Jordan then recalled the early days of his career.

“One of the last times we spoke, you said we were forever linked, and now the truth of that means more to me than ever. Since nearly the beginning of my career, starting with ‘All My Children’ when I was 16 years old you paved the way for me. You showed me how to be better, honour purpose, and create legacy. And whether you’ve known it or not…I’ve been watching, learning and constantly motivated by your greatness.”

He continued, “Everything you’ve given the world … the legends and heroes that you’ve shown us we are … will live on forever. But the thing that hurts the most is that I now understand how much of a legend and hero YOU are. Through it all, you never lost sight of what you loved most. You cared about your family, your friends, your craft, your spirit. You cared about the kids, the community, our culture and humanity. You cared about me. You are my big brother, but I never fully got a chance to tell you, or to truly give you your flowers while you were here.”

Aussie actor Lincoln Lewis reflects on the mind and body transformation that saved his life: 'I wasn't in a good way'

One year ago to this day, Aussie actor Lincoln Lewis bravely opened up about his mental health.

The 32-year-old revealed he was battling depression, speaking candidly to Men's Health magazine about his private struggles.

Now, 12 months later, Lewis reflects on his personal health and wellness journey and how he managed to push through when everything around him crumbled. 

Lincoln Lewis attends the 2019 AACTA Awards Presented by Foxtel | Industry Luncheon at The Star on December 02, 2019 in Sydney, Australia.

"Last year, I was at that low point where my cup was empty or beyond empty. I just wasn't in a good way," he recalls to 9Honey Celebrity, while discussing his health ahead of Australian Organic Awareness Month (AOAM) this September. "I was eating s--t, physically my motivation was down, and work wasn't going well. 

"I describe them as pillars. Think of those pillars that hold you up in life, and those pillars are the things that you hold dearest. They've all got a cable attached to them and they're holding you up and you sway. If one of those pillars crumbles, the other pillars are going to maintain that slack. But when all the pillars crumble at the same time, you can tread water for so long before you get tired."

Here, the Underbelly and House Husbands star talks to 9Honey Celebrity about his upcoming projects, the benefits of going organic, and the phone call that saved his life.

Call For Help

Lewis first turned heads with his Men's Health cover last year, where he went shirtless and unveiled his fitness transformation — having lost 12kg.

However, it was the accompanying interview about his struggle with depression that captivated many. 

Looking back, the actor says it was extremely difficult opening up after hiding behind a character on TV or film for so long. But there was no hiding on the cover of a magazine.

"Opening up on a public platform can be a bit of a scary thought — I guess opening up in general can be scary. But especially on a public platform where everyone's going to hear your story," he says. "For the most part, I'm always in character. And so when you have to be yourself and be completely vulnerable, it can be a bit of a daunting process."

Lewis was approached by his friend and Men's Health Scott Henderson, who asked the actor if he wanted to embark on a health and wellness journey — with the help of Sydney-based personal trainer Jono Castano — for three months.

The results would then be unveiled in the pages of the magazine. As apprehensive as he was, Lewis knew it was an opportunity he needed to take.

Scott Henderson, Lincoln Lewis, Jono Castano, Men's Health, magazine shoot

Just before Henderson reached out, Lewis remembered calling his childhood best friend as the star's depression was getting the better of him and he "was just done".

"It was a weird thing. I only told my best mate last year when I called him up to say Merry Christmas and stuff. And I said to him I don't really want to speak hypotheticals or whatever, but I said there was just one day where I woke up and was just done.

"I said to him, 'Mate, I don't care what we have to talk about. Just please talk to me.' And he just started talking. I think that's a very important thing to have those people around," he says. "The reason you have people in your life is not to just celebrate the good times — that's not friendship. Friendship means you're celebrating the highest of highs, but you're also there for the lowest of lows."

Career Highs and Lows

Lewis became a household name after his stint on Home and Away. When he left the Aussie soap in 2010, he starred in a host of shows such as Underbelly, House Husbands and Gallipoli, as well as the films Tomorrow, When the War Began, 33 Postcards and Spin Out

The actor continued on the audition circuit over the years but it was challenging as he secretly battled depression. It wasn't until he underwent his mind and body transformation that he finally felt satisfied with his efforts.

