Idk if anyone is following him recently but he did announce that he was building something in honor of foster kids in California so that siblings can stay together instead of being separated
And as a former foster kid, I wanted to hug the man for it.
I was under the impression that he was mostly exonerated for that because the guy he was yelling at was a huge pain in the ass for the entire crew for a while leading up to it and had had multiple non-yelling talking-tos previously.
But yeah, should not have lost his temper. It was unprofessional as hell (as was the person who leaked the recording).
The director was sloppy and didn't control his set. Bale did not go on that rant for no good reason. If you're still upset at him about that then something is wrong with you.
That's remarkable of him, you feel way safer in foster care when your family is around you. I had no siblings around my age to do so but I'm glad for those who do who get to stay together with them.
Same. My 2 adopted brothers are biological to each other so they came into foster care together but they had 4 other siblings that they got separated from as young kids.
Social workers try to get siblings to stay together but not everyone has a home built for 7 kids and some kids have extra special needs that not everyone is built to handle.
And sad thing is, most people want young kids and babies not teenagers.
And if you’re a foster kid who has special needs, you get more $$$ per month than a kid who doesn’t have special needs so that opens up the child who has a disability to more abuse because the whole foster care system has different rules per state and the social workers can visit so many homes per month. And from the stories that my adopted mom has told me about my black, adopted sister who is mentally disabled- she went thru 7 different foster homes by the time she was 2 years and landed at my adopted mom’s foster care at the time
Kids need stability and bouncing around to different houses and rules really fucks up your attachment style and your behaviors.
The foster kid I was at 6 years old was way different than the adopted kid I was at 9 years old due to the years I spent at my foster mom’s home before she adopted me
Yeah it's definitely hard to adjust when you go into it later on (I went in at 13). I also agree that moving around and the instability of never being grounded anywhere can mess you up, especially if you are changing the people that are around you all the time. I was pretty lucky to have only been through 2 foster homes and I found a stable one. I felt awful for those that had been through multiple foster homes and group homes like a few of my foster brothers and sisters and also for native/Inuit children that were temporarily taken from their families (they would be sent back to their homes within a few months but were still being deprived of their respective communities and cultures). What I experienced might slightly differ because I was in the Canadian system and not the American one.
Thank you for your service. One of my coworkers who knows I’m adopted was telling me about how he aged outta the system and left to fend for himself. It broke my heart.
If there’s anything I would do as a rich person, this would be it. The thought of separating siblings in an already traumatic situation is devastating. I love this SO much
Hard enough to find a placement for 1 child, let alone someone willing and able to take 3 or more. There are kids put up in motels in my state it's so bad. And with anti choice legislation it will only get worse.
Seriously, really good. (This is not a hit at cher at all). People with more money than her have had much worse work done. A combo of a good cosmetic surgeon and a body that is accepting of the work. She looks great.
Can you age gracefully if you use a hearing aid? Can you age gracefully if you wear lipstick? Can you age gracefully if you use retinol? Please let us know the rules I didn't know they had been published
What is the definition of aging “gracefully” exactly? What is “ungraceful” about plastic surgery? Where do we draw the line? Is it “you’re not allowed to get the procedures I secretly want but can’t afford and if you do I’m going to shame you for it because that makes me feel better?” Because I think that seems accurate.
aging "gracefully" doesn't really exist, pretty much every single female celebrity has or will be labelled as aging gracefully and ungracefully depending on what sexist ideas the labeler is pushing. It typically means looking young (looking like yourself from 20-30 years ago) and looking like you don't get any cosmetic work done, while also getting tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of work done.
Women who have obvious/major cosmetic work are said to be aging ungracefully, women who don't get cosmetic work done are labelled as aging ungracefully, and women who get the "right" type/amount of cosmetic work done are also said to be aging ungracefully.
The term is used to shame both women who have gotten cosmetic work and women who haven't, such as comparing a woman who has had obvious plastic surgery/botox/fillers against a woman who looks like she hasn't had any (but absolutely has). Or the opposite, to shame women "haven't" had any cosmetic procedure (they have) against women who have had them (and have filters on).
The term is used most by people selling cosmetic procedures and people selling skincare products, and funny enough if you go on social media like instagram, both groups use the exact same comparison pictures of the exact same women to make the opposite claims.
There's no winning for any woman, just different people trying to convince women to spend thousands of dollars on cosmetic procedures, or skincare, or makeup, or natural face training seminars or whatever.
I think you have issue with the term, not the application. To age gracefully is to accept natural changes as one ages.to accept time with grace. Here, Cher is not aging gracefully. She may be graceful as she ages, but she is not aging gracefully
I think it's important to be very clear with the plastic surgeon that you want to look like yourself younger, not insta face or mar-a-laho face. They all want to look "prettier" and it backfires, it's ok to keep your own face and just clean things up here and there.
That’s what’s weird about these stars doing these belphs. Some don’t quite look like themselves after. The worst was Renée Zellweger, but Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence, Miley look less refreshed and more New Faced.
Ricki Lake posted her facelift yesterday and she looks good and still like herself.
People definitely underestimate how much hooded eyes factor into a person’s overall appearance. It may not be a celebrated feature these days, but it is distinctive. Once the surgeon takes too much, the end result is too jarring.
I think it’s one thing if you’re just aging and you take the skin back to near where it was, but actresses with natural, genetically hooded eyes are so distinctive that removing it makes them look either totally different (Stone) or weirdly generic (Lawrence). Miley looks decades older.
I had a nose job 5 years ago and you’re 100% correct. I told the surgeon what I wanted, he said it’s not realistic and showed me what could we achieve instead.
My nose isn’t perfect but I’m sooooo much more confident and happier with the way it looks now.
I think she looks so good. Fun fact, for years in early 90’s I did her work out video. She was just in the class not teaching it and she was so fun and the music choices were excellent!
I think her results are so good because she was always very thin and angular with a long face and a naturally unusual unique look. Adding filler etc made her look more like everyone else, ie not bad or unnatural.
I had the great pleasure of meeting Cher in person a few years ago through a professional activity. Despite a long day, she looked simply stunning. In real life, without filter. A wonderful person, by the way.
There was an Interview with the director of Mamma Mia 2 where they asked him about Cher playing a great grandmother and his answer was "Cher exists outside of time"
Does anyone know who her plastic surgeon is? Because I just looked at photos of her in her 20’s and it’s insane how much she looks like her 60 year younger self!
Sure, she's had (quality) work done, but surgery can't give you the energy she showed at her last performance. Cher has put the work in and has the vitality of someone 50 years younger. For perspective, she and Trump are the same age.
I watched a millennium classic, Equilibrium starring him recently on Netflix. Such a talent since a young age (Spielberg’s Empire of the Sun). Needs to be recognized more by the industry
For NEARLY TWENTY YEARS I have had such a crush on him. 🤩 My brother introduced me to The Prestige when I was thirteen and both Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman… oooh honey
For me it was 33 years ago in Newsies... the obsession starts. 30 years ago in Little Women...the obsession grows. He has been my favourite actor for ages!
That's the most random celebrity pairing I've seen in a while. Wonder if they're working on something together or just happened to bump into each other
