ALEX O’LOUGHLIN INSISTS HE DIDN’T BECOME AN ACTOR TO GET FAMOUS

Posted by Adam

Alex LoughlinHOLLYWOOD’S hottest new hunk, Alex O’Loughlin, insists he didn’t become an actor because he wanted to be a star.

The Aussie heartthrob — who appears alongside Jennifer Lopez in new movie The Back-Up Plan — says he got into acting because he sees it as an art form.

“I didn’t become an actor to get famous,” he said. “I became an actor because I love the work. I love being on stage, I love being part of a collaborative art form and seeing what we can create in a film, but fundamentally, the most important thing to me is what comes before that, and that’s life. Your life, your family, your people…I mean, without life experience, you can’t tell stories anyway. You’re a boring actor.

“I don’t really act like I’m famous. I just do my thing. I’m not that famous, dude. Sometimes I get pointed out or some people shuffle up and ask for an autograph or a photograph, but I’m not at a point where I can’t leave the house, thank God. I think the downsides would be losing your anonymity and not being able to trust people, to tell whether people want to be with you and get to know you because of your celebrity or because of who you are.

“I just try to carry the sense of integrity and authenticity I had in the beginning of my career, because I think that’s what makes people interested in you in the first place. It’s important not to lose that.”

O’Loughlin insists he wasn’t starstruck working with Lopez, who is married to Latino singer Marc Anthony.

“I just know her as her, you know what I mean?” he said. “I know her as my costar, her husband as my friend Marc, I know Max and Emme as her kids and they’re my own little mates…I just don’t see it in that way. When I step away and look at it from that perspective, yes, she’s a brand, and the machine behind the J.Lo brand informs and creates that. She obviously wanted that, and in that case, she’s a very smart businesswoman because she’s made a lot of money, I presume, and she’s had a lot of success and is very well-known.

“She must be pretty resilient, because I don’t want that. I’m not suggesting I could ever have that, but the other thing you’ve got to realize about Jennifer is that she’s as famous as she is based on her talent. She’s a very talented woman, an incredible singer, dancer and writer who’s very good at what she does, as opposed to these people you see these days who are famous for being famous. There are celebrities in this day and age who really have offered nothing artistically but they’re on the cover of magazines and stuff. That world, I don’t really get it.”

    He’s gay.

    • amyvil

      Gina, Alex is not gay. He has a 12-year old son.

    • Linda

      Gina, you are so wrong about Alex. He is a great actor and a great person. He puts his heart and sole into every job he takes on. He goes above and beyond the call of duty by taking on the causes associated with his roles (blood drives when he was in Moonlight, and transplants when he was doing Three Rivers). So you aren’t a fan of Alex’s. There are millions of us out there that are so I don’t think he will care that you aren’t. He is not gay, he is a caring actor that cares about his fans. Your comments make you sound stupid as it is obvious you know nothing about Alex.

  • Angelina

    People forget he played a vampire in a tv show. He has been around for awhile.No he is not gay i have read somewhere he is married. Anyways people are forgetting that some people really don’t care about fame, they like to act and of course a paycheck just like every other person on the planet who has bills.with thoose looks what other choice did he have?

    • michelle

      you just named my three fav. guys!!!

  • Dawn

    Truly, actors who just wanted to become famous make me sick. That’s a really stupid reason to become an actor. That’s why actors like Alex O’Loughin, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, and many others are my favorites – they’re good honest actors who love doing what they do best for that reason only. Not to be famous.

    @Gina: Well if you’re going to make stupid comments for no apparent reason… I have a couple things to say about that. GROW UP.

    If you just saying that because you don’t like him, then you’re idiot. He’s not gay. He had girlfriends bunch of before like he was dating Holly Valence. If you don’t like an actor, please do us a favor and don’t post comments that make you look like a 5 year old prick.

  • Steph

    Whatever amount of respect I had for him..I just lost it. Look at him! pretending he is so superior to other actors. “I’m not like THOSE actors, I’m the guy who does it because he loves the ART FORM” Hes just another one of these pretentious actors who reach out to pretentious people who hate mainstream famous celebrities (though he did costar with one…) Just the way he blatantly says he doesn’t care about fame makes me suspect otherwise.

