because they are unrealizable, but rather because the parents don’t consider it necessary to fulfill them. Over time, kids simply stop dreaming because they understand that it will never come true. They know that instead of a long-cherished doll under the Christmas tree, they will get a sweater (usually in a bigger size, so that it lasts longer) and instead of having a snack outside, the mother will say, “Is there nothing to eat at home?” (even if there are no financial issues in the family). Why? “Because I decided so — that’s why!” I was always told “keep dreaming” in response to any request (not necessarily about a purchase) and “it doesn’t matter much, put up with it” in response to my claims about some kind of discomfort. Now I am putting up with a lot of things and I have problems with personal borders. © saasshhha / Twitter
“You are older!”
When smaller kids appear in the family, older kids often have to grow up faster. In parents’ eyes, they lose the right to be little kids, even if the difference in age is not that big. A certain responsibility is assigned to them: to become wiser and more independent. And it doesn’t matter that the kids might only be 2-3 years old at that moment. Early and forced growing up is not good for anyone. Yes, this kid might be more adjusted to life and they might achieve a lot, but the price for this success will be a lost childhood and subconscious anger at parents and younger siblings. It doesn’t contribute to warm family relationships in any way and is often a psychological obstacle to creating their own family. All my childhood I kept hearing the phrase “You are older!” Afterward, I was supposed to give away my favorite book, toys, or candy, and forget about my interests to watch my younger twin sisters. The older I was becoming, the more my list grew of things I had to do. Clean the entire apartment, cook, help my siblings with their homework. At the age of 19, I moved out. Today I only keep in touch with my parents and I don’t talk to them very often. The age difference between me and my younger sisters is 1 year and 10 months. © Overheard / Vk
“You’re doing it all wrong. I’d better do it myself.”
No one is born with cooking skills, or knowing how to wash and iron a shirt: everything comes with experience that shapes up from trial and error. Oftentimes, it’s easier for parents to do something by themselves, rather than teach their kid to do it. A parent might think that, if they stop to teach, it will take more time, the child will make mistakes, or they might even have to do everything all over again by themselves anyway. While trying to protect their child from unnecessary worry, many parents forget that household chores are an important part of their child’s upbringing. This work helps with the development of self-control and self-discipline (after all, it is silly to litter where you yourself will then have to clean up the floor), and both of these qualities will definitely be useful for children over the course of their lives. Kids whose parents don’t give them a chance to learn together from their mistakes feel household disabled later in adulthood: they feel scared to do something new and don’t believe in themselves. In childhood, my mom scolded me for peeling off too much skin from the potatoes and said I’d better not do it at all. Or after vacuum cleaning the house, I was waiting for praise, but instead, I heard that I had missed something or that there was some dirt left in the corner. It was all finished off by her saying something like, it’s better to not do anything at all, than to do it poorly. Needless to say that at the age of 17, when I started to live in a dorm, I couldn’t even fry pre-cooked cutlets. The good thing is that life eventually taught me how to do these things. © ankaka / Pikabu
“You won’t achieve anything in life.”
Parents who don’t believe in their kids affect their kids’ self-esteem greatly, “Who will believe in me if my parents think I am not capable of anything?” If you keep imposing these thoughts on kids on a regular basis, they will learn the main point, “Something is wrong with me.” In order to overcome this feeling, many people require years of serious therapy. In adulthood, kids whose parents didn’t believe in them oftentimes behave in the opposite way: they either give up in advance without trying to achieve anything (because they are programmed for failure) or they dedicate their whole life to proving to their parents that they were wrong. “You’ll achieve nothing, you have no talent at all, while Jane from the neighboring house is such a smart girl...” As a result, I had a big bunch of complexes by the time I was 22 years old. I graduated from college with honors, but before that, I kept hearing, “You won’t be able to even get enrolled in that college.” I got enrolled in all specializations I submitted my documents to, but chose the most difficult one despite everyone’s saying, “You won’t be able to last there for even one year.” The list goes on... © alicep / Pikabu
Most of all, I remember my mom saying, “Come on, don’t even dream about that! You’ll marry some locksmith and that’ll do.” Maybe that’s the reason why I did my best, kept studying, and found the partner of my dreams. I am happy! © Natalia Galkina (Holkina) / Yandex Zen
“These are your own problems and it’s you who has to solve them.”
