Don't believe it? See for yourself in our photo gallery, where animal-friendly examples await you.
Since the wife in a blissful state did not want to take pregnancy photos, the husband took matters into his own hands and stepped in as a model himself. Of course, medicine did not advance so much overnight that the scenario from the movie Junior with Arnold Schwarzenegger could come true, and there was no need to hire the services of Photoshop either, because his beer belly took care of the pregnancy effect.
Darth Vader, probably the most famous movie villain in the world, or indeed in the entire galaxy, now also has his own car. The Star Wars antagonist got his own version of the Batmobile for the Comic-Con convention, naturally in the form of his infamous mask. The life-size car was made by the toy manufacturer Hot Wheels, the only dark side is that only one will see the light of day. If the force is there, a toy will soon be waiting for you.
