I just went and read the GQ article again and watched the ET interview and I thought he was great. He started out the GQ interview with the naughty word but other then that it was a fantastic article and the interviewers used the word as well soooo....and the interview with ET she mentioned him being naked 3 times and kept bringing it up. And when she asked about twitter he did not flip out at all. He said he is just not good at it and finds it a bit voyeuristic, which it is. The interview did not end abruptly it ended in a very friendly double high five. I am not sure why people see things so differently.

@drats...the #4 one you mentioned did not go like that at all. I did not find him to be flirting with her at all and he did not say the naked thing in a flirty obscene way. She asked him if he has ever done that move naked and he answered her....she was the flirt in that interview.
As for the other things you mentioned I suppose it is all in how you take it. I usually find he is very pleasant and professional in his interviews and the only flirting I ever really see is the woman who are supposed to be professional and just ask him questions but they have to be all flirty. I find them more annoying then anything.

I saw an interview where he admitted that one of his biggest flaws was his cursing. Have you seen bloopers before, or seen "Inside the actors studio", thats 90% of the actors today dropping the "F bomb" amoung others every chance they get. I never met AOL, he could be the sweetest person in the world, or he could be the biggest jerk. I'm sure he has his good and bad days. I don't intend on meeting any celebrity, pro sports figure, or any other type of public person.
I hope that I have enough grip on reality to know that they are human beings, and also try not to take what they say so personally. Everyone interprets things differently. Sometimes we need to look in the mirror.
Pressures to be perfect all the time can take a toll on anyone.
I guess if you are still looking at all the interviews, he must not be so bad.
I love Alex. Totally crushing on that man however....I've watched alot of his interviews recently and v unimpressed.
1.) I remember one the uncut one with ET Canada, where he blows up at the lady for asking him about Twitter with x rated language. She looked mortified.
2.) Then theres the GQ interview where he uses the C word, which for me as a woman is deeply offensive.
3.)Then theres the charity thing he DDK and Scott attended at some elementary school where you can hear him clearly asking the kids in the most cheeky of voices "and where does manure come from". Daniel had to swing in to save that one.
4.)No doubt the interviewers flirt with him but he flirts back in the most obscene of ways for instance when he told an interviewer that he will show her the volcan grip later but he has to be naked to do it cause hes "most dangerous when he's naked". That particular gem freaked the publicist so much she ended the interview.
5.) When another interviewer says he is not soft ref

@Tamara..I sometimes wonder if I lived under a rock cause once I discovered him on H50 I was like WOW!!! Then I found out he has been around for a while and had two shows that I never even heard of. What is wrong with me??? ha ha!! I have made up for lost time and have watched as much of his work as I can in two months. I caught some moonlight on Youtube. I think he is so much cuter now...I am not a fan of the long hair on him. He almost looks like a different person. I think he is one the most talented if not the most talented actor around today. It takes alot to impress me and he has!!
I love his interviews too, he is very funny. Plus I think I have watched the season 1 bloopers at least 20 times...he cracks me up each and every time with the "whats my line??, what my line?? whats my line??? He is hilarious!!

I'm a Moonlight fan a Three Rivers fan a BIG Fan of Alex O'Loughlin for a few years now and he NEVER! dissapointed me he is always very nice to his fans tried to answer ever christmas card he get! and is a great Ambassador for Donate Life America for sure if he have said anything wrong he would have apologize for it Alex have said many times how gratfull he is to have this job and love to live in Hawaii which still is America he even bought a house there he feels home. @Stacey Alex don't need a humble pill I never saw anyone more humble then Alex maybe you need one!!

@Stacey..well to be fair I am new to the alex o fan club. I just discovered H50 2 months ago and ran out to buy the whole first season and have watched it twice already. I rented the oyster farmer as well and I think he is such a great actor. But because of that it is possible I have not seen a change cause I really did not know about him before.
I can see how becoming more of a known celebrity may have that affect. I almost wonder if it is inevitable since they kind of lose their privacy. I am sure he is far less accessible now to his fans and I can understand how that would be upsetting. I can understand how the longstanding AOL fans might feel.

@Tamara..thanks!! I have not heard anything about 2.13 yet so I was suprised you have 2.14 info. Let me know what you find out.
The cbs site has some stuff on episodes but not anything confirmed. I thought epi 14 was gonna be her last. Didnt she arrive on epi 2 and signed for 12? Lets hope!!
I guess we better buckle up..its gonna be a bumpy ride for us lori haters!!!

