^You're right. Forgot about those ones.

I don't think "this" in particular shows a change in attitude because of Tarzan but I wouldn't be surprised either. This is a big film and Alex will need to be more visible.

We do get a fair amount of 'private' Alex pics from his friends and their friends. But this 'how much is for Tarzan (or whatever movie/project he may be currently promoting)' is going to come up. It's come up before with other projects. Is that pap shot part some publicity for Tarzan/WOE/BLL?, that sort of thing.

I'm sure that WB would love for Alex to be on SM, I think of the major actors in this movie only Margot and SLJ are on social media.

This probably came up during his contract negotiations for Tarzan:
WB: How much should we pay you to promote Tarzan on your sm?
Alex: I'm not on sm.
WB: Weirdo.

It's going to be hard for him not to be on it, but he's stubborn. He may want to continue to promote things the old fashioned way: interviews, interviews, more interviews and yet more interviews.

The only problem with that is that he repeats himself in interviews. Fine for indie and small films but these big budget ones he needs to step up his game.

Lol....yep. I mean they all suffer from it to some extent on these massive press junkets, but Alex worse than others.

Any bets on his pet words during the Tarzan PR tour?

"re-imagining", "peeling back the layers"...

I'm hoping that WB's marketing has someone who's gone over, or is going to go over, Alex's interviews and note what he has to work on, which is the words/phrases he gets stuck on. And then works with him on not doing it, no matter how bored he is two hours into the first of the press junkets.
He does fine with good interviewers, but those will be few and far between.

Haha. He used "tonal and tonally" for WOE in Berlin. Free, you did the GF collage, you should do one for his oft used lines for press junkets for his movies. Granted, most people hear one interview but for his fans (like me) who follow him and see all his interviews it does get repetitive. Drinking game time.

Re:drinking game - we'd be hammered pretty quickly.

Oh god. If he played the drinking game with repeating his comments his interviews might actually be more fun. BC you are so right.

I don't mean the drinking game for him in regards to his repetitive comments, that's for us! But you know most interviewers are going to ask him the same few questions (and they'll probably ask Margot and SLJ and Christoph the same questions about Alex) so during the parts of the press junkets where he's in a room and the interviewers only have about 15 minutes with him, he starts drinking after the first repeated question. It'll get a lot more entertaining very, very quickly. He could perhaps talk politics, or Hammarby, or something other than his ingrained talking points.
WB would have a freakout, but I'd enjoy it.

ETA: And if his version of the drinking game during the Tarzan promo goes well he can do it again during WOE promotion, and say that's he's just staying in character!

I think it's so interesting how the European interviewers tend to ask him better questions. He's an interesting guy who does some really cool, adventurous things. Maybe with Tarzan, some of the interviewers will ask about some of his adventures instead of how many hours he worked out to get those abs and if he minds being naked.

I'm so happy that DOATG won tonight. I'm surprised Alex wasn't there. He deserves a gold star for his efforts in promoting it.

I do mean drinking game for him, also. That would be fun for us. Just saying. @kit. I agree that Europeans ask better questions. The berlinale interviews were so much more interesting. The questions were better

He's done some very interesting things in the past few years, and has been rarely been asked about it. I'm hoping that there's an interviewer or two who actually does some homework and asks about them.

Oh, no Alex, that's not a good shirt/jacket combo. :p Maybe if you'd stuck with the white shirt and not your new favorite striped one?
