Hey Pat, you ever been to Germany during the summer?

I hear a certain Mr. W is bigger than Hasselhoff there...

Hey Pat, you ever been to Germany during the summer?

No, but I wouldn't mind visiting someday. My father was stationed there as an MP there during the Korean War. I think Squatlow does a lot of business in Germany. I'd be interested to hear what his take is on the show's popularity there since he spends a lot of time on both continents.

I hear a certain Mr. W is bigger than Hasselhoff there...

Hee! I don't know if that's good or bad. I never understood the popularity of Hasselhoff, but then I never watched Babewatch either; I only know him from Knight Rider, and that was eons ago. He's in his 50's now, if I'm not mistaken (not that that's "old" or anything. )

There was a story I once read about Welling in Italy. Not sure how accurate it is - maybe James can fill in the blanks or debunk the story if it is heretical, but it happened a few years ago. Was probably around SV's 2nd or 3rd seasons. It might have even been the start of Tom's realization that the world is indeed a "small" place. 'Cause if you're the star of a popular television show, people are gonna recognize you no matter where you go, even if it's in the middle of St. Peter's Sq. in Italy. My understanding is, he "attracted" the attention of quite a few fans there. LOL

Oh...any details Pat? James? I'd love to hear about this.

Oh...any details Pat? James? I'd love to hear about this.

All I remember was that his presence caused a confluence of a small "mob" of fans LOL. I've been to St. Peters Basilica. Unless the Pope is there, it's a relatively quiet, introspective place. Women are expected to wear skirts or dresses (no pants), and the last thing anybody wants to do is draw attention to themselves by being at the center of a rowdy crowd. If what I read actually happened, I'm sure he was mortified.

Having brought up the topic, I'm really curious to find out now if it's a true story. James, you out there hon? Have you heard this one? It's rather old.

 

[jas01724]

I've heard it, and I don't think there's any real truth to it. At most it's probably exaggerated in that one or two people recognised him and it became a "mob" in the retelling.

Gosh I love Tom Welling.

From Kristen at EOnline!

From sammysangel: Your column two weeks ago had the interview with Jared and Jensen, and you said to ask about how close they were, so I'm asking! Also, any other scoop on Supernatural?
Oh! Thanks. No, it was a funny story about how close the Supernatural and Smallville boys are. Tom Welling told a funny story: "Supernatural and Smallville actually shoot a block away from each other, and I'm really good friends with Jensen and Jared. Last season, at one point, I actually got off a little bit earlier than they did, and I went down to their set. They weren't there yet, and I knew some of the people on set, because they had worked on Smallville, so I jumped in the backseat of their car, and if you've seen the show, you know they're always driving their car and they're pullin' in to places and getting out of their car. So, I get in the backseat, and they were in a big hurry because they were late getting to set--very unprofessional--and they jumped in the car very quickly 'cause the crew was yelling 'We're already rolling, go, go, go.' And just as they jumped in, I reached over, and I grabbed Jensen, and I pulled him into the backseat, and he didn't know what was going on. He thought it was his stunt double, so he started hittin' me, so I started hittin' him back. And then when he realized who was who, they said 'Action,' so he jumps in the front seat, we tear down this alley, he pulls into this bar and all three of us jumped out, and we all walked into this bar, and as we walked in, the door closed and we heard 'Um...cut?' They didn't know what was goin' on. So, I made an appearance on Supernatural. I believe I was edited out." Too bad, right? I'd pay to see that triple hot-boy rumble!

[AgentPat]

Kal, *try* to see this Clark as representing just another time in Supes' life, just like Dean Cain's version was the "latest" version. What do I mean by that? Well, Cain's Superman was actually MARRIED to Lois Lane. What other live action Superman has made it that far? See my point? I know I'm stating the obvious, but Welling's "Superman" is just young Clark Kent before he's known to the world as Superman. He's still portraying the same character though. He's not Superboy; Superboy wore a costume. When Welling's Clark finally dons the suit, he'll be called Superman, not Superboy.
