One Saturday, a thirteen-year-old boy named Tim was hanging out with his friends at a local cafe. Tim and his friends would usually spend the entire weekend together, before meeting again the following week while in school.

That day, Tim’s mom Gloria wanted to change up his routine by inviting him to watch a new superhero movie with her. While it wasn’t her interest, she wanted to spend more time with her son and knew that he loved watching superhero movies.

Gloria kept calling Tim on his cellphone, but he wouldn’t pick up. So, she decided to make her way to the cafe, knowing that this was where Tim and his friends usually had lunch on Saturdays.

When she spotted Tim and his friends, she made her way to them, only to see Tim’s friends giggling. “Your grandmother’s come to pick you up, Tim!” they teased.

Tim glared at his mother and walked up to her to stop her from going any closer. “What are you doing here?”! he scolded her. “You’re embarrassing me in front of my friends!”

“Why am I embarrassing you, son?” Gloria asked. “I wanted to ask if you wanted to watch a movie with me. I want to be with you more, son, while I still can,” she smiled, trying to hold his hand.

Tim shrugged off her hand and refused to leave his friends. “Leave me alone, I’m with my friends,” he told her. “Please leave before more people notice you!”

Gloria walked back home sadly, wondering why Tim refused to be near her, especially around his friends. She spent the entire afternoon cooking up Tim’s favorite spaghetti and meatballs recipe, hoping he would make it home in time for dinner.

When he got home that night, it was already half past ten. Tim went straight to his room, not even acknowledging Gloria’s presence in the living room.

She followed him to his room and knocked on the door. “I waited for you,” she told him. “I made your favorite spaghetti and meatballs. Do you want some?” she asked him.

Tim shot her another look, the same one he gave her at the cafe. “I obviously don’t. I would have gone straight to the kitchen if I wanted to eat,” he told her. “Leave me alone, I’m tired.”

“What’s the matter, Tim?” Gloria decided to ask him. “Why is it that you don’t like being with me anymore? We used to be inseparable!”

“Please,” Tim begged again. “Leave me alone! You won’t like what happens next!” he threatened.

“What is it?” Gloria asked. “I’m worried about you, Tim. I barely know what’s going on in your life!” she said, trying to walk closer to him.

“You’re such an old, boring woman! Everyone thinks you’re my grandmother. Why did you even give birth to me?!” he said, irritated that Gloria kept pestering him.

Gloria felt a pain in her chest after hearing Tim yell at her that way. Before she could respond, Tim grabbed his backpack and ran out the door.

“Tim!” Gloria called out. “Where are you going?” she said, following him down the stairs, and out the front door.

Tim rode on his bike and left the street. Gloria tried calling out and chasing after him, but he was too fast. Then, she fainted in front of one of her neighbor’s houses.

When Tim gets home late that night, he sees a neighbor standing in front of their front door. “Where have you been, Timothy!” she yelled.

“Your mom wanted so badly not to tell you. But I think you deserve to know the truth, especially after what you’ve been putting her through,” his neighbor told him.

“Why do you care? Did my old mother ask you to wait up for me because she couldn’t wait to sleep?” he asked.

“You are so ungrateful!” the woman said, grabbing Tim by the collar. “You gave your mother a heart attack!”

“I didn’t ask her to give birth to me! Why did she force herself to have a child, now she’s upset that I’m not the son she wants me to be?” Tim said coldly.

His neighbor scoffed. “Give birth to you?” she said, pulling Tim to her home. “You want the truth? I’ll give you the truth so you stop talking rudely about your mother who has given you EVERYTHING!”

When they got there, she handed him a folder with documents regarding Tim’s adoption and treatment. “Your mom wanted so badly not to tell you. But I think you deserve to know the truth, especially after what you’ve been putting her through,” his neighbor told him.

Tim read through the papers and saw his adoption papers as well as the diagnosis of his cardiac disease. Gloria had put out a loan on her house to pay for his surgery and nursed him to life.

“Now do you have even an ounce of pity or gratitude for your poor mother?” his neighbor asked. “She’s done everything for you, and you’ve been absolutely horrible to her.”

Tim could feel the tears streaming down his face. He felt awful for how he had been treating his mother, realizing that she always had his best interest at heart.

He took his bike and rushed to the hospital where his mother was in. In tears, he asks the nurse to take him to the intensive care unit where his mom was recuperating.

Tim was heartbroken to see his mom with so many wires attached to her body. He rushed to her side, holding her hand. “I’m so sorry, mom,” he started to say. “I’ve been the worst son. Please, please get better. I promise we will spend a lot more time together,” he begged.

These transformations have sparked a mix of awe, support, and curiosity among fans and onlookers alike. Here are the public figures who have shared their incredible weight loss journeys and now look better than ever.

Kelly Clarkson: Overcoming Criticism with Confidence

Kelly Clarkson’s weight loss reveal in 2023 was nothing short of a sensation among her followers. Her appearance on “Fallon Tonight,” highlighted by an Instagram clip, showed a visibly slimmer Clarkson, astounding fans and followers.

The Grammy Award winner posted a picture of herself on Instagram, wearing an all-black attire which featured trousers and a semi-transparent lace blouse showing her slim physique.

