Jude Law wore a horrifying concoction of scents, a pungent blend of “blood, fecal matter and sweat,” to play Henry VIII in “Firebrand,” a historical drama about the final days of the king and his sixth and last wife Katherine Parr. “I read several interesting accounts that you could smell Henry three rooms away. His leg was rotting so badly. He hid it with rose oil,” Law said at Monday’s Cannes Film Festival press conference for “Firebrand,” which debuted at the Palais a day prior. “I thought it would have a great impact if I smelt awful.” So, he went to perfume specialist to create a custom, revolting blend of smells. “She makes wonderful scents, and she also makes awful scents. She somehow came up with this extraordinary variety of blood, fecal matter and sweat.”
Four blood cancer red flags people should never ignore including repeat symptom
08.05.2023 - 14:07 / dailyrecord.co.uk
People in Scotland are being urged to learn the four main symptoms of leukaemia, one of the most deadly forms of cancer.
Leukaemia is a form of blood cancer that kills more people than prostate cancer and breast cancer. Sadly, it affects people of all ages and its rate of survival is just 50 percent.
Four of the most common signs include fatigue, bruising, unusual bleeding and repeated infections, yet a survey last year by Leukaemia UK and Leukaemia Care found that almost half of Scots (48 percent) couldn't recognise one of them.
People who are concerned about any of the above symptoms are being strongly urged by the charities to contact their GP and request a blood test.
The two charities are aiming to raise awareness about symptoms of the disease, which is often diagnosed too late and kills 5,000 people a year in the UK. Blood cancer is the fifth most common cancer and the third deadliest.
Repeat infections are one of the most common leukaemia symptoms, but only nine percent of respondents in Scotland were aware of the fact, according to the recent public survey.
Fatigue is often the most likely symptom to be identified by those later diagnosed with leukaemia, but 39 percent of people weren't able to recognise the sign.
Leukaemia is cancer of white blood cells. Acute leukaemia means it progresses quickly, usually requiring urgent treatment.
There are many different forms of the disease, including acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, chronic myeloid leukaemia, and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.
The following are signs and symptoms of the disease, courtesy of Leukaemia UK:
One Scots woman only experienced a single leukaemia symptom. Melissa McNaughton, 33, from Bridgeton, Glasgow, experienced fatigue which she brushed off as working

Peter Gabriel has released new single ‘Four Kinds Of Horses’, which features his daughter Melanie on backing vocals alongside Brian Eno on synthesiser – check it out below.Released on Friday (May 5) to coincide with the full moon, the song is the latest track to be shared from Gabriel’s upcoming solo album ‘i/o’ following ‘Panopticom’ and ‘The Court’.Gabriel said that ‘Four Kinds Of Horses’ explores “the interesting overlap of religion and peace on the one hand and violence and terrorism on the other”, and was inspired by the Buddhist parable of the same name, “which describes different ways a student can approach their spiritual practice”.He went on to describe Eno’s synths as “sounding like electric worms”, while Melanie’s vocals provide “another lovely moment for a dad”.Speaking about ‘i/o’, Gabriel said: “Some of what I’m writing about this time is the idea that we seem incredibly capable of destroying the planet that gave us birth and that unless we find ways to reconnect ourselves to nature and to the natural world we are going to lose a lot. A simple way of thinking about where we fit in to all of this is looking up at the sky… and the moon has always drawn me to it.”While the album doesn’t yet have a release date, Gabriel is set to head out on a headline tour of Europe, North America and the UK later this month.The run of shows starts May 18 in Poland before reaching the UK in June – tickets are available here.
