During a recent interview on Samah Dada’s On The Menu podcast, Tom Holland admitted to some rather bizarre behavior in his relationship with Zendaya which he said stems from his “anxiety” about their public romance. Holland and Zendaya made their relationship public in 2021 after meeting on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017).
The peculiar revelation came when Holland was asked about his most recent Google search. “The last thing I Googled was actually Zendaya,” Holland revealed. “I’m not on [social media], and I delete it when I’m not using it.”
Apparently, Holland's lack of social media presence compels him to track what his partner is doing in real-time. “So, sometimes, like, it’s more of a bit of an anxiety thing,” he explained, “but I’ll check to see if everything’s good and to make sure we’re all cool. So I just give her a little Google and look [through] the news, and I’m like, ‘She’s good. We’re fine.'”
It’s unclear what exactly Holland is expecting to find through these searches, but perhaps some of us can relate to Googling the one we love in an effort to learn more about them. Admittedly, the act is somewhat different when that person is one of the most famous people in the world.
Holland and Zendaya have kept their relationship extremely private by Hollywood standards. “Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible. We don’t think that we owe it to anyone, it’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers,” Holland told The Hollywood Reporter last year.
He and Zendaya will reteam on the big screen for Spider-Man 4, which is set to begin filming next year.
Bhayashree's foodie updates never fail to tantalise our tastebuds. From lip-smacking recipes to culinary tips, Bhagyashree's gastronomical escapades enjoy a separate fanbase. On Sunday, November 3, the actress treated herself to an authentic Jharkhand dish known as Dhuska. FYI: Dhuska is a deep-fried rice cake prepared using rice, lentils and aromatic spices. This crispy snack is served with potato curry or chana dal. In the video, shared on Instagram, Bhagyashree was seen holding a plate of Dhuska served with chickpea curry. The text along with the post read, “Dhuska… fried golden. I had to taste the local dish.”
Before this, Bhagyashree took her tummy on a joy ride and tried Lai Ki Sabzi, a dish from Arunachal Pradesh. It is prepared using bamboo shoots and bottled gourd leaves and is packed with nutrients and vitamins. Bhagyashree relished it with steamed rice. Sharing more details about Lai Ki Sabzi on Instagram, she said, “This preparation has almost all the important nutrients your body needs. It is great for weight watchers because while being light on the stomach it is tasteful to the tongue. Made with a hint of bhoot jolokia (The chilli pepper with a spice level that outcastes any other chillies) This helps in burning fat too. This dish is not for the fainthearted as it can really turn up the heat. This anokhi sabji... a combination of Lai and bamboo shoots… straight out of the cuisine of Arunachal Pradesh.”
Bhagyashree has a thing for traditional cuisines. Proof? The actress, a while back, relished a plate of soft-spongy millet dosa served with coconut chutney and sambar dal. Wait, there is more. She ate fluffy millet idlis too. According to Bhagyashree, switching to the millet version is a “healthier” alternative. Read the full story here.
Mushrooms are super versatile and can be used in all kinds of dishes. You can get creative with them by grilling, sauteing, baking, roasting, or stir-frying to make a delicious meal. Pair them with rice, roti, or naan, or enjoy them as an appetiser for their soft, chewy texture and rich flavour. However, since mushrooms contain over 90 percent water, cooking them can be a bit tricky. If not done right, they can turn grey and soggy, making the dish taste bland. But don't worry - a recent viral hack shows how you can prevent this and keep them fresh. Digital creator Kathleen Ashmore has shared a video on Instagram demonstrating a step-by-step guide to preparing perfect mushrooms. Her key tip?
