The New 'Halloween' Trailer Is So Scary, We Bet You'll Pee Your Pants Before It's Done

Jun 112018

The trailer for the next ‘Halloween’ movie is already out, and I am as terrified as I was when I saw the first movie from the Halloween franchise.

Seriously guys, if you’re a horror/thriller movie fan and you haven’t seen anything from the Halloween franchise, are you even a fan? If in case, you’re oblivious and have managed to avoid all knowledge about the franchise, let me tell you that the movie centres around a serial murderer called Michael Myers (not to be confused with Mike Myers) who is frantically on a killing spree on Hallows eve, while wearing a really scary mask. Okay, I just got the jitters again.

The actual story begins when Michael is sent to a psychiatric facility for 15 years, when he kills his sister, Judith at the age of 10. 15 years later, Micheal escapes the facility and goes on a murder spree, terrorising a small town in America.

The OG ‘Halloween’ released way back in 1978 and was directed by John Carpenter. After the first release, a lot of sequels followed through and the original was remade again in 2007, and the sequel to the original was released in 2009.

But the recent news around the releases tells us that the movie releasing this year, after 40 years from the original, will be the sequel to the 1978 release and it will not follow any of the previous sequels that were originally made.

The best part about this remake? It has the original Michael Myers and the original woman, he’s always haunted! Yes! Nick Castle and Jamie Lee Curtis are definitely in the film, along with new add-ons of course. The movie is directed by David Gordan Green and also stars Judy Greer and Andi Marichak.

The producer, Jason Blum, teased the ‘Halloween’ franchise fans on Twitter, before the trailer released on Friday, saying ‘The Halloween Trailer is dropping Friday’, in three separate tweets.

“The sequel is like the original in many many ways. The writers have connected the dots of the story and it made so much sense that it felt totally appropriate” Jamie Lee Curtis told a popular publication.

Well, the new ‘Halloween’ definitely respects the DNA of the franchise and keeps the finale as creepy as one would imagine it to be! I, for one can’t wait to watch this with someone for company for sure, or I might just have a heart failure and die.

The movie though can be watched by people who haven’t seen ‘Halloween’ at all. It’s not like you have to watch the earlier movies. If you want to brush up on the ‘Halloween’ movie history you can definitely read up on Google or probably find them and watch them all!

‘Halloween’ will make its way to you on October 19th, right around Hallows eve! (jeez, what are the odds, right?). Here’s hoping 2018 is as good as they say it will be for the horror and thriller genre!

The Tragic Life Story Of Keanu Reeves Will Give Hope To Those Who Are Struggling In Life Right Now

Celebrities

May 162018

What comes to your mind when I say ‘the one’? I mean, apart from your significant other, who else pops in your head? Still feeling a little lost? Well, I am talking about theundisputed king of immortality- Keanu Reeves and his very awe inspiring life, which we all know the least about.

The actor obviously made a tremendous place in my heart after the first time I watched him on screen in ‘Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure’. Two young lads, go back in time and bring back history to complete their school project-what’s there not to like in this movie? And as any young teenager with developing levels of oestrogen, I started crushing on Ted aka Keanu the minute I laid my eyes on him and there was no looking back.

But the man is a lot more than a crush for some teenage boys and girls and when you do get to know his story, you will realise just how strong someone needs or has to be, because being strong is the only choice they’re left with.

In 1999, Keanu Reeves achieved heights of fame for his science fiction blockbuster ‘The Matrix’. Of course, some of us had to watch it more than once to actually get the literal context of the Wachowski brothers’ hit wonder. Neo (Reeves), also the anagram for ‘one’ (from ‘one one’), was the prodigy child of the virtual world, who was the only one who could end the war between humans and machines in the Matrix. Everything about this movie was just about right; the production, the effects, the storyline, the soundtrack and the actors and of course, the movie won four Academy Awards, making it a beautiful and a successful journey for everyone. Everyone except Keanu.

There wasn’t a dearth of doubt about the fact that Keanu was happy receiving much recognition and acclaim for his role in the film, but with all that success, there was emptiness that surrounded him, every given day. His life wasn’t easy and neither were his aspirations to achieve an ounce of happiness, but as we all know it, he always pushed forward and did the best he could, to never let anything deter his spirit.

This is his story, as we know it.

Being 50 today, I am sure Keanu looks back at life in a more grateful way than any of us do, ever. At the age of 3, Keanu’s father left their family but he was still in touch with Keanu for a few years, but because of the divorce and the family moving around a lot, his father eventually lost touch with him, leaving Keanu to grow up without a father figure. Schooling was not aces for him either. He had a major struggle with dyslexia and not the kind we imagined to have when we were kids, but a more serious and pronounced disorder. He changed 4 schools in the span of 5 years and eventually had to leave school, without earning himself a diploma.

One would hope he made it okay and of course he did! He found his love in reading and he’s an avid reader now, but back then he found his solace in sports, when academics seemed tough for him. He picked up ice-hockey and quickly became the best goal keeper, so much so, that he was nicknamed ‘the wall’. Well, perhaps he was the Dravid for his ice hockey team back then but as fate would have it, his sports career was shot-lived too and due to some injuries, he couldn’t play ice hockey for Canada. But it’s true that there’s nothing that deters a true sportsman’s spirit and he didn’t stop from playing local tournaments!

At a recent Reddit AMA (ask me anything) Keanu truly expressed how he felt when he lost his closest friend River Phoenix, an actor and a musician from Oregon, at 23, due to a drug overdose.

“He was a remarkable human person and actor. We got along very well, and I miss him. I think of him often.”

His best friend’s death left him completely broken but he was still doing what he did best- keeping his heart open and embracing life as it came to him. In 1998 Keanu met Jennifer Syme and the two fell beautifully in love and a year later in 1999, Jennifer gave birth to their baby daughter. The sad bit? Their daughter was a still born. They’d named her Ava Archer Syme-Reeves and she was buried at the Westwood Village Memorial Park cemetery. Due to the burden of this loss, Jennifer and Keanu started drifting apart and finally ended their relationship.

“Grief changes shape, but it never ends.” It’s a lesson that we’ll all likely learn”. Keanu told a popular publication in 2006.

A decade of abandonment from his loved ones, one would think he’d have had enough for a lifetime but that’s what’s overwhelming and surprising for all us ardent ‘fans’.

He smiled and waved at everything that life brought along his way and never gave up, not even once. The only real thing that changed about him was how he thought about money. After the tragedies that he went through, life wasn’t completely unkind and he was on a blockbuster marathon in Hollywood. From ‘The Matrix’ to ‘Speed’ to even ‘Constantine’ and ‘John Wick’, Keanu Reeves was the new Harrison Ford and everyone loved him. But all that fame and money didn’t really matter to him and at the Reddit AMA he told his fans that he likes to keep it simple.

“Money is the last thing I think about. I could live on what I have already made for the next few centuries.” Keanu told a popular publication.

Keanu, is by far the most charitable, grounded and humble actors present in Hollywood today and he doesn’t think twice before making generous contributions towards charity. After the success of ‘The Matrix’ and its sequels, Keanu gave $80 million, out of his $114 million earnings for the special effects and the makeup staff of the film because he thought they were the true deserving recipients of the money the movie generated. He took pay cuts for films like ‘The Replacements’ and ‘The Devil’s Advocate’, so that the films would have enough budget to feature stars like Gene Hackman and Al Pacino. That’s the kind of humiloty we wish to witness in our Bollywood stars and wonder, if it really exists within their realms.

