More than half of the world’s population brushes their teeth twice a day, and 2% of people admitted to never brushing their teeth.

We found 10 talented celebrities who shared their quirks when it comes to their own personal care.
The number of women having their first child at an older age is growing. For example, in 2013, in European countries, it was 28.8 years old, and in 2018, it was 29.

Few people are 100% satisfied with what they see in the mirror. Celebrities also have insecurities. Some of them are not embarrassed to admit it.

We all vividly remember the roles that brought fame to these wonderful actresses. Some of these stars ignited right in front of our eyes.

Some scenes portrayed in movies have become classics in their genre or are now symbols that fans can identify with.

Talent is a great thing. Otherwise, how do you explain the fact that good actors are able to play any role? Older actors can easily turn into school students, and young actors easily portray wise adults without viewers even noticing this.

The relationship between celebrities and their daughters can constantly be seen on social media. The similarity between many of them is undeniable, but there’s nothing better than the passage of time to make a proper comparison of how these stars looked in their youth.

For example, some details may indicate a special connection between the characters and even point to a specific ending. And others help us understand the characters better or even the creators themselves.
Just like history, Hollywood doesn’t like hypothetical situations. However, after learning certain facts, it can be difficult to stop yourself from that “what-if” kind of thinking. For instance, how would The Matrix look if Neo’s role was written for Sandra Bullock? Or what would Dumbledore be like if he was played by Ian McKellen? Believe it or not, these things had a pretty high chance of becoming a reality.
Modern women use a lot of different methods to stay young and fix the things they don’t like about themselves. Some of them decide to have cosmetic surgeries and others get beauty procedures.
