This has the air of that movie in the 1950's -- To Catch A Thief, with Cary Grant & Grace Kelly. It is the Cote d'Azur (French Riviera)setting, especially Monte Carlo and the Monte Carlo casino). I wonder if Baz Lurhmann has this tale as a potential next project... with Blake & Hugh as his co-stars  Hugh Jackman fits the part - he is elegant in formal clothes & has a mysterious air around him. I wonder when they filmed it - maybe while Hugh returned to England for the reshoots of Deadpool & Wolverine in May or the start of filming of Three Bags Full. All they had to do was to fly to Nice from London. Monte Carlo has no airport Jo It says Location : Pier 59 Studios which is across the street from the Nouvel building. Implies it’s all backdrops ? |

Haha - but Hugh did look a little like James Bond. They even had the hilly backdrop to the beach? Plus they recreated the inside of the Monte Carlo casino? Technology!! PS: Looks like Baz has returned to NYC. I thought he has sold his place and relocated back to Australia. Jo |

Hugh is a great favorite with Anna Wintour:
*HJ was the first cover story of the defunct Men's Vogue
*All his Bway shows have had some feature, including an expanded Boy From Oz coverage
*She has hosted a NYC premiere of a HJ film
*She organized a meeting of Hugh and the journalism staff of Conde Nast ( Mother company of Vogue) re THE SON.
*HJ is always an attendee of the Met Gala (main involvement of Anna Wintour, who is considered the most important figure in the fashion world). Once performed at one of the Balls.
*Seen watching tennis together at Wimbledon & US Open. Special guest for Anna Wintour's Fashion Week-NYC.
*Most importantly, Hugh is an elegant masculine figure that fits well with "haute" style of Vogue.

Some were alleging that the Vogue feature did not even see Hugh & Blake together during the photo session, alleging everything was photoshopped. This is proof that they were filmed together --  |

Too bad Blake doesn’t have a single sister she could fix Hugh up with! (she has a half sister, born in 1972, but she’s married!) She has another half sister who started her acting career in 1979 (probably as a child) but it doesn’t say how old she is or if she’s married.
P.S. Ryan only has 3 brothers!

http://instagram.com/p/C-XppWWRqhK Check out the Comments - some interesting people and some interesting observations ( Next James Bond? What will Ryan think? etc). That photo looks like Sean Connery would have had real and true competition for the role! I wonder if the two roles - Wolverine & James Bond had been offered to Hugh Jackman at the same time -- which one would he have chosen? Remarkable how Hugh Jackman can bring out the ferocity in the Wolverine role... and at the same time, he has such a cosmopolitan vibe ( see the Montblanc ad ) that he can be James Bond, hands down!

Just as I thought - that was good friend Andrew Bimson with him.  Are they going to the main stadium (Ashe)... Swiatek and later on Medvedev? or the 2nd one -- to watch Aussie A DeMinaur? I am set for the DeMinaur match Jo |
