This week's choice movie clips take inspiration from perspiration, as the stars show they're only human. By Josh Du Sautoy
Summer is finally upon us, get ready for a season of all the usual: beer gardens, sunburn and buckets of sweat. Apologies for the bluntness, but sweat is simply a by-product of all that heat. While there may be some lucky enough to have perennially dry armpits, there'll be the rest of us caked in the stuff, cooped up in our offices with only a malfunctioning fan to help us stem the tide.
Similar to emotional escape, cinema also provides us with a cool haven away from the heat outside. Sitting down in a (hopefully) airconditioned auditorium, we can forget about our stains for an hour or two, before venturing out into the blazing sun once more.
But what's this? Apparently those up there on the silver screen are real people who sweat too!