The positive reactions to Clarkson’s transformation were overwhelming, with comments ranging from supportive praises like, “Revenge Body! She looks great!” one Instagram user commented. Someone else concurred, “Looking good. You look 10 years younger.”

One person exclaimed, “Guuuurl look at all that weight you’ve lost!!! So proud of you!!!!!!” Another online user wrote, “You look gorgeous! Congratulations on your weight loss journey!” “You look amazing!” said one other individual. One fan said, “Wow, you really lost a lot of weight! How did you do it?” While someone stated, “Amazing transformation. Kelly looks great.”

Despite previous criticisms, Clarkson has consistently maintained a strong, unaffected demeanor. In a 2017 interview, she expressed how such negativity rarely impacted her, attributing her resilience to her upbringing.

“It doesn’t really affect me… I come from a small town where everybody always has something to say about what you love, pray, and eat,” Clarkson remarked. Moreover, the television personality has chosen to remain unfazed by the critics concerning her appearance. This is thanks to her being playful and confident.

Still, Clarkson lamented that naysayers should refrain from commenting about a person’s appearance regardless of whether they get bothered by the snide remarks or not.

That said, a health wake-up call partly spurred the singer’s transformation. She shared on her talk show “The Kelly Clarkson Show” in January 2024 while having Kevin James as a guest, that she was diagnosed as being pre-diabetic and overweight.

Her journey was marked by adopting more active habits. “Walking in the city is quite the workout,” Clarkson stated in a January 2024 interview. A healthier diet, is also credited for her remarkable weight loss.

“I eat a healthy mix. I dropped weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor — a couple years I didn’t. And 90 percent of the time I’m really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway,” the songwriter admitted.

Yet, curiosity and speculation about how she achieved her look persisted, with Clarkson facing assumptions about medication use. “For all of us fighting weight, please share with us the truth of how you lost yours,” one Instagram user commented.

Another said, “Looks like you’ve been hitting the ozempic.” “Ozempic to the rescue!!!” one other person exclaimed. However, Clarkson has since rubbished the claims of using a drug to lose weight.

Melissa McCarthy: Embracing Every Size with Grace

Following Clarkson, Melissa McCarthy’s story is one of resilience and self-acceptance. Long subjected to unsolicited opinions about her weight, McCarthy has approached criticism with incredible poise, expressing pity for those who choose to spread negativity.

“I’ve been every size in the world. Parts of my twenties, I was in great shape, but I didn’t appreciate it. […] Now I feel like I have two great kids and the dreamiest husband on the planet, and everything else is just a work in progress,” she shared, highlighting her priorities and inner strength.

Recently, McCarthy stunned her Instagram followers by sharing photos of her slimmed-down figure. Fans flooded the comments section to compliment her new transformed look.

“Wow. You’re absolutely stunning. Three words. Fab. U. Lous.,” wrote one person. Another exclaimed, “Wow!!!” While someone else stated, “Oh wow she looks amazing. Good job Melissa, you look stunning.”

McCarthy’s weight loss became evident to her followers in early 2024, showcasing a transformation that garnered acclaim and support from her fanbase. At the time, she shared a photo of her and her spouse posing together, in which she donned a shimmering jumpsuit, showing off her physique.

Followers were quick to praise her with one person writing, “Wow you have lost a lot of weight! You look amazing.” “You look incredible! Always beautiful no matter the shape or size. Always bringing the queen vibes,” commented one user. Someone else gushed, “Wow just wow you look fantastic, but then again I always thought no matter what weight you were, you always looked fantastic.”

McCarthy’s approach to dealing with body image has always been grounded in self-love, regardless of her size, showcasing a message that resonates with many. She wanted to shed the weight to be healthy and not necessarily settle for Hollywood beauty standards.

Keely Shaye Smith: A Public Transformation

Pierce Brosnan’s wife, Keely Shaye Smith, also made headlines with her dramatic weight loss. Previously criticized for her weight, Smith appeared alongside Brosnan at the Oscar Wilde Awards in March 2024, revealing a significantly slimmer figure.

The transformation prompted a flurry of supportive comments, marking a stark contrast to the negativity she had faced.“Keely looks fantastic. Congratulations on the weight loss,” commented a user. “How much weight Keely lost!” another chimed in. “Lost soo much weight,” a commenter agreed.

“They look awesome, especially his wife,” posted a user. “What a great Bond between them. Awesome,” another commenter remarked. “Looking gorgeous and healthy,” a user wrote. While other people gushed over Smith’s new appearance, one individual recalled how she was initially treated, asking, “Didn’t they make fun of her for being overweight?”

Most recently, Smith stepped out again attending her famous husband’s art exhibition titled “So Many Dreams” in Palm, Desert. She stole the spotlight with her new look as she posed beside her spouse at the event leaving social media users in awe of her body transformation.

“Keely looks amazing. You [two] are [a] really beautiful couple,” said one Instagram follower. “Your wife looks great,” one individual commented on Brosnan’s social media upload.

