Tom Sizemore was never supposed to be in this film at all. As we already know, Billy Bob Thornton had his part, and only dropped out because he physically couldn't do the beach scenes that were required of him. That opened the door for Sizemore, but Sizemore was a man who was already fighting battles of his own.
Sizemore had a serious drug problem; one that plagued him both before and after the making of 'Saving Private Ryan', but not during. Spielberg warned him when he was hired that he'd be blood tested every single day during filming, and if he failed once, he'd immediately be fired from the cast, and his role would be re-shot by a replacement. Sizemore's part required 58 days of filming; replacing him would mean a lot of additional work both for Spielberg and for all the other actors involved in shooting his scenes. Thankfully - for this time, at least - Sizemore was able to stay clean.
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.