  • Whitney

    Uhm no. If you remember, when Alex was on Moonlight, he was always a hilarious, humble guy. He’s a great actor w/ a lot of talent; I’m really happy that he’s gaining more and more success. He is NOT a pretentious actor, he is actually very genuine. When they went on the tour to promote Moonlight, he stayed 2 1/2 hours after his costars had left so that he could sign autographs and get a picture w/ us, the fans. So, yea. You’re entitled to your own opinion and I respect it, but stick to the facts.

  • Dawn

    Gina…why would you say that??? I don’t believe he is gay(and if he were it is none of your business)! He is just a very talented man who happens to be famous. How would you feel if people made comments like that about you??? I don’t think you would.

  • Jeanne Jackson

    I have liked him for years. I loved Moonlight. He made a great vampire. He was in another series Three Rivers. I notice all the trailers about this movie only mention Jenifer Lopez. There is no mention of his name. how many actors would have that happening. Let’s just enjoy the acting.

  • sasha

    HE IS GAY

  • Toni

    I loved him in Moonlight.Watched every episode and rented it thru Netflix. Lovedf him. So glad to see him doing well. He desrves good things.

    • Joan Juner

      I loved Moonlight, I have the series on DVD.

  • Cynthia

    Whether he is gay or not is really no ones business but his partner(s). I like his acting style and his honest candor. I miss his vampire series, but glad to see he has moved on.

    • Patrica

      AlexPAgirl i agree with you. I appreciate true actors and not these wannabes…for example Paris Hilton. She is only famous because of her family name. She has no talent…can’t sing or act yet she is on the pages of every magazine out there. The only thing she ever says is “Thats Hot”. Whatever. Alex is a wonderful actor and I have seen him in other movies as well. He has been several movies one of my favorites is August Rush. He is very versitile. He can play the sweet charming guy in one movie and then a total bad guy in the next. To me that is acting, not having your face plasteres averywhere. Andregarding his sexuality…only homophobes would have issues. By-the-way he isn’t gay and if he was it is none our business. I agree that his good looks help with the package.
      P.S. To those Moonlight fans…It is now aavailable on DVD. Already got my copy and lovin it. He is a hotter vamp than Angel!

  • alexPAgirl

    when did we lose the sense of an actor doing his craft and doing it well and commenting about just that. to slander him about anything other than what you think about his acting is just childish. his comment about people who are the covers of magazines for just being famous for no good reason is dead on. i am tired of seeing the trashiness of people who have no god given talent being idolized. i think alex is a great actor, great person and a breath of fresh air. him being cute doesn’t hurt either.

    • bevferly

      Amen to that!

    • Beverly

      Amen to that, Patty!!

  • Patty

    I LOVE this guy…He can put his fangs in my bed any time…He makes this old lady melt…. If I were not married I would be his Cougar!!!!!

  • http://www.thesecretdiaryofaliceinwonderland.com Barbara Silkstone

    I’ve been in love with Alex since Moonlight. Besides being gorgeous and generating incredible heat, he’s an excellent actor. Has anyone considered him for the part of Joe Morelli in the upcoming Stephanie Plum movie…One for the Money? He would star opposite Katherine Heigl. That could work – nice chemistry.

  • Sam

    I don’t know if he’s gay, and don’t care. He was a lackluster vampire compared to Kyle Schmid’s Henry Fitzroy (slept in a freezer) and he just doesn’t have the ‘it’ factor. So, gay or not, good thing he doesn’t want to be J. Lo famous.

    • Pommienana/Mary E

      I have had the privilege of briefly meeting and talking to Alex.He is a lovely decent and caring man who is also very kind and appreciative of his fans.As for thinking he is”Superior’ to other actors that is totally untrue. He is a classically trained actor in the Australian and British tradition and it IS love of the art of acting that inspires them and him..Truly reading some of the comments here I can understand just loving the craft and disliking the thought of “FAME” The rude Questions !!!! The snide remarks, the lack of Privacy. OMG!!!!. It is nobody’s business but Alex,s who he loves or how he loves. . I love the fact that he is a loving person. I do know that he lived with one of the most beautiful Australian actress’s in the World for three years and has a gorgeous young son to whom he is completely devoted from a previous relationship SO PLEASE LEAVE HIS PRIVATE LIFE PRIVATE AND APPRECIATE HIS TALENT DECENCY AND MASCULINE BEAUTY.Also go and see THE BACK UP PLAN It is charming and funny

  • Debbie

    I agree! He is not gay! He is a handsome & humble man! I loved him in Moon Light & 3 Rivers! He’s a great actor & for someone to call him gay without knowing the true facts about him is just immature. He’s a great actor & I would love to have him as my doctor!