Dry the mushrooms in a pan so they can 'sweat out' and release moisture. In the clip, she says, "When I was in culinary school, I learned how to properly cook mushrooms to make them golden and caramelised instead of grey and soggy. The first thing you need to know is that mushrooms are full of water. So, I start them in a dry pan to let them sweat. Once they begin to dry, I add my fat - either oil or butter. I also wait until the end to salt them, as salt draws out moisture." She urged culinary enthusiasts not to 'overcrowd the pan' and to cook the mushrooms 'until they are nice and golden brown.' Take a look:
Internet users quickly reacted to the video, leaving numerous comments in response. One person wrote, "Thank you! I love mushrooms, and these look so freaking good." Another added, "Yup! Exactly how I cook them, I learned after trial and tribulation." A third commented, "Yes! My mom told me the same thing: get them dry out of the mushrooms." "What if I'm adding onions? Should I do them before the mushrooms, after the mushrooms, or at the same time?" asked another user. A fifth user noted, "I learned this when I was 10. To be fair, I learned it from Julia versus Julie." "Thanks for sharing," said another comment. Another person wrote, "I have been cooking them ALL wrong!"

Après-ski deserves its own whisky, and Johnnie Walker may have just made it: Blue Label Ice Chalet. After all, what tastes better than a warming glass of golden liquor after a long, cold day shredding pow?
Created in collaboration with luxury skiwear brand Perfect Moment and shareholder Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ice Chalet is the second release in the Diageo-owned brand’s Cobalt series, following last year’s Elusive Umami, which was created with chef Kei Kobayashi. The whisky itself is inspired by “Blue Hour,” the period of time when the sun has slipped significantly below the horizon and the sky takes on a certain almost indigo beauty that makes everything a touch more magical and skiing turns to socializing.
To create the whisky, master blender Emma Walker blended Scotch whisky from Diageo’s northernmost and highest altitude distilleries, including Dalwhinnie, Clynelish, and old stock from Brora. It was predominantly aged in refill American oak, rejuvenated heavily charred casks, and ex-American oak bourbon casks, as well as some wine and sherry casks.

The nose delivers sweet and creamy vanilla aromas, which combine with spiced apples and plums as well as a gentle wood spice. On the palate, apples, berries, and spices combine with soft wood, gentle smoke and rich orchard fruits. The finish is soft and fruity with gentle smoky notes.
Along with the whisky, Johnnie Walker and Perfect Moment will also launch the Ice Chalet capsule ski wear collection. The brand’s signature square bottle comes in a deep blue reversible bottle bag, which doubles as a crossbody bag.
“The quintessential après-ski moment embodies the fusion of great fashion and good friends, ideally accompanied by an exceptional drink,” says Priyanka Chopra Jonas. “Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ice Chalet captures this essence perfectly, with a nod to the freshness of the mountains and a crossbody bag that looks as good on the snowy slopes as it does by the fireside.”
Bottled at 43 percent ABV, Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ice Chalet arrives with a suggested retail price of $420.
After years of talking about your weight loss plan, you’ve finally decided to take action. You hired a personal trainer, have a solid workout routine, and found the motivation you’ve been searching for. But here’s the issue—you want to burn fat and get fit but have limited time. Should you hop on the treadmill? Or start knocking off floors on the StairMaster? The good news: If your goal is to get your heart pumping, your legs burning, and your fitness improving, you can’t really make a wrong choice whether you go with the StairMaster vs treadmill.
“Both are really good for building aerobic capacity. And they’re both fairly equal from a lower body fitness standpoint,” says Shawn Arent, Ph.D., C.S.C.S., chair of the Department of Exercise Science at the University of South Carolina.
But depending on your fitness goals, mobility, and what you want to—or don’t want to—get out of a gym session, the StairMaster or treadmill may be a better cardio workout. Below I discuss what makes each great, some drawbacks for each piece of equipment, and some interval workouts you can use on each machine to help keep your cardio sessions fresh.
You may be wondering which is better the StairMaster vs treadmill for fat loss. In a study comparing lots of different cardio machines, recreationally active men who went all-out on the StairMaster and treadmill burned a similar number of calories per minute. The treadmill burned slightly more (17 calories per minute) than stair climbing (15), but both machines outperformed stationary bikes and elliptical machines.
