The story about how John Barrowman caught the thief, as was told in his own words at the convention

Hi! Back home from London where I got cuddles, autographs and get to sit at the same table like John Barrowman, here is the first story from the con, as people have asked. Try to imagine his very own way of not just telling stories but acting them all out ( Read more... )

Wow. Fun AND exciting tales besides!

As for that boy...sigh. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Using someone underage this way has been done for hundreds of years at least.

Yeah. I hope it was a lesson for him and he will indeed change.

We had read the story in the internet before John came on stage, so of course wanted to know his very own version (as you never can be sure about what the Daily Mail writes)

This and wondering whether John had to sleep in the doghouse after he made Scott sing on stage in Cardiff were two burning questions of mine - and they both got answered. More on the second one another day!

Wow, great story, thanks!
I can see John Barrowman Sr. walking out of their hotel room scratching the back of his pajama bottoms (hope I'm right assuming it was the back)
I'd love to read some follow-up on the boy. His apprentice friends just dumped him there. Maybe this whole episode will take him to some real friends. I have a friend who was in a criminal gang, got his back badly hurt, was bed-bound for 8 months but it ultimately let him turn his life around. He's a happy husband and dad of 2 now :-)

When I saw Angelo's age in the show, I was a little doubtful, because Daniele looked 28-30 to me there. But I attributed it to the Mediterranean climate :-)

Heh - it actually was the front of his pajama pants, if you get my meaning ;) John is really great at telling stories. Wait till I start with my concert post, I found lots of videos on youtube ( ... )

You know, that thought (about scratching) did cross my mind but I dared not go there :-)
Daniele is very good looking. I saw a clip from The Rose Tatoo starring him, he's a great comedian, too. http://youtu.be/0lAK0P8W9WM
The story about the Romanian family was very touching. I hope they have somewhere to stay now. Sometimes I give away stuff, too, but never shoes off my feet.

And can you imagine John doing this on stage while his mother was sitting in the room? Even twice, as a few minutes later he said "Dad stopped scratching his..." and did it again LOL

Naughty John ;)

I think I might develop a bit of a crush for Daniele myself - especially after seeing him for real at the weekend. I want to follow his career and hope he will get to do lots of nice things. He told us he will do a Western next! And that an Oscar is his goal in the future ;)

He also talked a bit about Shakespeare, he seems to love the theatre.

Did you know we have a little Daniele LJ community? It is not very alive at the moment, but I plan to post a bit there about the con: http://angelistas.livejournal.com/

Oh wow, that's a great story. :D I can imagine that playing Captain Jack for so long would definitely have an effect on you! ;)

And wow, Daniele is 38? I wouldn't go do far as to say he necessarily looks 23, but... Definitely younger than 38~ *_*

I'm so glad you had such a great time. =D

dieastra November 29 2011, 22:53:54 UTC

I haven't really anything to answer, just wanted to show off my new icon ;)
Yeah, the Captain Jack gene is definitely there!

Did you know we do have a Daniele community?

Ha. Great story! I guess he needs to be careful when he wears his Captain America t-shirt. It's a bit dangerous. ;)

dieastra November 29 2011, 21:13:01 UTC

You might be right with that ;)
But even if he doesn't wear it anymore, he has lots more Superhero shirts I'm afraid...

saavick November 29 2011, 09:58:44 UTC

Oh, hi!
Waited for your letter but then stopped and think a little bit and came here. Thanks for the story. I read it yesterday, but you are right - it's always interesting to know HIS version. He is so cool! I'd love to see him both in Captain America T-shirt and Captain Harkness mode. I bet those woman kids won't believe the story mother told them )))
What two hot questions did you ask?
About Daniele. I was wondering about his age right away after he showed up in Torchwood and yes, he looks better then 38. But when you see his younger pics you should admit that story would be hotter if he was actually 23 ;)
Thanks for the nice gallery!

dieastra November 29 2011, 22:57:49 UTC

Look at my new icon ;)

Yeah, I also read the story in the internet at the day before John came and wondered how much of it was true. I did not ask the question myself, but apparently others wanted to know also.

My other question would have been whether Scott was mad that he was dragged to the state for singing, but again someone else asked this so I did not have to.

Daniele talking English with Italian accent was so sexy! And he was really funny too, plus he was passionate about theatre and Shakespeare. He is a nice guy.
