The shot reminds me of when Alex was insistant that Mick's collars had to be flipped up?

Since Alex is not yet known in Greece.. (god,!!!!) I have never ever seen a magazine with a cover of him on in the stands (not even an article , or photo of him!!!)... feels like I am gonna faint when this happens!!

!!!!!!!!

I don't know how Officer808 got it, but he has scans of the article at the bottom of his H50 facebook photo album. I gave up trying to read the article; it's just too small.

But you can see the first photo on his blog here

There's a link there to the photo album. For those concerned about spoilers, the article is at the bottom of the photos. Right before it are photos taken on set for the episode they are currently filming which could be construed as spoilery. Zip to the bottom and work your way back to avoid.

I was able to read the article, on my ipad, and it's a very poignant interview. He reveals some vulnerabilities, he had some real anxieties about doing this show (as we knew) because he so feared another failure, he doesn't blame himself for the shows that didn't work (as he shouldn't) but he knows how H'wood works, and he is a bit of a private person who is actually very uncomfortable in the limelight, but does it cuz he's a good sport. He also wasn't sure here and there whether to trust the interviewer to make him, as he put it, look like a "c***". He understands his words can be twisted. He also clearly has had a life where he's had to work twice as hard to get where he's at... the childhood ADD and OCD were apparently somewhat traumatic at times and he was at some point expelled from school, and then quit too. I think he was maybe really misunderstood as a kid. And he gets overwhelmed by the attention sometimes. And he resolutely refused to talk about his family.

But he is most grateful for what he has... tho also a bit uncertain about where his career might go after this. He does not want to be typecast with this and isn't sure how marketable he'll be after this.

He seems funny, happy, open, but also gun shy and a guy who has not had an easy life... as "easy" as it is now, that isn't his history. He comes off as a good guy.

No surprise.

Perhaps someone who has the techie skills to enlarge the print might copy it for others? Cuz, I can't do that... Duh, NOT winning!
I guess I don't got tiger Vatican assassin blood...
But it's an article worth reading if you're an Alex fan.

Thanks so much for the summary grace!

I look forward to reading it myself after someone else posts something a bit more readable once the magazine is more available.

Thanks so much for the link, Rhonda, and for the summary, grace! I think I'll wait for better scans... I tried zooming it on my laptop, but I got a big headache after trying to decipher two paragraphs.

Thank you, grace. I'm looking forward to someone transcribing it for the non-aussie fans.

Someone on 6DAOL found this slideshow with the article. It also has one more picture.

Since it moves so quickly, I did screen shots, loaded them into paint and zoomed to 200% and was able to mostly read the article. It was slow going because the quality was still so fuzzy.

[allegrita]

I'm not home now, but I'll try to transcribe the article later, and post it. These are much better quality than the ones on FB... Thanks Rhonda!
