It never bothered me, but I could see how Alessandra would be uncomfortable. I was used to it,but she wasn’t.
I was able to sneak into the airline’s VIP lounge and pretty much everyone in there left me alone. One older lady who clearly wasn’t much of a movie fan sat next to me, and chatted about how she was traveling to Hawaii to look at the birds. Silently I prayed that she wasn’t assigned to sit next to me.It was a long flight to sit and talk about the different breeds of birds in Hawaii.
Thankfully, the flight wasn’t that full, and I had space next to me in first class. I shot Alessandra a text saying I was about to take off, and she sent me a picture of herself and Jenson in wet suits by the top of the big fish tank. I bet they were having a blast, and a big part of me wished I was there with them, enjoying the smiles on their faces. I would have liked to see Jenson get excited for all the sharks and fish. He really enjoyed everything ocean, which was so cool.
I spent the flight going over my lines, and read the script for the rest of the scenes we were shooting. They were going to be pretty intense, and a lot more scenes with Nineveh.
Which, hopefully Alessandra wouldn’t have any more loco moments, seeing me with my coworker. Nineveh was beautiful, sure. And she was very nice, and quiet. A professional.
She was nothing like Alessandra. That woman could burn a building just by looking at it, if it bothered her.
When I landed in Kauai, I drove my rented Jeep to the beach house I rented near the set, and beelined for the water.
