This was not just an actor I had a crush on. This was the sort of guy I dreamed of, with classic English handsome good looks and a body to die for.

div dir="auto" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"I looked at him quizzically. I didn't know if he was being sarcastic or if he meant it, but it seemed like a strange thing to say. /div

div dir="auto" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"I walked slowly away and opened my file to finally find it wasn't David Tennant after all. In fact, it wasn't any of the actors I had seen in the tent earlier that morning. I stared at the name in the file in a daze as I made my way back to the trailer. This was not just an actor I had a crush on. This was the sort of guy I dreamed of, with classic English handsome good looks and a body to die for. Carey knew I was attracted to him, no wonder he had a naughty glint in his eye. /div

I opened the door and walked straight in, looked up and there he was. With his shirt half undone, his shoes off, fetching himself a glass of water. /div

That was not how my first meeting with my actor was supposed to go. But any composure or professionalism went out the window as soon as I saw him. Carey seemed to know exactly what he was doing pairing me with trailer 1; embarrassing me. /div
