We are kind of surprised that anybody would think that yesterday’s post was real at all, and that it was a real journalist and Alex having a conversation in a market in Hawaii.
It was in fact just some fun created by one of our fellow fans. We all know that Alex is a funny guy, but he is not ‘that’ kind of funny.
And of course, the picture in that post, of Alex showing of his organic leek, is also not real. Just us creating a picture to fit the story.
But today we are posting a real new old picture, posted yesterday on Instagram. It was probably taken somewhere in mid-2019, because Trident only started operating in December 2018.
We had so many great times and adventures when we lived in Hawaii and when we go back (home) as we like to think of it but one of my favorites was a few Summers ago when a friend took us to jump out of a helicopter at 50 feet up and then we went scuba diving. I can’t wait to do this again. With #alexoloughlin and #rafigavron and the guys at @tridentadventureshawaii who are amazing. If you get a chance when covid is over check them out!!! #hawaii50#hawaii#explore#navyseals#surf#oahu#helicopterjump#travel#nature#ocean#getoutside#waves🌊#dive#home#letsgo#highjump#gratitude#scubadiving#sharks#turtles#underwaterworld#astarisborn#alexoloughlin#kaneohe#intheair#upintheair#fromabove#throwback
Some more information about Trident:
Trident Adventures also branched out to start a new company, where you can learn tactical training.
We’ve had so many requests from you guys about offering more tactical training… so we are making it happen! We’ve started a new company @tridenttacticalgroup and can’t wait to start telling you more about it. Weapons training, hand to hand, Krav Maga, and more. Make sure to follow our new page for updates coming soon!
We do know that Alex, together with fellow actor BeulahKoale, are also partners in Trident Adventures, but we are not sure if they also form part of the new company. I guess time will tell
As always, Alex is doing his best to be invisible, but I was able to corner him while he was buying some leeks and turnips at the Farmer’s Choicest Vegetables Shop in Pupukea.
But, by now, you all know me, Chicky Merrygoat as the tenacious journalist that I am. Once I am focused on my prey, I do not let go.
Lucky for me, Alex realized that if he wanted to get home on time to start cooking his Outer Mongolian stew, his best option was to accept to be interviewed there and then.
I guess he hoped that it would be a quick affair and that he would have time to purchase nutmeg, which he had forgotten but was vital for his stew.
Chicky Merrygoat: Hi Alex!
AOL: Hi Chicky!
CM: Long time no see! Where have you been hiding after your trip to Seattle? I tried to peek inside your garden, perched on the shoulders of my photographer to look over your fence, but could see nothing. Only greenery.
AOL: Ah yes… well… Our gardener is not coming because of the bug, and I let the garden grow into a jungle. It saves me a lot of work and it’s useful as an inviolable obstacle. Totally antipaparazzi, you see. I intensely dislike people taking and posting pictures of me without asking.
It’s really beautiful! I now have lots of palm trees, lianas, and giant ornamental weeds.
In a matter of weeks, I’ll be able to move Tarzan-like through my junglized garden with the Lianas. I also have colorful parrots and frenzied baboons and marmosets, and I’m toying with the idea of getting a crazy panther or two as additional protection.
You know… paparazzi can be so invasive… They have panthers available on Amazon, but only pink ones, and I like my panthers black, Bagheera-like.
I’m also thinking of training the parrots to screech ‘Buzz off or I’ll shoot you’ or possibly ‘Freeze or you’re a dead man!”. You can never be too careful. Oh, and I saw an interesting exotic pack on AliExpress, you know, one that contains 12 enraged mygales + 6 demented cobras. And it’s on special offer! So, I have a good mind to… well, I’ll see.
CM: So you really want to keep your privacy, don’t you? Well, thanks for the warning. I won’t gatecrash. And tell me, what did you do this morning before going to the market?
AOL: Well… Let me see… Oh yes, I had a shower.
CM: A shower! Well, that’s great news! So you have showers rather than baths?
AOL: An invigorating shower in the morning, with my face, turned upwards to let the water gently moisten my beautiful hazel-blue eyes, but a bath before bed. Hot water helps me a lot when my muscles hurt.
Only yesterday, my right leg was twisted around my neck and I couldn’t unroll it. Soaking in extremely hot water was the only way to get my legs parallel again.
CM: But why did you twist your leg around your neck in the first place?
AOL: Oh, it’s a common BJJ movement, you know. I do it all the time with no consequences. Except that yesterday I had my head elsewhere and I overdid it. BJJ can be strenuous, you know, and I practice a lot. Egan has planned a special training program for me next week, and it involves crossing both my feet on my nape while I whistle either ‘Strangers in the Night’ or Albinoni’s ‘Adagio in G Minor’.