They’re Both Good for Beginners and Advanced Exercisers
Even if you’ve never scanned a gym membership card before, you already know how to run, walk, and climb stairs. The stair climber might be slightly better for beginners who want to do high-intensity work, says Greg Pignataro, C.S.C.S., founder of Never Past Your Prime, because it “forces you to move in a way that reinforces proper movement mechanics.”
The Mechanics Are Different
The main difference between a stair climber and a treadmill is obvious: Using a treadmill, you’re walking or running on a moving belt, while on the StairMaster or other type of stair climber, you’re climbing steps.
Stair Climbing Is Lower Impact
Running on a treadmill puts more impact on your lower body joints than walking or trotting upstairs. Increasing the speed at which you run on a treadmill increases those joint-jarring impacts, says Ryan Koziol, owner of RYKO Fitness. Bumping up the speed on a StairMaster is still a low-impact form of exercise.
Treadmills Are More Versatile
While you can increase the speed or resistance on a stair climber, Arent says, the treadmill’s ability to adjust speed and incline can provide more flexibility for making the workout easier or harder.
Each Challenge Your Leg Muscles Differently
Both pieces of equipment will challenge all the muscles in your legs, but climbing stairs can provide more overall activation of the quadriceps, the muscles in the front of your thighs, Arent says. Walking or running on the treadmill at an incline closes this gap. And to increase glute activation on a stair climber that is a step mill—a type that has a series of steps that cycle through instead of foot pads—you can skip a step, he says.
Treadmills May Transfer to Sports-Specific Goals
If you want to run 5Ks or other races, you’ll want to actually run, Arent says. And you can only really do that on a treadmill. But a study from 1993 found that college-aged women who did stair workouts for nine weeks improved their time in a 1.5 mile run, though not quite as much as other women who trained on the treadmill for the same period.
Treadmill
Beth Bischoff
Treadmill: Pros and Cons
The treadmill will help you rack up steps and elevate your heart rate. But it’s got other unique pluses that other cardio machines don’t have.
Pros of the Treadmill
If you want to run fast, you’ve got to run, says John Peel, a trainer for iFit and Nordic Track.
“It’s going to suit the trail runner, distance runner, and casual hiker more appropriately,” he says, because the incline can be increased to mimic some of the conditions faced in races.
Experts agree that the best way to run on a treadmill is with some level of incline. This reduces the impact of each step, Pignataro points out, and also makes it less likely that you’ll land on your heel, a jarring impact that can result in injury.
Versatility
Bikes, ellipticals, and step machines can only increase or decrease speed and resistance. Because you can adjust not only the speed but the incline of the treadmill, it may also be the most versatile piece of cardio equipment in the gym.
You can also just walk on a treadmill and get an effective workout, Koziol says. The ability to change multiple variables also lets you do multiple kinds of workouts: It’s easy to train slow, fast, at steady paces, or at different speeds or incline intervals.
Challenging at an Incline
While you may think of a treadmill as a piece of equipment for running, using it to walk at an incline may be even more effective, and it reduces the impact you’d feel while running. Koziol suggests trying to start walking at 5 to 7 degrees of incline, going for 10 to 20 minutes.
The treadmill’s moving belt forces you to run differently than you would outside, Pignataro says.
“It’s like having a rug pulled out from under you constantly,” he says. As a result, it’s more difficult to keep your center of gravity landing over the center of your foot. Instead, your leg goes in front of your body, and you land on your heel.
“That’s not the way we’re designed to run,” he says. “The forefoot should be the first point of contact. If you’re landing on the heel first, it’s my professional opinion that you’re doing more harm than good.”
To reduce this effect, run at an incline, he says. Your foot will be on the treadmill for longer on each step, and it’s easier to strike with the center and front of your foot.
Requires Lots of Ankle Mobility at High Inclines
When walking on a treadmill at an extreme incline, your ankle needs to flex so that your toes come toward your shins. This movement is called ankle dorsiflexion, and not everyone has great mobility in this way, Arent says.