  • Terri

    I don’t know where this gay stuff is coming from, (jealousy maybe?) not that it would matter one bit. The guy dated Holly Vance for years and has a 12 year old son from a previous relationship.
    I’ve seen him in The Oyster Farmer and The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant and he is a really good actor. The “It” factor is in the eye of the beholder and I think he has “It.” I am looking forward to H-50 this fall and seeing him on the big screen more & more.
    Totally agree about being famous for the sake of being famous. I am sick to death of seeing fake celebs on the front of the magazines trying to stretch their 15 minutes by doing anything to get noticed. I don’t get why anyone would even want that.

  • Terri

    Funny someone with no “it” factor has been trending #1 on yahoo since last night!

  • ARenee

    He is such an attractive man. I just can’t get over it. He is an incredible actor and Moonlight was one of my favorite shows. I was very glad to see he was coming out with a movie and everything that he says makes him seem more real and don to earth. I’m hoping to see the movie soon!

  • Patti

    Right on alexPA girl and Patty!! He is an extremely talented actor & has shown that he can play various roles well. He is outrageously handsome, sexy looking, a good speaker, sounds like his comments are from his heart and not running at the mouth about something he knows nothing about. Who cares if he’s gay??!!!! It IS his business. He is STILL a talented actor. Jennifer Lopez is at the top of the A-List. Does anyone in their right mind believe any producer would hire just a less productive and less talented actor to star in a movie with her??!!!! NOT!! I am quite sure they were confident in his abilities to act in a movie with her as were the other producers of the series he has played in!! Wake up people!! Don’t judge a book by it’s cover or rumors! Watch his talent for heavens sake!! He IS a success! More power & opportunities to him!!! You go Boy!!!! They’ll all eat their words! Pay attention to his acting talent people—not whether he is gay or not!
    Pattee

  • Dianne

    Alex is so hot! I adored him in Moonlight and Three Rivers, and now in The Back Up Plan. His eyes light up the screen. His smile is infectious. His body is to die for!
    He does appear humble and sweet, on and off the camera. He’s got my vote any day! He’s a serious actor who is remarkable at his job, and oh so fun to look at! To call him gay without knowing the truth is immature and ridiculous!

    • Lynn

      Pay attention. No one is saying there’s anything wrong with being gay. They’re saying Alex isn’t gay and it’s absurd to jump in just to post that, which also has nothing to do with this article.

      • Lynn

        That was addressed to you meeeee – not Dianne.

  • meeeee

    What planet do you people live on?? Who cares if someone is gay or not?? Standing up for a person because someone called them gay is just as bad as calling someone gay in a slanderous manner in the first place. This comment, by the way, is coming from a woman who is married to a man and has two children. When does the issue with accepting diversity change? Grow the f@ck up.

  • http://showbizspy Slade

    personaly I think he would make a great justinian of Ravena and constantinople.

  • Dee

    I am sick & tired of hearing about & seeing the same people on ET, E and magazine covers, as with Jolie, Aniston. to name a few. Let’s hear and see more people like Alex. He is a fine actor and a sincere person.

  • Kay

    Moonlight – those dreamy eyes,cute smile and nervousness around Beth…Hope he doesn’t stick to romantic comedies,that would be a waste of talent

  • sandy

    …….and you know that he is gay because……….

  • Marshel

    Ohhhh stop… Out of boredom, I first read about him in an in-flight magazine and he went on and on about how he “forgot” that he was working with a “big star” aka – J.Lo… cause he was so caught up in the moment. Isn’t that just too silly?!?

    • Connie

      WTF is silly about that? They enjoyed working together and became great friends.