Meanwhile, Brosnan, ever supportive, has always prioritized their emotional bond over physical appearance. “[…] Watching someone grow up with you and grow old with you is a very spiritual journey. To watch each other change … whatever it may be, the hair, the waist. But it’s the love in the heart,” Brosnan reflected on their relationship, emphasizing the depth of their connection beyond physical changes.

Oprah Winfrey: A Journey of Self-Acceptance

Oprah Winfrey’s public struggle with weight has been a defining aspect of her career. Her weight has been highly discussed in the media including magazines and on her very own hit talk show, “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” that aired for 25 years.

“It was public sport to make fun of me for 25 years. I have been blamed and shamed, and I blamed and shamed myself.” Winfrey revealed in a December 2023 interview.

She even landed on acerbic fashion critics Mr. Blackwell’s list which left her gutted. “I was on the cover of some magazine and it said, ‘Dumpy, Frumpy and Downright Lumpy.’ I didn’t feel angry. I felt sad. I felt hurt. I swallowed the shame. I accepted that it was my fault,” Winfrey recounted.

Having faced her share of harsh criticism, the media mogul’s mentality concerning maintaining a healthy weight long-term has since shifted. Most importantly, she has rid herself of the constant shame she felt because of how she looked then.

In March 2024, she recalled starving herself for five months before bringing out the wagon of fat on her now-defunct talk show in 1988. During that period the famed host shed 67 pounds following a liquid diet and soon after, gained the weight back.

Following a knee injury in 2021, the philanthropist challenged herself by going hiking and setting distance goals weekly. “I could eventually hike three to five miles every day and a 10-mile straight-up hike on weekends. I felt stronger, more fit, and more alive than I’d felt in years,” she explained.

As for how she consumes her meals, Winfrey shared that she has her last dish at 4 p.m. and drinks a lot of water per day. The producer’s approach to weight loss has evolved into a holistic strategy, incorporating regular exercise, dietary changes, and medication.

“It’s everything,” Winfrey stated, addressing the multifaceted nature of her journey toward health. Her openness about adding weight-loss medication to her regimen marks a significant moment in her narrative, challenging the stigma around medical aids for weight management.

Winfrey’s story culminates in a powerful message of redemption and vitality, having climbed a mountain she once only dreamed of conquering. Her physical and mental transformation is a journey of profound personal growth and self-discovery.

Winfrey’s longtime significant other, Stedman Graham, gushed about her in a May 2019 interview, saying, “I was always attracted to who she was as a person. I’m so lucky and fortunate to be with her. It’s a blessing,” he said.

The Hollywood couple has been together for over three decades. Winfrey posted a picture of the pair in February 2016 on Facebook, showing the lovebirds warmly posing together and captioned it, “Stepping out with my Valentine of almost 30yrs!”

These celebrities, through their personal stories of transformation, challenge and change the narratives around body image, showcasing resilience, health, and self-acceptance. Their journeys highlight the importance of kindness, both from others and towards oneself, in the face of public scrutiny.

As photos of Jennifer Garner and John Miller circulated online, their appearance became the center of discussion. Garner looked effortlessly chic in blue jeans paired with a blue, yellow, and green striped sweater, and white sneakers. Meanwhile, Miller complemented her style. He wore matching denim jeans, a light-blue button-up shirt, and a denim jacket with a fur-like trim.

The couple’s coordinated denim outfits did not go unnoticed. Fans quickly took to social media their comments on their matching looks. “When is the wedding?” one user asked. Another fan noted, “They look like a match,” underscoring their coordinated attire.

Moreover, Miller’s appearance garnered particular attention. Some compared him to Garner’s ex, writing, “1000x better looking than Ben.” Others expressed admiration, with remarks like, “He’s handsome” and “She’s darling [sic] girl….boyfriend’s very handsome.”

However, not all feedback was flattering. Some followers critiqued their style, suggesting, “Friend’s advice: You need a dressing coach.” Another questioned, “Why are they wearing clothes from 30 years ago?” Additionally, a fan commented, “I swear she dresses like a thrifty shopper…lol.”

Despite the mixed reviews on their fashion, their warmth and compatibility were clear. Whether dressed for comfort or style, it’s evident that they enjoy their time together.

Garner’s romantic life turned positive when she connected with Miller, a notable figure in the tech and restaurant sectors. He also serves as the chairman and CEO of Cali Group. Their relationship started in 2018 when Garner was finalizing her divorce from Ben Affleck. Although there seemed to be a brief separation in 2020, the couple rekindled their romance the following year.

Unlike the high-profile actors Garner has been linked to, Miller prefers a life away from the spotlight. According to a source, Garner and Miller cherish their privacy. However, this preference for privacy doesn’t mean they shy away from public affection.

In 2023, the two were spotted sharing a tender hug. The couple displayed significant public displays of affection, including a heartfelt hug during a coffee run in Los Angeles.

Garner was dressed casually in a white tank top and navy leggings. While she wrapped her arm around Miller’s neck., she pulled him in for a close hug. This affectionate interaction didn’t end with the hug. The couple continued to chat and laugh joyously by Miller’s car.

Garner has been open about her perspectives on marriage and family since her divorce. In a March 2021 interview, she discussed the possibility of remarriage.

