Ioan Gruffud: Mr. Fantastic Threads Merged

[Lord Valumart]

I thought you did a great job Ioan Fan! :up: You just can't please some people! :rolleyes: :p Lord Valumart....do you have a stalker? Webmistress, are you a friendly stalker or a scary stalker?!! Lord Valumart is one of the few male forum members who is still brave enough to venture into the fan-girl territory that is Ioan's thread here..... we don't want him scared off!!! :p

Kathy :)
here's the whole stroy:

i hit on her, we lost contact, we then regained contact, i put a price on her head, she dislikes me, i said the bloke who plays Anakin in ep 3 should die, she hats me more.

i think??

[AnotherIoanFan]

hmmmm......seems she can't hate you that much if she's following you around...http://apache.airnet.com.au/~fidge/battingeyelashes.gif Maybe she still fancies you!!

Anyway, back to Ioan.....here are a couple of interviews - the first from Sync magazine ("America's Gadget Guide") June/July 2005 issue, #7. (thanks to Jude and Teresa)

Mister Fantastic

Wee Welsh Actor Ioan Gruffudd Morphs Into a Mighty Man in Tights in This Summer's Fantastic Four

By John Mihaly"
Filling a superhero's tights is a stretch for any actor, and never more so than when he's pouring himself into the spandex tights of Mr. Fantastic, the Silly Putty-limbed team leader of the Fantastic Four. But Ioan Gruffudd (pronounced "YO-an Griffith") - most recently seen as Lancelot in last summer's King Arthur, sharing screen time and meaningful glances with Keira Knightly - is prepared: "I'm expecting kids to start pulling my arms, " he says. The Welsh actor beat out the likes of George Clooney and Brendan Fraser for the role, endured long, physical days in a sweaty costume and put up with the obvious jokes about the contents of his codpiece. (Gruffudd replies to the jibe, "Does everything on Mr. Fantastic stretch?" With a sly, "There's no need for stretching there.") The reward? Make-out moments with luscious Jessica Alba, who plays Susan storm, aka Invisible Woman.

"It was great fun to shoot those scenes with Jessica, but then I'd have to redo it for the visual effects camera without her there," Gruffudd says. "The snickering crew watched me passionately kiss the air."
As the "smart one" from the classic Marvel Comics series, Mr. Fantastic would have no trouble with today's high-tech toys. But the mild-mannered 31-year-old Gruffudd isn't quite so gizmo-savvy. "When I buy something, I sit down and read the book that comes with it," he says. "I'm a bit anal in the sense that I want to get to know something properly before I use it. But when I set up my TiVo, I was so excited to have it that I didn't set it up the right way." Still, Gruffudd owns an iPod, albeit the "look at me" black-and-red U2 version. "It matches the interior of my Jaguar," he sheepishly explains.

Gruffudd may need to tint his Jag's windows, as FF will vault him into Hugh Jackman-esque action-figure status. And when you bump into him, do act impressed - even if he can't reach the top shelf for you. "I'm sure that people will be very disappointed if they meet me," Gruffudd says. "I get a lot of 'You're much shorter than I thought you'd be!'"

There's also one on the ICWales website:
http://icwales.icnetwork.co.uk/0100news/0200wales/tm_objectid=15594082&method=full&siteid=50082&headline=ioan--i-m-california-dreaming-name_page.html

I thought this bit was very cute!!
"It's incredibly exciting to see myself up on the posters, that's something that I've only dreamed of and now it's becoming reality. But a poster is here today, gone tomorrow so I'm enjoying it while it's there, running out and taking pictures of myself!"

Kathy :)

[MyIoan]

Thanks for the articles Another Ioan Fan. Sounds like he is preparing for fame this time out. It was a real thrill for me to walk in to the theater yesteday and see that Mr Fantastic banner hanging there! It must be a real kick for him, since he has dreamed of this for so long.

"I can ballet dance, although i don't like"

But the results are spectacular,as the similarly reluctant Gruffudd noted, specially if you add padding!-Take the Fantastic four example and persevere, lord Valumart. Even DOOM went super disco fashion, if swan lake doesnt convince you.

