Justin took a few pics yesterday with some fans in Boulder, Colorado. Click on the thumbnails for bigger pics.

I added to the gallery three print ads of a 19/20 year-old Justin modeling for Soviet Jeans in 1990. Credit goes to Sheila at Bellazon. Click on the thumbnails for the album.

We have a two more video interviews from the 54th Monte Carlo Television Festival that Justin attended last month.

In this first interview that aired on Croatian show inMagazin, Justin talks a bit about working on Grey’s Anatomy and the success of the show, the best advice he’s been given in the business and what he does when he’s not working.

 
In this second interview from Brain Damaged, Justin describes his last day working with Sandra Oh, whether he thinks Alex will return to Grey + Sloan Memorial Hospital, his favorite season 10 moments and if he thinks Alex has finally found happiness with Jo.

Another video interview was posted at french channel TF1’s site. Because it’s geo-blocked for people outside of France (boo!), I uploaded it to Youtube.
The video can be watched at the source here: Justin Chambers « Alex et Jo, la famille risque de s’agrandir !» or below.

In this video, Justin discusses the evolution of Alex and his relationship with Jo. Also, Justin speaks a bit in french.

 
There have been quite a few interviews that have come out over the last couple of weeks from the ABC Studios press tour, but they’re mostly in french. I’ll try translating them and posting sometime. In the meantime, here is one from Portuguese newspaper, Metro.

Justin Chambers
For almost 11 years he’s played the role of Dr. Alex Karev in “Grey’s Anatomy”. We sat down with the actor in London where he explained his motivations.

“I have gained Alex’s mannerisms”

How does an actor stay motivated to play the same character for 10 or 11 years?
That’s a good question, because I don’t know! Maybe a check and knowing you have a job? But more seriously: in “Grey’s Anatomy” we have a lot of people coming in and leaving, even in each episode. I think I inspire myself in the way they commit, by the freshness they bring. The characters that Shonda [Rhimes, creator of the show] wrote have the necessary flaws to keep the show interesting. It’s like if you asked me: “Why do viewers keep watching the show?” It also goes for us actors: if we seem to be interested, it’s because it must be interesting.

Are you still surprised by the scripts you get?
Sure. A few seasons ago Alex ratted Meredith out in a specific situation. I told Shonda that I didn’t think my character was capable of committing that kind of betrayal. It didn’t seem like him! So we both sat down and agreed on: “We’ll get him drunk, because people do stupid things when they drink.” It really is like that: there are things that we might not understand, but what my character does can affect Arizona and then Callie…

Justin is on his way home after spending a few days in Belgium where he did press for Grey’s Anatomy. Here is a short interview from a Belgian site which was translated from french (Link to original source below).

Justin Chambers (Grey’s Anatomy) passing through Brussels!

After Monaco and London, Justin Chambers aka Alex Karev, the handsome Pediatric surgeon on “Grey’s Anatomy” is in Belgium, more precisely in Brussels for a European tour. We met him.

“This is the first time I come to your country and I admit that I fell in love with the architecture of some facades in Brussels” reveals the actor comfortably installed in a suite of a luxury hotel in the capital.

During the interview that he gives us, and to discover this Thursday, June 19th, the actor is back on the 10th season of “Grey’s Anatomy” being broadcast since last Saturday on RTL-TVI, but also on his visit to Belgium.

As a gift, the actor is left with a “Ciné-Télé-Revue” where two of his colleagues pose. “Thank you for this copy. I see it dates from 2011. Soon then my cover? “, he says as a joke.

And on his way back home today…

Sorry for the lack of updates the last few days, but I needed a bit of a break and now things have piled up. Today, I told myself, “Time to stop procrastinating, Diana!” lol

Justin is currently in Brussels (Belgium), but here’s a roundup of stuff that came out during Justin’s stop in London for the ABC Studios Press Tour.

First off, a couple of interviews…

Exclusive! Grey’s guy feels like an “old” TV star

Grey’s Anatomy star Justin Chambers has been playing the part of Dr. Alex Karev in the hit U.S medical drama since 2004, so it’s not surprising that he feels like “an old TV actor.”

Speaking about working on the same show for over ten years, Justin told RTÉ Ten: “I feel like an old TV actor. It’s been a great ride. It’s wild how quickly it’s gone, but at the same time, I don’t really remember life before this show. It seems like this is what I’ve always done.”

He added: “Not many people can say in today’s world that they have been part of television history for over ten seasons. I’m still excited to be there. I’m still excited to work with the people I work with. Hopefully, I will give people a good hour of TV for the next season or two.”

After a decade of playing the part of hunky doctor Alex, Justin admits that sometimes he finds it difficult in audition situations to play a different character.

Justin further stated: “Yeah, I’m a bit like Alex and he’s a bit like me, but the way we go about our world’s are different. I actually had an audition a while ago, and it felt like I was Alex trying to audition for the role and not Justin. You do wear it as a glove.

“The whole character thing is questionable to me. In the end it’s all coming from you and your personality,”

The last season of Grey’s Anatomy saw Alex striking up a romance with Jo (Camilla Luddington), and RTÉ Ten were eager to find out if their romance will continue to blossom in the upcoming series.

When asked about Alex’s love-life, Justin said: “If anything, their relationship is going to blossom. This past year we’ve seen how they’ve worked off, off each other. In their relationship, you finally have a character that is similar to Alex – who’s come from a broken home, a person who has had to work through a lot of obstacles to become a doctor.

“They complement each other. They’re going to explore more of that. Jo being there to help him with his father, to push him and sort of make amends with him, that’s just setting an example of what’s to come in the future. Now that they live together, it will explore what it’s like for him to be domestic and who knows; maybe they’ll get married and have kids. Anything is possible.”

 
Sky Living airs the season 10 finale of Grey’s Anatomy tomorrow night (June 18), and the channel’s site has a video up where Justin talks a bit about Sandra Oh. You can check it out at Sky Living or watch the video below.

 
Here are several photos fans took with Justin in London and posted on social media. Click on the thumbnails for the bigger versions.

Justin continues on the ABC Studios Press Tour where he is currently in London, England. His next stop will be Brussels, Belgium.

This is another video interview from Télé-Loisirs.fr where Justin talks about what to expect in season 10 (season 9 just finished airing in France) and a bit about what he thinks will happen with the relationship between Alex and Jo. The video from the source auto-plays, so once again I uploaded it to Youtube.

 
Justin did the Live Facebook Q&A Session today in London. For those who missed it, you can watch it at Facebook where it’s being replayed. This is link to it: ABC Studios UK

I also uploaded the Q&A session to Youtube for those who prefer to watch it that way. Check it out below.

P.S. – If you’ve watched the Q&A, here is a photo from when Justin met Axl Rose. LINK