Raising a kid using the method, “Trust no one, fear no one, ask for nothing” has its advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, a kid should be taught to cope with difficulties by themselves — it’s an important skill that will be helpful in life. But parents should also understand that due to a lack of life experience, kids simply can’t (and shouldn’t) have to deal with some issues by themselves. If a parent doesn’t give the child the proper support that they feel they can rely on in difficult times, the kid has every chance of getting into trouble. The feeling of security and trust is as necessary for children as independence is, so the main thing for adults to remember is to not go too far into this matter. I was always taught to not complain and to rely only on myself. I remember saying to my mom that my arm hurt a lot. I had to go to the hospital by myself to get an exam. When my mom came home from work, she found me with a cast on my arm. “Mom, I told you it hurt. I have a crack in the bone of my arm.” My husband has worked really hard to make me start telling him what exactly in my body hurts and how my treatment is going. That’s why now that we have 3 kids, I examine them, treat them, and pay attention to any complaints. © Guzik Lena / Facebook
“Are you reading books? Do something useful.”
Many parents sincerely believe that a kid should always be doing something useful, like doing homework, doing extra-curricular activities, or cleaning their room. Daydreaming or reading a book seems to be something to be ashamed of. As a result, we have a whole bunch of adults who simply can’t relax at all.
“Well, you’re not that pretty...”
Parents are the first mirror a child looks into in order to understand what they are like. And if their parents keep saying to them that their hair is too thin, that their nails are not straight, or that their nose looks like a potato, that’s what the kid will feel in real life. You can’t expect adequate self-esteem with these statements. This doesn’t mean that you should lie to your kid about their unearthly beauty, but highlighting good things and outlining the advantages of their appearance could be useful for many parents. Knowing their strengths will help your child feel more confident, while persistent information about their imperfections will fill them with complexes and make them more reserved. My mother would always say to me that I had terrible legs — thin, ugly, and crooked. As it turned out later, she was doing it to prevent me from wearing short skirts “so as to not draw extra attention to myself.” At the age of 18, I dressed like an old lady — floor-length dresses and baggy sweaters. Luckily, even this look didn’t frighten off young guys, and later I was told that I am actually not ugly, but on the contrary, very beautiful. Anyway, I was never able to get rid of my complexes completely. © Natalia Bogush / Facebook
“We’ve sacrificed our whole lives for you and you are ungrateful!”
Parents work hard to ensure that their offspring live better than they did. For some of them, a kid becomes the center of their Universe, around whom the whole world rotates. But it’s not the kid’s choice and they don’t have to always be paying off this debt to their parents for the things they invested in them — after all, it was their choice, not their child’s choice. The child who is instilled with the idea that they are the meaning of someone else’s existence carries on their shoulders the burden of responsibility for the well-being of the adults in their life and a sense of guilt for not always meeting their expectations. It’s like they are living “with a loan” instead of simply enjoying life. My diagnosis is “we did everything for you, but you...” I was always bought things without them actually asking me if I wanted them. Of course, all the things I got were the best. But not what I asked for. I won’t be able to pay them off for all the material goods that I have and I am constantly reminded about this. I am always given a bill: your parents have done soooooo much for you but you... I, in my turn, absolutely don’t have my own life — I am paying “the loan” with it. © Irmali / AdMe
“You are a boy/girl after all!”
Many children are banned from certain things and behaviors due to gender stereotypes. Boys are traditionally not supposed to cry, show tenderness, or wear pink, while girls are not supposed to climb trees, play with cars, or play hockey. These restrictions prevent children from freely learning about the world around them and openly expressing their feelings. What’s more, these phrases cause kids to form the wrong idea about each other. Boys grow up with a feeling that their female peers are somehow worse than they are because “it’s shameful to behave like a girl.” Girls, in their turn, feel that all boys are aggressive hooligans that they’d better stay away from. This causes problems in relationships with the opposite sex for both parties. “You are a girl!” is the phrase that takes first place among my mom’s favorite sayings. I can’t shout, I can’t fight, and I can’t turn off a potential boyfriend she has found for me. © Mnogolikaya / Yandex Zen

Ancient Egyptians used a paste made of oxidized copper for eye makeup. This dangerous ingredient would eventually lead to irritation and insomnia, but they were ready to suffer in the name of beauty. And although the cosmetics industry has changed massively over the years, some of the products in your makeup bag may still be sabotaging your efforts to get healthy and flawless skin.