Second bunch...and I'm starting to warm to Ioan's new hairstyle!!! :p

[Mrs. Fantastic]

Personally, I his hair in Hornblower and/or King Arthur. If he's not going to wear it like that, he might as well wear it any way he wants. The heck with him, he never asks my opinion on such stuff. See if I care.

I like the dishevelled look here much better, as well. Because the outfit he's dishevelling is very simple. Black and white. It works. Naturally, he never asks me about his wardrobe either, because that's the kind of stuck up guy he seems to be.

Mrs. F.
/to show my disgust at his attitude, I no longer ask him what he thinks I should wear to work -- I know it's bugging him, deep down

NO!!!

it can't be on the 2nd page, EVER!!!!!!!!!!

[Lady Stormcrow]

Lucky I was there to save Ioan from certain...page 2-ness!!!

[Lord Valumart]

page 2, the page of evil, well, for this thread anyhow.

[Lady Stormcrow]

Indeed. Only lovely page 1ness is good enough for Ioan.

[Lord Valumart]

yes......Ioan.....

Only slightly? awww. I am losing my annoying nagging femenine slappy hand action power thingy.

Yes, but it wasn't a good change. The minimalism of black and white allows his casual elegance to shine in the female slaying manner to which we've become accustomed. There's no point in appearing in public looking like you picked your outfit at random out of the clothes dryer, when you can make an simple, classy appearance that causes ovaries to explode from sheer joy.

Hee hee, that made me laugh when someone told me.

Its funny cos its true. aww, poor ioan, his hairdo is fine whatever it looks like. except shaved: a definate no-no.

[Lord Valumart]

he needs to adopt the Reed look for normal every day stuff.

[Lady Stormcrow]

That would be cool, but at the same time wierd, with a pinch of extremely sexy added in for good measure.

[Mrs. Fantastic]

he needs to adopt the Reed look for normal every day stuff.

I've seen ample photos where, with the addition of a labcoat and gray temples, that he could easily pass that test.

Mrs. F.

Oh,the labcoat.That reminds me thiswas the first Ioan with Reed look that left me speechless and looking to Murcia.

[AnotherIoanFan]

I don't know if it will be on in the UK as well.. Do you have the Biography Channel over there? Might be worth keeping an eye out for it. We have that channel over here in Oz on cable (which I don't have :( ) but I'm not sure if ours has all the same shows as the US. (I love the fact that you're Scottish!! I "read" all your posts with a Scottish accent!! :) And never mind about the spandex...I'm sure Mrs Richards won't mind!!:p )

"Dear God, why haven't I STILL seen Horatio Hornblower yet? "

I will forever thank my luck I knew of the previous Gregory Peck film and adored it, so that I decided to" import" one vhs of "that series" from Britain, just to give it a try-Spain is not the country which would naturally show movies of the Sharpe or Hornblowers type,and it hasnt.And there it was, the Examination for lieutenat( I even didnt know the order) and sweet, impossibly beautiful young Ioan in all his glowing glory


http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/morgun/horn28.jpg


Oh well, if they dont make more movies, which would be a shame, at least we got to see him growing up with the character and becoming almost a captain.One epaulette is better than none.

Just got done watching this show. It repeats a few more times. Ioan was wonderful and looked and sounded "fantastic". The also showcased Jessica Alba, Kerry Washington, and Michael Chiklis!

There were different clips shown of "FF" for each of them as well as still pics showing them in other roles. They showed several from "Horatio Hornblower" for Ioan. They spent about two minutes talking but no "one on one" interviewer was shown, just the editor of the magazine speaking and narrating each one.

Ioan was funny with his answer when asked what would have to occur in order for him to be able to say he finally reached the top. He answered: "appearing on Oprah"!! LOL!!!

Hopefully I'll be able to put a link up to our ioanonline site to view a video clip of it. The gal that always does them for our site was supposedly going to do one for this. I'll post again if that happens.

[Ioan Fan]

Here's the link to the video clip page containing the link to the show. Thanks to Lynn over at ioaononline.com for making the clip!! Just scroll down slightly to the "Interviews" and it's the third one ("Ioan on Biography Channel")

Hey conchi, you always have great Mr Fantastic pictures! I wish my F4 comic collection was as impressive as yours!

