Quote (bee) I was also wondering how long he has had that green plaid shirt he seems to wear a lot.
Well, I had one in the early nineties, exactly the same! It was extremely comfortable and I never took it off, but then I lost it....guess I know where it is now, huh?!!! LOL. I'm guessing he's probably had it as long if not longer.
He also has a grey long sleeved tee that he seems to have had quite a while, the last time I saw him in it I noticed there was a hole in the elbow. LOL, i know how hard it can be to throw out a truly loved and worn item of clothing! My theory is why waste so much time breaking them in if you're just gonna toss them the minute they show signs of a little wear and tear!? Hell I had a pair of shoes that literally had no soles left in them (but my feet were comfortable so why not?) They had to be prised from my cold steely fingers! Ahhhhh,...I miss them!

I don't think Simon's had that as long, I remember seeing it for the first time in the airport photos when he went to the Monte Carlo event in June 2010.
I think one of his oldest garments is the brown sleeveless v-necked pullover. |

I wonder if Simon realises how closely we notice the clothes he wears! Probably not, but it's nice to know he feels so comfortable in them that he can't throw them away either! I thought that green shirt was older than that Fran but I suppose because he wears it so often it seems like he's had it for ever! I also agree with you AgentM I've had clothes I'm loathe to throw away even when they've become unfashionable. Sign of my age perhaps!!

Great pics...in the first one he looks thoughtful, the second he looks like he could do with a hug and the third he looks like he's thinking "I wonder if they've put the kettle on yet".  |

Any chance that someone could translate this short German interview, the google translation makes no sense at all.
Gutes Aussehen liegt im Auge des Betrachters
von Raya Abirached - Simon Baker ermittelte als The Mentalist. Wann ihm sein gutes Aussehen peinlich ist, verrät er im Interview.
Simon Baker, nach «The Mentalist» spielen Sie in einer Komödie. Warum?
Weil ich noch nie ein derart lustiges Buch gelesen habe. Da waren dreimal so viele Witze wie üblich enthalten.
Wie war es, Ihre gute Freundin und Co-Darstellerin Rose Byrne zu küssen?
Wir kennen uns seit Jahren und plötzlich sollten wir uns küssen. Das war ziemlich schräg! Aber das Küssen machte Spass (lacht).
Rafe Spall fand, Sie küssen sogar besser als Rose Byrne ...
Es war gar nicht vorgesehen, dass er mich küsst, aber er hat es trotzdem gemacht. Ich kann sagen, das war ziemlich irritierend.
Im Film geben Sie den Verführer, privat sind Sie verheiratet. Gab das Zündstoff zuhause?
Da fahre ich voll drauf ab (lacht). Nein, die Rolle steht so im Drehbuch. Das ist alles harmlos.
Aber Ihre Sexiness steht im Film schon sehr im Vordergrund …
Regisseur Dan Mazer reitet ständig darauf herum, wie gut ich aussehe, das ist mir peinlich.
Sie halten sich also selber nicht für gut aussehend?
Das liegt im Auge des Betrachters. Was die Menschen sehen, überlasse ich ihnen. Ich muss mich der Meinung ja nicht anschliessen. Dan Mazer weiss, dass er mich damit ärgern kann (lacht).

just a rough try before work, I hope it helps:
Beauty is the eye of the beholder
from Raya Abichared - Simon Baker investigated as "The Mentalist". When he is embarressed by his good looks he will reveal in this interview.
Simon Baker, after "The Mentalist" you play in a comedy. Why?
Because I never read such a funny book. There were thrice as many jokes in it than usual.
How was it to kiss your good friend and co-actress Rose Byrne?
We´ve been knowing eachother for years and now we should kiss. That was pretty weird! But kissing is fun (laughs).
Rafe Spall said you kiss even better than Rose Byrne...
He wasn´t supposed to kiss me, but he did. I can say, it was quite irritating.
In the film you play the seducer, in private, you are married. Did that cause trouble at home?
I totally love that (laughs). No, that´s all harmless.
But your sexiness is quite central in the film...
Director Dan Mazer keeps on about my good looks, I feel embarressed about that.
You don´t consider yourself as good looking?
It is in the eye of the beholder. What people see is up to them. I don´t have to share the opinion.
Dan Mazer knows, he can tease me with that (laughs). |

Another German interview: http://diepresse.com/home....ersives
Google translation:
Simon Baker: "I like to be subversive"
20.04.2013 18:11 | | by Mariam Schaghaghi (The Press)
For television, he turns "The Mentalist", during the breaks, he makes movies, as currently the British comedy "I Give It A Year" Simon Baker on his fun on variety, the Australian clique in Hollywood and the strange names of his children.
For many, he is "The Mentalist" - but Simon Baker can also be different, as in the detective series to hunt killer. Currently, the Australian can be seen in "I Give It A Year" the British romantic comedy, where he falls in love with a newlywed - and can not loose.
You're usually seen in "The Mentalist". Is there a movie a welcome break in between?
Simon Baker: Absolutely! Since I play in "The Mentalist," I've done three movies. During one break I did "The Killer Inside Me" by Michael Winterbottom, which is very dark and playing in the fifties. After the financial thriller "Margin Call" came, now this romantic comedy. It is always refreshing and creatively stimulating, to take on roles outside the series. On the set of "The Mentalist" I know every colleague, every role, every detail. But it is not easy to find something suitable for this small time window.
What was refreshing on this role?
The figure itself was not a difficult challenge for me. The sharpness of the comedy was crucial. I often get offered romantic comedies, but most I find neither particularly funny nor romantic. This genre is now totally out sucks. But I found this story different. The ingredients for the cocktail are the usual, but they were shuffled, strongly flavored - and the result is stunning.
Accidentally sex photos in digital picture frame to show off the in-laws - at least this is risky. The joke comes from "Borat" writer Dan Mazer.
When I read the script the first time, I felt the design also dared. That could have gone wrong. But I always like to be subversive when I break from the series.
Then you prefer European films? British comedies have indeed rather more oblique sense of humor than American.
This is true, however. It is anyway so that Hollywood can not classify me so completely. They offer me anyway always the same figures to ...
Probably ... as a charming pretty boy?
Yes. As a character actor they have me on the list. But this naughty role mocks subversively about the cliche of me. That made me mad fun.
Are you plagued by paparazzi?
I lead a pretty normal life, am married, have children. I hunt no prostitutes behind or similar spectacular. This attracts photographers not to.
Your children have unusual names: Stella Breeze, Claude Blue and Harry Friday. Who invented it?
My wife and I found it a pity that nowadays there are hardly any middle names. So we allowed a little fun.
One of your first roles in the U.S. was the Oscar movie "LA Confidential". How did you come as a newcomer to it?
I then successfully worked for six years as an actor in Australia. Our film industry is so much smaller. "LA Confidential" was my first job in Hollywood. I had auditioned for the role, then got Guy Pearce. Guy is a phenomenal actor, but I was quite ready to Just Another Australian trumps me.
Is there a kind of Australian clique in LA?
Yes, we are often together. Especially at the beginning of our time in Hollywood, we have spent a lot of time together. Now most of us have family, since it is difficult to meet regularly. Nevertheless, we remain close friends and still see us as a community of solidarity.
In February you get a star on the "Walk of Fame". How was that?
Me are the tears come. Naomi Watts has kept the speech at the unveiling of my star. When my wife, my daughter and I arrived in Hollywood, we have lived in Naomi's apartment to sublet, just a few meters from Hollywood Boulevard. Naomi was then still unknown. I knew her since we had visited in Sydney jointly acting seminars. With this ceremony, joined the circle for us somehow.
