A Finnish-speaker at your service 
Caption: You could look at Simon Baker's smile all day long
Aussi actor Simon Baker melts women's hearts with his glorious smile and fabulous hair.
Simon Baker is an unbelievably sympathetic-looking hunk. His eyes are clear blue and his smile could melt anyone's heart, not to even mention his amazing hair.
Baker is extremely handsome, but his popularity is due to his acting skills. He's been in numerous movies, tv-shows and commercials over the years. The talented charmer was even given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last year.
The 45-year-old Baker has over the years grown his fanbase by acting in the movie I Give It a Year and the TV-show The Mentalist. Besides acting, this hunk is also the face of Givenchy.
The aussie star has been arried to Rebecca Riggs since 1998. Before that, the couple lived together for five years, so this is surely true love. They have three kids together, Stella Breeze, Claude Blue and Harry Friday. On his free time, this charmer often goes surfing and skateboarding with his family. Simon and Rebecca have also picked quite popular godmothers for their children. The actress NIcole Kidman is the godmother to Harry and Naomi Watts to Claude.

Just one thing. He says he has green eyes. Who are we to disagree (but I always think they are blue ) |

His eyes are blue. He said he had small and green eyes in an interview, on 60 minutes Australia in 2009, but he was joking.
This is the excerpt of the interview:
KARL STEFANOVIC: In 'The Mentalist', Simon Baker plays Patrick Jane, a former TV psychic turned crime investigator. The show is huge in America - more than 20 million viewers watch every week. This is just one of the many quotes - "'The Mentalist' has the goods - "the charming, roguish Baker and his big blue eyes. "Baker is TV's latest heart-throb." How does that sit with you?
SIMON BAKER: Well, it's inaccurate I got small eyes and they're green. |

His eyes are light green. However he has a thick blue ring surrounding his iris, and if the light hits at a certain angle they seem blueish. He also has a penchant for wearing blue to bring out that aspect of his eyes. He is also fond of green and tries to match these colors up usually with more success than most  |

His Eyes are Definitely Green but alot of journalists get it wrong. I found him to be physically affectionate - likes to give hugs, had no issues tossing his arm around a stranger for photos, gives hugs or hand holds to staff all day long (especially women but men too) and gives GREAT sincere hugs!!
I still want his clone….
PS - I loved the movie "the Lodger" other than a few production flaws. Great mystery.
"not forgotten" is one of my least favorites, not because of the movie but because of the incredibly stupid remarks made by the director/writer that were made on the DVD. No love was lost between them and Simon but they made asses of themselves with their very curt, hurtful, and vicious remarks that they made about Simon. He gave them a great performance despite their idiocy and snobbery.

I think that Simon has a track record of behaving in a very professional manner, despite those around him. He always seems very cordial and respectful of his fellow actors in all the interviews that I've seen. I also enjoyed "The Lodger" but prefer Simon in his natural blond hair and of course those lovely GREEN eyes! I do wish he would wear more green to bring them out. |

Thank you for the article and translation .
I think his eyes are green (why whould he say this in this interview if not), it comes out more in The Guardian, there you see it clearly in many scenes that it's more green than blue, but they sure often look more like blue. Especially in TM. But no matter what color his eyes are, they are sure "hypnotising". Beautiful...like anything else on this man. |

The DVD has an alternative view - I think found in "extras". The option is the one with director/writer comments ON when watching the video. They "chat" over the viewing of the film. |
