It’s hard to imagine that the main characters of our favorite movies could be played by other actors. For example, Pretty Woman  might not have been so iconic without Richard Gere and Julia Roberts. Still, nobody knows for sure because the roles of Edward and Vivian were initially supposed to be played by Sylvester Stallone and Drew Barrymore. We at dmfmemes found out which famous on-screen couples could’ve looked absolutely different if movie studios and directors had approved of other actors.

Though initially the plan was to invite other actors for the roles of Emmeline and Richard. But almost all of them turned the offer down because most of the screen time they were supposed to be half-naked. Some of those w...

The connection between sex scandals and politics has been there for ages now. There have been several cases of politicians being involved in sex scandals across the world. Let’s look at some of the most sensational ones. 1. AAP minister Sandeep Kumar was  sacked  after a CD allegedly showing him in “a compromising position with a woman” was delivered to CM Arvind Kejriwal. The incident happened in 2016. The woman seen with Sandeep Kumar in the video also filed a complaint saying Kumar raped her on the pretext of helping her get a ration card.

The incident came to light recently on 2nd March 2021 after video clips showing Ramesh Jarkiholi getting intimate with an unidentified woman, were widely aired by Kannada news channels. It has been  alleged  that Jarkiholi sought sexual favours from a woman in lieu of a governme...

While sitting, relaxed, at the dining table might be very comfortable, it isn’t necessarily the best thing for your health. We spend a lot of our time sitting at work, and we return home whilst sitting in the car or on a public transport only to find ourselves sitting yet again to have dinner. But most Japanese families have their meals while sitting on the floor, and you most likely won’t find chairs, even in 5-star  restaurants  in Japan. We at dmfmemes  were surprised to find out that people in Japan eat while sitting on the floor, and it’s not just because Japanese homes are typically very small. In fact, this habit has so many health benefits you might want to give it a try. 1. It helps digestion. When you sit on the floor with your legs crossed and eat, you are effortlessly doing yoga at the same time. This cross-legged position is called “ easy ” pose, or sukhasana, and it’s believed to increase blood flow to the stomach, helping you to digest food easily and to get the most  vi...

The history of cinematography contains many movies dedicated not to some abstract time period but to certain historical epochs. Such flicks challenge their creators because it’s expected that they will be historically accurate, especially when it comes to costumes. If characters’ outfits end up having any small mistakes on them, viewers won’t be able to fully lose themselves in the atmosphere of the time, and they’ll likely leave negative feedback after watching the film. We at dmfmemes looked through movies where the costumes weren’t only spectacular but also historically accurate. Also, we wondered what the designers were guided by when they first created the costumes through sketches. Emma  (2020) © Emma. / Working Title Films The Oscar-winning costume designer, Alexandra Byrne, carefully  studied  archives, vintage patterns, and the fabrics of the Renaissance period to understand what colors, fabrics, and wardrobe items were popular in the 1800s. Many people mistakenly assume that...

We’re all used to hearing that our twenties are the best years of our lives, but maybe that’s not entirely true. Our forties are a very strong contender of being some of the best years of our lives, as they can be happier and even richer. We can find more time for hobbies and do things that we want without stressing about work as much as we used to.  we are here t o prove these claims to you and to hopefully make you a little extra optimistic about the big 40. We’ve also prepared a few bonus pictures that show how you can look your best in your forties. 1. You’re better with money. © Depositphotos.com Money can be the cause of a lot of stress and problems for people, but thankfully, at the age of 40 and older, that’s something you might worry less about. According to  data  from the Federal Reserve, the median net worth of adults between the ages of 45 and 54 is $130,000 and rising. What’s even more curious is that according to  data  from PayScale, women start to reach their peak earn...
