фотки с фанатами
А вот тётенька в фейсбуке выложила фото с того самого ужина *осуждающе завидует*))
С двумя сёстрами-близнецами, небольшой рассказ от одной: читать дальшеI got one by myself and then one with my twin sister. As I was walking up the girl before me was talking to the photographer so Dean turned to me and said “We’ll just let them finish that…” and then introduced himself etc. He was so kind and nice. Then after my individual photo was taken Laura joined me for the second photo and he was surprised and thought it was cool that we were twins.. I asked him to be confused in the photo, so he did and it was great! After the photo was taken we went to walk away but he was asking me who was older so when I said that I am, he asked how long by and when I said 26 minutes he whistled and said “wow, 26 minutes!” and I called back to him as I was walking away saying I’m never allowed to forget it and I could hear him laughing behind me. Was great!!
Oh, I forgot!! After I got my Dean photo and Laura walked up for the group one he turned to her and realised we’re twins and he was like “oh woah. What’s your name? Are you Rachel too?” And then afterwards the photographer said “but wouldn’t it be funny if it was R2!?” and Dean laughed/giggled and then launched the usual twin questions. His whistle is impressive, especially since I can’t whistle to save myself.

A beautiful hour of question taking, talking about photography, The Hobbit (The Dwarf Film/The Dwarvit), The Almighty Johnsons, chest hair, booty and fun times.
Hopefully they’ll post the video of this panel soon (because I know they were filming), but I wanted to share some of the stories he told us to the best of my memory. This is by no means in order.
One of the first questions of the panel was about photography and whether or not Dean had any new exhibitions planned. He does. He’s planning on doing exhibitions for the 100 year anniversary of World War I and the 100 year anniversary of Gallipoli.
He also has a collection of “Sleeping Dwarves” which he is not allowed to post on his website just yet. This information followed the question of who slept the most on set (not who slept with the most on set, apparently a better question) and whilst Dean stated that it was most probably him (later changing his answer to Stephen Hunter), he also said that he got a lot of great photos of the other cast falling asleep in their special dwarf-chairs (built to accommodate their fat suits). He also followed with an impression of Aidan Turner sleeping.
That marked the beginning of what would be several small impressions; including Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, James Nesbitt, Sir Ian McKellan, and Graham McTavish at the end. There were also a few Aidan stories, painting him as a confused creature who, along with James (Jimmy), is apparently impervious to alcohol.
Dean tried to keep up one night and suffered one of the worst hangovers, causing the prosthetics on his face to fall off since you sweat alcohol out and they use alcohol to remove the prosthetics in the first place. That was how they could tell who’d had a big night, because half their face would be falling off. Like Dwalin. Which is why he’s so grumpy.
(Graham McTavish is a lovely man, but if you piss him off he sort of goes all red and turns into Dwalin which is supposedly hilarious. We’re all encouraged to try and piss him off if we ever find ourselves at a Graham McTavish panel. No idea how, Dean never quite finished that thought.)
There was talk of make-up too, mostly just the really long time Stephen Hunter had to spend in the chair (mostly sleeping) and how despite all their (everyone’s but Richard, who never complained about anything ‘cause he’s Thorin and felt he ought to lead by example) complaints it really wasn’t that bad.
Speaking of Stephen Hunter, he was the centre of most of the answers to funniest moment on set. Like him getting stuck in a barrel (which was terrifying for him, but funny to everyone else) and the running scene where Bombur has to overtake everyone. He actually can run surprisingly fast even decked out in full costume.
Dean also talked about auditioning for Bilbo (if he could go back and do it again, he wouldn’t wear that orange jumper) and then getting invited to read for Fili with Aidan, and how it really helped that they got on so well, since they were looking for chemistry, brotherly chemistry (and yes, he did slightly stress that point).
There was a small anecdote about being on location and sharing a house with Aidan, James and Adam Brown. This was still talking about sleep and how after the first couple of weeks everyone was far too exhausted to do anything other than sleep or play Fifa 12, but somehow a rumour started about this massive party they’d thrown. They’d get questions like, which one of you threw the TV in the pool (what TV and they didn’t have a pool) and which of you drove across the tennis courts (there are no tennis courts), but they’d answer them anyway because it made them seem cool.
This is still on The Hobbit stuff and I have yet to touch The Almighty Johnson talk. I remember a lot more than I expected.
Someone asked what it was like working with Sir Ian McKellan. The answer was: hypnotic. He could be talking about breakfast (eggs) and you would want to know more about it (please, tell me more about these eggs). Dean also expressed a desire to work with Benedict Cumberbatch, Jeff Bridges (who he loves), Anthony Hopkins and (to be shouted at by) Al Pacino.
There was also talk about Martin Freeman (the perfect combination of puppies, jam and rage) and how great it was working him.
