No Fleur, you can't stay on the floor......the view from down there can't be what it is up here...

It is when the laptop is propped up against your face with a pillow.
This could be my Olympic event!

Possible that this is a really good time for him. Between jobs but WITH a job and promoting a movie... which might be kinda fun... not that I have a clue about that. But don't you always LOVE that feeling In-Between jobs? You have finished one and moved on successfully to another, where you don't yet have any actual responsibility?

I always liked that... :cloud9:

Yeah, I can see that. On a professional level, he's got a new gig with H50 AND the buzz is good about it. Spending a few weeks in Hawaii can't be too hard to take either, although he will be working. BUP is looking good as well. God only knows what else he signed up for - maybe another movie?

So why not go out for a spin on the bike - after he starts shooting, his contract might prohibit him from doing that (as it did for Moonlight).

Really? He wasn't allowed to ride a bike while shooting ML? :confused2:

And ohhhh, Dark, had not thought about "what else he is signed up for." Ohhhhh! Maybe he is contracted to do something else too! Another movie would be cool. I like your thinking. :yes:

It could have been because motorcycles are screaming machines of death, and the last thing a show needs is a dead or severely maimed star.

But DSR's right - Alex is just...Alex in this pic. And, as Fleur said to me earlier, he is ALL man in it. :teeth:

Nope - would have been hard to explain a vampire with a broken arm or leg.....

Yeah, I could put up with another movie (seriously, who am I kidding? I'd kill to see him in another movie.) :biggrin:

What a gorgeous pic! And yes, it's Alex just being Alex and I love that! He looks like all is right in his world. Thank you so much for this!

:thanks:

....just like he is in your avi, PGal. Thankfully you did not mention the other (possibly non PG) things that I may have mentioned to you re: that photo and my reaction to it!

I know that would be shocking for some of you to think that I have non PG thoughts about Alex. It happens so rarely.

I think we also need to be grateful to Mr. Bikeman, who runs that blog. When he posted, with some bemusement, some months ago that this unknown-to-him actor Alex O'Loughlin, brought a bike in to be worked on, he had NO idea he'd just jumped into the fast lane of internet traffic.

But bless him, turns out he reacts to his own market research, and now he seems to be providing pics just for us. He's a pretty cool guy, no?
