If it’s slightly earlier he likes it chilled, with a couple of rocks in the glass. It’s probably no surprise whatsoever that Matthew McConaughey likes whiskey. The Texan actor has long had a reputation as a slightly rough-around-the-edges but lovable leading man, and his image cleanly fits in with him being a whiskey drinker. McConaughey’s a particular fan of Kentucky bourbon (with the state containing the bourbon capital of the world), and he marked this with a collaboration with Wild Turkey. In 2016, McConaughey was brought on as the brand’s creative director and worked with the Russell family, the driving force behind Wild Turkey, to develop Longbranch, his own spin on the liquor.

In 2018, he was the face of Heaven’s Door Spirits, a whiskey that he conceived with entrepreneur Marc Bushala. Apparently, Dylan was more interested in how the whiskey would feel to drink than its specific formulation or how it would taste. It’s also clear that he was approaching this newfound role as a whiskey creator from being a genuine fan, as opposed to just jumping on the bandwagon of celebs making liquors. I barely think about it alcohol’ he explained to The Telegraph, after a long route to getting sober after filming the Harry Potter franchise.

He told The Fix in 2017, “Within six months I became sober, and clean, and have been for the last 27 years.” A well-renowned British actress, Emma Thompson, drank constantly and every night during the COVID-19 lockdown in Scotland. Previously, Emilia Clarke, Emma’s co-actor in Last Christmas, revealed that they drank a lot together while filming. The actress received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2010 right in front of the Pig n’ Whistle pub and thus celebrated the occasion with a beer and a pig while posing for the Paparazzi and the media. There must be something in the rock star handbook that states that all of its biggest stars must love whiskey.
Eventually, though, he found his way back to the whisky-making traditions of his home country, and in making Red Bank whisky he fulfilled a longstanding dream. “My whole deal was that I wouldn’t go forward with it unless it was something I could be proud of, and as a Canadian brand, something Canada could be proud of, and I think that we’ve accomplished that.” British actor Tom Holland, known for playing Spider-Man, opened up earlier in the year about his sobriety.

The Dark Ages were rife with plague, fanaticism, and accusations that Jews secretly fed off the blood of children. He was the lead actor in 2018’s Aquaman and also has the lead role in its sequel that will soon be released this year. Ashton Kutcher recently came on The Today Show, where he discussed his plans to run the New York City Marathon to support his foundation. Carson Daly and Savannah Guthrie offered him a beer early morning to load him with carbs in preparation for the big run, and he accepted it. Guthrie joked saying, “People who win the marathon, they always chug beer.”.
In his older years, he’s embraced a slightly more sophisticated palette. He loves it so much that he’s managed to work it into the story of perhaps his most famous character to date. In a season 6 episode of “Parks and Recreation,” Offerman’s character Ron Swanson makes a visit to Lagavulin distillery, which was clearly prompted by the actor’s love of the drink.

Unpopular ideas and small disinformation campaigns often go unreported, either unseen or ignored by platforms and mainstream press. The longer an infectiously bad idea goes undetected and undebunked, the more likely it is to spread and develop social importance. This phenomenon has enabled the rapid growth of antivax communities, Covid-19 disinformation, and the prevalence of the adrenochrome harvesting theory.

They both challenged each other to down the whole cup, with Kutcher finishing before Guthrie. What else would you expect from a Mississippi-born and -raised writer? His books The Sound and the Fury and As I Lay Dying are still taught in high school English classrooms across the country, but his sound advice for writing seems to have been lost over time. Paper, tobacco, food and whiskey seem like a great way to cure anyone’s writer’s block. “I don’t drink,” she told Allure in September 2012, adding that she’s “never” done drugs either. It seems that at that moment, his love of whisky was set in stone — and he proceeded to fall further in love with Scottish single malts as the years went on.
Downey Jr. made headlines in the early 2000s due to his battle with addiction, after Celebrities Who Drink which he turned his life around.

In February 2019, Infowars featured a segment on adrenochrome, linking it to the Clinton Foundation via epipen manufacturers, and to the highly controversial “young blood” transfusion startup Ambrosia. A month later, adrenochrome “documentaries” began to emerge on YouTube, followed by many smaller copycat productions, helping form a searchable foundation for the current day conspiracy. The most effective conspiracy theories are built around kernels of truth.
A favorite topic of interconnected QAnon and Pizzagate conspiracy communities, so-called “adrenochrome harvesting” long predates these groups. Google Trends shows significant spikes in searches for adrenochrome in March and June of 2020. On Friday, July 31, conspiracy theorists plan to hold the first “Child Lives Matter” protest in Hollywood to “expose” child trafficking, advertising the event with references to #adrenochrome.