“I don’t know that marriage would need to be a part … I mean I definitely don’t think that I’ll be single forever,” Garner stated. She emphasized that while she isn’t rushing into another marriage, she is also not averse to the idea of being in a committed relationship. “But this is not the time. I don’t need to complicate it. I’m good,” she added.

Through glimpses into their relationship, it’s evident that Garner and Miller share a special bond. They harmoniously blend their public and private lives.

Being parents has brought depth and a shared understanding to their relationship. Miller has two children with his ex-wife, violinist Caroline Campbell. On the other hand, Garner shares three children with Affleck: Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel.

Their lives today also reflect a harmonious blend of past and present relationships. The amicable dynamics between Miller and Affleck notably characterized this. The relationship between Garner’s partner and her ex-husband is notably amicable. This is an important aspect given their family connections.

This was highlighted during a casual encounter captured by paparazzi outside Garner’s California home. On this particular day, Miller and Garner returned home to find Affleck waiting outside. The meeting was friendly and cordial, with the boys exchanging handshakes and smiles.

This scene outside Garner’s home is a testament to the mature and respectful relationship the three have. It highlights how they prioritize their familial responsibilities and personal connections. In addition, they ensure a stable and supportive environment for their children.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have undoubtedly managed a successful blended family. Years after the divorce, they learned to establish a strong co-parenting relationship.

With the addition of Jennifer Lopez into the family, the dynamics have expanded but remained focused on the well-being of the children. Lopez, Affleck’s new wife, has actively embraced her role as a step-parent. She joins Garner and Affleck in creating a nurturing environment for the kids.

The trio was recently seen together at a school event in Los Angeles for Seraphina and Samuel’s musical performance. Lopez brought along her daughter, Emme, making the outing a full family affair.

This public appearance was significant as it demonstrated their united front and commitment to supporting their children’s activities as a single-family unit. Social media reactions to this blended family’s outings have been overwhelmingly positive. Comments praised the adults for their mature handling of the situation.

While some questioned the necessity of Lopez’s presence at family gatherings traditionally reserved for biological parents, it’s clear that her involvement is integral to the fluid family dynamics that Affleck and Garner strive to maintain. Lopez’s participation not only supports Affleck but also fosters a sense of unity and acceptance within the blended family.

Furthermore, there are reportedly no ill feelings between the three adults, which has allowed their children to form close bonds with one another. Both Garner and Lopez have shown mutual respect and understanding, which has facilitated a peaceful and cooperative co-parenting environment.

This actress followed in her parents’ footsteps at a young age, as she made her debut at five when she starred in Ken Russell’s sci-fi and horror film “Altered States.” However, her rise to fame came at the age of seven when she acted as Gertie in Steven Spielberg’s “E.T. the extra-terrestrial.”

As she thrived as a child in the entertainment industry, the actress’s life at home was a mess, her parents having divorced. “I didn’t have parents, I was the parent to them. It was all totally upside-down. So I didn’t know what I was doing. When people would talk to me about parenting, I felt like an outcast,” shared the movie star.

The actress faced struggles with substance abuse, labeling herself a “party girl” from a young age. At seven, she was adding Baileys to her ice cream. By eight, she was frequenting outings with her mother and friends up to five times a week. At 11, the actress had developed a drinking problem.

By the time she was 12, she had become a drug addict. A year later, the actress cut her wrists and was hospitalized. Unable to handle the lifestyle, her mother sent her to a psychiatric institution at 13 and visited her occasionally.

By this time, the actress had already been to rehab at 12 and relapsed at 13. At 14, after leaving the psychiatric institution, where her mom sent her because she couldn’t deal with her anymore, the movie star legally emancipated herself from her parents.

Still, she pointed out that her mother’s decision to place her in an institution was challenging but ultimately beneficial. Despite the darkness and duration of her stay, lasting a year and a half, she recognized the necessity of the discipline it instilled.

Given her unconventional upbringing, she felt it provided a crucial transformation she needed. The actress admitted, “It was the best thing that happened to me. It taught me boundaries. Until that point, I had none.”

Aside from her parents, this movie star had a godfather in Steven, who directed her in “E.T. the extra-terrestrial.” As a child, she had once asked her mother if the director could be her godfather and Steven accepted.

Despite his open-door policy, the actress hesitated to seek his counsel during tough times, preferring to handle challenges privately. After posing for Playboy at 19, Steven cautiously sent her a quilt with a note saying, “Cover up.” However, the actress wasn’t done living wild and making mistakes along the way.

Even after legally divorcing her parents, it still wasn’t easy for the actress to pick a sober and straightforward way to live. After leaving her parents’ care, she described the experience of living on her own at 14 as weird and challenging.

The film star had to navigate running an apartment at a young age, encountering issues like fungus growth and feeling unsafe in a dangerous neighborhood. The fear of sleeping alone was compounded by the presence of alley cats nearby, making her feel overwhelmed and terrified.

The actress’s circumstances kept taking a turn for the worse. At 15, she was facing unemployment as an actor and resorted to cleaning toilets by age 16. By her mid-20s, she had been married and divorced twice.

