It seems hard to find a genuine person in Hollywood these days but they are there, usually buried under a great deal of politics and maneuvering that doesn’t seem to end. Pico Alexander however is one of those that seems comfortable staying away from it and speaking his mind when he has the chance. In all honesty looking beyond the glitz and glam of Hollywood to the real people that exist beyond the spotlight is entirely possible but one has to be willing to admit that they’re people and not icons. Folks like Pico tend to love what they do and do it to the best of their ability but when the cameras are off they also tend to be kind of relieved since it means they get to go back to their personal lives for a while. For the most part it’s comforting to know that actors are still just regular folks at heart.
Here are a few things you might not have known about Pico.
10. His screen name is a childhood nickname.
He was actually given this name before he was born and it just stuck. With some a nickname isn’t something they keep after childhood but this one in particular seemed to carry a lot of sentiment and feeling so it seems as though keeping it became a point of pride.
9. He started acting in 2009.
He became part of the 2000s generation that has been slowly but surely rising in an attempt to take over Hollywood in their own way. So far it seems to be more of an integrative process than an actual takeover and it’s a lot more peaceful.
8. He’s very shy when it comes to his personal life.
Honestly it’s hard to blame the guy at all since a person’s life and what goes on beyond the screen isn’t really anyone else’s business unless they decide it is. Hollywood loves to tell just about any story they can about anyone when it concerns what goes on in their life, and the wisest among them don’t give out that much information.
7. He was a stage performer at one point.
So many actors have gone this route that it really seems like it might be the preferred way to get into acting. Honestly no one could blame them since acting on stage is a much better way to learn how to control your nervousness than anything ever could be.
6. His net worth is around $17 million.
To think one person is worth this much shouldn’t be much of a surprise any longer since the net worth of some individuals is far greater than even this. As an actor though he’s been gaining in influence and fame for some time so it’s easy to see how this number came to be.
5. He’s still single.
Despite all that’s been seen and heard about in the news and in gossip magazines and the like Pico is still single and his sexual orientation is really no one else’s business until he says otherwise. This is kind of the more disturbing and disgusting side of journalism when you read about whether a person is or isn’t this or that.
4. He’s not a big fan of social media.
Pico stays well away from social media for the same reason that he doesn’t share that much about himself in the first place, it’s way too misleading and it gives people the impression that they have some sort of claim on you that just doesn’t exist.
3. He’s played a lot of romantic scenes throughout his career.
A lot of people have been getting hot and bothered by his romantic scenes throughout his career and have been making guesses based on this when it comes to the idea of whether he’s straight, gay, single, or married. A lot of them go by what it looks like on screen, which is perhaps one of the worst ways to gauge a person. Why? Because they’re ACTING.
2. People did think that he and Reese Witherspoon were an item.
On screen chemistry does manage to fool a lot of people into thinking that people are in fact together when in reality they’re performing a job that requires them to act as though they are a part of one another’s lives in a very intimate way. Forgive the weary sigh (sigh), but people that can’t seem to separate reality from the movies has become something of an annoyance not only to writers but to actors as well over the years.
1. He’s pretty upbeat.
Most of the time he doesn’t have a single bad word to say about anyone that he works with, lauding them for one reason or another as he’s gone on to state just what he likes about them and why they were so compatible in a film or when they met. That’s pretty refreshing really.
Honestly Pico is kind of a welcome breath of fresh air in Hollywood despite having been there for a while.
