Don't blame Josh for your perverted thoughts!

**Hawthorn** · 10-07-2007, 04:54 AM

Usually I blame you and Maria for currupting the innocent fangirl in me. ^_^

**Crystaline** · 10-07-2007, 10:21 PM

Pfft! Pervert!Fran was always beneath the surface. Maria and I only awakened her to come out and play.

**Hawthorn** · 10-08-2007, 03:10 AM

That's good.

A mention of Josh in this blog, the author met him on September 29th:

Quote:

Kirk has become a fan of the TV show Lost recently, and being on Hawaii, where the show is filmed, he of course ended up meeting some of them Lost People. Mostly members of the Crew, who we met one of, with his wife and totally adorable kid, Milo, who Shelley adored, but as the party moved into the evening, we also got to meet a couple of the Cast members, which was very cool. First Jorge Garcia (Hurley) and then later, Josh Holloway (Sawyer) and his wife arrive. Eventually we are all hanging around the dessert table, talking about good food and good chocolate and strange kids running around and chatting and joking… it was very nice, pleasant, and totally casual conversation. The best way to meet people. No celebrity pressures, just friends hanging out and sharing stories.

Good food and chocolate. That is one discussion I'd be happy to have. LOL. Thanks for posting, Fran!

**Hawthorn** · 10-08-2007, 04:42 AM

I would do great in a discussion about food and chocolate too.

Veronakat · 10-08-2007, 03:03 PM

chocolate + Josh

And thanks Louise for the Josh calendar link! I think I already know what I'm going to get for Christmas besides the LOST DVDs

'Tombstoning' Davidoff ad clear

The advertising watchdog has cleared an ad for Davidoff aftershave featuring Lost actor Josh Holloway diving off a cliff, despite complaints that the ad condoned the dangerous practice known as "tombstoning".

Holloway, who plays bad boy Sawyer in Lost, features in the TV ad for Davidoff Cool Water walking along a harbour to a cliff edge high above the ocean.

One shot shows that the rocks jut out into the ocean further than the cliff edge the actor is standing on - although there is a sign stating "deep water".

Four viewers complained to the Advertising Standards Authority that the cliff dive looked like tombstoning - a practice where people dive into the ocean, often without checking the depth of the water, which has claimed a number of lives in the UK.

The complainants argued that the ad "condoned a dangerous practice" that would result in people, especially children, wanting to copy the act because an actor from a popular TV show was doing it.

Davidoff brand-owner Coty argued that the deep water sign and the style of the dive - graceful as opposed to a freefall jump - made it clear to viewers that it was taking place in a safe setting.

The Broadcast Advertising Clearance Centre, where ads are vetted before being aired, said it had been aware of the issue of tombstoning when considering the ad but had concluded that its style was "over-the-top and fantastical".

However, the BACC decided that because the ad did feature a cliff jump it should have an "ex-kids" rating, meaning it could only be shown after 9pm.

In its ruling, the ASA said that the ad made no reference to Lost or suggested that Holloway was appearing as his character from the show and therefore people were unlikely to emulate him because he was on TV.

The ASA also concluded that it was clear there was no element of the dive being done as a dare or performed with the protagonist seeking acceptance from a crowd. It therefore cleared the ad.

Who in their right mind is going to see Josh jumping off a cliff in a commercial and try to emulate him? Seriously?!

-Louise- · 10-11-2007, 03:36 AM

seriously?! Next they will have a message on the bottom of the advert saying:

"please do not try this at home - only ridiculously sexy man are capable of doing this"

There's a toothpaste advert over here that shows a man and a woman diving off a huge cliff into a bottomless area of water in their P.J.'s so I don't see why they are making a fuss over Josh's one.

As promised this is the pic and article about Josh this week in Spanish mag "TV Mas":

WHO IS...?

Josh Lee Holloway (plays James Sawyer), a sheep with wolf skin in “Lost.”

His look didn’t help him when he started his actor career.

He started as a model.
Josh Lee Holloway was born on July 20th, 1969 in San José, California and his handsome look allowed him succeed as a model. However it was harder in the show business till he got his big chance with the role of James Sawyer Ford in Lost.

All heart.
Sawyer, his character in the TV show, is one of the most charismatic.
Under his appearance of tough guy he hides a big heart. He is in love with Kate, which causes a conflict with Jack.

A man from the countryside
Although Josh Lee Holloway was born in California, his family moved to Georgia very soon. He considers himself a "Blue Ridge Mountain boy” although he resides in Los Angeles.

Tough beginnings.
Far from helping to his actor career, his physical appearance was a handicap, because when he decided to become an actor he could only found roles in TV shows like Angel or C.S.I. being just a pretty face.

The chance.
He was about to give up when the TV show Lost knocked on his door. Feeling pretty euphoric, first thing he did was met up with his girlfriend, Yessica Kumala, to propose her. They married on 1 October 2004.

Likes and dislikes
He hates having to keep his hair long, like he does in Lost and being considered just a pretty face. “It’s hard to find roles whose appealing isn’t based on the physical appearance”, he assures. He loves fried chicken and chocolate cake.

More TV
Whisper has just been released in the States and his near future consists on keep on doing Lost, whose end is scheduled for season 6.

Thanks Susana!

**Hawthorn** · 10-13-2007, 12:13 PM

Thanks Susana! For scan and translation.
The magazine was pretty nice with Josh, although it's just a short article.
I like to hear them pointing out that there is a lot more than a jerk in Sawyer and a stud in Josh.

This is hardly a "news", but:

Josh Holloway and David Emerson of "Lost" were in a dinner party at Cassis last week ...

David Emerson?

Veronakat · 10-13-2007, 06:13 PM

You're welcome Crystal and Fran

. Yes, it's short and doesn't say anything new but at least he's drawing the media attention here and that's very good

I guess they meant Michael Emerson, right?

**Crystaline** · 10-13-2007, 06:35 PM

Thanks for the tidbit, Fran! So Josh is still in Hawaii and Emerson is in LA. So says Jorge.
