The soundtrack from the The Greatest Showman has been playing nonstop on the headphones of people all across the world ever since it came out. Indeed, the music was pretty sensational, but that doesn’t mean the movie was very historically accurate.

Apparently the romance between ringmaster P.T. Barnum and singer Jenny Lind was virtually nonexistent, as was the existence of Zac Efron’s and Zendaya’s characters. In addition, there are those who say that Barnum’s character was portrayed in a much better light in the movie.

There are a number of interesting inaccuracies in Cool Runnings that we’re betting you didn’t expect. For instance, their coach, Irv Blitzer, was not a real person. They were actually coached by a team of trainers.

In addition, they were treated a lot nicer upon arrival to the Olympics – which is completely the opposite of how it went down in the movie. They were heckled nonstop in the movie by rival countries, but in real life they were actually given a very warm welcome.
