Dada is in Spain so is Alex also there? Last Alex published by Katarina kyrkahttps://www.festicket.com/festivals/mad-cool-festival/2019/

As a general rule, yes.
But Dada does in fact have a life outside being with Alex all the time, and last summer he was in Spain for two weeks without Alex. So it's quite possible that this trip to Spain is also a solo trip.
Rexdanger's publication was in the Swedish language Katarina kyrka may be that is in Sweden.. He doesn't always know where he isAs a general rule, yes.

Alex was posting from a Sodermalm church graveyard. Odds are he's back home.
I'm just waiting to see if alex is coming up with new projects or is he unemployed these days? Last Glastonbury Festival and From there by Armani show Paris and from there Germany in Berlin and now Sweden
I have heard this complaint about him whenever he's had a few months off. He's been working almost nonstop for a few years. And even when he was not working, he was actively promoting one project or another.
He's allowed time off. Most major actors don't manage to put out even one film per year. There's so much that has to fall together for a project to first get greenlit and then successfully filmed and distributed to theaters. And that's just the ones that don't fail sometime during the process. Actors do juggle several potential projects at a time and sometimes will gamble on waiting for a particular project they prefer.
Or they just take some time off because they want some down time. He always talks about how many scripts he receives. He's not unemployed. He's just having a small break in what has been nonstop
Exactly. He has been working non-stop. If people follow the careers of other actors as closely, they will see that Alex has actually been busier than most. And especially now that the movie industry is in a state of flux with streaming becoming more prevalent and indies struggling more than ever. It has to be so frustrating to work hard on a film, only to see it have little chance of breaking through.
Is not meant to complain (just asked only) but I realized that the actor must have a vacation / break from acting. I don't always know where alex goes I try to stay behind
I don’t take what you said as complaining, and I agree with you. Ok, everyone else, before you jump on me for just disagreeing with you, go back and look up the start and finish dates of his recent films,(like I did) and consider how little screen time he has had in some of the things this year, and I think you will find he has not been as super busy as you think. He had some time off before little drummer girl. Little drummer girl wrapped in July 2018. Since then it was 3-4 months on Kong and it can’t have been more than a few weeks on bll based on how little screen time he’s has (3 minutes? 5?) and maybe a cameo on the New Orleans thing.
I’m not saying this is good or bad, I’m just saying that he hasn’t been filming nonstop for the last couple years, it is just something that persists because he did it at one point. He did for a couple years in 2016 and 2017, and now he isn’t, and hasn’t been for a while. He also has nothing much in his pipeline of things to film.
Also, he has been busy overall the last 5 years, but for a while he was the hot thing and then he had the post bll bump. If you look at the pipelines of some other actors at his level, he is currently on the low end for numbers of projects he is on. Most have at least 3 or 4. Hope for him something comes up, assuming he wants it to.
We have been keeping track of his filming and so we actually do have a good idea of how much he has been filming. And for most of his projects, he actually has a lot of screen time. Here are the facts:
Firstly, he was filming before The Little Drummer Girl. Right before filming The Little Drummer Girl, he filmed The Kill Team and then went right into filming The Hummingbird Project and filmed Long Shot while filming The Hummingbird Project. He was a lead in both The Kill Team (expected to be released this fall) and The Hummingbird Project.
After filming those movies non-stop, he then filmed The Little Drummer Girl for about 6 months. He was a lead in The Little Drummer Girl. Then he went into filming his part for Big Little Lies, which was not a few weeks as he was there for 2 months. (Meryl Streep said he filmed with her and we have not yet seen that part. Also, we saw filming pictures of him and Nicole on the beach which we have not yet seen.) Then he filmed Godzilla vs. Kong which was more than 3-4 months of filming. He filmed this in Hawaii during the last few months of 2018. Then filming for Godzilla vs. Kong resumed in Australia until May 2019. Once again, he is a lead.
And when he was not filming, he had to promote a lot of projects. The Aftermath, The Hummingbird Project and Long Shot have already come out this year. He was a lead in both The Aftermath and The Hummingbird Project. He also promoted The Kill Team when it was at a film festival this year, where he is a lead again. So he was a lead in The Aftermath, The Hummingbird Project, The Little Drummer Girl, The Kill Team and Godzilla vs. Kong. He also appeared in Long Shot and is currently appearing in Big Little Lies. He has been pretty busy and is a lead in most of his projects. Even Entertainment Weekly and other industry trades have said he is in hot demand and filming non-stop.
^ So true. I'll add on a bit. This isn't the first time we've had similar discussions. He never mentions projects ahead of time, so we really have no idea what's in his pipeline. I love his recent industry recognition. It does mean we'll get to see him in upcoming projects. That's a positive effect of fame. Despite that, he has never sought to be the "big" star. He selects his projects based on how they appeal to him (good cast, talented director, appealing script, something offbeat or different).
I'm certain he sees his father as an inspiration for his career. And Stellan has worked steadily in his career, often not the lead, but an interesting supporting character. Stellan once mentioned that he works in the occasional Hollywood film to finance his ability to work in indies. Also Stellan said that he had told Alex that it was going to be hard for Alex to take character roles with leading man looks. So Alex must have been discussing what he wants from his career. That's why I think it's pointless to somehow measure his career success on anyone else, except possibly his father, and that can only be realistically done when Alex is in his sixties.
I've been a fan of Alex since before he started in True Blood. I was a fan of the Southern Vampire Mysteries and some fellow book fans pointed to Alex in Gen Kill since he was going to be Eric. He was amazing, and I became a fan. So I've seen these artificial measures comparing him to other actors. I've seen these complaints about brief shooting lulls in his career. It's all pointless since these are not standards he's applying to himself. And because he won't remain idle for too long.
One last random thing. Why would he post something on IG to fool us about his location? I can see him being delayed in posting something for a million reasons, but not to deliberately mislead us. He certainly moves around a lot, and he frequently surprises us about his locale. But why fool us?

Ok, I understand the difference. Some of your dates are incorrect. All of the dates below are per the ig accounts of directors, producers, costars, or per local or industry news articles.
If you have others sources that dispute these filming dates, please post.
Remember, I didn’t say he was not doing anything, just that when you corrected the other poster and insisted he has been filming nonstop for the last year it was not correct. Also remember that I did not say it was good or bad. You seem to be the one who is so bent by the idea he isn’t working nonstop.
We will start in December 2017.
He wrapped hummingbird on 12/10/17 per his ig
He had approx 4 to 6 weeks off
Ldg filming 2/1/18 - 6/4/18 per ig wrap party
Bll some part of 6 /10/18 to 8/17/18 per rw ig of wrap
Approx 3 months off
Godzilla Hawaii 11/12/18 to ? 12/21/18 (cast took a pic that day for Hawaii wrap but he isn’t in it so not sure if he was still there)
1 month off
Godzilla Australia. 1/18/19 - 3/15/18 (per his comments to local press and fact he went to Nepal the next week)
Godzilla finished filming in Hong Kong a month later, but he was not sighted filming there.
4 months off since then
So if you add it up, since mid August if last year, he has only filmed 4 months, probably less as His part has been small in bll. Maybe a week or two more if he is in the New Orleans thing.
Before you go off on me saying he was doing press the rest of the time... yes, he went to tiff last year. That’s a week. He did one location press and premiere for aftermath (London) and bll(ny). But none of his movies have had big press rollouts with worldwide stuff since Tarzan.
So that’s 4 months of busy, five if you count the time between Hawaii and Aust. Approx 8 months off.
Again, I didn’t say there was anything wrong there. But hopefully they find something for him soon. But he only has one movie coming up, his dad has i think 5 and bill has 6, for perspective.
