My Gerry Story *heart*
Hi flist,
Gerry is simply ...gorgeous!!! OMG...what wonderful eyes!!!!!
I went to Rio with my friend Dany, she is from Recife and she is a Gerry's fan too. Our flight should have taken off at 6:40am, but it didn't take off till 10:00am!! We arrived in Rio and took a bus to our hotel in Copacabana. The weather was extremely hot!
On our way to the hotel we passed in the front of the Copacabana Palace where Gerry was staying and saw the "300" advertising trucks parked there. I trembled and my heart beat fast when I saw the hotel. I was in tears and we shouted:
"He's there!! He's there!!"
We arrived at the hotel, took a bath and walked a short way to the Copacabana Palace Hotel.
We asked the receptionist for Gerry and he said that only the producers stayed there and they were surrounded by security guards. Gerry and all the cast were in another hotel. (???)
Of course we didn't believe that, but we accepted his reply. There wasn't anything we could do about it anyway.
We called Ana, a Tart who lives in Rio, and she said that she, Maria (another Tart from São Paulo) and other fans were already in front of the Theater.
We took the subway and went there. Dany bought some paper and pens to make some banners.
We met Maria and Ana and it was a very happy moment for us because we had never seen each other in person. Some people who were passing down the street looked at all that scenario (pictures, red carpet, lights, workmen etc…) and asked what was happening. Náiade and Tricia (From Brasilia and São Paulo) arrived soon after that, and we all got happy and excited together!!
Later on it got very crowded there. Part of our group was at the very beginning of the red carpet and others were next to the theater entrance.The guests were arriving, lots of brazilian actors and actresses were crossing the Red Carpet.
It was around 8:30 PM (+ or -) and nothing happened...
A reporter interviewed us and became very surprised when we told her we were Gerry's fans and we were from other states. She couldn't imagine he would have so many fans in Brazil.
At 9:00pm Gerry finally arrived...
Everybody was shouting his name. "Gerry! Gerry!"
He seemed to be surprised and very happy!! I think he never imagined that he had so many fans here!!
Then a man ,that is always with him, brought Gerry over to where we were. He autographed Ana's pictures and kissed her. Then he autographed my Atilla's picture and I gave him a gift. He thanked me and said he had to hand over it to his assistant, because he couldn't carry it (at least it was what I understood).
I asked for a kiss pointing at my cheek ( I wanted him to kiss me on my lips, but was embarrassed.) hehehe. At first I thought he wouldn't kiss me but he kissed my face!!! OMG!!!
He's autographed Tricia's picture and kissed her, too. Tricia and Dany gave him gifts. Then we went to the place where our friends were. Zack and his wife passed by us and we called him in hopes that they would come over to us and they did!!!
Zack was kind enough to autograph some cards for us. Zack and his wife were so sweet !! Lena is a little short than I thought. I was surprised about that. *lol*
Gerry spoke a few words in Portuguese: "Divirtam-se"! (enjoy yourselves!) It was so cute!!!
It took quite awhile till Gerry arrived where we were all at. He talked to Náiade, Maria and kissed both of them!! Then Gerry's assistant took a picture of Dany and Gerry together and she caressed his face and he smiled at her. He also autographed her shirt. Gerry went into the theater and we drank soda while waiting for the end of the presentation.
It was almost midnight and everything was calm because a lot of people had left already. Dany was filming us *LOL* , the other girls had left too. Gerry left the theater and Dany starting filming him. He autographed a few pictures again and then left.
We came back to the hotel. We were very tired, but so very happy!!! I couldn't sleep or eat this evening; I only drank water because it was so hot!! The next day, after breakfast we went to the Copacabana Palace. Dany, Tricia and myself met Náiade in front of the hotel and then we went in. We sat near the swimming pool and asked for some drinks. Ana arrived some time later. We also met Zack and took some pictures with him. As always he was so sweet and kind.
We saw Gerry some minutes later but he didn't see us. All the cast members went to a room to be interviewed by the press.
We stayed there for a long time and we had lunch. Gerry stayed in the room as the rest of the cast left. We continued to stay there and wait in the hopes to have the opportunity to take some pictures. All the cast and producers were there close to us, talking and eating.
We were very close to where Zack and the others were having their lunch.
We stayed there all afternoon and then around 2:30pm Gerry came over to our table and we took some pictures with him. Ana and I left for a moment and when we came back Gerry was leaving. We rushed over to him and then asked him if he would take our pictures. So he put down his bag again and took our pictures. Gerry was so patient and kind to do all that for us.
Wow, it was so good staying there and hugging him. His hand on my waist, his beard touching my face....it was heavenly!! (sigh)
After doing this for us, he went over to Zack's table and picked up some food and left in a rush eating it.
Soon he returned after going other places. He passed us and gave us a big smile!
Gerry went to the terrace with Rodrigo, Zack and Lena to be interviewed by a Brazilian showman. (Luciano Huck)
Dany, Tricia and I left because we had to get our luggage ready for our flight back to our states.
We are happy and fulfilled. We got our pictures with Gerry and he had "KISSED" us!!!
When I began to pack my things I felt sadness in my heart because we had to go.
I wish I could have stayed longer in Rio.
I wish I could have spent more time with the girls.
I wish I could have talked to Gerry and asked him if he liked our gifts that we gave him, but he was, of course, very busy. Someone told me that Gerry had been so busy that day he didn't have a chance to eat anything until 5:00pm. Poor man!! He was probably so tired and hungry!!!
We said "goodbye" to Tricia at the airport. I cried a bit on the plane. Dany showed me her films she made. I remember our jokes with each other and all the laughs we had together. But mainly I ''remember" Gerry .(sniff)
That's my report.....my wonderful memories!! =)
Portuguese:
Rodrigo é chatinho e metidinho.Antipatizei com ele..Ainda tem muito o que aprender e já está se achando...tsc,tsc.. Não esperava que ele fosse tão metidinho, embora uma das meninas brasileiras que mora em Londres e foi pra premiere de lá, já tinha comentado algo assim...
Eu só peguei um autógrafo dele pq ele parou bem na minha frente na noite da premiere e eu tinha um cartão de 300 sobrando..então...
Espero que o personagem dele em LOST morra...huahuahuahau
