There was a point in time when Bridget Fonda was a distinguished face within the showbiz-sphere of Hollywood.

One needs only go back to the ’80s and ’90s to find a period when the actress was regularly being cast in big productions. The world, it seemed, was at her feet, and she had the potential to become a household name in the vein of her famous father, Peter Fonda, and his father, Henry Fonda, before him.

Having made her breakthrough in the 21 Jump Street TV series (1989), she went on to appear in a handful of films before featuring in The Godfather Part III. Fonda would later land roles in such hits as Point Of No Return (1993), Jackie Brown (1997), and Lake Placid (1999).

Yet her burgeoning career abruptly came to a grinding halt in 2002 when the actress, then in her 30s, decided to take a step back from the limelight and leave the glitz and glam of Hollywood behind.

John Legend is perhaps one of the best singers of his generation. The crooner has millions of fans around the world. But his biggest fans might actually be living under the same roof as him.

Keep reading to learn more about the singer’s domestic life and how embarrassed he feels at times because of his kids!

The singer is a father of three children with his wife Chrissy Teigen. His oldest is his daughter Luna born in 2016 and his son Miles was born in 2018. The couple welcomed their third child Esti just a few months ago. Esti’s birth came after the couple lost their last pregnancy which was a very heartbreaking moment in their lives that they shared publicly.

Legend shared how his children request their father’s music to be played in the morning when he drops them off to school. The singer said, “They do, especially my son. He knows all my songs and he’s like Rain Man with the lengths of the songs. He remembers how long each song is and he’s like, ‘Actually ‘Green Light’ is a little longer than this one, it’s 3:19.”

There’s always undeniable beauty to be found in the world around us. An unquestionable part of the allure is the sheer variety of plants and flowers to be found, the rock formations, the vibrant colors, the rich smells and unusual sights.

If you like to travel, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. One of the most enthralling things about visiting a foreign country is the opportunity to experience nature in a way you never have before.

 

Now, I’ve never been to Brazil, but when I came across a picture of the jabuticabeira plant, I’ll admit to being lost for words of a moment. Want to know more? Then read on below…

 
 

If, like me, you’re unfamiliar with the jabuticabeira tree, which is native to Brazil, there’s every chance you’ll be equally taken back by its appearance.

 

If you ask me, there’s something very odd about the way the tree – also called the Brazilian Grape Tree – bears its fruit. The jabuticaba fruit, a purplish-black in color, grows directly on the trunk, and so it almost makes it look like the tree is being swarmed by some sort of alien insect.

But no, the fruit from the jabuticaba is not only edible, but also believed to carry a number of incredible health benefits.

 

Reportedly, the fruit has a positive impact on respiratory functions, and can remedy ailments such as diarrhea. It’s also said to open up bronchial airways, meaning it can help with conditions such as asthma.

Not only that, but the jabuticaba fruit is a rich source of antioxidants that can help the reduce the risk of chronic disease such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

Had you ever seen this wonderful looking fruit before? I had no idea what it was…