The movie star in this story, who dealt with insobriety, substance abuse, and cutthroat media vitriol, is Drew Barrymore. Her mom is Jaid Barrymore and her father is John Drew Barrymore. The actress’s dad is known for starring in productions such as “The Big Night,” “The Centurion,” and “Invasion 1700.”

Proud of her acting heritage, Drew boasts a lineage spanning seven generations, which includes her renowned grandfather, John Barrymore. Sadly, alcoholism, a prevalent family trait, tragically led to his demise in 1942.

Drew is now in her late forties, and unlike her grandfather, she has managed to turn her life around. In 2021, she took a trip down memory lane to see how far she has come. In this journey, she showcased her first apartment that she lived in when she was 14.

As much as the neighborhood is green and gated today, Drew said when she lived there it was risky and unclean. The house’s windows had bars on them for security reasons. The actress admitted that living there was scary but was glad that now, she is no longer afraid.

Now, Drew lives in a simple but gorgeous apartment that she has showcased on social media. In a cozy corner of her house sits a plush grey chair, where Drew lounges with her beloved dog by her side.

In another side of her house, Drew is seen seated on the floor, cuddling her cat, with a rug and woven carpet beneath them. She leans against the edge of a beige couch adorned with throw pillows, as she enjoys the warmth and comfort of her cozy living space.

The actress’s living room exudes warmth and charm, adorned with flowers gracing the windowsill and TV stand. Artistic paintings line up the walls, adding beauty to the room. A magnificent TV stand also takes center stage, proudly displaying the television atop it.

The house’s kitchen showed off on TikTok, is clean and crisp, with white cabinets sporting elegant brown countertops. A white cooker gleams in the corner while on one shelf, bottled ingredients are neatly arranged.

Meanwhile, a wall-mounted knife rack adds both functionality and style to the space. Amidst this organized space, Drew Barrymore is seen diligently cleaning and restocking drawers, ensuring everything is in its proper place.

In other TikTok clips, Drew can be seen showcasing her culinary skills in the kitchen, dancing while cooking eggs. Later, she dresses up and settles in with a freshly brewed drink to enjoy her meal.

In another video, the actress unveils a sleek new kitchen island. Drew meticulously arranges the kitchen island for a meal, setting out knives, forks, plates, and wine glasses.

She lighted candles for a cozy ambiance before settling down. Her tiered kitchen island, serving as a table, also features a convenient space to store utensils after cleaning up post-dinner.

A TikToker remarked, “I love how normal your kitchen is 🥰.” Another user joined in, saying, “A normal celebrity kitchen is refreshing to see. I have the exact same stove 😁.” “Your stove is so humble ❤️,” agreed a third commenter.

Others appreciated Drew’s relatability. “I love how real she is!” one fan exclaimed. Another chimed in, “This is not how I imagined her kitchen 🥰 that’s real life for us 😂🥰.” “A real used kitchen. I think Drew might be an original,” commented another fan.

In another TikTok video that went viral, Drew showed her cozy bedroom before and after she cleaned it. Before she cleaned up, the room was messy. The bed was strewn with sheets, left unmade.

Clothes were haphazardly tossed on a nearby chair, while books were scattered across the table and floor. Makeup, oils, and small boxes cluttered the floor, alongside more books strewn about. The bathroom dresser was adorned with small mirrors, lip balms, and makeup kits, all in disarray.

After Drew’s cleaning spree, the room transformed. The closet was neatly arranged, with everything in its place. The table was cleared, with just a few well-arranged books atop it.

There were no items scattered on the floor, and the carpet was clean and open. The bed was neatly made, and the bathroom dresser was immaculate, with newly arranged items neatly placed on top.

In yet another recent TikTok video, Drew proudly showcased her collection of tattoo balms, body creams, and oils, as she used them in her bathroom.

The actress’s bathroom exuded elegance and functionality with its spacious layout and fine white and black tiled floors. Framed pictures adorned the walls, adding a personal touch to the space. A sleek stand held an array of neatly arranged toiletries, ensuring easy access and organization.

Back in 2021, Drew posted a video of herself about to start Spring cleaning, which she revealed gave her a sense of control. She hoped the sense of control she got from cleaning would give her boundaries and safety.

The actress was in her room, sitting on the floor. She pulled her hair pulled back into a tidy bun, signaling her readiness to tackle the task at hand. Boxes filled with shoes and clothes littered the floor, awaiting organization.

Drew was excited to clean the main closet, which stood open, drawing her attention as she focused on clearing out clutter and bringing order to her space. Clean, organized, and orderly are the words that can describe Drew’s life today.

Today, Drew is a doting mother to her daughters, Olive and Frankie, despite never having role models to teach her how to parent well. She shares her kids with her third ex-husband, Will Kopelman. Drew was previously married to Jeremy Thomas and Tom Green before Will.

The “Bad Girls” film star remembered feeling a fear unlike any she had experienced before when she and Will parted ways. It surpassed even the anxiety she felt as a 14-year-old living independently.

With two beloved children to consider, her concern deepened, realizing her life now revolved around them as well. Nevertheless, the actress noted, “I am so glad that my kids won’t be having to live on their own at 14. And that’s as healing to the 14-year-old me as it can get.”

