prove he's too thin. Except he isn't.
His BMI is 23.1 which is perfectly (of course) within the normal range. At 200, he technically was slightly overweight, probably from muscle mass, at 26.1. I used every version of the calculator I could find, specifically for males, even age rated, and it still came out that way. The only negative I could find was the National Institue of Heart and Lung Health that says normal body fat should be a wee bit higher than 7%.

He is a god.
As for my numbers,

God bless you, Sweetie.

You are honest. About your preferences and your research.
His very last set of pics do look a bit thin, by American standards anyway

, but he clearly is a healthy man... and there is a range for healthy; he's been there since we've known him, give or take 20 pounds here and there.
And you are right. He is a god.

Someone asked earlier if anyone had a copy.
Yes. It's on newsstands now. I bought a copy this evening. ($4.99, if you're wondering...)
I felt a little funny buying "Men's Fitness," but decided I would claim it was for my husband....and then this happened:
Sales girl (cute young thing with teeth as white as Jordan Belfi's, almost) scans my couple of random vampire books. Then she sees the magazine and: "Squeeeee! Oh, my ___ , that's Alex O'Loughlin! I LOVE him!"
Me: Yeah, one of the best vampires, EVER.
Her: You know I fell for him in August Rush. Such a tiny part, but he was just...and I was like "Who IS this guy?" and my friend said, "Oh, him...haven't you seen Moonlight?" and that was just awesome, and now there's Hawaii 5-O.
me: Uh, yeah. **nervous look at other customers stacking up behind me** The other guy in Moonlight was pretty awesome also--Jason Dohring.
her: **blank look** There was another guy?
me: **mentally rolling eyes** Oh, yeah.
her: I guess I get tunnel vision whenever he's on screen. I don't see anyone else.
me: That happens a lot.
her: are there pictures inside the magazine?
me: **flipping it open to article, ignoring people behind me** Oh, yeah--good ones!
her: Wow! I've gotta get a copy of that! And I hear he's really a great guy--and very good with his fans.
me: Yes, that's true. I know people who have met him, and they all say he's wonderful.
angry mob in background: **mutters menacingly**
me: Always nice to meet another fan! Bye!! **makes escape, clutching magazine.**
Now, I know there's been discussion, about whether someone who ran across Alex in a small part, and heaven knows he was barely on screen in August Rush, would notice him. I guess, now we know!

I was at a big chain bookstore, with a good magazine section...and they had 5-6 copies, altho one had a damaged cover. The nerve of those people, testing Alex's cover!

Cause of cover damage? Over-stroking, I would imagine.

I got mine at Barnes and Noble tonight. I almost picked up Men's Health which had Stephen Moyer from True Blood on the cover.