The rest of it was just talking about filming (no talk of BOFA I’m afraid which they’re still in the process of doing post-production voice stuff). Talking about all the green screen and how very green everything was (there might have been a note of hysteria, I don’t know) with green-suited pre-CGI’d orcs (who look like green gimps) and tiny sets surrounded by green.
There was a great story about that scene in Lake-town where Kili is on the table dealing with his thing and Fili is trying to comfort him. They filmed it on the larger set (where everything is huge) with Aidan costumed from the waist up, whilst from the waist down he was in these green tights. Then on the normal set, they had Ravi (Kili’s scale double) on the table, in green from the waist up whilst in costume from the waist down, kicking his legs (yes, Dean did do his own impression of Ravi’s legs) around whilst Peter Jackson is telling him that the legs need to be more like Aidan’s. Then they kind of merge the two together and Aidan no longer looks like a dancer in little green tights.
Personally, I feel there was a wasted elf joke there somewhere.
Someone also asked if thy’d gotten tattoos like the LOTR cast to commemorate their time working on the film.
They did. They got tattoos of the character’s faces tattooed on their arses, but it went along the line so Balin had Dwalin, Dwalin Balin, Fili Kili, Kili Fili, etc.
No, that isn’t true. Dean was lying. They thought about getting tattoos but ultimately decided to get rings instead which has the journey from The Shire to Erebor engraved on the inside with their character’s name written in khuzdul as well. You might notice them wearing it at the next premier. Except Aidan, who probably forgot they were even given rings.
They also got a lot of booty (pirate booty, not 2AM booty) to keep. Like their weapons (the proper steel ones too) and Fili’s underpants (which are incredibly itchy but really warm).
That about wraps up the Hobbit stuff, if I remember anything new I’ll be sure to add it. Now onto The Almighty Johnsons and just how Dean got such amazing chest hair.
Naturally, there was talk of Bragi. Bragi is a dick was Dean’s general opinion, but he liked that about his character. He also didn’t mind all the getting thrown around and general whumpage (as he seems to find himself cast in many things that see him being thrown around and the like) because Bragi is a dick. He’s like a mouth piece for all the things writer James Griffin wants to say, but is too shy to actually give voice.
Someone also asked if all the dwarf/hobbit/lotr references were scripted or if they were adlib. They were scripted. It was Griffin trying to see how many dwarf, height and chest hair jokes he could subject Anders to.
This brings us to the chest hair. See, way back when, when Dean was working on Young Hercules they were waxing his chest. Believing himself a man, Dean told them he could wax his own chest. Turns out he couldn’t and pretty much destroyed his chest, but an unexpected side effect was that all his chest hair eventually grew back all nice and curly. He told Griffin about this, or rather showed off his chest hair, and the next day found stuff about chest hair in the sсript.
Dean also said that his favourite character is Olaf, mostly because Ben Barrington is Olaf in that he is a one hundred year old man trapped in the body of thirty-five year old, and that his favourite scenes to film were the group scenes that had them all together.
Scenes like the Bergerbar, which by the way used real ice because silicon ice does not work. Dean actually asked if anyone had ever had ice shoved down their pants (I raised my arm and was pointed out by Dean as being the only honest person in the audience, which inspired more people to raise their hands). Tim Balme (Mike), who wrote the episode, actually saw it happen in a restaurant and thought it would be a fun thing to do to Anders.
That was about it for TAJ talk really.
There was also some comments made about the weather in Melbourne, which he didn’t expect would be as cold as New Zealand, and appreciation of some guys beard (it was pretty excellent) which led to the tragic tale of John Callen’s magnificent beard which was shaved off at the beginning of production for The Hobbit just so they could stick a false one to his face.
That was about it, if only that hour could go on forever.
и второй пост, про то, как девушка болтала с Дином, пока фотографировались, отсюда
Firstly, I must mention that I made a lovely new group of friends whilst waiting in line. They’ll be important a bit later.
Usually, I’m a sort of panicky mess when it comes to these sort of things and I had no reason to believe differently. Yet when I walked in, that group of friends lined up behind me, I was actually rather calm.
Dean was there in his knits (to offset the cold Melbourne whether) and did the usual hi, how are you, what’s your name and it’s a pleasure to meet you. I honestly thought that would be it as he put his arm around me in preparation for the photo. (For a poor height comparison, Dean is the same height as me, so if we ever happen to meet or you meet him you’ll know).
Only it wasn’t.
He started asking me about his jeans and if I thought they were too shiny as they were new. I told him they were not and that I rather liked his new jeans, then, looking to the camera, I told him I rather liked his beard too.
I kid you not when I say that elicited a somewhat unmanly, closed-mouth giggle that totally ruined my face for the photo (hence why I have not yet posted the photo).