"The acting world is a very up and down thing, and jobs can be very few and far between," he shares with 9Honey Celebrity. "Honestly, my auditions were s--t. I thought I was giving it my all, and I was, but I just wasn't at my best. When I was doing the transformation in Sydney last year, I was getting a fair few additions and I had times where my agent and casting directors I had known over the years were calling me up and saying, 'This is the best audition I've seen you do in years.'

"Everything about my life started to really flourish when I left myself raw, so that I could build myself from the ground up. It's like rebuilding yourself as a human."

The coronavirus pandemic has delayed some of Lewis' projects so he's counting down until November, when he's back in front of the camera.

However, should a project land on his lap from now till then, Lewis is ready to grab the opportunity — just like Hollywood actor Will Smith taught him. 

The duo starred together in the 2013 sci-fi adventure movie After Earth, but Lewis' scenes were unfortunately left on the cutting room floor by director M. Night Shyamalan.

The Aussie actor may not have appeared in the film's final cut, but nevertheless the time he spent with Smith was invaluable. 

"I got to have a couple of chats with Will Smith and his kids Jaden and Willow and we were talking about determination and resilience, and just how to strengthen your mindset. It was really cool hearing them talk about this all the time. And it gives testament to Will's advice, which is, 'Stay ready, so you never have to get ready.'

"I guess, my health, my fitness and also my projects, that's where I'm at at the moment. I'm just hoping that the industry picks up a lot more, so that I get the opportunity to be on set again."

Mindful Eating

This September doesn't only mark one year since Lewis' Men's Health cover, but it also confirms to him that a healthy body is the product of a healthy mind. For this reason, the actor is proud to be the ambassador for AOAM. 

"When these guys hit me up, I was blown away," he says. "This is exactly what I've been aligning myself with these past 12 months since I've realised the benefits of taking care of yourself and how eating organic benefited me both physically and mentally."

https://www.instagram.com/p/CBzoyfaFlk4/

Lewis — who is the son of NRL great Wally Lewis — is now the healthiest he's been in years. He dropped 12kg in the three months leading up to his Men's Health shoot and maintained it in the past year, thanks to an organic diet. The actor says he ditched the bad food choices and, as a result, gained clarity. 

"I didn't realise how much food plays its part in every aspect of your life. So when I completely changed my eating habits, that changed my energy levels, and it changed my mindset because I was feeling a lot clearer," he reveals.

"When I wasn't looking after myself, it trickled down physically. But once that s--t exits your system, there's just something about the mental clarity that speaks for itself. All I can tell you is my personal experience and, that for me, the proof is in the pudding. I would love for other people to experience that same happiness."

Lincoln Lewis, ambassador, Australian Organic Awareness Month, AOAM, 2020

As an ambassador for AOAM, Lewis toured certified organic farms and meat suppliers across his home state of Queensland to better educate himself about the value and benefits of organic products. Many items on the market claim to be organic but in reality it is only two per cent organic, Lewis says. That's why he urges customers to buy locally made produce and look for the Australian Certified Organic BUD Logo on products.

"Consumers can get the reassurance that it is the way it should be," he says. "Food should just be eaten how it is in nature — and that's the best way. No chemicals, pesticides or growth hormones — none of that kind of crap. Of course on top of that, it's supporting the local industry, local farmers, local growers and producers." 

If you or anyone you know needs immediate support, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or via lifeline.org.au. In an emergency, call 000.

Big Brother's Janelle Blasts Nicole F.'s Wedding Invite After Getting Evicted

Janelle Pierzina, one of the most beloved players in Big Brother history, is continuing her feud with Nicole Franzel after being evicted from the All Stars house.

Nicole is getting married to former contestant Victor Arroyo later this year and in her goodbye message to Janelle, she uninvited her from attending the wedding.

“I thought we were really good friends outside of here and quickly I realized that wasn’t the case. I know you probably don’t want to come to my wedding, so just don’t worry about it,” Nicole said with a smirk.

Well, when Janelle got home after being evicted, Nicole‘s wedding invitation was there and she just shared it on Twitter.

“Just received my invite. 3k for hotel so Nicole’s reception and hotel stay can basically be comped. Glad I don’t have to go. I hate cheap ass weddings where the go to song is Cotton Eyed Joe,” Janelle tweeted.

Janelle also threw shade at another contestant in an interview after being evicted.

Marisol Nichols' Secret Life As an Undercover Sex Trafficking Agent Is Being Turned Into a TV Show

Marisol Nichols' Secret Life As an Undercover Sex Trafficking Agent Is Being Turned Into a TV Show

Marisol Nichols has a secret life that you probably knew nothing about.

