The O'Lough...

No words... I have no words...

This man really pushes my runner buttons!
*guh*

This is from the latest issue of Men's Fitness, & he's on the cover, too. (I know what I'll be buying as soon as we land in the US next month. *g*)

I loved this bit:
'But the actor has also discovered that island living has its perks. For one thing, he’s finally taken up surfing – a sport he tried when he was 18 but quit after getting caught in a steep, fast break. But this year, he conquered that fear and now frequents the beaches of Diamond Head, Tongs, and Velzyland on the North Shore. “Surfing is my great passion in Hawaii,” he says. “I have a bunch of boards – all of which I ride badly.”

His co-star, Scott Caan, who plays Danny “Danno” Williams on the series, reports otherwise. A longtime surfer, he says that O’Loughlin is progressing “on a very advanced level.” Of course, there’s nothing like sports to bring out competition among cast mates. “Scotty is a machine,” says O’Loughlin. “I’ll never be as good as him. And I’ll never match his jiu-jitsu, either. But if we’re in a ring together – fists and stand-up fighting – I’d lick him standing up.”

Caan laughs when he hears this. “We have a great respect for each other,” he says. “We are completely comfortable working together and going for each other’s throats without worrying that we’ve crossed a line. Alex is a natural leader. He takes control and makes things happen on-set – and in his personal life too. He’s The General, and I think that comes across in this role.”'

He called him Scotty! And Scotty called him The General!
*meep*
They have pet names! ♥
And they went shopping for boards together a few months back, too. Too cute! *g*

EDIT: The mag is 'Men's Fitness' not 'Men's Health'. D-oh! I actually knew that, too - I blame the hotness of The O'Lough for melting my brain! *g* Thanks to cmariad for the heads-up.

Mmm... shirtless O'Lough. Just what I needed today :)

What lovely inspiration!

*thunk*

I don't have runner buttons, but I nearly died looking at these! I only wish we'd had one from the back, as well. Love the little peek of the back tattoo. OMG the look on his face!!! FNNNGGH!! ANd pet names! Surfing!

While your in the US, could you tell him we have great mountain here in Norway? He can run up ahead and I'll just hang back and admire the view. We have great waves, too, so he can bring Scotty (!!) any time :D

Holy -- *flail, thud*

Yet again I have to ask: why do I never see anything like that when I'm out running??

[mezzo-cammin.livejournal.com]

That is one hot tamale, right there! Whew.

I can't believe no one has commented on this...

I’d lick him standing up.

Okay, I know he's talking about fighting, and you know he's talking about fighting, but still...

I'd lick him standing up.

OMG, he looks amazing!

He called him Scotty! And Scotty called him The General!

I KNOW!! EEEEEE! Also I loved Scott's comment about Alex being a natural leader. It's something I've always thought, and it's neat to hear Scott himself confirm it. ;-)

I keep getting stuck on this line, though, and imagining something quite different that what Alex probably intends:

"I’d lick him standing up.”

hnnnggghhh.......

Scotty and The General! This made my day 100% better.

I'd lick either one of them--just saying. The man is so sexy...I mean really really hot--not just in a "movie star" way but in the way that you KNOW he's hung like a stallion and amazing in bed. And he knows he is too but isn't thinking "I'm all that and a bag of chips". He's just confident and self-assured and comfortable in his skin. His tanned taut tatted skin. RAWR!

Guh, nrgh! How does he keep getting hotter? Love the interview and the competition and pet names. Those boys make me so happy! The pictures take away all higher brain functions. So hot!!!!

Respectfully making a small correction here. Your entry said that Alex is in Men's Health magazine. He's actually in Men's Fitness magazine.

We have magazines with both names here in the States (they're different magazines) & I wouldn't want anyone to get confused as to which 1 Alex is in & get the wrong 1 (although that probably won't be too hard since Alex is on the cover of the magazine as well).

This isn't a snark. And I hope the info helps.