It´s great to read how Gorgeous Ioan, besides being gorgeous, it´s still sweet like a compote pear,my the gods preserve him so.:) -Thanks, AnotherIonFan.

" Hey conchi, you always have great Mr Fantastic pictures! I wish my F4 comic collection was as impressive as yours"
All the contrary, Mrs Richards:oo -what I´m doing with my silly scannings is giving away the fact that I had gone completely old school with my comics and that I woudnt be so keen on seeing the movie if certain Welsh beauty were not in it and a certain George Clooney was in his place. But I still persist in saying Ioan has been well chosen.

Let's not forget the other film he's got coming out: the short "The Little Things." He makes a very dashing potential suicide, I'd say.

Mrs. F.

[Ioan Fan]

He filmed that short over a weekend in Vancouver while doing F4.

The film short was shown in Toronto at the "Worldwide Short Film Festival last night, Thurs. June 16th. Gary Hawes who produced and directed the film has posted at Ioanonline.com and gave us a link to a short behind the scenes video that was filmed.

If anyone is interested in seeing this, the link to the video can be found at

http://www.basetwomedia.com/portfolio/

Just click on "Video" then scroll to the second film selection "The Little Things" and choose either Windows Media Player or Quicktime to view it.

[Mrs. Fantastic]

gave us a link to a short behind the scenes video that was filmed.

Short, yes, but longer than the actual film it's about! :D Anyway, I hear the movie is quite good, so I look forward to somehow managing to see it sometime.

I LOVE the way Reed stretches in this movie, it's not rediculousily straight like "Sky High" or totally controlled perfectly like in the "Incredibles" but It's a little awkward more like a wobby rubber band!

I like the look of the stretching too. And I was worried about it, especially since they weren't showing it any of the trailers.

"Not sure if she got it from ioanonline's Gallery, but we have that one posted there. It's from the "Official Movie Magazine".

And of course, it was Lynn´s scan from Ioanonline (here in Spain the movie opnes later and there are not traces from the officcial magazine). Only the lateness of the hour and the mental shock I usually get when I try to read the Internet Movie Database FF forum prevented me from giving the credit where it was due. I wasnt inn my senses, literally. I tought the pic was ad hoc to make a comics to film comparison, this time with the theme "Reed´s neuroses about the Thing´s condition and what Sue has to stand, poor woman" and I even forgot to make it.

Hi all,

First time poster, but I've been having so much fun reading this thread (as well as the Mr. and Mrs. Fantastic thread :) ) that you pulled me out of lurkdom. I'm a fellow Ioan fan, ever since I stumbled onto the Hornblower series a few months ago. Ioan is incredible in that, and in everything else I've since watched him in. (And if anyone hasn't yet seen Hornblower, stop EVERYTHING and go find it. Today) He's gorgeous, a fantastic actor, a thoroughly gracious and decent bloke. And did I mention gorgeous? I can't figure out why he's not HUGE in the States yet. If this reviewer on imdb.com is right, he hopefully will be soon:
"Ioan Gruffudd is a brilliant actor – he surely is going to have a huge career in Hollywood after this. He managed to bring the same quiet authority and dignity to the character of Reed Richards while showing the audience just why he's the FF's leader, something all the FF comic book fans are familiar with."

So, get ready for lots more traffic here after July! Here's to our favorite Welshman!

Just go to any of the several free pic hosting sites that are out there and set up an account. I use http://photobucket.com/ or http://www.imageshack.us/


Once you're set up then all you do is use the "browse" feature and pull up any pics you want from your hardrive (files). It'll load it (them) to an album, then all you have to do is "copy" the url that they assign to the pic(s) and then come here and "paste" it in on the bar that is asking for the url. It'll then appear in your post!

It's amazing how great Ioan looks even with a big flap of skin peeling off his face.*

*Yes, I'm being sarcastic... not about the 'IOAN IS HOT!!!' bit though. ;D

[Mrs. Fantastic]

Not my favorite blazer, but hey, he's got to do what he can to get attention, since he never has much to say in these group interviews. :)

Mrs. F.

[Ioan Fan]

Thanks to Lynn and Pam over on ioanonline for capturing these great caps from the "TODAY" show interview.