@ Stacey...Hey, if you don't like him, that's fine, you have that right. But just because my opinion is different from yours does not mean that I am making excuses for anyone. I believe he did not mean anything by that and that is my right.
I don't agree with people who like the Lori character, but that does not mean that I don't respect their right to disagree. I'm happy for you that you have never been misunderstood or said anything that was taken out of context.
By the way, his girlfriend, who I am sure he has been seeing for awhile, is an American and who he claims to love. So why would he piss off her family and a entire country. He understands that this is where his career would take off, that is why he worked so hard to get here. How many Americans have pissed off other countries by saying things that were misunderstood?

December 1st, 2011 12:04 PM
@Stacey...this is the first time I have ever had to make an excuse for AOL. He is very loved by his fans and that is for a reason. You took it as an insult and some of us didn't. I am not one to give two hoots for any celebrity, I think they are all way too hyped and full of themselves. I was impressed with Alex and I thought when he talks he is humble. I dont get that he thinks he is all that and that is what I like about him. To each his own. I like that he seems so down to earth.
I am quite sure we have all said things that we may not have meant and how would we feel if it was captured on camera. Sometimes things come out wrong. I personally did not find it insulting in the least!
Stacey
December 1st, 2011 12:00 PM
@Amazing Alex and Zia,
Alex was insulting to the Americans and there is no excuse for it. He said we don't get irony and some of the irony from the show is lost on us. What? I thought Americans wrote the show and put the irony in it. Hello?
He needs to take a humble pill. He has changed into something I don't recognize any more. He is being paid by Americans and lives in America. He'd be smart to remember that. Why do Alex fans always make a million excuses for everything he does?

OK, here's how I see it: In the final episode of the season, Kono will have had enough of this scrawny blonde and open up a can of whoopass on her. She will end up in a tide pool somewhere covered with opihi's and won't remember anything that happened in the last year... :)

@John...I totally get the frustration. I have been on the brink of not watching because of lori too. But then I realized there is no way she is a keeper. They must see that. They are getting tons of negative feedback about her character. I just decided to watch in spite of her and enjoy this fantastic show. I would hate for me to be part of the ratings to go down. AOL, Grace Park, Scott Caan, and Daniel Dae Kim deserve better then that from us fans. They didn't hire her, why should they suffer because of one person.
I agree with you that it is highly possible she has not had her contract extended, I just tell myself she may be on for the full season to prepare myself for the worse case scenario.
John
December 1st, 2011 11:05 AM
I probably won't quit watching I do want the show to stay on for a long long time, but frustration sometimes sets in. I for one think she will be gone after her 12 eps are up, usually they announce if a contract is extended fairly early. I may be wrong hope not. If they do keep her on I hope they at least remove her from the team and place her in some other roll, that would not be my first choice but would be acceptable.

@Zia.. I agree with you. I dont get cocky from him at all. Every interview he has done he seems hard on himself not full of himself. I think he is a nice guy. He has a fantastic sense of humor too.
I did not get that he has a problem with americans from that interview at all. He loves Hawaii, moved there even..... and that is america!!

Alex is not getting cocky. We all say things that are taken out of context and say things that we wish we could take back. He has a good heart from what I see and always talks about giving back to the community.

Well I am going to keep watching but still send my complaints to cbs about lori. I am not going to be part of hurting a show I love so much. I truly believe lori is not going to stay on the team for much longer. There is no way she will become a core part of this show. They have already changed the direction of her as she was brought on as a love interest for steve. There has been no signs that they are going forward with that. That in of itself shows that even if they are keeping her a bit longer they are reigning back her role.
ALex O Loughlin is the star of this show and that is not going to change as per Mikes comment. AOL is becoming a huge commodity in hollywood and H50 will not screw up having him as the lead. He also has some say in his character and has said repeatedly he is like a baby with a rattle when it comes to the writing for steve. He protects that character and he will make sure the fans get what they want. When Lori is gone Kono will get her screentime ba

Wait a minute. Do you think Kono-Grace Park is leaving the show for the Canadian show? Her husband does live in Canada. I only watch the show for her and a little for Scott Caan. Alex has gotten a little to cocky for my taste nowadays. If Kono leaves the show, so do I!!!!
