Blue carpet took on a new meaning this last weekend with The Mole given the opportunity to be a paparazzi on the Finding Nemo Submarien Voyage launch blue carpet, meeting and interviewing some of Disney and TV’s leading stars.
The Mole had a chat with Aussie Prison Break star Dominic Purcell, [pictured left – image Kristie Kellahan] who told The Mole that while he was born in the UK, he was brought up in Sydney and saw himself as Australian.
He said that he loved the Aussie connection with Nemo and anything that helped promote Australia had to be good and that could do something for Australia like Paul Hogan had done.
Although a photo of Desperate Housewives Mr Salise, aka Ricardo Chavira was on TravelMole yesterday, The Mole did have a chat to change with Ricardo, [pictured below – image Kristie Kellahan].
The Mole asked Ricardo if he had been to Australia and he said that he had not but wanted to go Australia and looked forward to visiting soon.
When asked if he thought that that there were many Desperate Housewives in Australia he said that if there were he would get down to Australia even quicker!
When asked if he had any connections with Nemo he did say he ate a lot of fish, but more seriously that his son who was going to be four and half soon was crazy about Nemo and they had watched the movie together what seemed like eighty or ninety times!
With David Arquette and Courtney Cox approaching, The Mole dived in and was told by David that he had worked in Australia and had visited Sydney, Melbourne.
David said that he loved the Great Barrier Reef, describing it as amazing with the connection with Nemo great and good for Australia, hoping to get back to Australia very soon.
Sadly Courtney remained very quiet, except that she said that she loved Australia and wanted to visit.

Sean Astin came bouncing down the carpet saying that he and his wife were planning on going to Australia and New Zealand soon for holiday.
With the Mole’s head burning in the 90F sunshine, irrepctive of sunscreen, many of USA leading Hispanic soap opera stars passed by and were mobbed by the local media – their equivalent of Home and Away and Neighbours stars it appears.
