Jacqui Lang has interviewed our Alex for Australian magazine, Woman's Day. He has mentioned the long hours he works to give us Moonlight in many articles. I really felt for him when I read his answer to what he wants for Christmas. A longer version of the interview is in the publication's issue that went on sale (in Australia) December 24th, 2007.Alex is lucky and in love
Devilishly handsome Alex O'Loughlin, 31, is yet another Aussie actor making his way in Tinseltown, starring as a likeable vampire in Nine's new series Moonlight. In real life, Alex is also the devoted boyfriend of singer Holly Valance — just don't ask him about her!
Jacqui :
On Moonlight, you suck a bit of blood from time to time?
Alex :
Yeah, I suck lots of blood.
Jacqui :
How do you rehearse that?
Alex :
You can't rehearse, you just go for it!
Jacqui :
While you're in a role do you speak in the required accent all the time?
Alex :
Yes and some people criticize that. At the end of the day, my face will be on screen and I want to play the character as well as I can. I lived in New York with Jonathan Rhys Meyers while making the movie August Rush — in which I play a Dubliner — and it was helpful that Jonathan is Irish. I kept that accent for four months. That can be quite confrontational for people around me.
Jacqui :
Is it true you nearly scored the role of James Bond (that Daniel Craig won)?
Alex :
Yeah, it is. I flew to London and screen-tested for it — and obviously didn't get it. But at least I got to be Bond for a day!
Jacqui :
Despite not becoming James Bond, are people starting to recognise you in the street?
Alex :
Yes, it's weird. It's nice having your work recognized but having people follow you around is kinda weird.
Jacqui :
What do you want for Christmas?
Alex :
To sleep. I badly need a vacation.
