Dwyane Wade's wife, Gabrielle Union, opens up about how menopause made her uncomfortable as she became a mother for the first time in her life
A few weeks ago, the popular Hollywood actress, Gabrielle Union spoke to Marie Claire about how being on menopause and embracing motherhood made her experience a lot of uncomfortable emotions.
The 'Being Mary Jane' actress said, 'I was in perimenopause in my thirties, so I had some time to get used to hot flashes, memory loss, and hair loss.
What I didn't know, though, was that I had this autoimmune issue that greatly impacted everything.'
Gabrielle Union added, 'When we talk about that edge to your voice—that I wanted to eliminate by having more patience and more wisdom…menopause kind of just says, 'Ha!' And my patience can shrink on a dime. And it makes it hard.'
The popular actress continued, 'I just didn't want to be the person anyone avoided.'

Los Angeles, Aug 5 (IANS) Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth talked about the surreal experience he had on performing alongside Grammy-winner Ed Sheeran in front of 70,000 fans after learning how to play the drums for his new series titled 'Limitless: Live Better Now.' 1 2 Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth talked about the surreal experience he had on performing alongside Grammy-winner Ed Sheeran in front of 70,000 fans after learning how to play the drums for his new series titled "Limitless: Live Better Now. " The actor joined the singer on stage at a concert in Bucharest, Romania and recalled how he felt as if he was "floating" during the gig. Speaking at a Q+A for the show, Hemsworth said: "(It was) very much a kind of out of body experience and there's something about being in unison and in time with, not just a band, but a mass group of people. He added: "And I imagine it was sort of like a universal prayer or whatever, where people get together, and this sort of intention to point towards something positive in the same direction that there would be some interconnected experience. And that's what it felt like. I felt like it was kind of beyond me at that point. I was just floating along for the ride." Hemsworth said that it was challenging to come up with ideas for the new series after he had been "killed emotionally and physically" by the initial programme Limitless with Chris Hemsworth in 2022, reports The 41-year-old actor said: "The first series almost killed me, emotionally and physically. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Susan Boyle Is Now so Thin and Looks Beautiful!

Hemsworth discovered during the making of Limitless that he was considerably more likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease because of his genetics but he is prepared to "embrace death." He told the BBC: "Suffering comes from denial of our inevitably of death - we all have an expiration death. If you were told you had 200 years guaranteed you'd become more complacent and reckless. The idea that life can be taken away at any second is a beautiful reminder to appreciate every moment." Exclusive! Siddhant Chaturvedi in conversation with Chris Hemsworth

Talking about her role, she says, 'The character of Noor is a very simple, very outgoing, outspoken, mature college-going girl. She loves her family. I can relate to the way she loves her family, the way she cares about her family's decisions. But somewhere deep down, I don't relate to her. She does a lot of things just for the happiness of her family and not her own. But Amandeep is not like that.
