4. Sylvester Stallone is one of the most macho actors in history. For Rocky IV , he wanted to try something new. He told Dolph Lundgren to actually punch him as hard as he could. Lundgren, being the physical freak he is, actually damaged Stallone’s heart so much that he was in intensive care for eight straight days.

3. Joseph Gordon-Levitt had a run in with a New York City taxi while filming the bike messenger movie Premium Rush . He slammed into the taxi at high-speed and needed 31 stitches from the incident!

2. Bob Denver plays the classic goofy character Gilligan from “Gilligan’s Island”. The comedian was filming a scene for an episode that involved sprinting into Mr. and Mrs. Howell’s hut to get away from a fierce lion. Unfortunately for him, the lion was already inside the hut! Bob has said that it tried to attack him but luckily the trainer was able to tackle it midair.

1. Matthew Fox had a literal run in with a knife while filming for the T.V. show “Lost”. Fox was filming a scene in which he is stabbed with a knife, the only problem is that it wasn’t a collapsible knife as it should have been. Luckily, Fox was wearing a protective vest as mandated by the shows stunt coordinator.

10. During the filming of Django Unchained , Leonardo DiCaprio was filming a scene where he slams his hand on a glass table. Apparently Leo slammed just a little to hard and put his hand completely through the glass! He required medical attention to stop the bleeding, but not before he finished the scene. What a guy!

9. Like Jackie Chan, Sylvester Stallone is known for doing his own stunts, even now that he is pushing 70. So back when he was filming Rambo: First Blood as a young man, his passion for stunts was even greater. He decided that he was going to perform a jump from a cliff to a tree, without safety gear. He did three takes before he was satisfied, but cracked his ribs terribly in the process.

8. To play a convincing Walter White, Bryan Cranston learned how to make meth by the DEA.

8. Gary Oldman has played a lot of roles where he played an American. So many in fact, that he had to see a speech therapist to get his British accent back.

7. Tom Hanks wanted his role on
Castaway to be so realistic. At one point during filming, they had to stop so he could lose 50 pounds and grow his hair and beard out.

6. Christian Bale does not mess around when he is cast for a role. He lived on an apple a day to prepare for his role in
The Machinist and then put on 100 pounds of muscle to play Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins.

5. Brad Pitt has his smile ruined in order to play the role of Tyler in Fight Club . He had his two front teeth professionally chipped, then repaired them once they were done filming.

4. Clint Eastwood takes acting seriously. After he bought the rights for
Unforgiven , he waited 15 years before making the movie. He wanted to be old enough to convincingly play the lead role of William Munny.

3. In the movie, The Birds, Tippi Hedren had live birds thrown on her in order to be prepared.

2. Jim Carrey took his role as Andy Kaufman so seriously that he continued an ongoing feud with Jerry Lawler and even spit in his face.

When most actors and actresses are cast for a role, they tend to do some preparation for the part. You will hear stories about how an actor read books or watched different movies to get a better feel for the part they are playing. But sometimes, some actors will take their new character to a whole new level.

They are intrigued with playing the part and will do just about anything to achieve the characteristics of the person they are playing.Wait until you see how some of these actors prepared for their movie roles.

1. Adrian Brody gave up his apartment and car, and moved to Europe with just two bags to prepare for his role in The Pianist.

Live everyday like it's your last, because it might be true.

I have learnt never to sweat the small stuff,
To stop worrying and start living.
Because, no one knows when the adventure will come to an end.

RIP.

Yet whatsapp is free, how do they even generate revenue

Good question brother.

WhatsApp stopped making money directly from users after it was made totally free.
Right now, they don't make a dime directly from users, but indirectly? Yes they do. The rationale behind Facebook acquiring Whatsap was for Facebook to access users behavioral data and personal information.

With location sharing data, unlimited access to users entire contact list and over 42 billion messages sent per day, Facebook has access to huge users personal information, all uploaded and saved on its server.

How then does this translate to money, you may ask? Read "Data Mining"

These information garnered from users in WhatsApp, are used to improve consumer targeting in Facebook ads. This is why you see adverts on Facebook related to your likes, hobbies and interests. These ads are paid for and that is where the dough comes in.

So they mine your information in database, sell them to companies who offer services, and this enables the App place targeted ads which will in turn, improve the companies brand popularity and sales.

NB: Mark Zuckerberg has previously promised that this data won’t be used to improve consumer targeting in Facebook ads, but it will be, unless the Whatsap user changes the settings to not share information with Facebook.

There are other ways Whatsap makes money though, like sponsorship deals, donations, direct investments, and buying of shares.

PS, This question you just asked is a very intelligent one. Believe me, so many people do not have answers to that question. Most will say your Mb goes to WhatsApp account and that is laughable.

The information you see above is gotten from multiple Google searches, I just edited and compiled using my own words for better understanding. Just like most didactic and intelligent posts you see here on Nairaland. These days, what makes you more informed is your dexterity in using Google.

It doesn't make me more knowledgeable than you are. I just had the stronger zeal to learn. Adroit use of Google makes people seem or act more knowledgeable than you are. But actually, they are not.

Google saves life bro. Learn to use it.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

You should have received the requested link by now in your inbox. Please note that you're not expected or required to pay for this opportunity. It is uncovered free. If anyone should ask you to pay a dime before you can make money online, I don't know about that.

I feel for those who still remain ignorant in spite of this exposure and it's a pity that some of those who have joined the program already did not write the ten sample posts up to standard and, thus, could not get approved for posting. So. when you receive the free guide, read over and over again, ensuring that you follow it sheepishly.

So the US is blaming her?

Don't mind the sycophant.

Jaculze:
How do I close those background running apps please?

Click on Settings>>Data Usage>>

You will see list of apps and there data usage statistics. So you choose which app to restrict.

Click on the App, then click 'Restrict Background Data'

Jaculze:
That 7gb data won't last. Airtel de suck data like say dem swear for them. Did a subscription of 5gb on my tecno camon cx yet e no last for for a month on just surfing ooo and little downloads

Check your data usage statistics bro. It's most likely there is something else gulping your data not Airtel.

Most Android users complain about there data not being sufficient as expected, and they blame the network providers in most cases.

But 90% of the time, the problem is from the users app mismanagement. Check your data usage statistics, manage your apps properly, restrict background data on data gulping apps and you are good.

imam07:
U said what am just thinking. Do people think this government like to do what favours the masses. Be expecting data increment very soon. Ncc should ignore the data price compitition among the gsm companies. They only need to compel them to improve on their services, especially,this issue of poor network people are experiencing everywhere now.

Olodo. Wetin concern FG with NCC policies and regulations. NCC is an independent body bro.
This parastatal is not the responsibility of the office of the presidency. Because I know it's Buhari's presidency you want to drag into this.

Every information you come across, every news you read, you people must find a way to involve the Fg.
