(I unfortunately have no idea how to address you, because your list at the end irritates me and I am not sure if your name is among them.)<br />Welcome here and your comments are welcome at any time. There is no time frame.<br />Thank you very much for your ideas and insightful thoughts about RA.<br />I don't really want to suggest what would be right for him, because I am sure he will chose what he likes and very much hope he does that without any pressure from somebody else or out of a thought to having to fulfil someone's expectations. He hopefully will only fulfil his own and will be able to do so. Fate will unfold its own meaning and find its way and destiny.<br />Thank you again for your comment!CDoarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768482276143704993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002438504617561405.post-32331856086594380092013-12-18T17:52:36.031+00:002013-12-18T17:52:36.031+00:00A proper partner for RA would never leave his side...A proper partner for RA would never leave his side. Looking back through all that I have seen about Richard, I would have to say he would require his partner to go with him on his journeys only because he's incredibly lonely, though I doubt he would ever demand it, but would cherish her evermore for it. I would say a strong, chiseled woman is his cup of tea... not just muscle wise, mind wise. Richard would need her strength to lean on and her beauty to boost him. She would need to have the ability to "fit in" to any role he's currently working on, a social chameleon would be perfect. One who can stand out as well as blend in. A dolloo of street smarts never hurt either. Bind that to an already compassionate, loving, and thoughtful woman and you have an ideal candidate. Age will play a huge role as well. I just can't see Richard with a super model, actress, nor any other high profile role bearer. No, he's definitely old school... the lady cooks, cleans, baby's, spoils, follows, stands her ground unwaveringly beside him. He has been hurt very badly relationship wise before, having your love pick her career over you, that's just foul. I could never just walk away from my man, that would be terribly dishonorable. No one deserves that not ever! Least of all this man... he has a very precious Spirit and that splendid attribute should be protected at all costs. In no other persons eyes have I viewed such sadness, pain, loneliness, and heartache. If it takes the rest of mylife and the last of my strength iI will change Richards look of deep, personal sorrow to one of complete and utter joy! That is my destiny I have chosen, what will you gorgeous ladies do to help our beautiful friend Richard succeed in finding his perfect Zen? Love you all! Sorry post is so late! Lol! Hugs and the happiest of thoughts to you Richard!

Everything is fine and I think it is a very good point you make.<br />It is, I think, also the point why I hesitate with this combination, though I completely agree, that they would understand the similar pressure and necessities their jobs require. <br />One partner jetting around the world, could take the other with him, but two needing to jet to opposite ends of the world might get a bit hard to co-ordinate and in the end a bit of a lonely partnership.<br />But I also agree, being the one left at home having to wait, would well go beyond my imaginative endurance, especially when the other half of the partnership gets to see New Zealand ;o)CDoarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768482276143704993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002438504617561405.post-73339475922116072582012-03-18T19:51:21.173+00:002012-03-18T19:51:21.173+00:00I hope the above response didn't come across i...I hope the above response didn't come across in any way as judgmental of your comments, CDoart, I just noticed as I read your response about your friend that a lot of the pressures you attributed to modeling also applied to acting and it struck me someone who understood that pressure could make a good partner. :)UK Expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811708774336070626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002438504617561405.post-9723381582076366362012-03-18T19:33:29.624+00:002012-03-18T19:33:29.624+00:00Hmmm, CDoart - you bring up some very interesting ...Hmmm, CDoart - you bring up some very interesting observations here! Let's see, 'the hard career of a supermodel, with lots of world-spanning appointments' as compared to RA's own career with its similar world-spanning appointments? :) <br /><br />And the supermodel's pressure to live a 'beautiful illusion' is one RA likely already shares, as I am sure he already lives under this pressure himself in his industry (would there really be so much oggling if RA sported a noticeable muffin top?). And might it not be better to have two jetting partners rather than only one jetting partner while the other is left waiting alone for his return? ;) <br /><br />I have no particular bias for RA to be in a relationship with someone 'normal' as his life may prove to be quite a bit removed from anything normal. And there are actually similarities in lifestyle and demands between the two careers (is modeling not another form of 'acting' for print?). <br /><br />And as Jane has noted above, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr have seemingly found a way to make it all work out. :)<br /><br />I hope I didn't offend with this post. I'm just saying a supermodel may have more in common with an actor than most people think. Plus there would likely be more candid photos as the paparazzi get two celebs for the price of one photo! ;)UK Expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811708774336070626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002438504617561405.post-4201892187304898812012-03-18T19:05:05.186+00:002012-03-18T19:05:05.186+00:00Thank you, Jane ;o)Thank you, Jane ;o)CDoarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768482276143704993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002438504617561405.post-31082516418425135092012-03-18T18:36:04.685+00:002012-03-18T18:36:04.685+00:00I was speaking in general, as I have often heard f...I was speaking in general, as I have often heard fans saying they are glad he's not dating a model, as they would consider that superficial or whatever.