We at Bright Side decided to find out which popular skincare products may do more harm than good.
1. Facial scrubs with rough particles
Regular exfoliation (daily or weekly) may damage your skin. Abrasive scrubs remove the outer layer of the skin and harm the barrier that protects it from the environment. After exfoliation your skin may temporarily feel oil-free, but later it will produce even more oil to compensate for dryness.
2. Some acne treatments
Topical acne treatments may leave your skin feeling dry and irritated. Although these symptoms are often temporary, your skin still may be itchy, and even peel or burn. Some oral acne medications can have more serious side effects. Antibiotics, for example, can give you an upset stomach or make you dizzy.
3. Gua sha stones
Massaging your skin with gua sha stones has many benefits, like improving blood circulation and reducing neck pain. But because it involves rubbing your skin with a massage tool, it can cause the tiny blood vessels near the surface of your skin to burst. This can result in bruising and minor bleeding.
4. Dry brush
Dry brushing is great for exfoliating the skin, but it may not be for everyone. It can irritate sensitive skin or leave it feeling overly dry. People with inflamed skin, including people with eczema and psoriasis, should avoid dry brushing as it could lead to infection.
5. Alcohol wipes
Wiping your face with alcohol pads may feel like cleansing because it leaves the skin feeling matte. But in reality, it strips away your skin’s much-needed oils, triggering sebum production, and actually making your acne worse.
6. Chemical exfoliants
If you’re using a chemical exfoliator more than once a week, you may be damaging the protective film of natural oils that covers your skin. Using products with harmful ingredients can result in inflammation and breakouts. Harsh ingredients in chemical exfoliants may remove too many layers of the skin, leaving you with red and irritated skin.
7. Pore strips
Nose strips can remove more than just blackheads, clearing pores entirely of sebum and dead skin cells. These components inside the pores are meant to maintain a healthy oil balance in the skin, and when they get removed, your pores could become exposed to irritating dirt and oil.

Popular Hollywood actors and actresses are always in the spotlight and we’re used to that. Many of them never stopped their careers and kept delivering new roles for decades. For example, Meryl Streep hasn’t taken any breaks for longer than one year in her entire career, since 1977. But there are some celebrities that we only remember as young people and we wouldn’t recognize in photos where they are older.
We at Bright Side decided to fill this gap in our knowledge and found some of the famous actors that still looked great, even once they got older.
Audrey Hepburn
The actress was incredibly popular in the 50s and 60s of the previous century and the American Film Institute considers her to be the 3rd greatest actress of American cinema. Viewers remember her for her roles in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Roman Holiday, and How to Steal a Million. She endured a serious depression throughout her life, which may have eventually stopped her from appearing in movies later in life. And that’s really unfortunate because she looked like a queen when she was old.
Hugh Grant
The film Maurice released in 1987 became the first success for this amazing actor. But these 3 films made him a star — Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones’s Diary. Many people know this actor for his wonderful acting in romantic comedies. Hugh Grant is a father of 5 kids, and he is married to Anna Bernstein, a TV producer. Hugh still looks great, by the way.
Jacqueline Bisset
She’s famous for her roles in the films of the 1960s-80s: Wild Orchid, Napoleon and Josephine: A Love Story, and The Man from Acapulco with Jean-Paul Belmondo. The actress is still popular in Hollywood but she doesn’t have any leading roles. Jacqueline Bisset has never been married, but she’s been in a long-term relationship with Russian ballet dancer Alexander Godunov.
Michelle Pfeiffer
The period from the end of the ’80s to the beginning of the ’90s was very successful for this actress — at the time, there were a lot of movies with her and her acting was praised by critics. At the same time, she was nominated for a Golden Globe and an Oscar several times. The actress took a 5-year break in her career in the 2000s and then started working again.