If this is causing you discomfort, the stair climber may be better for you.
High Impact
Especially when running at low or zero incline, the treadmill is jarring. With each step slamming onto the belt, you’re sending shocks up through your feet, ankles, knees, and hips. This can result in overuse injuries or pain in the long haul, Koziol says.
Boring and Repetitive
There’s a reason the treadmill is sometimes called the “dreadmill.” While it can be the only option for certain exercisers to run during colder months, running on the treadmill can still be a drag.
StairMaster
Beth Bischoff
StairMaster: Pros and Cons
Climbing on a StairMaster, step mill, or other stair climbing machine is a great option for meeting the weekly recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate or vigorous cardiovascular activity. Plus, it also has some bonus benefits that other cardio machines can’t provide. But buyer beware, there are also a few nitpicky drawbacks to consider. Follow along as we answer what is the StairMaster good for and the cons of using the machine:
Pros of the StairMaster
Encourages Good Movement Mechanics
Unlike the treadmill, which can lead to heel striking, climbing on a step mill or StairMaster “forces you into better mechanics automatically,” Pignataro says. This means that you’ll step and land on the front and center of your foot instead of with the heel. “It’s basically impossible to climb stairs on your heels.”
This foolproof mechanical advantage makes the stair climber less likely to get you hurt, he says, and also an ideal choice for beginning exercisers.
A Challenging Workout
No surprise here. Climbing stairs is harder than moving at the same pace on flat ground (or a flat treadmill). You’ll be able to get to higher intensities at lower speeds, Koziol says, which has an added bonus: You can work harder without increasing the impact of the exercise on your joints.
Greater Quadriceps Activation
Climbing stairs will work all the muscles in your legs, just like walking or running on the treadmill. But the StairMaster will work the quadriceps, the muscles in the fronts of your thighs, a little harder, Arent says.
Climbing the steps at a fast pace will also work the muscles in the back of your legs, also known as your posterior chain, harder than flat or low-incline treadmill walking or running, Peel says.
In a study that compared 10 different cardio machines, the step mill—the kind that has a revolving staircase you climb—burned an average of 354 calories in 30 minutes, the second-most among the different exercises studied. The only machine that beat it was the treadmill, but not by much: Exercising at a similar intensity, treadmill exercisers burned 378 calories.
Only Speed or Resistance Can Be Changed
On a step mill, the type of StairMaster with steps that rotate, the height of the stairs can’t be adjusted. For some exercisers with knee issues, Arent says, this can cause some discomfort.
If you’re using an older-style stepper, where the foot pads connect to the machine by metal arms and go up and down, you can shorten your steps, he says, to find a range that doesn’t cause knee discomfort.
More Challenging
For some exercisers, this is a pro, but for others, the challenge of bounding up stairs is a deterrent. The solution, Koziol says: Go slower. Walking at an incline on a treadmill is tough at a slow speed, and so is climbing stairs. If your heart rate is elevated, you’re getting a good workout—even if it’s not as fast as you’d run.
It Can Get Repetitive
Like the treadmill, the scenery doesn’t change when you’re on the stair climber. It can get boring.
Treadmill Running
James Ryang
Great Workouts to Do On the Stairmaster and Treadmill
While both the StairMaster and treadmill work for steady state cardio, there’s more you can do than just hop on either of these machines and move for 30 minutes. Try these variations when incline walking, incline running, or on the StairMaster.
Incline Walk the 12/3/30 Workout
When you increase the incline on a treadmill, Koziol says, the change in difficulty ramps up quickly with each uptick in slope. So even walking slowly provides a serious challenge.
Case in point: His favorite treadmill workout, called “12/3/30.”
“It’s a 12 percent incline at 3 mph for 30 minutes,” he says. Even at this slower pace, the ramp will be a challenge. If it’s too hard, he says, start at a slightly lower incline and work your way up.