  • Margo

    Uhhhh – a handful of surgeons are very good at what they do and they deserve FAR more credit and RESPECT than any “celeb” out there… Sorry! Just a fact! It’s pretty sickening!

  • MichaelC2

    I adore Alex O. and all of his work – and TBUP is fantastic!

  • Jamie

    I love this guy! Loved him on Moonlight and Three Rivers. BTW, does anyone know what happened to Three Rivers? All of sudden it just went off. I liked that show. :( I’m going to see The Backup Plan tomorrow! So excited! I think he’s HOT!!

  • http://facebook Susan

    LOL! Alex’s son would probably like to punch you out for saying his dad is gay! Alex was with Holly Valance (fellow Aussie, actress) for at least 4 years–she even starred in an episode of Moonlight with him! But she’s in Australia, he’s got other things on his full plate, like this movie and shooting “Hawaii 5-0″ in–Hawaii! Busy guy! And ALWAYS SOOOOOO nice to his fans! He’s so humble and sweet–we all love him. Look at some of his older work, like “The Oyster Farmer” (one of my fav movie love scenes!)and the tear-jerking “The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant” as well as his work on “The Shield” and his horror film, “Feed!” Wow. But of all of them, “Moonlight” had the charm and sensitivity to really show off Alex’s talent. He will be a BIG star one day. He’s too great not to be! Ask all of us VampSisters–Alex O is the BEST! We love you Alex! Keep up the good work!

    • Dee

      I’m glad someone brought up more of his resume. If anyone would be in doubt of his talent rent either of these two movies. I’m sorry to see him be objectified. I think his talent goes far beyond his looks. I hope he gets something in an action film so he can get some broader appeal.

  • Zoeee

    He is not married.

  • Zoeee

    first fell in love with him in AUGUST RUSH!

  • Michelle

    I Luv Alex, I think he’s a fine Actor!!! I loved his show’s & Missed when they were canceled!! To All Alex True Fans Keep on Supporting this Beautiful Actor!! To All The Hater’s Stop hating for no reason!!!!!

  • Tina

    I love him and miss Moonlight! Please someone pick it up! Can’t understand how CBS could cancel a show that was widely popular, obviously, because it won a People’s Choice award! So if any networks cable or not have any brains at all it would be a smart move to try to see if all the actors would be onboard to do the series or atleast a movie, to tie up some loose ends!! I am seeing Backup Plan this week and am excited!

  • Eveann

    if you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything, it will show how shallow your brain is.
    I love his acting … continue with your good work Alex!! We are here to support you!

    Cheers!

  • http://yahoo audrey snyder

    is this guy any relation to tom o’laughlin who played billy jack back in the 70′s?

    • Dee

      no, on his bio it said he changed his last name slightly to make it more American-ized.

  • Sonya

    I would have to agree with most of you. Though I don’t know him – DAMN! – I can tell he is a very caring, trusting and genuine person. Just look at his eyes. Eyes like that don’t lie! I’ve seen mostly everything he’s done and I think he is a great actor with enourmous potential. I have to say I was not a big fan of “Three Rivers.” Except for seeing him on the screen, the show did nothing to me. However, “Moonlight,” no idea why in the world a show like that would ever be canceled; Shame on you CBS. Good thing Sy Fy picked it up, even if was only to replay what was already filmed. Last but not least, I saw “The Back Up Plan” the day it came out (friday was it?) and I haven’t been able to stop thiking about him. Actually, he’s been on my mind since I saw The Oyster Farmer. Mother of God, aren’t I pathetic?! I don’t know what it is about that kid that makes me insane. He’s been my favorite person since I saw him in Moonlight and I’m planning on sticking with him for a very long time. Oh, and by the way, if by any crazy/remote chance anyone of you reading this knows him, please let me know how I can arrange to meet him. It would make my life!!! And no, I’m not a freak! I swear! Just someone with a wish :)

    • Dee

      I wish there would be an ending to the series at least. When I was hooked on Firefly we got a movie to wrap things up. What would be so bad about that?

  • jerry

    actually he is really gay. just because he had a girlfriend in the past doesnt mean he isnt.. ricky martin had girlfriends in the past.. even a child with one of them.