Ornella Muti
She mostly appeared in Italian movies and became really famous after her role in Il Bisbetico Domato with Adriano Celentano. The actress has a brand of jewelry with stores in Rome, Milan, Paris, Riga, Moscow, and Almaty.
Richard Gere
The most famous films of this actor are Hachi: A Dog’s Tale, Pretty Woman, and Primal Fear. He was married to Cindy Crawford and Carey Lowell. And now he’s married to a Spanish publicist Alejandra Silva. Last year, he had a third son.
Jon Bon Jovi
The founder of Bon Jovi, aside from his music career, has appeared in movies and has created his own charity: he founded an organization to help fight poverty and opened a restaurant for poor people. On the menu, there are no prices, and everyone pays as much as they want. The musician is raising 4 kids and he’s still really creative.
Sharon Stone
At the beginning of her career, Sharon Stone was part of a modeling agency, even modeling in Europe, and then, when she returned to the US, she appeared in a Woody Allen film. She became famous around the world after her role in Basic Instinct, and she won the Golden Globe for her role as the wife of the main character in Casino.
Courteney Cox
This actress is mostly famous for the role of Monica on the TV series Friends, that she was on for 10 years, and her role as journalist Gale Weathers in Scream. At the moment, she doesn’t appear in movies very often, but she was the director and producer of Just Before I Go.
Geena Davis
American actress and photo model Geena Davis is famous for her role in The Fly, Thelma & Louise, and The Accidental Tourist. Geena is against gender discrimination, and she’s also a member of the Mensa community for people with the highest IQs.
Kevin Costner
He started doing movies at the beginning of the ’80s. Kevin used the money he earned in his first movies to create Dances with Wolves, which he directed and where he played the lead role. The movie was a hit, won him 2 Oscars, and made him famous around the world. Kevin has 7 kids and has been married 3 times.
Kevin Bacon
Kevin Bacon appeared in the big hits of the ’90s and 2000s — Mystic River, Friday The 13th, and Tremors. He’s won a Golden Globe, but aside from his acting career, he’s a producer and a director, and he’s raising a son and a daughter.
Jeff Goldblum
Jeff Goldblum had his first role in 1974 and became very popular after his roles in The Fly, Independence Day, and Jurassic Park. He’s been married 3 times, and at the moment he’s raising 2 sons with Emilie Livingston. Also, Goldblum is believed to be one of the most stylish men today and he’s regularly on the pages of fashion magazines.
Billy Zane
The first success of the actor was in the movie series Back to the Future, but he became truly famous after the release of the iconic Titanic where he portrayed the role of Caledon Hockley, the fiancé of the main character. Billy doesn’t appear in big projects and prefers to take the director’s seat. He has an Instagram page where he tells his fans about his life.

Denmark might make people think about fairy tales. After all one of history’s most famous Danes was the world-famous writer Hans Christian Andersen. And his famous story, “The Little Mermaid,” has been famously immortalized by a famous statue along the country’s Langelinie promenade. For some, it also helps that Denmark the home of the old amusement park called Tivoli, which is right in the middle of Copenhagen, inspired Walt Disney to create Disneyland. But the country is more than that.
We at Bright Side decided to dive deep into the culture and everyday lives of the Danish people and find out why they were deemed to be one of the happiest nations in the world. And in the bonus section, you will find out what funny situations might happen because of Danish politeness.
The Danish government cares about making the everyday lives of the inhabitants of the country more interesting . To do that, the government organizes and sponsors different classes, sports activities, and other interesting events, and everything is totally free. The Danish people can create their own clubs, and get financing and a space for the club from the government. Always coming up with new ideas to engage people, the government once even recreated the country in Minecraft.

The Danish people can create their own clubs, and get financing and a space for the club from the government. Always coming up with new ideas to engage people, the government once even recreated the country in Minecraft. In Denmark, they really support gender equality which is why local women are not afraid of being alone. They value their independence and single women who are over 30-35 years old are considered to be totally okay and there’s absolutely no social pressure on them. Danish women don’t rush to get married and have kids as soon as possible — usually, they create strong and happy families when they’re around 40 years old.
