Haha, quite. And I do believe you're right; it takes a crazy person to want to breathe fire and all. I'd do it...

Well, if I had someone responsible to teach me how to do it, and I started small, I would SO do it. Fire scares me, but I think manipulating it like that would be cool. Of course, real life peoples like us aren't Dustfinger, but still ^.^

lol, yeah. But starting out small would be with matches. I can recall only a few times I've been brave enough to put out a candle by pinching the wick. But for as long as I remember, I've always loved fire-eaters and the like.
But back on topic...what do you all think of Paul's acting style? Diverse, no? I think he is very close to the epitome of an actor since he's able to play so many different roles extremely well. I went from watching him in Firewall to seeing him in Master and Commander and I didn't even picture him as "Oh, that's the bad guy," or "Oh, that's the doctor..." He's very talented.

Yay, Ellen! ;D She's so funny. Loove her. And that commercial was so funny!
Heh, yeah Paul seems like the...adventurous sort. So I would say he did some of the smaller-scale things, and perhaps the more intense stuff is CGI.
I wonder; since you saw the commentary, you may know, Ri: did Paul play all the tennis in Wimbledon?

ahaha....No. xD They really did all the serves, but when it came to hitting it back and forth, no. That was CG. If you say, "What CG?" then the CG people will be flattered. But yeah. Paul actually....started to take tennis lessons when he was signed on for the movie, and that first scene with him, the VERY FIRST scene (if you look closely, you can see a backbrace under his shirt...I need that), he was commenting, "I really...was not ready for that. I still had two months to go and I had no clue what I was doing." Stuff like that.
And I honestly didn't see the whole commentary. Since I was trying to do my homework at the same time, Paul's voice and accent kept distracting me, so I just switched the audio...Anyway.

Ahh, I love it. I would think he would be a good tennis player (it actually surprises me that he doesn't play in real life, I don't know why). But that's always Paul, willing to give it a try, at least once. He's a funny bird.

Indeed he is, and we love him for it. xP But I think that's a very fulfilling way to live one's life, trying new things. He's in a good position to try many different things, and some actors can be like, "Eh, no just CG it in," or, "Body double?" But he's like, "I'll try it!" When he was checking out Wimbledon, he was determined to do it since he received a comment from someone saying, "Oh you're not romantic comedy material." HAH! That is what I say to them: "HAH!" He was marvelous.