    • Dee

      LOL…Why in the world would you even worry about posting that? Nobody here cares…

  • charm

    @Sonya:i just saw ‘back up plan’,wow dear lord, he’s really handsome and sexy..Cheers to you,i’m symphatizing you! :)

  • Delores

    Who cares if he’s gay or not. Let him act, Damn it!!!!

  • http://Yahoo Deborah

    Dear everyone….stop it right now…when you say things about people you are just rude, hurtful and unChristian. I fell in love with Alex on Moonlight and have followed his career since then. He seems to be a beautiful, caring and egnimatic person. He is a wonderful actor and very, very talented. I wish him the best in his craft.

  • http://jericho4kids.com shelby

    he was also in Jericho and did a great job, too.

  • jon

    the guy sounds like a total d-bag. just entertain me and shut up already..

    • Carl

      STFU

  • Ashley

    well Alex O’loughlin is not the new hottest new hunk to me, he has been since he played in Moonlight, Three Rivers. The only reason i went to see the Back up Plan was for him not for J.Lo even though she is a great actress, as for him being a great actor. I been waiting to see that movie for a bout a year since my friend told me he was playing in the back up plan. And that i saw it opening day. Me, My mom, and our friend Spice are true Alex O’loughlin fans. We are Team O’loughlin -Saint Mick John.He is so HOT.:)

  • dragonfly

    Alex O’Loughlin is adorable and certainly can act. We need to see more of him. Much more.

  • Stacy

    Maybe you people should check out the movie FEED where he plays a sadistic psycho intent on feeding a fat woman to death by feeding her the fat of other fat women before her, might I mention he is also naked in the movie?

    • Angie

      He’s great in that movie although it’s not for the squeamish. Plus he has the hottest ass on the planet!

  • Bermos

    That is exactly what a career should be about. The love of doing something you enjoy. NO, HE IS NOT GAY!! Grow up!!

    He is an incredible actor, who is talented and handsome, but his love for his passion for the arts is indisputable. Why can’t people understand that about actor.

  • Ariel

    Alex is divine. He is cute and U can tell he is humble. Being simple doesn’t mean you are gay, it means you respect yourself and other. Go Alex I love Moonlight and am sure going to look for Back up plan.

  • Just a Thought

    Half y’all throw the term “gay” around as if it were an accusation. The other half defend the man as if it were an insult. What it really is, is none of anyone’s business.

    It would sure be nice to hear about Alex O’Loughlin’s acting abilities.
    – Just a Thought

  • Rachel

    Laughing at the comments about Alex being gay. He is far from it, since he cheated on Holly Valence with his slutty SEXrectary. (And has a son around age 12 for those who still doubt he has hetero sex! lol)

    Though I will admit he is SO full of himself & doesn’t care about the fans, and so I agree: what an asshole!!!

    Hey Alex, have fun with the millions of dollars you’re going to earn with your HORRIBLE ACTING & looking pretty, jerk! :)

    moobs! :)

  • Rachel

    I APOLOGIZE FOR THE JERK COMMENT. BUT HE DOES HAVE GIANT MOOBS.

  • Travoncia

    Well my goodness!! LOL!! Now it is official. Alex has hit the big time. He has bashers!! The majority overwhelmingly agree he is talented, dedicated, humble, extremely gorgeous and an allround nice guy. Then there are the bashers, the negative dwellers who thrive on finding awful things to say and dont care if its true or not. Just being nasty and negative makes their day. I have watched Alex do interviews, autograph sessions, fans walking up to him as he’s going about his business and I have never seen him grow impatient, rude, or arrogant. Quite the contrary, he appears shy and humble on the interviews, gracious and giving durring the autograph sessions with loads of patience and quite friendly and accomodating when approached casually. In one instance a fan got on the set of Three Rivers. She waited in the background til she saw him walking alone. She called him, he went immediately over to her, greeted her, took her hand, had a small conversation and agreed to pose with her for a pic. Now if that’s not being a wonderfully kind, down to earth and unassuming guy, I dont know what else you would call it. And as for Three Rivers, it premiered Oct 4th, 2009 and CBS summarily canceled it Dec 4th, 2009. I dont know why they even bothered or spent the money to produce it. But I think they saw Alex is more of an action star and Three Rivers was a bit cerebral and his talents werent being used to their full potential. Moonlight was his break-out role. That’s was the vehicle that started his ascent and it is an unforgettable show mainly because of him. I surely hope we can get a movie or a continuation of the series because I believe CBS cancelled that show prematurely and with the success of vamp shows, movies and vamps in general, they made a MONUMENTAl mistake.