But more than the amount of pain he’s gone through, seeing someone else suffer is what really saddens Keanu. Apart from the loss that he’s seen all his life, he was not ready to face another one, when his sister was suffering from leukaemia for over a decade. He stood by her every waking hour and even donated a large portion of his ‘Matrix’ earnings to cancer-related charities all over the world and even set one up to help people with lesser monetary aids to fight cancer. For him, it was true charity and the thought of it, truly began at home.

Being one of the biggest stars Hollywood has had, Keanu Reeves is a man made of steel and would easily give Superman a run for his…okay maybe not Superman but he’d give any fallen hero a reason to rise again. The man’s net worth is $350 million but you will never see him show off. Heck, he still rides the subway and is really humble and nice about it and offers his seat to people who are standing, gasping for breath, seeing him being a nonchalant ‘commoner’.

He makes an effort to know everyone’s name in the movie he is starring. From the set designers to the helping aids, he’s friendly with everyone, making sure no one thinks he’s above all of them. He doesn’t wear flashy clothes, doesn’t drive a fancy car and he doesn’t age! He’s another species altogether! He rides round on his motorbike and up until ten years ago, he was still living on rent!

What does it take to become so grounded and kind in life? A bunch of traverse tragedies to shake your very core, so you realise what human existence is all about or a huge amount of loss around you, to make you take each day with nothing but gratitude? We guess, in Keanu’s case both these possibilities sound fair. He’s living his life, a bit morbid at times (yes, we’ve made fun of his sadness through memes and he’s taken them very kindly, thank you) but why shouldn’t he be internalising sadness while radiating joy all around him? While, most stars throw lavish, grand birthday bashes, Keanu, was spotted sitting next to a warehouse eating a cupcake on his birthday, chilling with people working there.

The Tragic Life Of Keanu Reeves Will Give Hope To Those Who Are Struggling In Life © Pinterest

Why shouldn’t he blame people around him for what he’s gone through? Why shouldn’t he be angry at the world for letting him down every now and then? Well, if we’ve learnt something from his life, it’s to never give up! While, sharing meals with homeless people, he does believe that all humans are equals and no one is above anyone else. That’s living inspiration, for anyone looking for inspiration, right there!

TBH, Keanu Reeves is a one man inspiration and I implore everyone reading this article-if you ever wish to give up, ever in life, read about him and his struggles and his steadfast stance on embracing life as is and I am sure, you will change your mind.

The beauty does a mix of 20-minute cardio and goes to the gym thrice a week and lifts weights. She has also been practicing kick-boxing, aerobics, various types of dances and some yoga and Pilates and of course she has a great diet to keep up with. She usually eats high protein foods and doesn’t skip a single meal. In fact she eats 6 diet controlled meals a day! Maybe try out something from her routine?

Milind Soman’s super fit mom makes us believe that age is just a number! The 78-year-old gives us inspiration in more ways than one. Not only can she hold a plank for 90 seconds, she can also do non-stop push-ups and complete a 100km walk in 41 hours! I mean wow! If I live to be 78, I’d want to be as fit as her! I am sure her son’s her inspiration too, somewhere or vice-versa!

Of course, it wasn’t but she made it seem so easy with that forever glow on her face.

The actress put on 18kgs during her pregnancy, with all the ghee and makhan laden paranthas but she also lost a lot of calcium, just like all mothers do when they’re pregnant. She drinks a tall glass of milk every night along with 20 to 30 minute of walking on the treadmill. It’s the best way to lose weight, post pregnancy. Of course Kareena doesn’t know yet if she wants to go back to her size 0 days but she’s hell-bent on coming back into shape with the right diet and a strict walking schedule. She also hits the gym and does a cardio routine.

Pinky Roshan

If you think you can’t lose weight because of age, think again! Pinky Roshan lost 25 kgs four years ago and has never looked back since. I think her son has something to do with that. Have you seen his physique?! But we know that he draws a lot of inspiration from her. We’re in awe of her fitness regime and if you ever need to gain back that strength all you need to do is follow her on Instagram.

