I'd sort of presumed that at this point they'd be de facto living together, even in NYC, but especially if they're together in London or LA. I'm presuming that Alex spent a lot of time over at KB's when they were together. And I believe that he hung a Hammarby flag on the gate of KB's driveway.

Yes, I think that too.



I can't remember if you have to have commented a certain amount before being able to upload an avatar? Or maybe sacrifice a goat. Or both. :shrugs::p

Great. Now I gotta go find a goat.

It used to be a chicken, but inflation and all that. I'm glad that I have Amazon Prime, very helpful with that free shipping for those larger ritual sacrifice items! :p

There is an LA pap that's a real piece of work, says nasty stuff to get a reaction etc. Alex has been photographed/video'd by him a few times over the years, all with a scowl on his face.

I'm wondering if it's that guy. I feel for that lady though. Looks like Alex almost bowled her over in his haste.

Or maybe the lady was a crazed autograph seeker and he just had enough :smile1: Guess it's home to NYC for a few days to wash the said striped shirt and brown jacket

He did look more ticked than usual, so perhaps that's who it was.
As for the lady, I do feel for her, but it looked liked she was heading toward the car while he was trying to get out, and I don't think she expected that he wouldn't stop. So whether she was someone who wanted an autograph or just oblivious I don't know.

Another Tarzan article:

With a rich history that’s now over 100-years-old, and, according to IMDB, over 200 movies with Tarzan in the title, it’s little surprise that Warner Bros. has decided to throw $180 million behind another reboot of the character with The Legend Of Tarzan.

Obviously, the studio has rather high hopes for The Legend Of Tarzan as they’re releasing it in the height of the summer blockbuster season. They’re hedging their bets that it will be able to swing from vine to vine for several weeks and not only amass a healthy box office return, but will also kick start a brand-new franchise that will prove to be very, very lucrative.

All of that was thrown into a bit of chaos just a couple of months ago when rumors emerged that Warner Bros. wasn’t completely happy with what The Legend Of Tarzan’s production had left them with. This issue wasn’t helped by the revelation that director David Yates had moved onto Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them just after The Legend Of Tarzan’s post-production had begun.

But all of these problems dissipated with the release of the stunning first trailer for The Legend Of Tarzan, which suggested that the blockbuster will be a moody, thrilling, and action-packed waltz through the jungle and a modern examination of the titular character and his doting wife Jane.

But what else do you need to know about The Legend Of Tarzan? Well, luckily, you can have a look through our handy guide below to learn about the blockbuster, which could be the surprise hit of the summer. ..

Tarzan
Alexander Skarsgård has been tasked with playing the titular character in David Yates’ new incarnation of Tarzan, with the 39-year-old True Blood and Generation Kill actor beating out the likes of Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, and Charlie Hunnam to take the part. Rather alarmingly, there was previously a rumor that Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps was going to dive head first into a cinematic career with the role, but that, thankfully, proved to be unfounded. There was actually precedent for such a casting, though, as Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller played Tarzan in over 12 films between 1932 and 1948. Despite the past, thankfully Warner Bros. recognized that an actual actor was needed for the part, and the Swede soon set out on a rigorous four month training regiment to get his body in tip-top shape. Talking about his version of Tarzan, Alexander Skarsgård explained to USA Today:
This is about a man who’s holding back and slowly as you peel off layers, he reverts back to a more animalistic state and lets that side of his personality out.​
Obviously, since most of his career has been spent working in television, there are still some concerns over his leading man credentials. But, there’s no denying that he certainly looks the part.

This IS good news. Hopefully, the WB PR machine will start gearing up. They need this to succeed because I don't know how BvS is going to do. This article and the one you posted earlier about franchising, which I take with a grain of salt, at least are positive.


And to add to the conversation about Tarzan from a business standpoint, here is Forbes take on WB slate of movies this year:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottme...arner-bros-will-release-in-2016/#c7680b2da466

I'm not sure if Forbes "no comment" about Tarzan means they don't know enough to comment or they were raised with the feeling of if you can't say anything good, then don't say anything at all. You can read it both ways.

Tku, and Buckeye, for the Tarzan articles, the cinemablend one was good to read :) Re the Forbes 'no comment' that is a strange one, although I think your suggestion that they don't know enough about it may be correct, (I certainly hope so!)

------------

I think Alex's furtive behaviour at LAX may have been because he was using their new super-private premium entrance. The lady may simply have been the meeter-and-greeter for the day, and Alex knew by wearing his usual cap, and keeping his head down and his back to the paps, he'd be gone in a matter of seconds, leaving them with some pretty useless photos ;)
 
Is that new terminal built already? I could be mistaken but I thought it was only proposed in November last year.

Unless it's the one built by Delta which was completed or nearing completion?

I think the Forbes article is odd, because the author has written on LOT before.

I'd completely forgotten about the new VIP lounge. It appears that they're renovating an existing building so it may indeed be done.

"Airport officials say the lounge will be located in a converted cargo facility at 6851 West Imperial Highway, next to the airport's southernmost runway. The proposed project includes a 43,750-square-foot building and a 13,840-square-foot parking lot.

For fees as high as $1,800 per trip, travelers would be able to drive into a secure parking and drop-off area, avoiding the main terminals, which can be crowded with people and jammed with traffic.
Airport officials say the LAX lounge will be built and operated by Gavin de Becker and Associates, an L.A.-based security firm with an elite clientele. The firm plans to open the lounge in six to eight months, first in a temporary facility while the permanent site is prepared.

^^ Yes, it's completed, it'll certainly explain the pap photos ;)

Eta: Tks jooa :) Here is a link to the Getty vid http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail...-at-lax-airport-in-los-news-footage/513649514

Another era draws to a close :shucks: "Did you get a good shot?" :giggles:
That entranceway is different to the one that I think was being described in the piece which mentioned $1800. Even I get to use flagship entrance because I fly AA so much, and it isn't something you have to pay more for (it's also based on airline status). Although I never seem to see Alex, just a bunch of grumpy businessmen. And it's only on departure, so wonder if he or others are paying more re arrivals...
 
He looks a bit tired on that fan pic. But then again who wouldn't with his schedule and flight hrs.

I agree, when does the man rest? ;) Although I see him smiling, his eyes looking sad. :shucks:

Why are the photo agencies holding back posting the pictures of Alex? It's been days now.. :confused1:
 
Thanks for all the great pictures and info. I've always figured there is still the little boy in the man. The same little boy who quit acting because he felt uncomfortable with the attention that comes with the business. I guess it doesn't surprise me, he wants to avoid paps. The lady in the airport, if I had to guess, he didn't see her because he was doing his "bigfoot hiding under a hat" routine. He may have quirks/traits some of us find odd (lack of better word), but there has not been a rumor I know of about him being a jerk to the average person.