The Riverdale star has actually been an undercover sex trafficking agent for years and helped the FBI and other government agencies in numerous child sex stings around the world.

Now, Marisol‘s second career is being made into a television series, according to Deadline, as Sony Pictures Television has optioned the rights to the original feature that was written for Marie Claire magazine.

The story shined a light on Marisol‘s work, where depending on the situation she either played the part of a parent pimping out a child, or the role of a child being pimped out to a guy who thinks he is about to have sex with a 12-year-old.

Marisol began her human trafficking fight work in 2012 when her acting career started to slow, and even started a nonprofit organization called Foundation for a Slavery Free World.

The series is in the early stages of development of the project, and Marisol is set to executive produce and maybe star in the story herself.

Just recently, it was reported that Marisol would be leaving Riverdale after five seasons on the show, but it looks like she’ll be returning after all…

Michael B. Jordan Pays Tribute to Chadwick Boseman, Talks About One of the Last Times They Spoke

Michael B. Jordan has broken his silence on the death of his Black Panther co-star Chadwick Boseman and he wrote a heartbreaking tribute about their friendship.

The 33-year-old actor, who played Erik Killmonger in the Marvel superhero movie, said that he’s been struggling to come up with the right words to say.

“I’ve been trying to find the words, but nothing comes close to how I feel. I’ve been reflecting on every moment, every conversation, every laugh, every disagreement, every hug…everything,” MBJ wrote in his Instagram post. “I wish we had more time.”

Michael continued by talking about one of the final conversations he had with Chadwick, who died last week at the age of 43 following a four-year battle with colon cancer.

“One of the last times we spoke, you said we were forever linked, and now the truth of that means more to me than ever. Since nearly the beginning of my career, starting with All My Children when I was 16 years old you paved the way for me. You showed me how to be better, honor purpose, and create legacy. And whether you’ve known it or not…I’ve been watching, learning and constantly motivated by your greatness,” Michael wrote. “I wish we had more time.”

He continued, “Everything you’ve given the world … the legends and heroes that you’ve shown us we are … will live on forever. But the thing that hurts the most is that I now understand how much of a legend and hero YOU are. Through it all, you never lost sight of what you loved most. You cared about your family , your friends, your craft, your spirit. You cared about the kids, the community, our culture and humanity. You cared about me. You are my big brother, but I never fully got a chance to tell you, or to truly give you your flowers while you were here.”

“I wish we had more time,” Michael said to conclude his tribute. “I’m more aware now than ever that time is short with people we love and admire. I’m gonna miss your honesty, your generosity, your sense of humor, and incredible gifts. I’ll miss the gift of sharing space with you in scenes. I’m dedicating the rest of my days to live the way you did. With grace, courage, and no regrets. “Is this your king!?” Yes . he . is! Rest In Power Brother.”

Niecy Nash Comes Out, Marries Artist Who Sang at Her First Wedding

Niecy Nash delivered a pair of whopping surprises on Monday:

First, she's gay!

Second, she's gay AND she's married!

The actress has exchanged vows with singer Jessica Betts, she announced on Instagram just a couple hours ago.

"Mrs. Carol Denise Betts 💍 @jessicabettsmusic #LoveWins🌈 📸 @robertector," Nash captioned a photo of herself and Betts walking hand-in-hand down the aisle, the same one we posted above.

Betts also celebrated the union in her message, writing:

"I got a whole Wife 👽💍 @niecynash1 #Bettsofbothworlds #LoveWins."

The women wed in an outdoor ceremony, saying "I do" underneath a tree that was adorned with flowers.

Niecy also acknowledged that her wedding -- to a female! -- comes as a shock to many of her followers, writing on her Instagram Story: "#PlotTwist."

It also comes about a year after her divorce filing from husband Jay Tucker in December of 2019.

In the legal documents related to the divorce, Nash listed the couple’s date of separation as June 1, 2019... three days after their eight-year wedding anniversary.

"We believe in the beauty of truth. Always have," Nash's separatiion statement read last October.

It continued:

"Our truth is that in this season of our lives, we are better friends than partners in marriage.

"Our union was such a gorgeous ride. And as we go our separate ways now, we feel fortunate for the love we share—present tense.

