Time flies. It’s hard to believe that 3 months have gone by since I adopted Wesley. He’s such a cute, adorable little guy. He’s growing up fast, and pretty soon he’ll be too old for me to be tucking into bed each night – already he’s telling me to stop fussing over him 
Sometimes I just like watching him sleep – so beautiful and peaceful.
I really like hanging out with my flat-mates – they’re so cool!
One of the great things they do is have friends over for dinner, and very kindly invite me to join them. We always have a good time, and sometimes they even recognise me from some of my action films.
After we’ve had a nice dinner there’s plenty of cleaning up to do. I always pitch in and help of course. One of my favourite jobs is doing the vacuuming. Here’s a few shots of me in action.
Sometimes people treat me cautiously because they think I might hurt them. Admittedly some of the roles I play can give the impression I’m a tough tiger, but (as I’ve said before) I’m really quite shy – I wouldn’t hurt anyone.
In fact most of us tigers are pretty shy – deep down we just want to be friends with you. And this extends to my fellow lions, panthers, leopards and other feline friends.
If you ever needed proof then check out one of my favourite videos about Christian the Lion. It’s old (from 1969, long before I was even born) but is just as true today as then:
Just a quick note to say hi to everyone. For the last month or so I’ve been overseas working on the upcoming James Bond film – Quantum of Solace. This time I was called in to help with choreography on one of the huge action scenes – wait until you see the explosive boat sequence at the start – it is some of my best work.
Anyway I’m back in Sydney for a well earned rest over the next month.
Here’s me on the set with Daniel and Olga:
Occasionally I get asked along to press conferences if they are talking about production related topics (eg stunt work):
I’m very proud to announce that I have adopted a baby polar bear named Wesley.
As a busy stunt tiger I’ve been very lucky in life. And for a little while now I’ve been hoping to help out someone less fortunate than myself.
On my recent trip to the USA I came across this wonderful little guy who needed a loving home. So, as I announced on Twitter earlier this week, I adopted him. He’s now part of the von Turkleberry family. He’s named Wesley, and he’s very cute.
Here’s a picture of Wesley and me. He’s still a little shy.
Here’s the official certificate of adoption that came through yesterday.
And here’s some details about Wesley that Ms Birdy provided. He loves Marshmallows.
Welcome Wesley.
You may not know this, but the whole reason I started this blog was to share my adventures with Jemma. She’s my very special friend.
Well, I so excited to say that I finally met Jemma this weekend. I’m only here for 3 days, which makes it really hard (since I’m going so soon after arriving).
But I’ve cherished the time I’ve been able to spend with her. Here’s me and Jemma. She is so beautiful and kind-hearted.
I’m really going to miss her. But I’ll keep telling her all about my adventures. And there’s a chance I might see her next year. Here’s hoping.
Last night I went out to dinner with some of my new FoxPro friends. Make sure you check out all my photos on Flickr.
After dinner we went to an Irish pub. This was my first time in a pub. I was carded by the security guard on the door, but he recognised me from some of films and ushered me in.
Everyone was drinking Guinness, which is apparently a drink the Irish make. Not wanting to be anti-social, and always keen for new adventures I went up to the bar and ordered one for myself.
It was pretty tasty.
And it went down quite smoothly. However, by half way through I knew I’d had had enough - I’ve only got a small body. So, being the responsible tiger I am I left it there.
When I got back to the hotel I had a big drink of water from my MVP bottle and hit the hay.
Here’s the goodies I got in my MVP registration bag. It’s a nice shirt, but just a tad big for me. The bottle holds a litre of water - just right for keeping me hydrated throughout the day.
I had a great adventure last night, meeting a whole bunch of new friends.
You can see the complete photo album over on my Flickr account.
I’ve made it to Seattle in one piece. I was pretty tired when I checked in last night, but luckily they have put me in a great room with a nice big comfy bed.
Ahhh - tucked in nice and tight!
Here’s the view from my hotel suite