Drew also expressed that while she values love and humor, she recognizes the importance of assuming her role as a parent rather than trying to be her children’s friend. She admitted that she is not perfect and will make mistakes but she will always do her best in raising her daughters.

The actress juggles motherhood and her career, which is now thriving. In 2023, she won the award for Best Host at the MTV Movie & TV Awards. In 2022, Drew was awarded the Webby Special Achievement Award for her incredible work with “The Drew Barrymore Show.”

The actress has also been nominated for other prestigious awards such as the People’s Choice Awards, Primetime Emmy Awards, and Daytime Emmy Awards. Drew is a producer and director, credited for productions such as “Whip It,” “Santa Clarita Diet,” “Princess Power,” and “How to Be Single.”

Drew, who has changed her life completely for the better, has also not given up on love after her third divorce. She has dipped her toes in the dating world and revealed that she met the person she has been sort of dating for the last few years on “Raya,” a membership-only dating app.

As much as she is exploring the dating scene, Drew emphasized that her main focus remains on her daughters. Drawing from her own experiences growing up in an industry characterized by vanity, the actress hopes to leverage these lessons to become a better parent to her kids.

Once hailed as one of the most good-looking men in the world, this alluring French actor, 88, now lives a completely different life than he once did under Hollywood’s spotlight.

The “Flic Story” talent, who is aware of how “handsome” he is, lives reclusively in his home after tragically suffering a stroke in 2019. This occurred a few weeks after he received an honorary Palme d’Or in Cannes, France.

Sitting behind a grand stone wall that spans 1.4 miles (2.3km), his house boasts a sprawling estate called La Brûlerie. It is located 86.99 miles (140km) southeast of Paris, near the Douchy-Montcorbon village in the Loreit department of central France.

More than just his home, according to sources, this is where the silver screen legend desires to be buried, close to a chapel situated on the grounds of a cemetery he built. This cemetery is the resting place for over 30 of his beloved hounds.

Although his home base is in France, reports state that the recluse splits his time between his workspace in Paris, his apartment in Geneva, and his home in Douchy.

Aside from planning where his burial grounds will be, the French heartthrob has been dealing with a contentious familial issue. Three of his children find themselves at war with each other.

His two sons and daughter have had public disputes, thrown around accusations, and pursued legal actions, all based on their father and his assets. As a result of how public their squabbles have been, the actor’s children have garnered a lot of media attention.

So much so that their dad’s lawyer, Christophe Ayela, has attempted to foster a truce between them. “It has to stop and everyone needs to calm down. That’s enough now,” chastised Christophe.

Adding another layer of complexity to the familial tension is the fact that the “Purple Noon” actor, whose children confirm, is aware of their dispute, has made it abundantly clear that he has a favorite child.

“I have a daughter who is the love of my life, perhaps a little too much with regard to the others,” he previously confessed.

“To no other woman have I so often said I love you,” he professed in 2008. Based on these statements and other observations, eagle-eyed spectators suggest that perhaps the father’s strained relationship with his sons, who are also both actors, stems from him viewing them as rivals.

Like her doting dad, the actor’s daughter has also publicized the deep love she has for her father. She recently took to Instagram to post a loving tribute to him, which also gave fans an update on how the actor is doing currently.

Alongside a picture of her dad, she penned a heartfelt message written in French. The English translation of that caption reads, “Friday morning I took a picture of my dad. For me. A memory of our times. Having breakfast with him makes me feel endlessly grateful. Unique moment of sweetness.”

She then went on to describe his appearance, calling him “handsome,” and highlighting his “vivid” and “fighting” spirit. “My own immortal,” she wrote.

“I showed him the picture […] I asked him if I could share it with you, his audience that cares about him. So with his permission there it is. And to your worries he answers: ‘Don’t worry.’ ❤️ #love,” the actor’s daughter finished.

The iconic French casanova whom fans have been worried about and who has been living reclusively is none other than Alain Delon. In response to his daughter, Anouchka Delon’s Instagram post, Alain’s admirers took to the Instagram comment section to express their feelings.

“He is beautiful and lovely as always, please be [by] his side, he needs you more than anyone, I know you love your daddy, and care [about] him too much 😘😘😘,” gushed a fan. Similarly, fellow French actor, Gilles Marini, expressed, “Stay close. ❤️ Full of love. Nothing else matter. ❤️❤️.”

Although Anouchka and her brothers, Anthony and Alain-Fabien Delon have not been seeing eye-to-eye, one thing they agree on is making sure that their father’s wellbeing and finances are being taken care of.

Earlier this month, a French news outlet reported that Alain’s kids united in March to request that their dad be placed under a “reinforced curatorship.” This move comes after Alain had already been placed under judicial protection for “medical monitoring.”

As of April 4, the report states that their request was approved. This means that a “curator” will be appointed as the overseer of Alain’s finances and will essentially act on his behalf concerning issues to do with his assets and in some cases, his medical requirements.

Thus far, there has been no confirmation of who this curator will be. Whether it will be one of his kids or Hiromi Rollin, described by the news outlet as Alain’s “lady in waiting,” is unknown.