The Avengers Who Survived 'Infinity War' Got Incredible Matching Tattoos In Memory Of Their Fallen Brethren

Celebrities

May 082018

Have you ever gotten inked for something you truly love or believe in? Kind of a crazy idea isn’t it? It becomes crazier, when you know the permanence of your tattoo and the fact that’s it’s going to stay with you forever!

The original Avengers did something as bizarre and exciting and it’s really making us question the finality of the Avenger franchise! The 5 original Avengers got matching tattoos to celebrate the cinematic event of the decade- ‘Avengers: Infinity War’, which is a remarkable culmination of 18 films, over the span of 10 years in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

@avengers part 1… They say it’s better to give than to receive … @joshualord ðŸŽ¥ and #dj credit @jimmy_rich

A post shared by Robert Downey Jr. (@robertdowneyjr) on May 7, 2018 at 8:57am PDT

Heading the tattooed bunch was Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), as it was totally her idea and she roped in Chris Evans (Captain America), to get inked in New York, by a very successful tattoo artist Josh Lord. After these two got their tats done, they requested Lord to fly to LA, so the rest of the motley crew could get the same tattoo, by the same tattoo artist! That’s when Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) got their tattoos done too. The only one who was missing from the bunch was Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner AKA Hulk) ‘ços, you know body ink is not very ‘Hulk’ like!

Wait, it doesn’t end there though! Guess what these tattooed junkies did right after they got their tattoos? To make this a memorable event and thank the ink-lord, the originals each drew a line on the tattoo artist, with the same tattoo gun that was used on them, creating a complete massacre on the artists body and of course thanking him for inking them so beautifully! Oh wait, I completely forgot to tell you what they got though! They each got the Avengers logo with the number ‘6’ entwined into it, to represent the original 6 members, as body ink! I mean, it’s pretty obvious and also makes us question the fate of the next Avengers movie!

“Five of the original six Avengers got a tattoo and the sixth was the tattoo artist, who gave it to five of us, the one who opted out being Mark Ruffalo.

It was (Scarlett) Johansson’s idea, and she and (Chris) Evans did it in New York. Then, their New York guy, Josh Lord, who is amazing, flew out to LA, he did me, did (Jeremy) Renner, and then we just bullied (Chris) Hemsworth into doing it, and he got it.

And each one of us drew a line on the artist with his own tattoo gun and it was a total massacre. Each of us contributed to giving the tattoo artist the sixth tattoo that he designed for us.

By the way, he’s got another one on him that Scarlett did, which is beautiful, which is crazy, because the line she drew on him, which was just supposed to be a straight line, looked like a lightning bolt. It was a mess.” – Robert Downey Jr. ( as told to a popular entertainment publication).

Despite the crooked lightning bolt Scarlett tattooed on Lord, I am sure the bunch had a ball and I really wish we could witness them all getting inked to see who really flinches with pain and who’s nonchalant about it! I also hope we get to see the final tat the Avengers gave Josh Lord, because apparently it was truly a ‘massacre’ and we love massacres, don’t we?

But, did you know, this isn’t the first time a successful movie franchise team is getting tattooed together. This happened way back in 2001 as well, when the actors who played the 9 members of The Fellowship from ‘Lord of the Rings’, celebrated the end of a fantastic trilogy by getting matching tattoos! Well, everyone except John Rhys Davies (Gimli). They all got the number ‘9’ in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Elvish Tengwar script and I am sure it looked beautiful!

The New 'The Incredibles 2' Trailer Is Here & It's 'The Fantastic Four' Film We've Always Wanted

Celebrities

Apr 132018

Guess who’s back, back again! Well, let me give you a hint! It’s the number one animated crime fighting super-hero family that exists in the Pixar universe. Yes, you guessed right, ‘The Incredibles’ are back to save the world once again!