Sweet!

I see that Ioan and Chris have the same taste in pants. :)

[Lady Stormcrow]

[Mrs. Fantastic]

No, it's all magical and shiny! :)

Ioan was adorable on Today this morning.

[Mrs. Fantastic]

Indeed.

And I should think Matt Lauer was rather relieved that none of the people he was interviewing this morning was Tom Cruise. :cool:

THUD!!!! Thanks Conchi!!!!

[Ioan Fan]

Thought I'd just show the first "TV Guide" cover that Ioan appeared on for "Horatio Hornblower" in 2001.

[RodeoHK]

Wow Ioan_Fan: would you recommend Horatio Hornblower as a good TV show? *proceeds to drool over pic*

[entwife]

Wow, Ioan Fan, would you recommend Horatio Hornblower as a good TV show? *proceeds to drool over pic*

I'm not Ioan-Fan, but I have to jump in here. The Horatio Hornblower series is fantastic! They've done three series total, from 1999 to 2003, for a combined eight 2-hour movies. Though made for TV, they're better than the vast majority of feature films out there. Watch one and you'll be hooked, both on the series and on Ioan. But they're hard to find at the local video store. I found them at local libraries and through Netflix, then loved them so much that I bought all the DVDs.

Get them now to while away the week before F4!

Wow, thanks! I haven't seen much of Ioan's stuff before, just King Arthur... I can't get enough of Ioan at the moment!!! :)

Once hooked on Ioan, you can never get enough of him....he's very addictive!! :) And yes, you'll love Horatio if you can find him anywhere!! He was my very first sample of Ioan and has a very special place in my heart! Highly recommended!!! :hyper:

[JulianM.Fan]

Ahh i'm just very i don't know. So i had two dreams about Ioan this week. One was that we were at a hotel with my school or whatnot and we were all just hanging around doing some mischeif and Ioan was my boyfriend:)

And then last night we were swimming at a pool...i think J.Alba was there,lol but other people were there too. Hehe i think Ioan's becoming my no.2 man right behind Julian.

[Mrs. Fantastic]

I would like to add my voice to the chorus of approval for Hornblower. If you haven't seen it, by all means DO! They are wonderfully done -- exciting, fun, and extremely well acted. Ioan is splendid in them.

[Iron Maiden]

Hehe i think Ioan's becoming my no.2 man right behind Julian.

Which is as it should be.. http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I have to repeat the one-liner I saw at the IMDB about Julian (concealed for the more sensitive) " he could get laid at a lesbian wedding

[JulianM.Fan]

Lol Iron Maiden i love that. I bet it's true;) Yes i think i may get myself more into Ioan's work and i finally know how to pronounce his name. But he's not single and Julian is so...

[Ioan Fan]

Here's all of the projects he's been in (list courtesy of ioaonline filmography page).

Some are not accessible to get a hold of due to the fact that they are either UK or Welsh TV productions (all of us true Ioanites have every one anyway.....we have our means :rolleyes: ).

They are only available on VCD (region free) or in different DVD regions or PAL VHS formats. This means they are viewable only if you have a region free DVD player or PAL VHS player.

There are a good amount, though, that you can rent or buy on VHS or DVD. Amazon.com and Ebay have listings for sale/bid.

But he's not single

He sure is.

[Ioan Fan]

But he's not single

He sure is.

Mrs. F.

Let me rephrase that.....he's taken....four years and still going strong (damn).

[Ioangirl]

Technically yes he has a girlfriend, but he's not married to her. If they break up there would be no divorce case to mess with. They can pretty much leave each other when its over. So in my book he is single.

[Mrs. Fantastic]

Let me rephrase that.....he's taken....four years and still going strong (damn).

Not so strong that he's actually bothered to marry The Girlfriend after 4 years. This = single! Go for it JulianM.Fan! Wait, what am I saying? Out of my way, JulianM.Fan! ;)

Mrs. F.

[Ioangirl]

I totally agree with you Mrs. F. After four years, what is he waiting for? Ioan said time and again he wants a wife and lots of children. What does he want? Tom Cruise's salary? It would take years for him to get that far and Alice is not getting any younger while I can wait for ten years since I happen to be nine years younger than her.