I even have a friend who went into that business, before a spine injury prevented her further steps.<br />I only think, that the hard career of a supermodel, with lots of world-spanning appointments and the necessity to always live a beautiful illusion for the media, would bring further pressure to a relationship. I just would wish something more comfortable for RA.<br />That men like goodlooking women, I have no doubt and I don't think RA is an exception here ;o)<br />Thank you, Jane!CDoarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768482276143704993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002438504617561405.post-74470266325327701462012-03-18T15:10:05.909+00:002012-03-18T15:10:05.909+00:00I have taken no offence whatsoever! Re the supermo...I have taken no offence whatsoever! Re the supermodel comment - surely the idea comes from OB and his wife and the fact that she is so famous makes it a lot more likely that they are photographed together. I know little about her, but nothing bad, and I'm not prejudiced against her just because of her profession. I think many fans of RA would prefer it if he dates a woman closer to his own age and more "normal" in every respect, because they could identify with her, and imagine that theoretically they would have a chance as well. On the other many people will expect that a red blooded male who has his pick among women ends up with a supermodel, because that is what every man dream off, and think it is odd if he doesn't. <br /><br />I agree that current circumstances make any long term relationship difficult - would a relationship with someone in the UK survive almost two years of separation? And if he has met someone in NZ, what happens when filming is finished? NZ too far away for regular weekend trips! On the other hand, OB is a Brit mostly working in the US and his wife is Australian and they manage.

I don't bite (at least nothing except my food ;o)<br /><br />I agree with you, UK Expat, that the time he has between his travels and filming obligations, leaves him only few options, but clever man he is, who knows ... ;o)<br />I don't really worry overmuch, only in that regard, that I hope he is happy whatever he does.<br />I try not to project my experiences upon him, but he enriches my life by seeing his efforts coming to fruition. It is hard to describe the multitude of motives, why this makes me happy, but it does.<br />I see him as an excellent actor, taking his roles home and developing himself further through going through the creation process of each role. <br />I followed a very talented German actor, who unfortunately already died a few years ago. He was comparable in his approach to live the roles he played. You believed every bit he played in full, if he played a criminal, a charmer, a gambler, ... He told once about the problems, this character change caused for his marriage and how hard it was for a partner to follow on that continually changing way.<br />Combined with the many travels, that does not make an all too steady relationship possible.<br /><br />I absolutely love your alternative name for the RA-fandom ;o)<br />Thank you, UK Expat, for commenting!CDoarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768482276143704993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002438504617561405.post-11237569995822037082012-03-17T14:12:56.950+00:002012-03-17T14:12:56.950+00:00Hi CDoart!

I feel I may have influenced Jane's 'supermodel' comment by once suggesting Orlando Bloom's wife was more interesting to the paparazzi than he was and if people were hoping for more photos of RA, it might help if he started dating a supermodel (to attract press). :)<br /><br />For me personally, I think of the old adage 'Don't kill the messenger!'(as in the opening of 'Gladiator') when I think of RA. Possibly modified to, 'Don't overanalyze the messenger or imbue messenger with awesome projections or traits that really belong to you!' :) I should caveat this by saying that this is just my own personal take, and that everyone should enjoy the pleasurable process of finding the answer to this question for themselves! But the fact that he is able to mirror and amplify certain traits we recognize in ourselves or awaken long forgotten or unacknowledged desires is - in itself - a wonderful gift. <br /><br />For me, having a place to share and enjoy this discussion with others on-line is already the lottery prize of discovering RA's work. <br /><br />I might have only found you outside of the RA tag had you advertised as 'incredibly intelligent, creative, supportive, silly, open-minded, empathetic community of artists, writers, bakers, homemakers, webmistresses, and all around ass-kicking women you would love to know' (and you thought Fanstravaganza was a long title!)<br /><br />As for relationships, I'd have to say (having lived a similar travel work life split between 2 countries) I'd be pretty danged impressed if he's been able fit one in! :DUK Expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811708774336070626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002438504617561405.post-71974635130423789182012-03-16T18:56:02.656+00:002012-03-16T18:56:02.656+00:00Thank you very much, Ania!

(I think, I would not tell either way, if I were in his place.) I wonder a bit about the 'funny' discussion and how it came into existence, but whatever. It is his life and his to enjoy and I hope very much he does exactly that.<br />I think, a supermodel would disturb me a bit, but only because I would not believe she is the best choice for him, but then I would say to myself - who am I to judge and bother and would await his next film as I do now ;o)<br />But in his case I think a partner would be able to have a great influence on his performance. Like you say, I also think he takes his characters home, whereas I think, the absences are not even the worst of it. I think he would change his approach to the partnership according to the discoveries of each role, which might be a bit difficult to bear for a partner and would need a lot of trust and understanding. <br />(And once again I am in full protection mode ;o)<br />I am too young for that in his regard, but I feel a bit like a mother hen trying to ascertain that all her chickens are safe ;o)CDoarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768482276143704993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002438504617561405.post-66234370698519052902012-03-14T22:20:49.877+00:002012-03-14T22:20:49.877+00:00Thank you, Phoebe.
