Thanks for the pics (I was the person who deleted the thing off the home page because I didn't think it was going to yield any information.) Obviously, I was wrong.

Is it me or is he looking a bit thin there? *cluck cluck* Eat some meat pies, Mr. Baker. LOL (Do love that blue and green shirt...)

I agree Hayseed about him looking a bit thin and also horror of horrors! does his hair look a bit thin on right hand side in photo where he has his arm round girl's shoulder. Perhaps I just need to go to specsavers.

I think this article may already have been posted (or something very similar), but I'm not sure:
Beauty The Guide Magazine http://beautytheguide.com/magazine/#142

Some comments on twitter from Dave Lackie โ€(@davelackie), Editor of the magazine:
Simon Baker told me jokingly that he wears more makeup as an actor than most women. That's why he's really careful about cleansing his face.
He's very sweet in person. Very polite and friendly.
And a reply from @phendricks71: I concur; saw him in Austin recently; 12 yr. fan; my sister the sound editor attests to his great rep.

Thanks Fran. Another tweet from Dave Lackie โ€(@davelackie), about Simon:

" I've interviewed celebs for a long time and he is one of the nicest. Very down to earth."

I think its just the pic Tassie, his hair is quite a bit longer than usual and he has always had a hairline that goes back a long way at the temples. Don't go rushing off to specsavers just yet!

good to see him getting back to his real roots in oz and surfing. He really seems to love this and good that he has been asked to commentate as well. Shows that they respect his talent as a surfer still. What i have seen of his surfing he is incredible

I'm agree with June, I'm basque, from the south of The Basque country and I know that a lot of people watch The Mentalist here, but unfortunately the followers of this show can't see the actors because they never come here. Another example like that, we can't watch I GIVE IT A YEAR here, because it isn't our cinemas, I'd like why, why many times they're in France or England, and why not here?
Sorry for my English angry

I WANT that green shirt!! Anyone see another like it any where?? I wonder if he has more than one! It must be the first packed article (or set aside to wear during flight). tongue

Basque - your english is perfect. Wish I spoke and read another language the way you Europeans do! I was able to find "I give it a year" online about a month ago and watched it on my computer before it hit the theaters here in the USA. You might be able to find it online also.

I was lucky enough to have met Simon. ( I basically stalked him all day long during a shoot on the street). It was a hot long day for him (he had been on set for hours when I arrived at 9am) and was finally off duty at 4:30 pm. He was gracious to all, goofed off with the staff, was respectful and attentive to the director and all staff, patient and gracious to all who approached him. Low key, quiet, but observing everything that was going on. When extras came to him at the end of the day and asked him if they could take pictures with him, he immediately was warm, friendly and welcomed them with big smiles, hugs and "of course I will pose with you! Thanks for your efforts today!" He also gave me a big hug without my asking him - just a very nice man who is very masculine while at the same time gentle and warm. He easily switches from take charge masculinity to warm and gentle - I can see how he easily melds into so many environments and situations as he reads his environment and people very well and gives everyone equal respect.

Basque, if you want to watch "I Give It A Year" you might want to try this link:

IGIAY

Quality is not great, but it works - at least it did...
