Very nice pic (it is from a photocall in Madrid last July, during the promotion of FF2)! Thanks, Annee.

lovely pics thankyou although I can't quite picture Ioan as Tony Blair I will need some convincing

I think he'll just be a much better looking version, Midnight. :wink: Or at least I hope they do make him up too much to look like Tony Blair.

I'm hoping this will be an interpretive role rather than a representational one (knowing Oliver Stone) Trying to make Ioan an impersonation of Tone wouldn't work, in my book.

I'm with you on this, Stevie. I think it is often a good idea to interpret rather than represent historical characters, especially when it comes to depict characters from contemporary history. I guess that the comparison with the original would be too 'direct' if you tried to impersonate a character well-known to many.

I have a thing for that pic of Ioan (The article is about W). Does anyone know when it was taken? http://www.interwebnewsservice.com/2008/04/more-casting-for-oliver-stones-w.html

Anne, I don't know for sure when that picture was from, but I think it was pre-FF. Stevie and Frances - I agree with you on that. I re-read my post and thought - No that should have been "I don't want them to make Ioan up so that he looks like Blair." I would much rather look at Ioan than a Tony Blair look-a- like.

ME,too,GG. Somehow that would be quite appealing to me. I'm looking forward to it eagerly.

WelshCake with watch on his right wrist. I so like this pic, especially because it's black and white. http://daininsh.livejournal.com/13795.html EDIT: OTHER PICS http://daininsh.livejournal.com/13898.html

These are all classic Welshboy pics that we're very familiar with (for which I'm very grateful, Ioan!) but always worth a reminder!!!!!

Old but It was a great to see them again. I hope it's the same for you.

Thanks, Annee! Nice pics of Ioan.

I just found these old pics. IMO, they are not bad at all and I hope you will enjoy them, too. http://lee-fragilidad.livejournal.com/16362.html

Definitely not bad at all, I'd say that there are some of the nicest pics of Ioan on that LJ page. Thanks, Annee.

Great pictures Annee. I remember most from the second group, but had never seen the Emmy pictures. Thanks.
