Shakespeare

You want to explore new places, but sometimes all you get in return is fake publicity or wasted ticket money. Do you think tourist traps are worth seeing just for the sake of imagination? Make up your mind after hearing these 7 examples.

Some people, like the Andaman islanders — that’s a community living in the Gulf of Bengal — see them as burning torches thrown into the air by forest spirits. Others, like some Australian aborigines, think they’re flaming sticks ridden by shamans. If you ask an astronomer, though, they’ll tell you that a comet is a large object made of dust and ice that orbits the Sun. Arguably one of the most famous space objects of this kind is Halley’s Comet. It has left a great impact on our history and understanding of these mysterious “falling stars.” When this comet passed Earth in August 1835, for example, it was blamed for the New York City fire that kept going for several nights. At the same time, the Seminole Indians in Florida saw the comet’s long tail and believed it marked the day they would lose their independence.

Every actor has their own unique acting style, so the same character may look totally different when played by different actors. Thanks to their efforts, a legendary king, for example, may become a masculine macho-man or a fearful scoundrel. We found 12 historical figures who were played by different actors, and now we can’t decide whose interpretation was better.

As Shakespeare put it, all the world’s a stage, and we bet it’s easier to play on it if we have little cheat codes. We might do perfectly without them, yet those little things provide such a great relief that we don’t want to get back to the old way of doing things. These 14 people cracked life’s codes and kindly shared their excellent and practical tips.

It seems some celebrities have never been young because we all remember them at a more mature age. In fact, they have either started their career quite late or, for some reason, we don’t remember the start of their creative path.

The Harry Potter series has captured the hearts of generations of children and adults alike. For one, the series is full of strong and exciting female characters that have inspired girls to be brave and to love themselves. And the behind-the-scenes facts about the cast show us the magic that goes into making our favorite movies, and the ways that things could have been different but ended up just right. We at Bright Side also love the Harry Potter franchise, so we’re sharing these facts about some of the cast members that might surprise you.

Actors in Shakespeare’s day would cross-dress as women in order to play female roles. Nowadays, many actors dress as a different gender to challenge themselves, shake up stereotypes, and stretch the minds of their audience. Though it’s not easy to transform from the feminine to the masculine side or vice versa and nail the role convincingly, these 12 stars were brave enough to do both. In fact, some of them even wound up winning prestigious awards for their efforts.

The younger fans probably know her best for her stellar performance in Harry Potter. But her legendary career stretches a couple of decades prior. She began acting in theater and film in 1952 and since then, she has accomplished almost everything there is to accomplish in the industry. Well, despite her immense popularity and success, we are sure we can catch you by surprise with a few interesting facts about the beloved actress.Bright Side wants to show you 10 facts about Maggie Smith that are going to make even some long-time fans say “wow.”

Michael Bowler spent the majority of his life working with children in foster care and, at a very young age, was committed to the idea of adoption. His determination to adopt would soon come to fruition when he met Ronald, and this one decision would change his life forever.Here at Bright Side, we believe that love exceeds all boundaries and labels, and Michael’s story is a great example of how good deeds always come back in unexpected ways.

Losing the love of your life when you are just starting to be happy is something that marks you forever. It is often very difficult to recover from such a great loss, but Meryl Streep’s story gives us hope and proves that we have the strength to overcome any obstacle life throws at us, no matter how hard it may be.

The Oscar-winning actress seems to have it all: a brilliant career, adoring fans, and a loving marriage that has stood the test of time. Her relationship with her husband of 44 years has often been shown as an example of a healthy, long-lasting marriage, which can be hard to find, especially in the world of show business. But things haven’t always been so easy for this Hollywood legend. Within only 6 months, Meryl Streep lost one great love of her life and met her future husband.

People often have very opposite opinions about actors in book adaptations. Some don’t like it when the movie character looks different from the book description, and others, thanks to talented actors and actresses decide to read the book. Today, almost all popular novels have 2 or more movie adaptations, so we can compare several “versions” of the same character.
