Wee Welsh Actor Ioan Gruffudd Morphs Into a Mighty Man in Tights in This Summer's Fantastic Four
By John Mihaly" [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-2]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."[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-2]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!'" [/font]
There's also one on the ICWales website:

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!"
