Somehow, this always gets overlooked. Apologies if you're one of the people who noticed him, and are wondering why we're pointing it out, but many people have no idea that the 'Fast and Furious' and 'XXX' action movie star was in 'Saving Private Ryan', even though they saw him with their own eyes!
To be fair to those who didn't recognize him, he does look dramatically different in the film to the way we know him now. He was young, and it was only the third film role of his career. Spielberg had seen him in his second film, 'Multi-Facial', which he'd written, produced and starred in himself. The performance made an impression on the director, who offered him a small part as Private Caparzo in his war epic. Diesel was paid a total of $100,000 for his role. That's nothing compared to the big money he gets from his major franchises now, but we're sure it was helpful to a young actor at the start of his career.
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.
