What a fun assignment to cover the Hawaii Five-O Blessing. Wanted to share some funny moments you didn't see. At the end of my impromptu interview with Alex, I didn't go for a handshake, hug or kiss on cheek. Looking back I think it's because I had my iphone & microphone in my hands, but I think he was expecting it so there was a brief moment reminiscent of the end of a first date. Ha ha, that's the best way I can describe it & since it's my blog...
My favorite Alex moment was actually when the rain suddenly started pouring. I caught a great candid of him embracing the rain, before his handlers rushed to cover him with an umbrella. He was loving it, like a baptism or rebirth.
Didn't get the chance to chat with actress Christine Lahti, McGarrett's mom, but we shared a moment during the rainy blessing. I said "Christine Lahti is sure getting a Hawaiian blessing and welcome with this rain" & she looked over & smiled. I understand she had to have her hair touched up before shooting her first scene with Alex because it got really curly in the rain. I sure could have used a touch up... A false eyelash came off in a gust. Live TV for you! Thanks to Kahu Kia for telling me.
Fans shouldn't read into fact that Scott Caan & Grace Park weren't at blessing. Scott is in a play in Los Angeles & Grace just flew back into town this morning. She made it a point to swing by set to wish the cast a successful start to Season 3. Didn't talk with her, but I unknowingly crossed paths with Grace. Before a live report, I needed to fix my wind blown hair, so I looked at my reflection in the passenger window of a parked car. A few minutes later, it pulls out & drives away. Lo and behold, Grace was in driver's seat, smiled & waved. She must have thought I was peering in to get a look! Good times.