Incline Walking or Running Intervals: Challenge yourself for 30 seconds
High-intensity interval training (HIIT), where bouts of high-intensity work are alternated with lower-intensity work or rest, is a time-efficient way to burn calories on either machine. These workouts go by quickly, Peel says, and work up a great sweat with less repetitive ruminating than a steady-state bout.
Set the speed and incline at a level where you’ll be challenged for 30 seconds, Peel says. After 30 seconds of work, step to the sides of the belt to recover for 30 seconds. Repeat for 10 to 20 rounds.
StairMaster Intervals: Use Resistance/Levels
Koziol loves the StairMaster for interval training. For easier efforts, he says, set the StairMaster at a level where you’re walking very slowly up the stairs—almost like you’re trudging. This could be a level 3 on the StairMaster for many exercisers.
“There is no ‘too slow’ here,” he says.
For the harder efforts, set it at a level, probably between 6 to 10, where it’s like you’re rushing up the stairs (imagine you’re late for a meeting, and the elevator’s on the fritz).
Perform seven rounds of 1 minute of the hard effort, followed by the easy effort for the same amount of time. Try this workout on its own for a cardio day, or at the end of your strength workout.
StairMaster vs Treadmill: Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better for fat loss?
Either one will work well. There is no “best” cardio method for burning fat. Studies have found that for maximum fat burning during exercise, people with more than 35 percent body fat will burn the most working between 61 to 66 percent of their maximum heart rate. People with body fat percentages below 35 will burn the most between 57 to 64 percent of their max heart rate.
While you’ll burn more fat during cardio workout at these lower intensities, studies have shown that when the amount of work done is evened out, there’s very little difference in calories and fat burned over a 24-hour period with high vs low-intensity cardio.
Should I hold on to the handles?
Only if you need to balance. Holding on significantly reduces how difficult both the treadmill and StairMaster are since they reduce the amount of body weight you need to move, Arent says. To maximize your results and simultaneously train your core to hold you upright, keep your hands off the handles if you can.
Is running on a treadmill the same as running outside?
For running form, no. Running on the treadmill can cause you to strike with your heels, Pignataro says, resulting in jarring impacts. And at higher speeds, he says, running on the treadmill isn’t so much running as it is skipping or bouncing on a moving belt.
From the perspective of the number of calories you’ll burn, running outside and on a treadmill are pretty close, though. In a 2019 meta-analysis, scientists found that when running on the treadmill—even without an incline—study participants used as much oxygen as they did for outdoor running at speeds up to six minutes per mile.
Catfish host Nev Schulman is an avid runner with several New York City Marathons under his belt. But a nasty bike accident on Aug. 5 left his neck broken and his dreams of running the race for a seventh time in question. That hasn't stopped him from making a miraculous recovery.
Schulman will be running this year's marathon on Nov. 3, less than three months after breaking his neck. He won't be doing it alone, though; he's registered as a blind runner guide for his friend, elite para-triathlete Francesco Magisano, through the Achilles International Foundation.
The TV host recounted his road to recovery and his preparation for this year's race in a new interview with People.
"About two weeks after the accident, he texted me, ‘How are you feeling?' I said, ‘I'm feeling terrible, and you should probably look for a new guide,'" Schulman remembered. "He said, ‘Nev, I'm not going to find a new guide. Take your time, get better. And I don't care how fast or slow we go, I really want you to be my guide.' And honestly, this was a very inspiring part of my recovery."
Magisano's attitude pushed him to try to get running again as quickly as possible. "I’m in a brace. I'm laying in bed. I am devastated for a million reasons. And for the first time I’m thinking, 'Okay, wait a second. Maybe there's a chance if he's counting on me,'" he said.
Schulman shocked his doctors and nurses when he started walking around the ICU just three days after the accident. "I knew how lucky I was and it gave me a lot of hope," he said. Still, as he spent weeks at home resting up, he could feel his hours of training going down the drain.
