She could have translated something like "instant chemistry" as "love at first sight",but I doubt it because they mean different things. I think the part about keeping his personal moments private clarifies that he was actually talking about his personal life.


I think Allie was talking about the spa pic. I disagree about the shoot with Theron. It was ridiculously photoshopped. The fencing shoot with Mia was definitely better.

The shoot with Theron....Theron is really beautiful but Michael is like covered in oil - don't know olive or sesame oil ....[emoji38][emoji14]

"Colpo di fulmine" is a common way to say "love at first sight"/"strong instant attraction" like when you know someone and immediately feel attraction. Nothing to do with on screen chemistry.. The Italian translation would have been "subito chimica" o "chimica immediata". Colpo di fulmine is our most common way to say "Instant love". Seriously, I'm not joking, I 100% swear "sudden love"/"love at first sight"/"instant strong attraction" it's the only way to translate "colpo di fulmine", there isn't any other meaning for that expression. I don't know if the journalist wrote crap etc but I translated it in the only possible/existent way. :)

Re that photoshoot with Charlize ITA. I don't like it, I've never liked it, I can't help. Not my thing.. Too exaggerated... I liked a lot the one with Mia (I also love Mia!!) and I would have loved one with Penelope Cruz, I thought they had great chemistry, but.. It's too late to ask for it now lol

Lol no I didn't really like it. [emoji85] too 50 shades style -with better actors obviously!!! Not my thing.. I find natural things waaaaaay sexier!! [emoji57] the one with Mia was super intriguing IMO. So classy. Matter of tastes I think ;)

Yep, it was the spa pic. Thank you Morgane.

If people want to snark on my posts and insult me (which that member has done twice now) at least do it accurately.

And re that article, no 1) he wasn't talking about his character but himself and Alicia (the question was about them as persons irl), 2) "colpo di fulmine" is the typical expression people use in Italy to say "love at first sight"/"immediate attraction".
The magazine wrote so, and I translated it in the only possible way. I'm not guilty for what the magazine wrote and/or fassy said, I just translated the article in the only possible way, there aren't any other ways to translate that expression in my language. No double meaning, etc..
I don't think it's a big deal tbh, I wouldn't worry that much, whatever he said: if he said so, I'm really really happy (!), if he didn't, and the magazine made up lines he said, I'm happy anyways cos they surely wrote it for some reasons, he must have said something like that, Grazia is not Vanity Fair but is not a crap magazine either. So, I don't know. If someone made an error in translating, it was not me. I'm not responsible for what the magazine wrote/Michael said.
Btw... That spa pic[emoji7][emoji7]

I really disliked the photo shoot Michael did with Charlize. Made me cringe a little!

The Mia fencing pics for JE promo were great.

I am glad that Michael and Alicia have a natural look for their TLBO promo pic - it is beautiful and simple and is all that is needed.
