#Alex O’Loughlin – Who loves him and why? UPDATE

I just try to carry the sense of integrity and authenticity I had in the beginning of my career, because I think that’s what makes people interested in you in the first place. It’s important not to lose that.

This is an update on the previous post Alex O’Loughlin – Who loves him and why? about where the love for Alex are in the world. Just for the sake of interest (and because I am weird and like statistics and numbers), I did a comparison in regards to the populations of the countries that follow our blog and the number of views we got over the last 7 months and listed them according to rank.

Here is the outcome:

I just want to say that Switzerland are so far ahead on the count that they can’t easily be beaten. I think this gives a clearer picture of how big the following for Alex (or more accurately for our blog) are in the different countries. I was quite surprised by how the figures worked out.

• So although the USA show more than a third of the views, because of their large population they only landed in 8th position
• Australia did a lot better than I thought they would and they are in second place at the moment
• There are a few countries that made this top list because they have such a small population and that increased their position quite a lot – Slovakia, Finland and Czech Republic.
• Our followers from Croatia and New Zealand made the list, because of the small population and they are actually doing quite well I think!
• This comparison also show how big the support in Portugal really is.

I think it’s ignorant if you’re going to pursue a career in acting to allow yourself to get any sort of celebrity status and then be angry about it. I completely accept the loss of anonymity as part of success in this career I’ve chosen. But it doesn’t change the fact that I can get agoraphobic in crowds and that I spin out sometimes when I get too much attention, or that I get anxious, or that I’m sensitive.
