I love this clip from the movie, The Holiday.  Alex O’Loughlin is in the movie for all of 30 seconds so you don’t need to go out and rent it or anything, but damn, it is a hot 30 seconds! Pretty, pretty man!

If you’re an Alex O’Loughlin fan, don’t forget that August Rush opens in theatres tomorrow. Alex is playing the brother of Jonathan Rhys Meyers’ character in the movie.  And he plays guitar! Not sure how big his part in this is, but I’m sure he’ll have at least a few good scenes.

Here’s an intriquing bit of info about Alex O’Loughlin and his matriculation at NIDA.

But how did Alex get there, via a story which could be entitled, How Not To Get to NIDA? He was the bad boy of high school and college that many teachers would recognise. Actually, they won’t because his name is not in the records, not just because he often wasn’t in school (and never did drama past primary). Alex needed to escape a Canberra which did nothing for him before he changed his life, and his name.

I would seriously love to know more what that’s all about, but it probably explains the tattoos quite a bit *g*. You can read the rest of the article here. The last five paragraphs are about Alex.

NIDA is Australia’s pre-eminent dramatic arts institute.

Someone over at moonlightline.com found this very funny tv commercial for tampons, featuring Alex O’Loughlin. I never thought I’d be saying “adorable” about a tv commercial *g*

Alex O’Loughlin and his co-star on Moonlight, Sophia Myles, made the list for TV Guide’s show, TV’s Hottest New Faces. It airs again on Nov 11th, 16th and 23rd, but you can watch a clip of Alex here.