Immediately following the photo, Dean turns to me (rubbing his beard in that way guys do when talking about or inspecting their beards) and says that it’s not really a beard and that it use to be much more beard-like, but he shaved it. That earned him a small chorus of dismayed shouts from that group of friends I was telling you about.
Unfortunately, the shaving had to be done as it apparently looked as if a large ginger cat had somehow attached itself to his face. I laughed, he laughed and then I said my farewells, telling him it was an absolute pleasure to have met him and he returning the sentiment.
It was rather a good experience.

Говорят, это картина самого Дина на фоне. Хм. мне смутно помнится что-то такое... знакомое. Тоже то ли из твиттера, то ли из инстаграма у кого-то из приятелей-Жонсонов... А ещё кажется похожим на картину папы Дина. в общем, что-то однозначно не совсем левое.

The Iris Interview: Dean O’Gorman of The Hobbit trilogy ahead of Melbourne’s Oz Comic-Con!
by Sosefina Fuamoli | 02nd Jul 2014
I don’t feel like I’m speaking with a member of a multi-million blockbuster film franchise when I’m speaking with New Zealand’s Dean O’Gorman. His role as Fili in Peter Jackson’s recent film adaptation of the Tolkien-created mythology that is The Hobbit is now golden fodder for fanfic writers around the world and with the third and final installment of the trilogy being released at the end of the year, fans are highly anticipating his return to the screen alongside what has become one of the most bankable casts in film today. Do you get any kind of ego or bravado when it comes to having a conversation with the man, though? Not an inkling. Returning to Australia for Oz Comic-Con in Melbourne, O’Gorman doesn’t need the lowdown on what to expect from Australian convention fans, he’s an old hand, having attended the OCC stops in April, as well as previous expos last year.
“Because the last movie is coming out,” he explains. “It’s a good time to jump over and meet the fans of the convention and then next year, who knows? I don’t know about next year…I’ll definitely pop over a couple of times. It’s closer than America! A four hour flight is way better than a 12 hour flight, that’s for sure.”
Having last caught up with O’Gorman in the midst of a crazy weekend last November, he was probably one of the most chilled out guests I had the pleasure of hanging with. Spending time on McLeod’s Daughters back in the day meant O’Gorman was based in Adelaide for filming, offering up quips about SA even I didn’t know off the top of my head. Doing what we Australians do all too often, I let him know we’re going to be claiming him as one of our own, especially if these frequent visits continue.
“It does feel like it!” he laughs. “It can be quite odd, spending so much time back and forth in Australia. It’s mainly because of these conventions, I didn’t realise there was as much of a fan base in Australia, so it’s good fun! I was a McLeod’s boy for about nine months, I think, but I lived in Sydney and Melbourne a little bit for almost three years, a long time ago. As soon as I left a while ago, I hadn’t really been back, so doing The Hobbit has been quite a good opportunity to come back and visit friends. I’ve got a few friends still over there, but obviously, I had to leave. It’s been nice.”
Of course, being part of one of the biggest film series’ of the last few years has prevented O’Gorman and his cast mates from discussing The Hobbit much in any capacity, though he does offer up little nuggets of information about the current film’s process which should excite many who are now counting down the months to the final film’s premiere.
“It’s going well, it’s close to wrapping up now.” he reveals. “We finished the principal photography last year, just before we’d spoken and now, there is just little bits and pieces to do. We’ve got some ADR coming up in a month and I’ll get to see not the finished film, but a lot more finished [version of the] film than I saw the last time! Then, I guess, once I’ve done that, we’ll be doing the final press circuit for the trilogy, which will be really strange, because every time the cast and the crew all get together we always say ‘goodbye’, but it doesn’t really feel like goodbye because we know that in a few months, we’ll be doing more work on it and we’ll see each other again. This time will be the last time. I think it will be sad too. I mean, I don’t remember how many years we’ve been on this journey for now, but it feels like a long time. It’s maybe four years? Four and a bit years, you know? I don’t know where the press junket is going and what’s happening with it this year, but that’ll be a last hurrah.”
Surprisingly, O’Gorman hasn’t been the only member of The Hobbit films who’ve made the trip out to Australia to meet fans while the series has been in filming or post-production. Stephen Hunter, John Callen, Mark Ferguson, Adam Brown, Jed Brophy and O’Gorman’s Dwarf brother/fellow ladykiller Aidan Turner have all made the trip out to meet with fans of The Hobbit and the wider Lord of the Rings universe, demonstrating the lengths this franchise has been willing to go to connect with a passionate and extensive fan base. Considering how close Australia is to Middle Earth, I mean New Zealand, it shouldn’t be so surprising that these visits exist, but again, with these actors being based as far as the US and the UK, the luckiness factor hasn’t escaped the fans out this way, nor has it gone over the tops of the actors’ heads either. It’s a mutual feeling.
