Alex is going to have to sharpen his interview game ie come up with new ways of saying things. He can be repetitive (I know, most actors can be) but the PR junket for Tarzan will be huge. IMHO he could hone those skills and learn to freshen up his answers a bit.

Same goes for his private life. He can be #awkward about it in interviews. Which is fine but I agree..for the Tarzan PR it should be he talks about it in some small way or not at all, if you get my drift. If they play tic-tac-toe with the press ie getting papped or what have you during the PR tour, I think he should at least acknowledge her. It will be really odd if he didn't, even in a small way.

If he's not prepared to do that, agree - Alexa shouldn't be there. If only because some reporter will throw him a curveball about her and Alex will def.get #awkward.


Agree it must be difficult for him he is a very private person but I'm sure he enjoys having her around obviously. She is with him in LA right now and there has not been one pap shot of them so they are getting pretty good at avoiding the press considering they have been dating for a year and only a few pap pics have surfaced.

Yes, I think you are right about Alex coming up with new ways of saying things, but it can't be easy on those press junkets when basically he's asked the same question over and over, and the same re-printed quotes appear on so many websites and publications around the world.

If Alexa is in the same city as him at any of the prems, he definitely has to carefully consider his strategy.




I agree, I think Alex was genuinely proud of Diary, and rightly so. It seemed to be a friendly and close-knit film set, and it definitely showed in his answers which I thought he handled adeptly.

I'm not particularly worried about how Alex handles the Tarzan promotions either, as he definitely gives the interviewers his full attention and even answers the most inane questions politely.

I'm presuming that Alexa will want to support him, work schedule allowing. However, even if he asks that his dating life be off limits, someone will probably ask anyway. Unlike during the promotion of Straw Dogs, where KB was his co-star and was going to get mentioned anyway, his dating life has nothing to do with Tarzan or its promotion. So if he doesn't want to talk about it, at all, he's going to have to politely shut that line of questioning down. As he usually tries to do.
As for repetitiveness, yeah he's going to get bored as he'll probably get the same 5 questions over and over and over again. He knows this. And it'll be boring for us, but the reality is, for a lot of the intended audience, this may be their first time really paying attention to him, so it might not be boring for them.
 
I think the tiredness is less travel than long hours on the set of Big Little Lies.

The Guardian has WOE as one of their films to watch for (as well as Commune, in which Fares has a supporting role).

War on Everyone
New Mexico’s the playground for crooked cops Terry and Bob (Alexander Skarsgård and Michael Peña), who seesaw between triumph and disaster on a boozy, druggy quest to fight crime by doing most of it themselves. Peña and Skarsgård team up as The Guard director John Michael McDonagh’s latest odd couple.