  • malissiv

    He was a much better vampire than Edward. That Twilight thing was awful though the story was good. Alex made a wonderfully sexy vampire with a brain. This movie is hilarious. Good for him and his career and may the work continue. What a hunk!

  • Susan

    Alex is NOT gay if anyone did their research he has a kid in Australia! If these idiot can’t come on her & say something mature that makes sense WHY do they come on at all? They’re probably shut ins with no outside life or job probably!
    Alex happens to be a decent down to earth person & so far I have like devrything I’ve seen him in!
    How Moonlight didn’t make it but True Blood & Vampire Diaries has, I still don’t know…

  • http://mikez56@optonline.net diane

    Trust me ladies, Alex is NOT gay!

  • Lovin’ Alex O’

    What is it about people when they see a nice person he is automatically gay! Buy the way I have been a fan Of Alex for a long time now. I went to see the backup plan ONLY for him. I knew that J-Lo was not a great actor and that the film wouldn’t be a great success because everyone knows she can’t act! I think that he carried the film when in parts it would have fallen flat with out him! Talk about people who use others for fame J- lo’s rise was based on the men she was with. She dated to make her name we all know it. Therefore, she is no different from the other lack luster talent that graces our screens and mags now days. She should feel lucky that he was willing to be in the film with her!

    He has real talent she has a name, a brand that is it! Everyone knows her film work is for crap! Teens like her film that’s it. So watch what you say about Alex because he is the real deal and she should have let him do what he does best so the show could have done better. Alex is the type of actor we all need to watch he has old school talent and people cannot see it because they spend too much time thinking all the junk reality shows have “talent” on them!

    He is a great looking kisser but thanks to J-lo, we were unable to see that in this film. He was able to cry on cue and she could only quiver her bottom lip…trying to cry! He made it real by allowing tears to fill his eyes! He has talent! I cannot believe he is placed with some one like her and he is the one being looked at poorly. By people calling him Gay and saying he is fake. Would you say this crap about J-Lo? She freaking sucks! I hope he never has to work with her again!

    By the way, for those of you saying stupid shit about him…..Why were you looking him up on yahoo anyway? You must have seen something that you liked! You just wanted to pick a fight with people who like him. I think you are really Jealous of him and just like all the other people who speak on issues; they know nothing about you are an idiot. Go back to the E! Website and talk trash there where it is expected.

    Rock on Alex O’Loughlin! You so deserve all the great things in life! Stay real, kind and above all else stay true to you!

    Much love!

  • suzanne faith

    PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE…COME ON….ENOUGH WITH THE “GAy” STUFF I HAVE WATCHED MANY YEARS OF TV AND MOVIES AND HE HAS A CERTAIN SOMETHING THAT IS SO SWEET AND MAGICAL IHAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE LIKE HIM. I HAVE FOLLOWED HIS CAREER FOR FOUR YEARS AND NEVER HEARD ANYONE (UNLESS THEY MIGHT BE A TAD JEALOUS????) CUT HIM DOWN…HE’S A SWEETHEART AND I DID HEAR HIS SON WAS GONNA SMACK ANYONE WHO CALLED HIS DAD GAY. ALWAYS HAS TO BE SOME SMARTASS THAT TRIES TO RAIN ON A GOOD PERSON’S PARADE…GO AWAY, GET A LIFE. LOVE YOU ALEX YOUR FOREVER FAN SUZANNE

  • http://mikez56@optonline.com Carol

    My husband and I are in our 50′s. We went to see The Back Up Plan and we laugh so much, It was the best ten dollars we spent in a long time. I hope that CBS picks up Five-O, what a good actor he is. If you go see a movie and you like it then its a good movie and I don’t care what people say.