There is also the question of what will happen to Alain’s company, Alain Delon International Diffusion SA of which he is the President and Anouchka is the Vice President. Since the request for the curatorship has been granted, Alain will no longer be permitted to exercise decisions in that capacity.

Nonetheless, instead of fussing over the details, Alain is focused on his present and future. In an interview he did in 2021, he divulged his desire to make one last movie; a film he is certain could end up being his best work yet.

Closing off the interview, the “Borsalino” star disclosed, “in my life what I loved most was being Alain Delon, the actor Alain Delon.”

“Look at Rocco [And His Brothers], look at Purple Noon! The women were all obsessed with me. From when I was 18 till when I was 50,” Alain previously said of himself as an alluring actor.

During an outing with a friend to Saint-Germain-des-Prés in the ’50s is reportedly when Alain first noticed the effect he had on women. “I realised that everyone was looking at me. Women became my motivation. I owe them everything. They were the ones who inspired me to look better than anyone else,” stated Alain.

Alain made it his priority to “look better than anyone else” so much so that he took the title of the “most seductive man in cinema” at 25 years old and was even deemed to be the male version of Brigitte Bardot. The French icon is well-known as one of the biggest “It” girls in cinematic history.

She is recognized and revered for the iconic roles she has played in numerous silver-screen productions. Playboy, known for its features and displays of beautiful famous women, had given the French blonde beauty a top spot as one of the sexiest female stars of the 20th century.

Other media outlets even deem her as the number one “It” girl of all time. Concerning her alluring beauty, Brigitte is also typically known for her famous pouty lips, and regarding Playboy’s sexiest female star list, she came in at number four.

Her sultry confidence and sensual charisma also saw her be labeled as her home country’s most gazed-upon star. Apart from the success she garnered during her time as an actress and all-round entertainer, Brigitte has also built a reputation as an avid animal rights activist.

As far as her personal life is concerned, the beloved star, commonly referred to by her nickname BB, is a mother of one and has been married to her husband, Bernard d’Ormale, for 31 years. According to media outlets, the couple tied the knot in secret in August of 1992, with only a few friends joining them for their special day.

The two have remained blissfully married since then, and when they first wed, Brigitte’s friends told a news outlet that the “Contempt” star was happier than she had been in a while thanks to her sudden and secret marriage with Bernard.

Interestingly, before the two wed, Brigitte’s friends had expressed doubt that she would remarry after her last husband. Nonetheless, the two wed in a quaint little wooden church in Norway and lived together in Brigitte’s luxury 10-bedroom mansion in Saint-Tropez.

From the time they first met, Bernard has remained by Brigitte’s side, especially throughout her health scares. When French newspapers first reported that their beloved celebrity had allegedly overdosed on sedatives in 1992 while at home, Brigitte’s knight in shining armor quickly reassured the very worried public that she was ok.

He explained, “Brigitte was overcome with fatigue and took too much medication to go to sleep…she did not have her stomach pumped and was fine after a few hours.”

A spokesperson for the clinic where Brigitte was taken, further confirmed Bernard’s assertion that his wife was fine. However, years after her sedative scare, Brigitte faced another health battle.

Earlier this year, Bernard confirmed that Brigitte experienced difficulty breathing. Luckily, first responders quickly intervened, provided her oxygen, and stayed with her for a while to ensure she was okay.

Bernard explained that the cause of his wife’s respiratory problems was age and weather-related, citing an extreme heatwave circulating Europe at that time. Apparently, the air conditioning system in their La Madrague home was not functioning optimally.

Despite assuring the public of Brigitte’s wellbeing, a news outlet had alleged that she had stayed in the ICU. However, the “A Very Private Affair” talent set the record straight via a handwritten note: “I want to reassure everyone. I am doing very well. The press caused a scandal with an illness that happened to me…”

Born Demetria Guynes, she took the surname of her first husband, musician Freddy Moore. They married at the tender age of 18, two years after she dropped out of high school.

Before fame, Moore balanced modeling gigs with roles in low-budget films, working for a collection agency to make ends meet. Her breakthrough came in 1982 when she secured a role in the popular TV soap opera “General Hospital.”

Her trajectory into stardom continued with roles in “Blame It on Rio” and “No Small Affair.” In 1985, she cemented her status as a member of the Brat Pack with her performance in “St. Elmo’s Fire.”

Moore’s career soared with the blockbuster “Ghost” in 1990, where she starred alongside Patrick Swayze and Whoopi Goldberg. This led to more prominent roles in films like “A Few Good Men,” “Indecent Proposal,” and “Striptease,”

In addition to Moore’s acting career, she became a beauty icon. She famously pioneered the trend of nude maternity photoshoots with her 1991 Vanity Fair cover, shot by Annie Leibovitz. This bold portrayal of pregnancy challenged societal norms and inspired other celebrities like Britney Spears and Mariah Carey to celebrate their pregnant bodies similarly.

As Moore stepped into her sixth decade, she remained a fixture in Hollywood, celebrated for her age-defying beauty and poise. Her ability to stay at the forefront of the entertainment industry is admired by fans and peers alike.

Moore continues to captivate audiences with her age-defying beauty. An active presence on social media, she often shares glimpses of her professional endeavors and personal adventures.