“I’m pleasantly surprised about the reaction from Australians, you know?” O’Gorman admits, laughing. “I’m used to thinking that something out of New Zealand…Australians don’t care about! It’s so different to that, though. In a smaller way, I’ll be actually relieved when the third film comes out because, in terms of doing press and the many conventions I’d do afterwards, we can actually talk about it in its entirety. Peter [Jackson] did say when he was filming, he’d say he always had the films as a single film in mind. He would imagine people clear their day and sit down and watch the whole trilogy; it’s split into three, but it is one story and I think that the people who I have met who are fans of the film really can’t wait to see the last one. They’re asking me how closely it sticks to the book, what happens…You could argue that, because the book is already out, people know what happens but then, people also know that directors like to take liberties with the book. You never know what and which way it’s going to go. I like that, because I like having that as a secret to myself. I met Billy Boyd ['Pippin', Lord of the Rings] earlier this year and he was saying that for him, it was only once the third film came out that he felt like the reaction was the strongest. It was the trilogy that cemented it as being this big, epic thing in his mind in terms of how fans reacted to it, you know? It’ll be interesting to see how it goes.”
Reflecting on how epic The Hobbit’s press junkets and promo tours have been in the past few years, it will be bittersweet when the cast embarks on their final run of tours, but O’Gorman admits he’s loving being at home in Auckland for the present moment. While he’s been able to enjoy a healthy acting career thus far, the actor (and photographer) isn’t shy in commenting on the pace this industry travels at and how it can take its toll.
“There is nothing on the immediate horizon!” he says. “There are a couple of New Zealand films that I have been attached to, but there a no set dates in terms of the start of production. For me at the moment, I am back in Auckland, which I feel like I’ve only just arrived back to after years. I am building a back deck and I am planting gardens and things like that. Domestic life! When I was younger, I tried to run away from it and now I’ve been hankering for it. I mean, I’m sure a lot of actors feel the same way, but for me, I have to enjoy the quiet times because when it gets busy, it gets really busy. There is no time for anything else. Getting The Hobbit was really good because actors can feel anxious sometimes about when you finish one job, what’s next? The Hobbit really showed me that you never know what’s around the corner. I just take my down time and I do as much as I can for me, because I know that when the next job comes along, I’m not going to have any time and I’ll just be back to working long hours!”
This is your time, Melbourne fans of The Hobbit. Before it all kicks off for O’Gorman again, he’s expecting to meet you all and get amongst one of his former city haunts. Obviously a favourite of the convention circuit not only in Australia, but abroad as well, O’Gorman will be pulling numbers in, as he has done with each con he’s attended in the past, this weekend at the Royal Exhibition Building for sure. Noting the nature of conventions like Oz Comic-Con and how they can be perceived by some, O’Gorman is open about how well he’s been treated.
“I’d never done any of these conventions before,” he admits. “I didn’t know what to expect. Lots of people have lots of different opinions of them; I personally find they can be a lot of fun, more than I thought they ever really would be. They are quite fun and you know, Stephen Hunter lives in Australia, so he generally comes along with me and so it’s like a weekend away! It’s like a holiday! I really enjoy it and I do like getting feedback about work, because I think it happens rarely. I don’t know about Australia, but in New Zealand, even if people enjoy your work or have heard of what you do, you won’t get a lot of feedback because it’s not really in our nature for us to say things too often. It’s like, ‘I don’t want to say we’ve enjoyed it in case they get a big head’, which mightn’t be Australian, but it’s very common to New Zealanders – it’s a strange thing. Going to these conventions and getting to meet people and realising that there is an audience out there is really nice, because with film and TV…it’s fun, because it’s more about what you’re doing in the moment and the choices you make, but I think most actors would agree that it’s nice to have an audience that you are aware of, at some point. Otherwise, actors would do monologues to their mirrors in their bedroom and I don’t want to do that.”
Пара хороших красивых фоточек с панели (гм, да, никак не могу привыкнуть к тому, как это двусмысленно звучит))) Смотреть
И видеоинтервью с самого комик-кона и кучка прекрасных гифонек из него. Смотреть-переться
ну и кучка всякого с фанатами и от фанатовКакой он рыжий всё-таки)))))
За эти две спасибо Та:я)
Ну не прелесть ли?))
Ыыы, такое ощущение, что её потом тросом от Дина отцеплять пришлось)))
Диалог под фото доставил)
Me: “Hi!”
Him: “Hello, what’s your name?”
Me: “Nichola!” *giggling*
Him: “What’s the joke?”
Me: “You’re so pretty!!”
Him: “That’s not a bad thing, is it?”
Me: “No!”
Эти две я ещё отдельно под кат положу, потому что там по просьбе альтернативно одарённых фанаток Дин корчит рожи. Лично мне как-то... В общем, лучше под кат))
