Major coincidence- destiny?

Some time this past summer, Sabine came across the TV series "Moonlight" and inmediately became addicted to the (actually quite good) vampire thriller and romance story.  She watched all episodes on the web, downloaded them, watched them again and again.  The only break during the summer was our sailing trip, since my laptop battery could not cope with such a watching freenzy.  :-)
You cannot imagine how dissapointed she was when CBS unexpectedly decided to cancel the series...there is a large fan base out there pushing to reconsider the decision, so there is some hope, but with Twilight gaining traction, the CBS folks might think that there are too many vampire stories out there...not sure. 

Anyhow, two days ago we were having breakfast at the great Urth Cafe in West Hollywood when suddenly the lead actor of Moonlight, Alex O'Loughlin (aka Mick St John) walked in... Despite his new hairstyle ("I cut my hair" he said to us  :-), Sabine recognized him instantly.  She couldn't believe it and went almost nuts.  I have only seen her so nervous when she first met my parents.  It was very sweet.

After some discussions, I tricked her and approached Alex.  He was extremely nice, we had a short conversation and took a pic with his main German fan :-)

Small world indeed and what a major coincidence...from all stars in LA, we bumped into the number #1 in Sabine's list.  Very cool.  Sabine can still not believe it.  (me neither)

OMG - to be you!!!! What a lucky turn of events for you!!! And, might I add that Alex's hair is VERY short (sigh - ok he is really not Mick, I get it). Congrats to you (and you have a great BF!)

Sabine looks so adorable and so excited! Good for her!

Just wanted to check, is it okay if Alex's image from this photo is used in a banner sig online?

Either way, thanks for posting it!

Long hair or short, how lucky for Sabina to meet the best looking guy in Hollywood, not to mention the world. Thank you for sharing the pictures.

Alex looks gorgeous, as alway. He looks fantastic no matter what he does to himself - long hair, short hair, any color. Lucky Sabine! I would still be smiling over that sweet encounter.

Wow, Glückwunsch an Sabine. Das läuft wohl unter Once-in-a-lifetime, denke ich. Danke für´s Weitererzählen!
Aber auch Respekt zu der Ruhe, mit der du das trägst. Ich kenne da Partner, die mit der Alex-o-mania der Frau nicht so ruhig umgehen... ;o)