Many of her posts draw admiration and amazement from fans and onlookers alike. Ranging from glamorous event appearances to casual outings, her shares receive several comments praising her youthful looks.

Among these comments is from a post of Moore’s appearance at a 2023 Brunello Cucinelli brand event. “How does Demi Look even better than she did 10 years ago. [sic] Gorgeous,” an onlooker exclaimed. Another occasion where Moore’s ageless charm was on full display was during an outdoor river trip, where she sported a black bikini.

Fans expressed astonishment with comments like, “Demi looks 20″ and “How do you look so good???? I swear you’re Benjamin Button.” Others simply stated, “Never ages” and playfully inquired, “Who’s the 25 years old girl on the first picture [sic]?”

Her stunning appearance in a sparkling silver dress at the CFDA Awards also left fans in awe. One admirer hoped to emulate her agelessness, writing, “I hope I age like you!”

However, despite the overwhelming praise, fans believe one particular detail betrays Moore’s real age. At a February event hosted by Carolina Herrera, where Moore dazzled in a plaid red, black, and white dress, certain onlookers pointed out that her knees seemed to show her age.

Comments such as “Face 48 legs 65” and “Her knees are old” highlighted this observation. Curiosity and concern were evident as another remarked, “Oh my why her [sic] knee is all wrinkled?” One person even suggested, “It is better to cover up old knees.”

Another onlooker elaborated on the inevitability of aging. The person stated, “It’s obvious, that she spends a lot of money on her face but there are still areas of our body where the age will [be] obvious.“

There were eight times when Moore’s knees caught the public’s attention. Some of them feature the actress in short skirts or dresses during special events, while others were photographed candidly

At another fashion event, Moore’s attire allowed her to showcase her style, but as she posed, her knees were again a topic of conversation among observers.

These photographs highlight how even a celebrated star like Moore isn’t immune to the natural aging process. Moore has openly discussed her struggles with body image, revealing in a 2010 interview with Elle magazine her intense fixation on her physical appearance.

At 47, while married to Ashton Kutcher, who was 32 at the time, Moore confessed that her obsession with her body had reached extreme levels. “I had an extreme obsession with my body. I made it a measure of my own value,” she explained.

She described how she tried to control and change her body multiple times, but these changes brought her only temporary satisfaction. “Does being thin resolve anything? No,” she remarked, noting that true contentment came only when she ceased trying to dominate her body.

Moore, a mother of three, also addressed rumors about undergoing extensive plastic surgery. It was widely speculated that she spent $300,000 on a total body transformation.

Clarifying these rumors, she revealed she had something done but not on her face. She expressed a wish for less public fascination with her appearance, whether the opinions were positive or negative. However, she might consider surgery in the future, frustrated by the constant speculation about how much she had already spent on cosmetic procedures.

In 2022, as she approached her 60th birthday, Moore spoke again about her self-perception and aging. She said, “Not being defined by a number and instead being defined by my experience.” She reflected on the freedom and liberation she felt, contrasting her vivacity with the resigned demeanor she recalled in her grandmother at the same age.

As she continued her acting career in Europe, Moore shared her thoughts on being called an icon. This was a term she found both flattering and surreal. Moore takes pride in being considered an icon, viewing it as a recognition of having made a significant, positive impact.

Despite the criticism, Moore continuously receives several positive feedback about her legs and overall appearance. Many fans express their admiration on social media, highlighting her enduring beauty and fitness.

Comments on her posts often include enthusiastic praises like, “Always looking so flawless” and “Stunning! and those toned legzzzz [sic].” Others focus specifically on her legs, saying, “Her legs look Amazing!” and “I wish I had her nice legs.” Even details such as her feet do not go unnoticed, with one fan remarking, “You and your awesome pretty feet.”

These supportive messages underscore that while public figures often face scrutiny, they also enjoy encouragement and admiration from many people. Ending on a positive note, it’s clear that Demi Moore not only has a supportive fan base but also a loving family circle that cherishes her just as she is.

Demi Moore, whose second husband is Bruce Willis, has a good relationship with the actor despite their divorce. Recently, she celebrated her ex-husband’s 69th birthday with a heartfelt tribute that highlighted their lasting friendship.

Posting on Instagram, Moore, 61, shared a warm message along with three meaningful photos. She wrote, “Happy birthday, BW! We love you and are so grateful for you ♥️.”

The first photo in Moore’s post showed a quiet moment between her and Willis. In the snap, she tenderly held his hand while he relaxed in a chair. The second photo captured Willis smiling joyously at his granddaughter Louetta. The last photo in the series was a throwback featuring Willis with their three daughters — Rumer, 35, Scout LaRue, 32, and Tallulah, 30.

Fans responded warmly to the post, praising the enduring connection between Moore and Willis. This public display of affection reflects a mature approach to handling personal relationships in Hollywood, where lasting friendships post-divorce are not always common.

Adding to the celebratory atmosphere, Rumer, their eldest daughter, also posted a tribute to her father on Instagram. Her post included a heartfelt caption and a series of photos that depict her relationship with him from childhood to adulthood, echoing the sentiments shared by her mother and reinforcing the close-knit nature of their family.