"Thank you all out there for your support of us as a couple over the last eight years. We are grateful."

Want another plot twist?

Betts actually sang at Nash's first wedding!

We don't know much more about her connection to Nash, however, such as when the two began dating -- because this was the first time we learned they were even a romantic item.

Back in June 2018, though, Betts posted a video from her time on the set of Claws, the TNT drama on which Nash stars.

The musician performed one of her songs on the episode where Niecy's character gets married. How ironic!

Congratulations, meanwhile, are pouring in for the newlyweds, with Jesse Tyler Ferguson commenting on the actress' post, "So happy for you!"

Added Lena Waithe: "Congrats @niecynash1!! Sending y’all so much love!!!"

And Sarah Paulson remarked: "I love you so much."

Kanye West Just Said The Most Offensive Thing You Can Say About Donald Trump! 

Kanye West’s ill-fated presidential campaign may not have put him at odds with his buddy Donald Trump, but this remark just might. 

The rapper made an appearance on Nick Cannon’s podcast Cannon’s Class to set the record straight on his essentially unwinnable run for the presidency — and speculation he’s deliberately running a spoiler campaign in favor of President Trump.

In a clip from the show, which will be posted in full on Tuesday, the former America’s Got Talent host commiserated with Kanye over their shared controversial status

Related: Melania Refused To Use Same Shower & Toilet As Michelle Obama?!

The Yeezus artist said: 

“People keep on saying, ‘I think that … you and Republicans … are in cahoots.'”

Cannon elaborated:

“They’re saying that they’re paying you to do what you’re doing, to be a distraction.”

With humor, the 43-year-old denied: 

“Bro, can’t nobody pay me. … I got more money than Trump!”

Now, first of all, nobody really thinks that West is being bribed financially to run his bizarre vanity campaign. That’s a weird interpretation by Cannon.

What we have heard is he was manipulated into launching his run with appeals to his ego — and egged on by his pal Jared Kushner. Plus, he may have denied getting paid by Republicans, but that doesn’t explain the major GOP operatives working on his already fraudulent campaign (that’s about the definition of “cahoots” if you ask us). And on top of all that, he said in his own words that he’d like to thwart Biden’s presidency… so, all in all, color us unconvinced by this denial. 

Perhaps more interestingly, Kanye’s claim that he has “more money than Trump” was a weird flex that may have inadvertently targeted the president right where it hurts the most.

In case you didn’t know, Don really doesn’t like when people under-value his net worth — even if that number is much lower, in reality, than the one he’s claimed. Trump’s longest, most vicious feuds have been with people like Rosie O’Donnell who questioned his riches. In the past, the 74-year-old has gone so far as to sue for libel over a book that included a net worth value he didn’t agree with. 

When he announced his candidacy he claimed his worth at $10 billion; Forbes put him at $4.5 billion. For years, Trump has disagreed with the money mag over their estimation of his fortune. If that sounds familiar, it’s because Kanye also feuded with the money mag over his supposed billions. (For what it’s worth, Forbes estimated Kanye is worth $1.3 billion and Trump $2.1 billion, meaning the Yeezy founder wasn’t even correct in his claim.) 

The clip concludes with Cannon asking Kim Kardashian West’s husband: 

“But people are saying you’re a distraction, and because they don’t want four more years of Trump — maybe you might, I don’t — but you want an alternative of four years of ‘Ye. Is that realistic right now in 2020?”

Related: Kanye Features Kirsten Dunst & Anna Wintour In Bizarre Campaign Poster

West responded with what is now a familiar refrain:

“I’m not running for President… I’m walking.”

The line got a laugh out of Cannon, but we’re not really finding the meaningless slogan very funny. If there’s more to Kanye’s run than an ego-stroking spoiler campaign — that skirts the line of legality with its ballot signatures — we have yet to see it. And with countless lives on the line and Trump’s campaign creeping further and further into fascist territory, we’d really prefer if Kanye walked somewhere else. Like toward Los Angeles where his children live.

The last thing this country needs right now is two narcissistic rich guys squabbling over their fortunes on a national stage. But if this insult drives a wedge between Kanye and Trump, we won’t be mad about that either.

“I’ve had well over 10 — [it’s] constant COVID testing every two days,” Keke shared in a recent interview with THR.

She added that “this is being done so differently,” and notes that rehearsals were done over Zoom and her glam squad has been wearing masks and clear face shields.

