Ioan Gruffud: Mr. Fantastic Threads Merged

[Lady Stormcrow]

So, does anyone but me get a Microsoft e.net signin screen when loading this thread? It's very strange, and it's only this thread that triggers it. It's annoying, but it will not deter me from participating in this critical discussion.

Of course your not the only one Mrs F, theres a reason Ioan looks so annoyed here:

Here's 2 pics to distract you from it, Mrs F

*perfection*

These is my favorite pictures, When he just looks like a normal guy (with his shirt off), but he's still takes my breath away.

 

[Ioee]

Mmm this thread continues to grow and get bumped with great pics of the handsome and talented boyo!

And I also want to say thank you to all those who have not hotlinked from ioanonline or other picture hosts.

 

[surfergirl]

[Ioee]

I see that Microsoft sign up thing too. Must have to do with a picture or website that is linked in this thread.

Either that or it's some incredibly specific niche marketing ploy.

What I like about this pic, apart from the devastating combination of brown curls and dimples, is the fact that it looks very "natural ".

As a Californian, I call "tourist"! The new denim jacket -- at the beach! No darling, no! No jackets, ever! We got 4' of wintery rain this year, and I can count the times on one hand that I saw anyone with any sort of overgear, let alone --gasp! -- an umbrella. The neckline on the shirt screams "European!" He looks sufficiently confused that he'd probably attempt to eat a taco with a knife and fork.

What this picture says to me is: "Help me, I'm a European tourist! Where is this "In 'n' Out Burger" you speak of?"

Thank goodness that I am available to serve as his native guide!

Bless his little cotton socks!! A tourist he may look Mrs F, but you cannot deny that he looks absolutely scrumptious in that shot!! Thank you Conchi!

Hey!!!! I'm getting that Microsoft passport sign-in thingy as well!!!

 

[Ioan Fan]

What this picture says to me is: "Help me, I'm a European tourist! Where is this "In 'n' Out Burger" you speak of?"

He already found it .......

 

[Mrs. Fantastic]

Well, thank the Maker he's not eating his Double Double Animal Style with a knife and fork! There's hope for him yet! Look how he wears the paper hat! He's about 90% Californian! We'll make him an honorary Californian if he gets through and earthquake and doesn't run away.

Bruce Springsteen fled the state within hours of the Northridge quake. No Honorary Californian beanie for him!

These pics are from an interview that was conducted by a friend of Ioan's and his best friend (who also appears). The interviewer friend has a tv interview show over in Wales. He came over and interviewed them while both of them were in California visiting and trying to get work. They took their friend all over Beverly Hills, and showed him the "California" thing. They ended the interview by going through the drive through of "In 'n Out".

If you want to see a sort of crazy cut-up side to Ioan you can actually see the entire interview on a video clip file here......

http://www.ioanonline.com/videoclips.html#interviews

Just go to "Interviews" and click on the links under the third pic showing Ioan in the pool. Part 2 contains just Ioan's part of the interview. It's 37 MB so it takes a bit to load.

It is all in Welsh but it really doesn't matter, as just watching the visual you can get the point. The "In 'n Out" burger bit comes at the very end at 6:31 into the clip.

I used to have this on a tape, believe it or not. And then I loaned it out and never saw it again! Thanks for restoring this priceless bit of Ioan-iana to my collection.

It couldn't possibly be more entertaining in English than it is in Welsh.

Ah, Welsh. I can do an excellent approximation of it what with this phlegmmy cold that I have right now. Want to hear? Didn't think so!

"What this picture says to me is: "Help me, I'm a European tourist! Where is this "In 'n' Out Burger" you speak of?"

YES!!!-As a fellow European from the untouristic Northen part of Spain becasue it´s Atlantic zone and no flamenco and olé,I recognize and claim the fashion, but as a member of a country which lives from North Europen tourism I have the Spanish word for the type of tourist you´re referring to-"guiri". I´m even can imagine that wonderful nose of his starting to peel.No question. I ADORE, ADORE the pic.



"Thank goodness that I am available to serve as his native guide! "

And it´s my frigging luck that the only time he went to Spain to do his Hornblowerings,he went and filmed in Menorca.

"Hi, Conchi.Do you like my fabulous Mediterranean tan? What,Principality of Asturias? The producers say the countryside doesnt loook very Caribbean, maybe the next time.Bye."


So, there goes my homage to one of my favourite FF artists.John Buscema.

Awwww...poor nose. Let me comfort you.

>>No question. I ADORE, ADORE the pic.<<

As do I. I also like the one with the cell phone and the cutlass. Very dashing!

Actually, I love tourists. I live right near Disneyland, so I see a lot of them. I think it's cool that people take the time and trouble to go see new places and try new things. Some people are all snobby and mock tourists, but the way I figure it, a tourist is always cooler than someone sitting around on their behind doing the same old thing. Even if it's a tourist wearing a funny hat and unflattering Bermuda shorts.

Anyway, the offer to be Ioan's native guide stands!

I know it´s a group pic, but Ioan´s lips deserve a repetition. And now for laughs, Mister F drowning in a Spanish text.