"I kept thinking, ‘All that hard work I did is sort of fading away,'" he said. "But I also understood that I should just be patient and know that this little bit of time that I'm taking to let my body heal is far more important than anything else."
"I need to move my body for my own mental health," he added. "Running, as I discovered in my 30s, is the best medicine for my happiness. So that was such a huge relief for me and really gave me a big surge of energy and optimism."
With just eight weeks before the race, Schulman and Magisano were able to get into shape for the big day.
"My body really bounced back," he said. "The first few runs were obviously tough, I was going at a much slower pace than I would normally go and working much harder than I would normally work. But once got some momentum going, by the third or fourth run I really felt strong again. I’m not 100 percent, but I feel great, honestly."
Schulman and Magisano hit the streets for the NYC Marathon on Nov. 3.

It doesn't seem as though Channing Tatum will find much sympathy from his ex-wife Jenna Dewan following his split from fiancée Zoë Kravitz. Shortly after the news broke that the couple had ended their engagement on Tuesday, Dewan's fiancé Steve Kazee appeared to take quite the victory lap.
Posting to his Instagram story, the 48-year-old actor wrote "HAHAHAHA" all-caps in white letters on a black background, completely filling up the screen.
As the gossip mill kicked into overdrive on Wednesday and people started talking about the post, Kazee seemed to reference it in a follow-up story. "A guy can't laugh about a houseplant TikTok in today's world I see," he wrote, seemingly nodding to an unrelated video he posted to his stories later on Tuesday.
Petty, perhaps. But it's also not surprising that Kazee would feel that way. He and the 43-year-old actress have been an item since October 2018, just six months after Tatum and Dewan announced they were separating. Kazee has subsequently been by Dewan's side through her acrimonious, six-year divorce proceedings with Tatum, which were only just recently finalized last month. Kazee and Dewan likewise share two children together; their daughter was born in June.
In any case, there is clearly no love lost between the former spouses. Back in April, Tatum asked a judge to terminate spousal support for his estranged wife after "numerous attempts to settle the dispute out of court" had failed. The financial dispute involved profits made of Magic Mike, which the 44-year-old filmed during the marriage.
For her part, Dewan claims they both contributed financially to the project and that Tatum and his business manager "hid and downplayed the value" of the film.
Tatum and Dewan also share a daughter together, Everly, 11, so perhaps the former couple will be able to put aside their differences eventually for the sake of their child.
On Oct. 27, Dwyane Wade's legacy with the Miami Heat was cemented in history with the unveiling of a new bronze statue outside the team's Kaseya Center home, making Wade the first Heat player in history to be memorialized in metal. But the statue quickly drew criticism online for its lack of resemblance to the three-time NBA champ.
Now, the statue's sculptors are speaking out in regard to any negative reactions. When asked about the backlash against his work, artist Omri Amrany stood by his creation. "I couldn’t do better than that. I don’t think anybody else can do better than that," he told Miami sports reporter Will Manso. "It is what it is, and we will love it forever."
Amrany and co-sculptor Oscar León stated plainly that they did their best. "At the end of the day we want to do the best job possible with human hands," they explained.
"I want to be an artist that creates an in-your-face response and you cannot expect all of human society will have a positive reaction," the Israeli-born Amrany told Front Office Sports. "Some people will come with a goofy response or angry response. That’s not because of what the art is itself, but rather how it makes them feel. So, if this is my part of being a psychologist, fine."
Wade, for his part, is well aware of the jokes that have been made about the statue and its apparent resemblance to actor Laurence Fishburne.
“The social media world is about opinions. Everyone has an opinion," he told reporters. "Send some memes. We don’t care. It was a special moment yesterday, my family and I."
"It doesn't need to look like me; it's an artistic version of a moment that happened that we're trying to cement," he added. The statue depicts Wade's famous "This is my house" celebration from a 2009 victory over the Chicago Bulls. "I appreciate all the comments that everyone has because I'm in on the joke, guys, like I laugh all the time. I'm cool. I saw some memes of it; it's kinda got a little Laurence Fishburne lower jawline."