My choice, Egan said. He cares for my musical peace of mind, you see, though I’d have chosen ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ myself, which I could have whistled as ‘Achy Breaky Legs’. In any case, he has explained to me it was an excellent exercise to simultaneously master breath control and strengthen abductors, so that’s it.
I don’t know how many gallons of scalding water I’ll need before I can sit again like a mammal, I mean with my feet on the ground, but if I want my black belt, well… whatever it takes.
CM: What kind of soap do you use. Any special brand? I am sure the fans would die to know.
AOL: Yes, of course! I use GI Body Wash. It’s part of the line of cosmetic products I am launching with my buddies at Trident. With the lockdown, Trident is not operating, and I couldn’t shoot that succulent, Oscar-winning role I was offered after Hawaii 5.0 came to an end, and we thought we had to do something to keep us busy.
CM: A line of cosmetic products! Now this is really exciting! When will they be commercialized?
AOL: They will be available online as soon as Beulah finishes creating our website. The problem is that we disagree about our corporate color. He favors a plain black, like the All Black, with the haka as a music background, but I much prefer an Indian ink black. I know, I know, you’ll say it’s the same, that black is black, but there you are wrong. There are many shades of black, as there are many shades of grey. And I’m adamant that my black must prevail, not his.
Firstly because I used to be a Lt. Commander and he a mere Corporal, and I strongly believe in hierarchy. Secondly, because I’m a stubborn Aussie and arguing with a stubborn Aussie is a waste of time, especially if it’s about the color black, and thirdly because he is unable to cook a decent Outer Mongolian stew, which disqualifies him as a color decision maker.
Beulah can have his haka music, but it will be my black or it will not be.
CM: And tell me, how many products do you have so far?
AOL: Well, besides the GI Body Wash, so far we have a man’s fragrance, Eau de SEAL for Him, whose scent is really virile, reminiscent of the smell of an unwashed tiger, the After-Mission Moisturizing Cream, and the Warrior’s Rest Night Balm. We are also developing our Private’s Sore Feet Lotion, and our Ultimate AOL Six-Pack Cream.
We have done extensive market research and this product will be a winner, I can tell you. It seems that that time I emerged from the Pacific wearing blue swim trunks made an unforgettable impact on ladies.
Many men have emerged from the ocean wearing blue swim trunks before and since then, but somehow, they have gone unnoticed.
We would like to sell the promise of that perfect SEAL-like image.
CM: Oh yes, I well remember that god-like appearance and…
Alex… Alex? What? What are you mumbling? Nutmeg?
Okay, I take the hint.
Thank you for your time and good luck with your new venture!
Hope we can do a follow-up soon …
AOL: Aloha, Chicky!
Thanks to all the Alex-lovers, from all over the world, who are still looking in on us from time to time.
And a special thanks to those who also pass the time by participating behind the scenes and creating some anonymous fun …… like this.
Recently we have been seeing new unreleased photos posted by Jill on instagram. Taken from H50 season 2 photoshoot. Since not all our readers follow that social media site, we got permission to post the photos on our blog too. Unfortunately wordpress doesn´t allow to view the full uploaded size directly anymore, but opening our pic urls you can view for the gorgeous sized Alex and count his lashes if you want to (click on the link at bottom of pic for the url) 😀
It looks like we got more information about where Alex flew off to, 2 weeks ago. From some of the indications back then, it looked like he was on his way to Seattle and that seems to be true.
At the time there was also information that indicated that he was traveling with others, and from the latest picture, it looks like Beulah was one of those traveling with him.
Beulah’s videos to his wife on IG Stories earlier, indicated that he was horseback riding somewhere. And also that somebody familiar to his kids, which he called uncle Jim, was with them.
One can therefore make the assumption that Alex and Beulah went for a nature adventure for 2 weeks. And my guess is that some of their other friends or business partners were with them.
Dropped my sister off at the airport today after a fun few weeks up here in Washington! And look who she runs into.. @hawaiifive0cbs actors @beulahkoale and Alex O’Loughlin. Have a safe trip home Gem! We love you and we’re glad you got to come up and visit for a bit! #alexoloughlin#hawaii50
Alex and Beulah look relaxed and we hope they had a good time together. Maybe using the open air to do some brainstorming about new career options for the future ….. We as fans can only hope.
Alex is mentioned in an article on 21 September 2020 in the Australian publication The Daily Telegraph.
It is a report written by Holly Byrnes of an interview with Tate Donovan.
Tate Directed Episode 10:18 of Hawaii Five-0 and this is what he had to say in the article about Alex:
“That dude … I was really impressed with him. He’s done that show for 10 years, but let me tell you something, every single scene, every single line, he is completely committed.
I guarantee you, he’s going to break out and do some great things.”
Alex as Steve in Episode 10:18 (Directed by Tate Donovan)
Let’s hope this statement, like many made by other people in the past, is prophetic and that the best for Alex’s career is still to come!!
