FLAXEN-haired actor Lochlann O'Mearain has a strong handshake. It lasted for 25 seconds. (We counted. ) That's about 20 seconds longer than handshakes that have gone before it.
He's filming Holy Water about the dumping of two million stolen Viagra pills into a well in rural Ireland. He has a few nude scenes ahead of him.
"I'm not looking forward to them, " he told me. Michael O'Mahoney wrote the script, which is being produced by the Konigsberg-Smith Company. Frank Konigsberg was executive producer of Nine and a Half Weeks and produced a comedy based on The Joy of Sex.
Lochlann joined the Confettimagazine troupe at John B Keatings after the premiere of the mockumentary Confetti. The nifty co-branding means copies of the Irish magazine will be given out at the Leicester Square gala.
Lochlann has his own American online fanbase due to his role in Mystic Knights. One fan writes, "I am so honoured to count him as one of my close friends. He is such a kind and giving man." That should earn me some karmatic brownie points for my Ben & Jerry comments.
Ciara Elliott, fashion editor of this newspaper and editor of the real-life Confetti, quietly said of the fictional editor, "She had a very glamorous office."
Ciara and publisher Karen Hesse will be heading to London next week for the UK premiere, throwing the magazine around like, well, confetti.
