When Elliot Costello and a group of other people visited Cambodia, he had an encounter with a young girl named Thea.
Little did Elliot know that this encounter would have an impact so profound on him that it would help start a movement whose goal is to end sexual abuse against children.
Namely, Thea always had nail polish on her tiny nails. One day, as she and Elliot chatted, she asked to paint one of his nails. He agreed and was happy to speak to the chatty girl, but he then learned that she was once a victim of sexual abuse.
“As she painted one of my nails, I assured her I would always keep it that way to remember her, and by extension, her suffering,” Elliot said.
This motivated Elliot to try and make positive change among men so that less and less children fall victims of sexual abuse.
That is when he came up with the movement called #PolishedMan where men put nail polish on one of their nails. That one nail represents the one in five children who will be victims of sexual violence.
Polished Man works towards ending sexual violence against children. According to the organization, “being a Polished Man means challenging violent behavior and language, both locally and globally.”
Elliot believes that since men are responsible for 96% of this type of violence against children globally, they should be catalyst for change if we are ever to see an end to the abuse of innocent children.
The goal with the painted nail isn’t just to remind people of the number of children who are abused every single day, but to serve as a conversation starter about this reality, leading to new ideas about prevention. He also hopes that people will start donating to “support educational programs and resources for child survivors of abuse,” as per APlus.
We hope that more men, including celebrities would be willing to join this movement.
Hollywood Heartthrob Tom Cruise Swept Off His Feet by Rumored ‘New’ Love
The public has been wondering about the 61-year-old actor Tom Cruise’s love life as he has been comparatively quiet about his romantic pursuits in recent years. His third wife, Katie Holmes, filed for divorce fifteen years ago, which is a noteworthy period of time. Cruise appears to have faced difficulties in the dating world despite his ongoing fame.
Rumors have recently connected Cruise romantically to Hayley Atwell, his co-star in Mission: Impossible, and then to Colombian pop singer Shakira. Still, there are doubts about these rumors’ veracity. Those who are excited to see Cruise with a new partner may be interested in learning the most recent rumors about his 36-year-old ex-wife, Elsina Khayrova.
Rumors have claimed that Elsina Khayrova is having intimate relations with a billionaire from Russia. Reportedly, Cruise and Khayrova were spotted together at a party in Mayfair, London, and looked to be best friends. The British citizen and former model Khayrova just divorced a business tycoon earlier this year. Her marriage came to light when, in 2022, she was forced to pay a large amount of £117,000 ($149,500) to a company that installed fountains in one of her and her ex-husband’s homes.
An insider at the event said that although Cruise was courteous, she turned down requests for pictures, which prompted the DJ to announce in Russian to the audience that Cruise would have liked not to be taken. The majority of the evening was spent dancing together between Cruise and Khayrova, which excited bystanders. Cruise was also seen having fun among a group of women at one point.
Tom Cruise has been married three times in the past. He was married to Nicole Kidman for eleven years, from 1990 to 2001, following his first marriage, which lasted from 1987 to 1990. Cruise, a well-known Scientologist, divorced Katie Holmes in 2012 and hasn’t been dating since. His union with Holmes was consummated in 2012.
The intriguing query that emerges is: Is Elsina Khayrova the purported new girlfriend of Tom Cruise? Please feel free to leave a remark below with your opinions! The audience is still enthralled with the romantic life story that is developing around Cruise, and time will tell if the rumors are true or not.
