Philip Seymour Hoffman played a number of gay or bisexual roles over the course of his career, to the point where people who weren't familiar with his personal life actually thought he was gay. In reality, he was in a committed relationship with Mimi O'Donnell from 1999 all the way through to his tragic death in 2014.
Of all the gay roles that Hoffman played, the one he received the most attention and credit for was 'Capote,' the Truman Capote biopic which hit cinemas in 2005 and won him an Oscar. The movie captures Capote at a pivotal moment in his life, drawn into a grim fascination with the murders of Perry Smith. He turns Smith's story into the book 'In Cold Blood' but is traumatized by Smith's execution and never writes again. Hoffman's performance captures Capote's sorrow and torment perfectly.
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.
