Joshua Jackson network

Josh was interviewed while in Toronto last month by HelloMagazine.ca and he discusses his filming in Vancouver, his birthday (and anniversary with Diane Kruger) and more… I’ve also updated the 16 new photos taken on Monday of Josh on the set and filming Fringe in Vancouver.

Thanks to HelloMagazine.ca for this great article! Also, you’ll find photos of Josh on set below as well as from LaineyGossip.com.

Being back in Canada certainly agrees with Joshua Jackson, as the Vancouver-born actor was all smiles shooting the second season of his hit series Fringe in his hometown yesterday.

The 31-year-old recently revealed to HELLO! Canada that he was thrilled to be moving back home and looking forward to sharing the west coast lifestyle with his gorgeous girlfriend Diane Kruger.

The German actress - a favourite of Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld - has turned her beau into something of a style icon himself. However, despite being known for their glamorous red carpet style, the couple may soon be trading in their tuxes and heels for hiking boots, as Joshua revealed that the sporting activity was a personal favourite.

“It’s great for me to be able to go home and take Diane and show her in the middle of summer what Vancouver can be like,” he told HELLO!

And with Vancouver in the midst of a heatwave, and Canada Day celebrations rolling out across the city, the timing of their homecoming couldn’t be better.

Thanks to IGN.com for putting out the good news that Josh, along with his co-stars, Anna Torv and John Noble, will be in attendance for this years 2009 Comic Con in San Diego. Executive Producer and writers Jeff Pinkner, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman will also be in attendance.

Tickets are already sold out for the event, so if you’ve been lucky enough to claim a spot for this year’s Comic Con, be sure to plan to check out this panel!

While waiting for confirmation, it looks like Fringe is scheduled to be lined up for the 40th Annual Comic Con in San Diego. The panel is scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 25th at 4 pm. The cast and crew haven’t been announced yet, but I’m sure this will be a great turn out in comparison to last year. Once I have more details, I’ll be sure to let you all know.

And Warner Bros. has just released a new DVD promo for the first season:

While out promoting the new Rogers HTC mobile, Josh had a one on one interview with Jee-Yun Lee about the show, its success and move to Vancouver (not to mention he gives some baby advice!).

Also, Fringe was nominated for a TCA Award! The Televisition Critics Association have nominated the show for Best New Program of the Year. Josh is also being considered for the Lead Actor in a Drama for the Emmys. Keep your fingers crossed that he’s selected to be nominated!

Thanks to Mary and bearlee for getting this video for us of two interviews with Josh while he was in Toronto promoting Rogers new mobile phones:

After yesterday’s fan based promotion of Rogers new Android HTC cell phone, Josh graced the media with the unveiling of the new line at a press conference held today in Toronto. You can check out a video that features Josh at the phone’s debut, along with details about the product itself. (Side note: Josh does not believe in Twitter!) Watch the Video Here

HelloMagazine.ca has even more scoop:

When Joshua Jackson first received his new Android HTC cell phone – the new Rogers Wireless device he was in Toronto to promote this week – the first number he programmed in was that of his gorgeous screen star girlfriend, Diane Kruger.

The Canadian actor, who recently starred in One Week, a film which saw him travelling across the country by motorcycle, travelled a much more manageable distance on Monday. He toured the city introducing the latest cellular technology and surprising some very lucky fans.

When chatting about the phone, the tech-savvy star noted, “It is a jet-setting life when you’re working on a TV show because you’re constantly moving and constantly travelling, so one of the big problems is being able to stay in touch.” He further went on to explain that a highly capable cell phone helps to alleviate the issue of searching for internet cafés all over the world.

The 30-year-old is about to be on the road a lot less, though, now that he and his love are moving back to his hometown of Vancouver. The second season of Joshua’s hit series Fringe is set to be filmed there, rather than New York where the first successful season unraveled.

“It’s best case scenario for me to go home. I haven’t worked in Vancouver since, I think ’95,” he shared, adding, “not that I should admit that I’ve been working that long!”

“It’s great for me to be able to go home and take Diane and show her what Vancouver can be like in the middle of summer. We went up there to find a place about a month ago – just the end of the rainy season. It was the perfect 28 degree, not-a-cloud-in-the-sky day and I was like ‘See hun! It’s gonna be great!” he joked, knowing full well that Vancouver is burdened by cloud and rain.

But it sounds as though the style-savvy couple will fair just fine in their new climate, “She’s German and grew up in the countryside, so I don’t think she’s afraid of the inclement weather.”