The New 'The Incredibles 2' Trailer Is Here And We're Dying With Laughter (c)Walt Disney Studios

‘The Incredibles’ franchise is rolling out its second instalment this summer and we can’t wait to watch this family in action once again! Actually, this time it’s just going to be Elastigirl (Holy Hunter) stealing the limelight by campaigning for the return of the ‘supers’ and of course, is fighting crime as per usual, while Mr. Incredible indulges in far more exciting adventures.

What do you think is Mr. Incredibles’ ‘exciting’ adventure, anyway? While the Mrs. is away, he gets to babysit his super-powered kids-Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack and it’s going to take a lot more than strength to keep himself up to the task! Of course, getting their homework done is way tougher than fighting crime, any given day!

The New 'The Incredibles 2' Trailer Is Here And We're Dying With Laughter (c)Walt Disney Studios

The first movie appeared fourteen years earlier in 2004, where Brad Bird, the brainchild behind the animation, drew inspiration from the comic books of the 60s and of course from his own personal family life as well.

“I have been thinking about it. People think that I have not been, but I have—because I love those characters, and love that world. I am stroking my chin and scratching my head. I have many, many elements that I think would work really well in another Incredibles film, and if I can get ’em to click all together, I would probably wanna do that.” – Brad Bird) As told to a publication in an interview in 2013)

The New 'The Incredibles 2' Trailer Is Here And We're Dying With Laughter (c)Walt Disney Studios

The reason Bird took more than a decade to come out with a sequel is because he didn’t want to rush out to a second part immediately, after the massive success of the first. But fortunately, fans all over the world still remember the film fondly and I am sure nothing is going to stop them from filling cinema seats, to watch the second part, releasing mid June.

Bird hopes the sequel is even more successful than the first movie. Well, let’s just wait and watch what the most awaited animation of the year has in store for us.

Jason Statham Latest 'The Meg' Has Him Chasing Sharks, Not Humans & It's Looking Phenomenal

Celebrities

Apr 112018

How many shark movies have you really seen all your life? Let me guess? All of them? And why not, shark movies have the thrill of horror and gore put together, with a crazy, wild animal, who is ripping flesh apart like it’s cheddar cheese! My point though is, if you put together all shark movie franchises there are in Hollywood, nothing, I repeat nothing, is ever going to beat the one that’s going to hit the theatres near you, pretty soon!

Jason Statham has been in every kind of action movie there is and the only thing he had to strike off his bucket list was to be chased around by a prehistoric shark, deep in the ocean! And guess what, he’s completely checked that off from his list of things to do by starring in the newest shark adventure called ‘The Meg’. Now, don’t go by the name. The name may sound gentle and dainty AF but it’s actually short for ‘Megalodon’, which was a prehistoric shark, and is duly extinct now! Phew, thank God for that! Megalodon actually means ‘big teeth’ and boy, did it have huge canines, which were razor sharp. The shark existed about 2.3 million years ago, during the early Miocene era. So anyway, coming back to The Meg, the movie also stars Rainn Wilson (The Office), Ruby Rose, Winston Chao, Olafur Darri Olafsson, Sophia Shuya Cai, Masi Oka and many more.

The film is actually based on the bestselling novel- ‘Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror’, by Steve Alten and is directed by Jon Turtletaub, the same guy who directed the ‘National Treasure’ franchise, the one we all loved! But this movie is not just any other shark film. I mean, nothing can or should be compared to the likes of ‘Jaws’ (I didn’t swim or take a shower for days after seeing the series!) but it has some terrific, logically sequential shots, that can make you, maybe, wet your seat! And of course, how do we forget the movie is actually based on a real life creature, who by the way was supposedly spotted, somewhere in the deep oceans in the 90s! *shudders*.

