Ioan Mentions

I got a little Ioan mention I was watching "The Soup" Friday (5/30/07) and Joel McHale mentioned Hugh Hefner wanted Robert Downey Jr. to play him in a biopic about his life because of his great performance in "Iron Man." Then Joel said, "Really? Iron Man? Why not the guy from Fantastic Four that's all rubbery?" Then a picture of Ioan from FF2 popped up. Then I said to the TV, "He's not just a guy. It's Ioan!!!" What a freak I am. Anyway, I thought that was pretty cool.

Not that I'm a fan of Hugh Hefner, but that is kind of funny that Ioan got a mention or at least his picture did. I probably would have leaped out of my seat, too Semo.

I saw this on imdb.com Gruffudd's 'Bad Audition' Lands Rhys A Role 2 June 2008 9:00 AM, PDT Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd deliberately sabotaged his audition for new movie The Edge Of Love - in a bid to help his pal Matthew Rhys land a part. Director John Maybury says Rhys is now indebted to Gruffudd after helping him secure a part in the movie based on Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. Maybury says, "Matthew got his mate Ioan to do a really bad audition on the same tape as his own audition. "That way I'd look at Ioan's first and say 'Oh, that's bad', before seeing Matthew's wonderful performance." http://www.imdb.com/news/ns0000002/

hehehe!!!! Nice to meet you Semo and thanks for the mentions. Also thanks to muvidlover!!!! I love you right now!!!!!

Hello Semo! :) Thank you for the mentions. :applaud: I wonder if the audition story is real?? WOULD be nice from Ioan!

Mattie always says that he´s very grateful to Ioan for that "sacrifice" hehehehehe!!!!!

Greater love hath no man,than to botch up his own audition for his friend! Yes,I wondered about the validity of this story,too,----after I thought about it for a while.

IThe article is the same, but I really like the title FPhilosopher gave to it. :) http://www.flickfilosopher.com/blog/2008/06/strange_tales_of_hollywood_nic.html

I do like that title better, too.

Thanks for this new article Annee. :) Well it looks "too nice" to be true :mrgreen:, but MAYBE it is true. :wink: I can't say. :unsure:
