History Fact
Too Many Stairs
Upon the German occupation of Paris in 1940, the French cut the lift cables on the Eiffel Tower so that the Germans would have to climb the steps if they wished to visit the summit. Soldiers climbed the 1,710 stairs to hang a German flag, but Hitler never ascended the tower himself. It can be said that while Hitler conquered France, he never conquered the Eiffel Tower.
Movie/TV Trivia
Daniel Radcliffe was supposed to wear green eye contacts during the Harry Potter movies
Book fans were surprised when Daniel Radcliffe emerged on screen for the first time as Harry Potter and didn’t have the same distinctive green eye colour as Rowling’s literary creation.
In fact, Radcliffe was supposed to wear green eye contacts throughout the filming of every single Harry Potter movie, but the plan had to be scrapped after Radcliffe struggled with the lenses.
When filming commenced on the first ever movie, Radcliffe found the contacts so uncomfortable that producers decided that Harry would just have to have blue eyes instead! The actor later commented: “I tried contacts in the first film because in the book Harry’s eyes are supposed to be a brilliant green and mine are much bluer than they should be.
So we put green contact lenses in but they were excruciatingly painful. So I don’t think we’ll be going back down the contact road if I can avoid it.”