The plot is a bit clichéd though, but then how else do you create a creature right from the imagination of an aqua phobic writer, if you don’t have it in an already familiar plot line! A deep-sea submersible is attacked by the 75-foot monster (Megalodon), disrupting the workings of the amphibious vehicle and trapping the crew at the bottom of the sea. Of course, there is only one man for the rescue job (Statham), who plays an expert sea-rescue diver-Jonas Taylor, saving the day from the monstrous creature, who’s only role is to kill everyone in sight. Taylor though has his own history with this creature but he has to let his own fears of risking his life go, in order to save everyone from the floor of the ocean bed.

But get this- Statham actually had to spend a considerable amount of time with 20-30 huge Bull Sharks, in Fiji, just to get comfortable filming a movie with a shark and of course to prepare for the role as well.

“On the early stages of the prep, we took a trip to Fiji, and we went diving with some bull sharks. They hand-feed them and it’s a spectacular thing to see. These things are three meters in length, huge big things. There were 20 or 30 of these things, and they were hand-feeding (them) big tuna heads, and we got very, very close, and it was a spectacular moment. To swim in close proximity to a big, three-meter shark, is to be recommended to all and everyone.” – Jason Statham (as told to another publication).

‘The Meg’ is said to release in the first week of August in 2D and 3D, so be sure to catch this fantastic thriller. Who knows, maybe the movie is based on a true story, since these sharks were sighted again, a while back. But for now, we’re glad they stay in the realms of extinction and aren’t going to haunt us anytime soon…or are they?

The Dark Side Of Osho's Sexed-Up Cult Will Make Any Believer Rethink His Philosophy

Celebrities

Mar 242018

Every once in a while, we need the kind of visual entertainment that can shock us to the core and keep our eyes fixated on the screen throughout. It’s even better when it has elements of reality to spark our interest further and nothing beats a good dose of realism than a documentary with a gripping reality that forces you to look at the world with a completely fresh perspective.

‘Wild Wild Country’, the newest documentary on Netflix, is giving our visual senses a much needed kick of excitement it truly deserves with its intense storyline and a slight tinge of darkness. I must warn you though, this documentary is not for the faint hearted. So if you and bae have made plans to watch something super romantic, you might want to save this one for another day…perhaps a rainy day, where everything is dark, a bit horrific and gloomy, just like this film BUT in a good way! But if you’re evenly experimental in your relationships, this movie could also be a good ice-breaker. Conversationally, I mean. If your girl is interested in some heavy ‘sex cult’ and ‘bio-terrorism’ talks, then certainly watch this with her.

The documentary is the untangling of a violent and dark piece of history which was rightfully forgotten, till it sparked a debate again, a few years ago. The reign of the Osho or Bhagawan Shree Rajneesh in India was admirable to a few and debatable to the rest. Osho was mostly referred to as the trail-blazer of a sex cult, whose idea to bestow the concept of ‘free love’ upon his people was through mystic cultísh practices in a state-of-the-art resort in Pune and in other parts of the country as well. If you’ve ever followed the readings of Osho, the man did make a lot of sense, and apart from the fact that he is still referred to as the ‘sex guru’, his teachings go way beyond that, if you really delve into them.

But this documentary is not about his sojourn in India, with his followers. Before he set up his establishment in India, he was based out of North-Western United States, in Oregon and was often referred to as the ‘rich-mans Guru’. Osho, attempted to build a brand new empire there, and acquired a 64,000 acre ranch in the deserts of Oregon in Antelope, while preaching ‘free love’, intermittently, during the hardcore meditation sessions. The little county had a local population, that was not very pleased with the activities the cult propagated or the mannerism the cult supporters displayed. Soon the cult supporters in the town outnumbered Antelope’s local inhabitants and renamed the town as ‘Rajneeshpuram’, in honour of their leader. The borders of the land were constantly protected with armed guards who carried AK-47 with them.

The cult in #WildWildCountry look like their militia was styled by Wes Anderson.