Dwyane Wade speaking pre-game about the reaction to his statue. He’s read the comments, and some have made him laugh. But he has a great attitude about it:

Up-and-coming Italian skiing star Matilde Lorenzi has died at the age of 19 after a training session on Oct. 29 went tragically awry.
According to TMZ, Lorenzi, a member of the Italian Army's sports section, was completing a training run on the Grawand G1 slope in Italy's Val Senales valley when she lost control and suffered a devastating head injury. She was taken to the hospital by helicopter where she was later pronounced dead.
The International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) issued a statement grieving Lorenzi's sudden passing.
"We are deeply saddened by the passing of Matilde Lorenzi, as announced by the Italian Ministry of Defense, who conveyed heartfelt condolences for the 19-year-old athlete of the Italian Army," the statement read, per Powder. "FIS joins FISI President Flavio Roda and the entire Italian winter sports community in mourning, including coaches, athletes, teammates, the federal council, and all FISI staff."
"FISI is in mourning, standing by her family, friends, and everyone who cherished Matilde, honoring her memory today and always," the statement concluded.
Acclaimed American skiers Lindsey Vonn and Mikaela Shiffrin were among those sharing their condolences on Instagram. "This is a tragic loss. Sending my thoughts to her family," Vonn said; Shiffrin similarly sent "So much love to her family, friends, and teammates."
Lorenzi was the Italian junior overall champion and Super-G champion last year. Her sister Lucrezia, also a competitive alpine skier, mourned the loss on her Instagram Stories. "With great sorrow I announce that our Mati has left us," she wrote, detailing where fans in Italy can pay their respects this week.
Dwyane Wade's legacy with the Miami Heat is unmatched, so it's no surprise that the three-time NBA champ was the first Heat player to be honored with their own statue outside the Kaseya Center. But the unveiling ceremony on Oct. 27 quickly became the subject of jokes online.
Many fans felt the statue looks nothing like the Heat legend, with some remarking that it looks more like Laurence Fishburne than Dwyane Wade. "[It] looks like a zombie Laurence Fishburne about to chomp on a human," one person wrote on X; another commented on Instagram "That ain't Wade; that's Morpheus from [The] Matrix."

ESPN NFL reporter Jeff Darlington chimed in on social media adding to the chorus. "The Miami Heat should’ve had a contest where they showed this picture to 1,000 fans, and anyone who guesses it’s Dwyane Wade gets to keep the statue," he said.

Sports commentator Bill Simmons didn't hold back his thoughts on the matter on the Oct. 27 episode of The Bill Simmons Podcast.
“The biggest loser of the day was Dwyane Wade who had the worst statue of all time," he said. "It looked like somebody who had emerged from a fire and lived. It was like Jim Carrey’s [Fire Marshal Bill] sketch [on In Living Color]. Can you imagine having a statue look that bad of yourself being unveiled? What would you even say? ‘Uh, thanks?'
"There’s never been a worse sports statue ever," he added.
Commenters on the video similarly saw the Laurence Fishburne resemblance, saying the statue "looks like Morpheus being tortured by the agents before Neo and Trinity rescue him."
For his part, Wade was overwhelmed by the love while also quipping about the statue's appearance. "That's crazy; who is that guy?" he said after the statue made its big debut.
Dwayne Wade has priceless reaction after looking at his new statue, which looks nothing like him.
"This is crazy," he told the crowd after the unveiling, per CNN. "I wanted to feel this. Life goes by so fast and it’s very rare that we get to feel things, because we’re always off to the next thing… I wanted to feel this, man. I wanted to look at it."
It's not the only NBA player statue to be roasted recently. Back in April, Philadelphia 76ers star Allen Iverson was memorialized with a statue, though many observers believed the statue was too small to honor an NBA giant. By contrast, Wade's bronze statue stands at over eight feet tall.
