December 29th marked the tenth anniversary of Michael Schumacher’s tragic skiing accident.
The seven-time Formula 1 world champion is still suffering from severe after-effects that leave him unable to communicate and move.
Exactly ten years ago, on December 29th 2013, the accident occurred when Schumacher took a violent fall while skiing during his family vacation in Méribel in Savoie, shortly after retiring from Formula 1 racing.
His head hit a rock and his helmet shattered under the force of the impact.
When rescuers arrived, Schumacher, also known as “The Red Baron,” was stunned but conscious.
He was immediately taken to hospital, where he remained in a coma for several months.
On the evening of the same day, Grenoble University Hospital announced that the former champion had “suffered severe head trauma with coma upon arrival, requiring immediate neurosurgical intervention.”
Schumacher also suffered a brain hemorrhage, and his life prognosis was at risk.
When he woke up six months later, nothing was the same.
To this day, it is difficult to know the state of Michael Schumacher’s health, as his family is extremely discreet on the subject.
They keep him away from the media and do not reveal any information about him.
The Formula 1 world champion is now unable to walk or stand, and it is impossible for him to communicate with those around him.
Michael Schumacher is cared for 24 hours a day by a team of about fifteen doctors, nurses and physiotherapists.
A whole decade has passed since the accident involving Michael Schumacher, which occurred while skiing in the resort of Méribel in the French Alps.
Since September 2014, he has been living in a medical suite in his family villa in Gland, Switzerland.
“He is a prisoner of his own body,” said Gaëtan Vigneron, an F1 commentator for 30 years and an expert on the racing scene.
Michael’s younger brother Ralf revealed information to some local media, which was picked up by the Daily Mail: “I miss the Michael of old.
Life can be so unfair sometimes. Michael has been very lucky all his life.
THE TRANSFORMATION OF SHILOH JOLIE-PITT: FROM OUTCAST TO RED CARPET STAR AS JOHN
Sometimes, the connection between actors working closely together on set extends into their personal lives, as we’ve seen happen many times before.
For instance, take the once-famous couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who are now divorced.
Back in 2004, when they started working on “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston. However, that didn’t stop him from falling in love with Jolie, which gave birth to the iconic “Brangelina” couple.
“Because of the film, we ended up being brought together to do all these crazy things, and I think we found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened. I think a few months in I realized, ‘God, I can’t wait to get to work.’ … Anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. We just became kind of a pair,” Jolie mentioned.
Throughout their 12-year relationship, they welcomed six children: the twins Vivienne and Knox, and their three biological children, Maddox, Zahara, and Pax, alongside Shiloh.
The media frenzy surrounding Jolie’s pregnancy was intense. Paparazzi followed them everywhere, and magazines were willing to pay a fortune for a photo of the soon-to-be-famous baby.
New York Magazine even said, “Not since Jesus has a baby been so eagerly anticipated.”
Shiloh was born on May 27, 2006. The couple made a staggering $14 million from the sale of her picture, which they generously donated to UNICEF.
“While we celebrate the joy of the birth of our daughter, we recognize that 2 million babies born every year in the developing world die on the first day of their lives. These children can be saved, but only if governments around the world make it a priority,” the couple stated.
Shiloh, who’s about to turn 16, has been in the public eye practically since birth. She’s inherited the best from her famous parents and is undeniably beautiful. But there’s something about her, especially her style, that has caught people’s attention. She also prefers to be called John by her parents and siblings.
During a conversation with Oprah, Pitt admitted, “She only wants to be called John. John or Peter. So it’s a Peter Pan thing. So we’ve got to call her John.” He later added, ‘Shi, do you want …’ – ‘John. I’m John.’ And then I’ll say, ‘John, would you like some orange juice?’ And she goes, ‘No!’ So, you know, it’s just that kind of stuff that’s cute to parents, and it’s probably really obnoxious to other people.”
Jolie also mentioned her daughter’s preference for dressing like a boy to Vanity Fair:
“She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys’ everything. She thinks she’s one of the brothers.”
However, neither Pitt nor Jolie seemed to have an issue with it. They supported their daughter in whatever choices she made.
Shiloh held a special place in Jolie’s heart, so it was a bit challenging for her to stop using that name. Nonetheless, she respected her daughter’s wishes.
Thanks to the custody arrangements put in place after the couple’s separation, all the children get quality time with both of their parents. Pitt and Jolie are both devoted parents who go above and beyond for the well-being of their children.
In 2021, Shiloh made headlines when she joined her famous mother at the premiere of Marvel’s “Eternals.” She wore the same Dior gown that Angelina had donned in 2019 at a press conference for “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.” Shiloh had her long hair in a bun and looked absolutely stunning.
For the Rome premiere, she opted for a little black dress paired with yellow and black sneakers.
