Well, I'm still up so I don't think you're sad!
But then I work on student time, so it may be a bit different for me.

Great interview though, so thanks!

I'm still up too...mainly because I can't sleep for this blinking cold/sore throat!

Smashing interview/article, thanks Kath. Lovely to read that his favourite drive was with his dad across America.......so typical of him.

Had to smile at this next bit though:-
"First thing you do when you arrive somewhere new?

Go down to the sea, or to the middle of the forest, or climb the mountain. However, there are those who know me who would probably argue that I'd check for the nearest broadband connection! "

Julian's stolen my dream though...I too have always wanted to go to the Hermitage in St Petersburg. .wonder if we could go together?!:roll:

Wonder if his next holiday will coincide with Steve's play [The Norman Conquests] possibly going to Broadway?!

There's a lovely photo with the printed version..... I can't scan it at the moment as I'm having computer problems, but will put it up here when I'm properly reconnected to the interweb.

Lovely article. I love the fact that when asked about his favourite meal he describes a drink!!!

Got to admit I love the 101 drive from San Fran to LA used to do it quite regularly. There's some great twists and turns and you get some breathtaling clifftop views.

Ok I've made myself feel homesick now for LA

Just checked out the website for that Cocoa Island place...bloody hell! No wonder he says you need to know someone with a spare £1million!

Relatives of mine went there went for a month a few years ago...said it was literally Heaven on earth! Only holiday they'd ever had when they really didn't want to come home.

......must remember to buy a Lottery ticket!

Here's that photo - will improve the quality when I have a moment...

OMG BED-HEAD!
*dies*

That is the sexiest photo I have ever seen!

My GOD!

I feel we should have been warned about that photo. :

Thanks for the early christmas present though

Wow!

A friend at work saved me her copy so it will be joining the other photos I have of him on my locker

Oh my goodness - I've done something he'd like to have done - picture it, Leningrad, Easter 1981 - I was there for a month supposedly learning Russian. Stayed in the Carlton Hotel in the centre of town. Visited the Hermitage on many occasions. It would take 11 years to see everything there, apparently. we thought we were going to develop scurvy due to lack of fresh fruit. I bet it's changed now.

Have just put this photo as my desktop background. This even beats the pics in "My Celebrity Boyfriend" which I eventually treated myself to recently (through the Amazon link). Better go and lie down now - well, it is nearly 2am.
Watched him in The Crooked House tonight too - on headphones - even scarier. Nice close-ups. I think he would have been a good curator... then he would have been in all 3! Am I biased or is he really always the best actor in everything?
Have a nice Christmas everybody.

Just done a very quick photoshop job on the photo, which I think improves the quality slightly?



I could probably do more if I actually knew what I was doing. Lol.

Thanks FQ - I was just going to do pretty much what you have - played around with the colour balance a bit. I understand from my sons that you can do something fancy to improve the skin tone, but I need a lesson in that I think

Still, a lovely photo anyway!

I went to the bar in the Hotel de Crillion earlier and had an espresso martini - it was AMAZING! I have some photos I can put up once I'm back in London. My goal in life is to earn enough to be able to have more than one drink there without feeling incredibly guilty.

Thanks for the tip Julian!

...bet it doesn't beat the strawberry daiquiri I had when staying in the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai! [yes it's the one on the left of the photo, that was recently bombed!]

Nah the whole place itself was amazing, as well as the drink! Will have to go back and spend a whole evening there once I've earnt my fortune.

Edit: here's a photo of the bar



It was awesome.
