Wentworth Miller Cruises Along

Back to back Wentworth Miller posts! Belated Christmas gift?

Wentworth Miller was the guest of honor earlier today (late afternoon) aboard the luxury vessel, the AQA at a Sydney Harbor Cruise in Australia. This was in celebration of Foxtel’s new television deal with Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution. Pictured with Went below: Aussie actor Joel Edgerton and former Wheel of Fortune host Sophie Falkiner.

For you Prison Break fans out there, mark your calendars! There will be a PB recap episode on Jan. 8, which will also include a preview of the remaining nine episodes and interviews with cast members Wentworth Miller, Dominic Purcell, Sarah Wayne Callies, William Fichtner, Wade Williams, Paul Adelstein, Robert Knepper and Silas Weir Mitchell. PB is also returning on Jan. 22, not Jan. 29.

One really great must-read fan encounter story after the jump!

UPDATE :: You can now download Wentworth Miller’s radio interview Aussie radio station Nova 96.9 from earlier today! Went chats with host Zoe about everything from his PB tattoos (yawn), his favorite book (we already knew that), Giorgio Armani styling him for events, and his biggest fan — a pre-pubescent 11-year-old boy.

fickwalker’s fan encounter with Wentworth Miller:

We saw Went as he was boarding the boat for the Fox cruise. At the time that boxergirl, and a dear friend of mine named Mary, were getting pictures with him, I declined the offer, saying he was already late and I didn’t want to hold him up any longer. While the photogs were taking their pictures, his PA (I think her name is Pam? I’ve seen her in the pictures from Cannes) came up to me and slipped a little plastic baggie into my hand. I thanked her and didn’t think much of it. When I looked at what was in the baggie, it was a set of Prison Break thumbcuffs! :-)

Once the boat had left for the cruise, we had a short dalliance to my house where we chatted and squeed, boxergirl headed home and Mary, myself and another friend made our way back to where the boat has departed from. Lucky for us, about fifteen minutes after we arrived, the boat returned.

As the boat pulled in to dock, Mary began waving. When I hissed at her not to ‘make a scene’ she replied ‘but he waved first’. :-) So we sat back and waited for him to get back onto dry land, but not before he’d shaken hands with every single crew member on the boat and thanked them for the cruise. Once he got onto the dock, he came straight for us. While I tried ever so hard to keep my composure and smiled up at him, he said “we have a present for you, but you have to have somewhere to stash it… “, then he revelead a bottle of Moet & Chandon under his jacket, which he handed to me. He dropped the bottle into the bag I was carrying and said “Enjoy!” (note: we demolished it the second we got home.).

I then asked if it would be alright to take the picture I declined earlier in the day and Pam (I think that’s her name) was all - jokingly - “Oh, so *now* you want the picture!”. There was some joking back and forth before I managed to finally get my picture with Went. My very smart best friend pretended the camera wasn’t working so she could snap some extra pictures. :-)

We took a moment to ask if he would be in Sydney for New Years and he replied “Sadly, no. I’ll be back in LA”. So we wished him a happy new year, thanked him for his time and wished him well for the rest of his stay. Then I floated home on a cloud. What an unbelievable day. :-)

Prison Break thumbcuffs!! I want a pair for myself!!