Children are allowed to do anything there . Our reader Eli Moor wrote, “I’ve seen a kid on the restaurant floor that was just lying there and said, ‘Mom, I’ll wait for you here.’ Everyone just smiled and the boy continued to wait for his mom there because he wanted to.”
. Our reader Eli Moor wrote, “I’ve seen a kid on the restaurant floor that was just lying there and said, ‘Mom, I’ll wait for you here.’ Everyone just smiled and the boy continued to wait for his mom there because he wanted to.” Most children in Denmark begin going to child care when they are a year old or even younger . They are taken care of by trained professionals and begin to learn both the Danish language and the Danish social rules, like working in groups and taking turns.
. They are taken care of by trained professionals and begin to learn both the Danish language and the Danish social rules, like working in groups and taking turns. During the cold time of year, the Danish people don’t put a lot of clothes on their kids and let them sleep in strollers outside. This way, the kids get used to the cold and the harsh winters. Thanks to their strong immune systems, children can walk around without their hats, and they feel great even when it’s cold out.
Even though there are not a lot of hot days in Denmark (around 2-3 months a year), they still manage to go camping several times, plant a garden, and enjoy resting in cottages out of town .
. In Denmark, there are no homeless cats or dogs just walking around in the streets looking for food. Shelina Andersen from Denmark says, "If someone sees a homeless cat or dog on the street, they have to call a special municipal service to take the animal to a shelter. If it’s proven that an owner just threw their animal away, they will be fined. Also, there are limitations on the number of animals you can have. For example, you can’t have more than 3 dogs because you won’t be able to pay enough attention to all of them.

Danish women don’t exhaust themselves with diets and fitness programs . What they care about the most is enjoying their lives, which allows them to keep the balance between playing sports and eating delicious food. Eating potatoes with salmon or soup, and then going on a bike ride is totally ordinary there.

People in Denmark wear very simple clothes. This is where you can really see the famous Scandinavian minimalism. It is very likely that you won’t even notice a millionaire walking by you on the street. The Danish love simple clothing, combining just a few colors, and not using many accessories. They love comfortable and practical clothes.
The locals are okay with showing their feelings in public . Couples hold hands, kiss, and hug around every corner, and men are very tender and careful with their women. Danish men think that being sentimental doesn’t undermine their masculinity.

The public order in this country is based on trust . A Pikabu user living in Denmark says, “There are no guards or cameras, and you won’t see any turnstiles on buses or trains. It’s amazing.”

However, they don’t really wear helmets.
. It’s the most popular kind of transportation, even if it’s snowing outside. However, they don’t really wear helmets. In Denmark, you can even see unusual trash cans that are tilted. They are tilted so that while riding a bicycle, you can throw away your trash without getting off.
The ideology of the Danish people is perfectly described by the so-called Law of Jante. This term was coined by Dano-Norwegian author Aksel Sandemose in his satirical novel A Fugitive Crosses His Tracks. There are 10 rules saying that people shouldn’t show how wealthy they are, boast about their achievements and abilities, think they are special, or mock others . This explains why Danish politicians ride bikes to work.
. This explains why Danish politicians ride bikes to work. In general, Danish meals are highly caloric and nutritious. The people in this country eat a lot of potatoes and vegetables, boiled or steamed, and also a lot of pork and fish. And because Denmark is surrounded by the sea, seafood is a huge part of their diet. Some of the most popular everyday foods are herrings smørrebrød, and fish cakes. Besides, Danish people love sweets, especially cakes that are present at every dinner.
Bonus: Amazing Danish politeness
I study in Denmark and because it’s hard to be a student and not have a job, I decided to start working in a company that delivers mail and other stuff at night. So, I was riding my bike downhill, and I needed to turn left. But I was going too fast and I slipped on some leaves. My knee and my nose were scratched and I hit my head pretty bad, so it was hard to get up. I was on the ground, resting. A Danish man was riding past me, looked at me, and said, “Good morning!” And he just kept on going. This is when I realized that being polite is always important. © Dryzd / Pikabu
