New Candids: Alex O’Loughlin at the 7 Eleven

May 2, 2012 By 8 Comments

It’s too soon to call it an annual tradition, but hopefully it will become one: that every spring, during the hiatus, we are treated to paparazzi photos of — oh, horrors — a shirtless Alex O’Loughlin!  :mrgreen:

Last year, he opted for a buzz cut. This year, His Hotness’ hiatus hairdo is a fun mohawk. As it can actually be quite high maintenance, it will be interesting to see how long it lasts…

He’s looking healthy and is obviously enjoying his well-deserved break, so what more could we ask for? We’re just grateful for the tropical Hawaiian climate…  :whistle:

The photos were taken yesterday when Alex dropped by a local 7 Eleven and were originally posted by Just Jared; the set has also been added to the gallery.

Welcome Back, Alex!

April 13, 2012 By 13 Comments

Super SEAL Steve occupies a big space in our hearts and it’s wonderful to see him back in action. Even better, however, is seeing proof of a healthy and happy Alex O’Loughlin simply enjoying life!

Andrew Lee, University Of Hawaii Athletics Booster Club photographer, snapped this photo on April 12 of his friend Annabel with Alex. He expressed his surprise on Twitter that the picture has gone viral and in response to being asked about the location of the encounter, he is very respectful of Alex’s privacy. “I won’t say exactly where though because of how often AOL is there”.

Mahalo, Andrew and welcome back, Alex!

:thankyou:

Alex O’Loughlin’s First Tough Mudder Event: No Arm Twisting Involved, Says Simon Mirren

February 16, 2012 By 3 Comments

Fans have been wondering what Alex O’Loughlin’s first Tough Mudder event will be and according to Stray Dogs teammate @SimonMirren, it’s the NorCal 2012 and that’s at Lake Tahoe, 22-23 September!

Before you make any related travel plans, please be aware that Alex’s participation in any such event is always conditional and therefore subject to change. He has had to cancel public activities before due to scheduling conflicts and everyone is aware that September is a busy month for Hawaii Five-0.

But, like Simon says, *fingers crossed*!


Thanks to @TalkinToU for the headsup!

Alex O’Loughlin: One Tough Mudder!

February 12, 2012 By 4 Comments

Always up for a challenge, Alex O’Loughlin has joined the Stray Dogs Tough Mudder team!

Tough Mudder is a group of creative entrepreneurs and one of their ventures is to host 10-12 mile endurance events on obstacle courses inspired by the British Special Forces. Tough Mudder events are held across the USA and Canada, in Europe, Japan, South Africa as well as Australia and New Zealand.

Participation occurs in teams and a typical Tough Mudder challenge is all about stamina and teamwork, but it also involves fun, beer, and mud… lots and lots of it!

And what would certainly appeal to Alex’s adopted warrior mentality is that no man gets left behind.

The prize for completing a course? An official orange sweatband and a free beer!

Before each event, participants recite the following pledge:

As a Tough Mudder I pledge that…

  • I understand that Tough Mudder is not a race but a challenge.
  • I put teamwork and camaraderie before my course time.
  • I do not whine — kids whine.
  • I help my fellow Mudders complete the course.
  • I overcome all fears.

The Stray Dogs team that Alex is now a proud member of also boasts the names Simon Mirren and Shemar Moore. Alex gave a stellar performance as a serial killer when he guest starred in an episode of Criminal Minds in April 2009, and prior to that, he worked on some development projects with Mirren, who at the time was Minds’ co-executive producer.

Other Stray Dogs team members are: Kevin McKidd, Royce Gracie, Joe Jetsyn, John Jetsyn, Thomas Arklie, Scott Seidel, Hohn Barton, Rick Dunkle, Gary Love, James, Clayton Kruger, David Elliot, Peter Wingfield, Alex Hackford, Paul Hughes, Richard and Jace Sparks.

Tough Mudder supports the Wounded Warrior Project and has raised over $2.6 million for this cause so far. These funds go towards various programs for returning service men and women, including combat stress recovery, adaptive sports, counseling, education and employment services.