— rebecca’s complete lack of surprise (@R_CartR) 17 March 2018

The cult obviously believed in having copious amounts of sex to achieve any and every sort of spiritual freedom, as they believed repressing sexual appetite was a dangerous practice. Rajneesh, aka, Osho almost always bragged about the amount of sex he’d had with a number of women, earning him the title of the ‘sex guru’ in the media. Reports also indicated that he had about 90, top quality Rolls Royce cars, all bought by the money that was ‘donated’ by his rich followers.

Obviously the local residents were not very happy with the ongoing cult practices and the deliberate discrepancies that were displayed inside his ashram, which fell into the realms of the ‘unknown’. Most locals could hear moaning and sex sounds from the ranch and were obviously not very happy with the lusty antics going on there.

The six-part series talks about the dissemination of one of the biggest cult practices in the world and how the cult tried to take over the entire county of Antelope, while terrorising it’s local residents. Well, I am not going to give away the real juice here, but you have to know this-you don’t have to be a scientist to propagate acts of bio-terrorism! Well, it was evident Rajneesh and his cult wanted to create an entire city, but do you know what stopped them? Well. You have to watch this masterpiece to really know how it all ended.

My god! #WildWildCountry on @netflix is one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. It is an amazing story about a religious group (labeled a Cult) moving from India to a small town in USA thinking that the constitution would protect their rights. Boy were they wrong! #Riveting

— James McDougall (@ActorJamesMcD) 19 March 2018

#WildWildCountry is amazing, lives up to the hype. Makes you empathize with both sides, sometimes simultaneously.

— Jonathon Norcross (@JonNorcross) 17 March 2018

I’m only 12 minutes into #WildWildCountry and I’ve already said ‘holy shit’ twice

— Meg Moo (@CuriousClock) 17 March 2018

I wonder if the Rajneesh documentary on Netflix will finally make people stop sharing “inspirational quotes” from cult leader Osho on social media #WildWildCountry

— Joanna (@napkinpoem) 16 March 2018

As far as I know viewers are raving about the documentary all over social media and it has a 100% from Rotten Tomatoes too. But I must warn you; this series really doesn’t give us all the answers and leaves most things to our perception to judge the good from the evil!

So, if you’re doing nothing this weekend, give this one a watch. Click here for the trailer.

10 Bollywood Celebrities Trained In Martial Arts Who Can Kick-Butt With Their Eyes Closed

Celebrities

Mar 132018

A lot of Bollywood celebrities are getting fitter by the day and some of them even take the initiative to perform their own action stunts in front of the camera. Bollywood is no longer just about glitz and glamour anymore and most actors and actresses in Bollywood possess some serious ass-kicking skills! By that, we mean most celebrities are learning or have learned martial arts and are not afraid to show it off in front of the camera!

Here are ten celebrities from the hood, who have mastered the art of martial arts and are certainly very proud of it!

Akshay Kumar

We’ve seen the star in action since his ‘Khiladi’ days. The veteran action hero is trained in Muay Thai, a martial arts form from Thailand, while he was in Bangkok, before joining Bollywood. He also runs many martial arts academies all over the country and has opened a women’s only self-defence centre recently in Mumbai. Talk about imparting wisdom!

Aishwarya Rai

Ash learned karate for her blockbuster flick ‘Robot’, a movie she did with Rajnikanth a few years ago. Imagine the most beautiful woman in the world kicking some serious butt in her karate gear! She was taught by her teacher ‘karate’ Ramesh, who runs the Japan Shito-Ryu karate school in India.

Tiger Shroff

With a name and body like that, you would actually expect him to know some hardcore martial arts! Tiger has been practicing martial arts since he was 14-years-old! Trained in gymnastics, Taekwondo and Wushu, he usually choreographs most of his stunts in his movies. Seen ‘Heropanti’ yet?

Deepika Padukone

When she signed up for ‘Chandni Chowk To China’, Deepika received some serious Jiu-Jitsu training and trust us, it wasn’t a crash course. You know why? because she was trained by her co-star Akshay Kumar himself!

