I hope this story is not true. This is were fandom gets into stalking. I really feel sorry for people who have to deal with this and really hope Simon has better fans. People like this are crazy. |

I think it's almost certainly exaggerated, although I can imagine Simon's reaction being "Oh, for God's sake!". Unfortunately I do think there are some so-called fans who don't know the meaning of respect, so I suspect all celebrities have to deal with bad behaviour from time to time. I think 'fans' like that are in the minority, but even 1 person like that is 1 too many  |

The word fan comes from fanatic, which means to the utmost. That happens here a lot where filming is in open land and stars have to accept that that is the product of fame, but I do agree that following him in the loo was over the top. |

French TV mag article: http://tvmag.lefigaro.fr/program....au.html
Google translation (not very good, perhaps one of our French members can improve it for us):
Simon Baker "The Mentalist image stuck with me"
Interview with TF1 heroes coming soon in cinema 's Love
The Australian will surprise his fans by appearing Wednesday, April 10 in the irreverent British comedy Marriage in English , along with Rose Byrne ( Damages ). We met Simon Baker in London at the premiere of the film. Before flying on the set of The Mentalist , he confides his vision of the conjugal union.
Simon Baker, who is your character in the film?
I play Guy, an American, shot the seducer ... Finally, this is what we think at the beginning! He will not run as you can imagine, there's a surprise. I'm a temptation for the bride, played by Rose Byrne, but I do not present it as such.
Did you look forward to receiving proposals for film role radically distant Mentalist ?
For the moment, I have the image Mentalist stuck to the skin and I do not complain, it is the result of the success of the series with millions of fans who follow us around the world. I try now to bring all these people in another universe, they get to follow me in a character. Since I play Patrick Jane, I managed to turn in three films - as secondary roles. I do not have time, unfortunately, turn to a leading role as my "break" on the set, the summer is too short for that. And anyway, I have not found anything that I really like.
You do not get enough scripts to your liking?
It remains limited since I can only work from mid-April to late July. I'm trying to circumvent the problem because I plan to produce my own films. I even want to make myself. I really took a liking to me the realization leading to episodes of The Mentalist .
Of course, it is question of marriage in the film, what it means to you?
Rebecca I married in 1998. This was not a church wedding, pompous, but wedding in Australia! In fact, it was twice married, first in California, Carmel, on the beach, just the two, with our daughter Stella, and the person who has united us. We wanted to celebrate our love as well. Then, five months later, we did it in Australia for Christmas with our families and our friends. We made a huge party under the trees!
Fifteen years of marriage ... : Do you have a secret life?
(He sighs and takes a long pause) I do not hold any secret to last a couple. Always be alert because there will always be obstacles, trials to test the strength of our love. Nothing is played, as I've said before, I do not take our relationship for granted. As soon as we said "that's it, it's easy, it rolls alone! "Something belies that.
The film evokes the first year of marriage your marriage almost did not survive ...
We almost separated, it's true. If we had not decided to leave Australia for the United States, maybe it would have happened. We had a big change and a common challenge: from the front. I struggled for my career, too, we fought to save our marriage, it has "resoldered." |

Would that be a sequel to the originals or to the first 3, if you see what I mean. 
Probably April Fool as Wand said. |

Paris-Match article (4-10 April 2013) and nice photo:
http://www.parismatch.com/People-....-475268
Google translation (doesn't seem to make a lot of sense):
Simon Baker. The Perfect Man
The actor of "Mentalist" has it all: beautiful, loyal, cool. Our reporter cracked.
Interview in London, Catherine Schwaab - Paris Match
This is the most beautiful man I've ever seen! "A cry from the heart from its British director, Dan Mazer, who is not yet a newcomer. "He is beautiful without effort. Easy ... For example, his hair is going very early in the morning ... Well, he wakes up wearing! How can you be so beautiful? Amazing ... "Simon Baker did not realize, he observes. "He had no arrogance; nice with everyone, well mannered and attentive. '
When shooting outdoors, the other actors were chafe. Dan Mazer said: "It was Elvis and the Beatles combined! Old, young, men, women. There were really for him! Can not shoot! This guy is dynamite! "And yet unsure of himself, he always needs to be reassured:" He was nervous about certain scenes. "I'm not funny, how are you doing?" He told me, worried. Which added to its charm than his character. This player does not know his talent. So I pushed him: "Go! Loose yourself! "He went. '
No question, for the photo shoot, play clowns like his colleagues.
It should say "This Year's Love" comedy crazy, does not lace. The sleek, Simon Baker plays Mazer contrast, without forcing. Baker gentleman in the film surprised looks that make us laugh. Stiffness comic, a bit like Hugh Grant. "This is a refined man who appreciates good restaurants, good wine. I'm pretty burger Coke. "
The actor tried to communicate his hedonism esthete. They came for family trips gourmet British countryside, or a jump Eurostar to visit Paris, wine bars and museums. Rebecca, a former actress, as Australian Simon landed with their three children, Stella (born 1993), Claude (1998) and Harry (2001). Mazer: "They are very friendly. Simon took them cricket, a film festival in south-west England ... '
When we discover in this frigid day English, Baker is warm, smiling. You embrace the French, takes you by the arm to sit in front of him, around a small table. Offers poking his plate of fresh-cut fruit. But it beautiful here have tried a humorous role, no question, for the photo shoot, play like clowns colleagues. It's not because of his recent award of "Sexiest Man Alive" award authority by the Americans, not the "Mentalist" is a disarmingly shy. Not necessarily the best client to speak for himself.
