For Gladiator (2000), Joaquin Phoenix refused to work out while the rest of the crew trained hard. When Ridley Scott heard a producer call him “fat,” Phoenix argued saying, Commodus should look like a “little fat hamster” — powerful by status, not strength.

Joaquin Phoenix refused to work out for Gladiator (2000). While the cast pumped iron, he chose to remain soft. He wanted Commodus to look like a pampered royal whose power came entirely from status, not physical strength.

Napoleon turned out to be one of the more disappointing films of the decade. I expected so much from this film - including from Joaquin Phoenix, who finally reunited with Ridley Scott after Gladiator. But this movie didn’t come anywhere near its full potential for a few reasons.

WE LOVED THE NEW LOOK, PHUPHU 😍 PONDPHUWIN SOUL ODYSSEY #PondPhuwinConcertD2 #phuwintang 🐼: Which one do you like more? I wanna know, between this look and or this look, which one do you like more? To be honest, I was really excited today, because I’ve been planning to change my look for a while, but I still hadn’t had the chance to do it. I felt like, ah, on the second day of the concert, if I cut my hair, it’d be a good thing too. But I’ve never cut my hair this short before in my life. It looks good, right? I feel like I look much younger. Actually, most ppl usually think I’m around 25 or 26, but I’m actually only 23, so maybe I look a little older than my age. So now that I’ve cut my hair much shorter, maybe I look a little younger, just a little. But I’m glad you liked it.

Hasan reacts to the clip I posted last night of the iconic ice tub scene from the stream with JasonTheWeen and he admits that he thought he was fat at the time: "Bro, you guys don't understand. I was in peak, physical tiptop shape and in my mind I was like, 'I'm obese.' This was a huge deal for me. I thought I was morbidly obese here, like, this was a moment of great courage for me." He looked incredible imo.

Trump explains why he called Haley ‘Nimbra’: “It’s just a little takeoff on her name - wherever she may come from. I look at her name. I look at a lot of people. I do a lot of names for people. Some people say I’m very good at that.”

Paige opened up about how meeting a little girl became the turning point in her battle with addiction "I was in a store getting alcohol, and this little girl knew who I was. I looked horrible. I was really skinny, I smelled, I just looked like an addict. But she looked at me like I was Wonder Woman" "I thought my career was over at that point too, with all the tapes coming out and me being on drugs" "I wanted to be her role model. I wanted to be that person, and it gave me a big wake up call. I thought, 'What am I doing?'"