  • setmedic

    I met Alex on a set for Moonlight. He is a very nice down to earth guy with everyone (even being the star on set). Though most celebs don’t look the same in person as on screen Alex does..maybe even sexier though shorter. LOL

  • setmedic

    BTW….he isn’t gay as I watched from a distance while he consistantly flirted and put the moves on a co-starlet….SOOOOO NOT GAY!

  • Jenna

    Alex is hot,so handsome with the most beautiful expressive eyes(Sorry,Im’ drooling as I write this,*lol* He is the best of the cast on Hawaii-Five-O,what a terrific actor. Believe me,Alex is NOT GAY,he loves the ladies and the ladies love him.(I’m one of them)

  • Rex

    ALEX O’LOUGHLIN IS GAY!

  • Shari

    @Rex, you’re an idiot lol!

    @Rachel, you are beyond absurd! Seek help, you nutty bitch!

    Thanks for the article, SBS! =D

  • http://www.gbgbusinessfree.com Jadwiga Berhe

    I just want to decrease a thoughts and say I’m a newcomer to your site and love a few things I am looking at. Published great written content. Count on returning for more.

  • http://www.gbgbusinessopportunity.com GBG

    Glad I stumbled across your blog. Very well written and I love your theme.

  • Wadj

    Like the previous poster, I stumbled across this blog almost by accident (I say *almost*, I mean, it’s not like I was googling the guy… or anything…) and it’s quite amazing the stuff people want to put out there.

    It’s been lovely to hear the support, surprising but not to hear the haters. I still don’t get why it should matter who Alex has sex or relationships with. He doesn’t make my gaydar twitch, and it’s normally fairly reliable but the only reason I’d be upset if he *were* gay is that I’d officially have less of a chance with him than I do. Which is between slim and none as it is LOL

    I’d love to see him on Inside the Actor’s Studio with James Lipton. It would be a fascinating interview that was almost completely devoid of any drool factor. From everything I’ve read and heard, Alex is someone who is passionate, and I mean PASSIONATE about the craft and although I’m sure like most actors, he adores the recognition of his performances and the validation that he’s liked, I don’t honestly think that fame for its own sake was ever what he was after. He’s very serious, very talented and should be lauded for that alone. He’s an entertaining and fun person (when he wants to be) could quite possibly have bouts of self-doubt and melancholy even though he has a great deal of confidence in his ability and I can completely believe setmedic that he’s a flirt. Although I do wonder if the person he was putting the moves on was his girlfriend who played Lola in Moonlight!

    I just saw a very sweet picture of him saying goodbye at LAX in January to his then girlfriend (no idea if they’re still together) Amber someone who was in Three Rivers with him. He was kissing her forehead. Quite adorable.

    It always kills me whenever I look up about a handsome or “hot” man that all the answers that the chicks give is “he’s not gay!” “He has kids” or “He has a girlfriend/wife” How pathetic you girls are and naive to always just don’t get that you all deserve it when you don’t get that maybe your man is just a closet case…WAKE UP STUPID WOMEN!!! Most guys are closeted because of fear including me and yes I am married with children you dipS..t’s

      Why are ppl so worked up when ppl assumed he is gay?? Is being gay a crime or a shame?? Gay or not its his own business.. As long as he does his work legally that’s all that matters..

    BIG DEAL, ALEX IS GOOD LOOKING, AND HE HAS A SON, THAT DOESN’T MEAN HE CAN’T BE GAY.

    If he were gay I don’t see why he’d be so cloak and dagger about it, having girlfriends and talking about who his ideal woman would be. Regardless, I hope he knows he does have many, many fans who love him for who he is and the wonderful performances he’s brought to us, and not because he is famous. I had no idea who he was, never heard his name, and just from watching Hawaii Five-0 slowly grew to love him. Afterwards I sought out his other works and the infatuation grew even deeper. I have been seriously affected by him, and I know how weird that is!

    Folks just ignore what some of these ignorant uneducated monkey’s have said about our bloke Alex! The man is as straight as a dye and all gay websites say he is as well! As Alex said in an interview ‘Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see”. He has also stated on quite a number of occasions over the years about his love of women and his desire to marry and expand his family.
