I agree that these photos are awfully stalkerish.
On the other hand, this happened in November. I think there are maybe twice a year some photos that haven't been linked to an event, like seeing him at the airport or on his way to surfing or buying beer with friends or taking breakfast. That's not that much, I guess. He's just awfully boring. :snicker:
If he had been partying with different women on his side, drunk driving, flipping the paparazzi off, yelling at a concierge or anything like that, there would be way more interest. He's dealing with things quite well in just ignoring the attention, knowing full well it will go away.

He is, Francis... :yes:

:kiss: Awww come on...boring???? Have you seen this man in motion pushing a cart? (TBUP for instance) the man definitely has a distracting walk about him. They just couldn't resist the snap. Too bad the static pic can't catch all that poetry in motion and do it justice. :hearts:

He can't help it. He's been cursed with being Perpetually Cool since 2007 :devil: so much so he wears his shades...indoors Image

For the mental pic... :smooch:

:snicker: If you check my post on the previous page and then reread Francis' , we are being facetious. No he's not boring. But he lives an adamantly quiet life wherein he spurns tabloidesque behaviours... so yeah, to TMZ and Perez, boring. And we're celebrating that... :winky:

Although yeah, a few crazy fans think his GF's wardrobe or his own weight and hairstyles somehow constitutes tragic breaking news headlines... :biggrin:

I don't want to upset anyone so my rant about some fans talking about Alex is in spoiler tags. Don't read if these things upset you.
Spoiler:
Some are even discussing that thankfully he's putting on weight again because he's looking so healthy in these pictures. Not that we know exactly when they were taken, nor that we can weigh him from looking at him. :banghead:

Hi everyone,

Since this has turned into quite a discussion, we've opened a thread, inviting all of our members to participate. http://www.moonlightaholics.com/viewtop ... =56&t=9562 Because privacy, and the question of what's too invasive, is an issue bigger than just one star, much as we love Alex. We hope everyone will participate in the discussion.

And this thread can go back to its original purpose, which is appreciation of Alex. :heart:

Baseball-throwing Alex... :hearts: I loved his story on the Bonnie Hunt show, about running out onto the field at Dodger Stadium, and running up onto the pitcher's mound, feeling like the whole thing was in slow motion--and the whole crowd went, "OOOOooooooh!" :rolling: (Usually the first pitch is thrown from in front of the mound, to make it easier for the person to get the ball all the way to the catcher, so Alex put extra pressure on himself by going all the way to the top of the mound... and he told Bonnie that his buddy, who was catcher, said it was a perfect curveball strike... at about 15 miles an hour.) :snicker: I love the fact that he's so willing to tell those funny stories on himself, what a sweetie. :hug:

I can't believe that not one person in Dodger stadium took a video of this. He was so cute doing it too.

It kinda looks like a grin of mingled triumph and relief, huh? :teeth:

OK, I couldn't resist. I capped a few expressions from Alex's story to Bonnie Hunt. All courtesy of the video on AOLR. Sorry they're pixillated, I'll try to get better (but smaller) ones later.

This is the middle of Alex's "oooooOOOOOOOOoooooh!" that the crowd did when he went up the mound...

Image

Here he's describing what the trainer for the Dodgers, who gave him his pitching lesson, had told him to do: "Kick the dirt, yeah, I'm really here, breathe, in, out, shoulders down, do the thing, twist, knee goes up, and--" (makes a "whoosh" noise as he does this cute throwing motion)

Image

"And then my buddy caught it, and I was like--"

Image

(and he did this adorable little giggle, like "OMG I can't believe I did that!") :melts: :happysigh:

He's just the cutest cute that ever cuted. How he can be so sexy hot at the same time is a miracle. :hearts:
