That's shattered one of my longstanding dreams, that has. *:|* :P :lol:

I remember a Bex interview from soon after FÅ where the interviewer asked if she would remain friend with Alex. Her reply was along the lines of she didn't think so because all her friends were older and Alex was still very young.

Of course that doesn't tie in at all with my alternate reality. *:)* *:)* :lol:

At the teenage end of the scale, a few years is a huge divide, developmentally; now, as grown women, it should be negligible. I don't 'ship' them as lovers because of the film, that would be silly, but I'm pretty sure they'd be friends, having FA in common. I mean its impact was/is huge, not only in Sweden, but the wider world too, right?

Alternate reality, oh god I had a few of them with film characters thinking the actors would be friends off set :D

I always got with Bex that she's a homebody, who's happy to live in a small Swedish town, to do a 5 day a week job and take care of her kids and go out for a drink at the weekend with her Boyfriend. I think she, if I'm wrong you could pull me up about it fish :D, didn't she leave home at the age of 15 and got her own place. I think Bex went through her fun phase at quite a young age. I always got with Bex during the Fucking Amal era, inside that 18 year old girl there was a 45 year old woman, she was way mature for her age.

While Alex, she's the totally opposite, I think she loves the glamour and red carpet lifestyle. I just couldn't imagine her doing what Bex is doing. She' out been a actress, DJ and director, she's travelled around Europe, South America and U.S.A. She's dare I say it a bit of a Hipster. She's 30 and I say she still feels like she's 21 :D

I'm sure both are happy in their respective lives, but even now I say both would have little in common. I would have loved to seen what happened backstage at that reunion they had at the Gay/lesbian film festival , looking at that clip now I got a awkward vibe going on. Or maybe that's just me :D

I'm sure they would have that common bond with FA. But even on the set they didn't bond that much, Bex even said so herself in interviews. I say they have a mutual respect for one another and say hello and chat if they met up, close friends or even friends I doubt it somehow. Maybe I'm wrong. They have such totally different lives now, I doubt either have that much in common.

I think that was just a paying gig.
We may well have alternate realities which have different explanations but sadly I think Alex stayed around a while and Bex left after their part was over.
(There's a pic of Alex alone at the gig, but not a single one of Bex. *:|* )

Yeah I don't see any chemistry between them in that clip, it comes off awkward to me rather then bustling with chemistry but maybe that's just me. Like Bex didn't want to be there but the money that was offered maybe was too good to turn down.

Yeah I think Bex probably picked up the cheque and got out of there.

Alexander was probably waiting outside in the car, with the kids, and the engine running. :P :lol:

I know you are probably joking but that might be actually true :D. Anyway if the money was good enough and if you only had to say a few words, I would have been there in a flash :D

I think you're both far too cynical. There was one bit where it looked like they were about to snog. :wink: :mrgreen:

You should try living in my alternate reality where I agree with Ian. :shock: :P :lol:

We're just totally spoiled for alternative realities, around here.