“If you are planning on doing something like this, we have to be on strict guidelines. I just want to do what we need to do to get it done — I’m willing to jump through hoops. I think we need entertainment right now. It’s what I do and what I love,” Keke shared.

Chadwick Boseman's 'Black Panther' Co-Star Danai Gurira Writes Heartbreaking Tribute After His Death

Chadwick Boseman's 'Black Panther' Co-Star Danai Gurira Writes Heartbreaking Tribute After His Death

Chadwick Boseman‘s Black Panther co-star Danai Gurira has paid tribute to him after his tragic death earlier in the weekend at the young age of 43. He quietly battled colon cancer before his death.

“How do you honor a king? Reeling from the loss of my colleague, my friend, my brother. Struggling for words. Nothing feels adequate. I always marveled at how special Chadwick was. Such a pure hearted, profoundly generous, regal, fun guy. My entire job as Okoye was to respect and protect a king. Honor his leadership. Chadwick made that job profoundly easy. He was the epitome of kindness, elegance, diligence and grace. On many an occasion I would think how thankful I was that he was the leading man I was working closely with. A true class act. And so perfectly equipped to take on the responsibility of leading the franchise that changed everything for Black representation,” the 43-year-old actress posted on Instagram.

She continued, “He made everyone feel loved, heard and seen. He played great, iconic roles because he possessed inside of himself that connection to greatness to be able to so richly bring them to life. He had a heroic spirit, and marched to the beat of his own drum; hence his excellence as an artist and the incredible courage and determination as he faced life’s challenges; while still guiding us all.”

Danai also wrote, “He was zen and sweet and funny (with the very best laugh), attentive, and truly, truly, good. I can’t even wrap my mind around this loss. A loss resonating in my own heart as well as around the globe. The children he inspired, my heart aches for them, to lose their hero just as they finally found him. I am so thankful to have taken the Black Panther journey with him. To have known him, spent time in his light and leadership and to call him forever a friend.”

She ended the tribute with the Xhosa phrase, “Lala Ngoxolo Kumkani,” which roughly translates to “Sleep in peace, O King.”

See what Chadwick‘s other Black Panther co-stars said after his sudden death.

Adele Breaks The Internet With New Viral Pic Showing Her Full Transformation & Then Some — OMG!

Adele, is that you?!

The British-born singer has broken the internet on Sunday afternoon, as not even a full hour ago she shared a pic — apparently from last year’s Carnival festival, it would seem — that has everybody feeling some type of way!

Related: Adele Asks Fans To ‘Be Patient’ When Asking For New Music All The Time!

The Hello singer posted the photo of herself in a Jamaican flag-themed bikini top along with her hair curled up in knots and feathers popping out of the back of her head. She went on Instagram for the post, and very quickly caused a stir as fans around the world immediately reacted to what you can see here (below):

OMG!!! What a transformation!!!!

Obviously, we’ve known Adele has been changing her look quite a bit, to say the least, but to see the singer all svelte and lean like this, too… just… WOW!!!

The pic pays tribute to this year’s canceled Notting Hill Carnival, and appears to have been taken at this event (or a similar one?) last year, before the coronavirus pandemic. So while the pic itself may not be completely new, as TMZ points out, it’s definitely new to all of us… and we can’t get enough. WOW!!!

Related: Adele And Skepta Get Super Flirty With Each Other In The Comments Section…

We aren’t the only ones who have a SERIOUS reaction to Adele’s new Jamaican-inspired and very memorable, meme-able look, either. Good, bad, or indifferent to the serious changes, here it all is:

“Adele is an honorary Jamaican she always has been idc”

“Cancel culture is definitely fake because I will never cancel Adele”

“Swear I thought that picture of Adele was photoshopped. lol”

“omg Adele lol… 2020 is a weird year”

OK, we can definitely get behind that last one especially! We’re ready to just flip the calendar over and move on from here…

Obviously, many Twitter users are rightfully concerned about Adele’s apparent cultural appropriation — both with dress and with her hairstyle — while others are mainly amazed at the physical transformation she’s made over the past year or two! And honestly, both opinions are valid. There’s a LOT to take in with this picture!

Reactions, Perezcious readers? We know, it’s quite a bit to take in about one of the world’s most famous singers and performers. Crazy!!! And controversial??

Sound off about all of this and anything else Adele-related down in the comments (below)!
