Here's another huge acting name who made it to the top by accident! Joe Pesci's first love was music, and he was initially far more interested in playing guitar and singing than he was in turning up to auditions. He even had a great friend in the business in the shape of Frankie Valli, who could probably have given him a leg up. In the end, though, the acting bug caught him, and movie history is all the better for it.
It's impossible to imagine Pesci playing anything other than a Sicilian tough guy, and that's all thanks to his other big-name friend, Robert De Niro. De Niro saw him acting in 'The Death Collector,' and recommended him for a part to Martin Scorsese. After that, he was on the train to the big time. In fact, the only thing that isn't 'big time' about him is his height - he's 5 foot 4. Pesci believes that the fact he has 'angry short guy syndrome' actually makes it easier for him to play menacing characters on screen.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