John Abraham

While taking up ‘Race 2’, John was asked to train in MMA (mixed martial arts) for a sequence of ‘cage fighting’ in the movie. Not that John needs much training, but because it was a specialized skill, he had to undergo it! We’re not complaining, really!

Genelia D’Souza

Almost-new mommy to another baby boy, Genelia has trained in one of the toughest forms of martial arts called ‘Kalaripayattu’, from Kerala. She went through some vigorous training for her film ‘Urumi’, where she was a sword-wielding warrior and looked hot AF!

Vidyut Jamwal

Another ace Kalaripayattu practitioner, Vidyut has been learning martial arts since the age of 4. He didn’t hone the skill for a particular movie but to enhance his own technique in one of the most prominent forms of martial arts in India.

Nargis Fakhri

Nargis is currently training in Muay Thai and we think it’s for an upcoming movie! We’re just glad to see another woman throwing some kicks and punches on screen!

Randeep Hooda

If we’re talking about good bod’s and fitter people, we can’t leave Mr. Hooda behind, can we? The actor is quite the sportsman and also co-owns the Super Fighter League (SFL) team- Haryana Sultans. The actor plans to train the Mumbai fire-fighters in MMA (mixed martial arts) and we can’t be more thrilled!

Priyanka Chopra

PeeCee had to go through some intense martial arts training for her film ‘Drona’, which released back in 2008. It certainly doesn’t mean she’s forgotten her skill and we’re sure she shows them off time and again in ‘Quantico’! The actress was trained in Gatka, a style of stick fighting developed by the Sikhs in Punjab.

So there we have it, ten fit and fine Bollywood celebs who are tough as a brick, along with their fine acting skills. We also have experienced actors like Shilpa Shetty, Ajay Devgn, Govida, Kamal Hasan and Kangna Ranaut who know some form of martial arts too. Well, they definitely serve as true inspiration and we couldn’t be more proud of them!

There's A New Conspiracy Theory About Keanu Reeves Being Immortal And We're Really Confused

Celebrities

Mar 092018

2018 has been pretty eventful so far. We have kids eating tad pods, people creating ruckus over a fictional movie and men getting turned on by a school girl winking! Here’s another bizarre piece of information to add to the list- a conspiracy theory that Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves is actually immortal! Yes, it sounds exactly the way you’ve read it and we’ll tell you how!

First off, we have Mr. Paul Mounet, a 19th century French actor, who had a striking resemblance to Keanu Reeves. The resemblance is so uncanny that you really feel as if Keanu owns a time travelling machine! Not only are the physical similarities striking, but the fact that Mounet was a prominent actor in Paris really confuses us about the sheer universal coincidence! We just think Keanu dresses up in 19th century French clothing every now and then and sits down patiently to get himself painted.

It’s not just the uncanny resemblance but we actually think Keanu Reeves hasn’t aged a bit since his absolute childhood hit ‘Bill And Ted’s Excellent Adventure’! Which makes us believe that he’s either immortal or needs to tell us which age-defining cream he is using! I am guessing Olay? While one may wonder the extent of cosmetic surgeries or Botox he may have used to give him the youthfulness we see but then again, it’s been 29 years since he first appeared on screen and we really can’t tell the difference between then and now! Which really presents the greatest dilemmas of all time: is Keanu Reeves really immortal?

It’s not just his face that’s ageless, it’s the way he’s been dressing over the years too! He’s never really mixed up his style or experimented with clothes, ever! You will always find him in a black blazer and a t shirt underneath it. Style statement or sheer laziness, who is to know!

Well, this isn’t a theory cooked up in a MensXP Monday morning meeting! We aren’t that jobless! A poll conducted by the Tylt found that 74% of the people around the world think he is immortal! Who are we to contest that anyway?

Whether or not Keanu Reeves is immortal remains to be seen but for now we really hope and wish he continues his acting career as flawlessly as his never-ageing skin!
