Photos of 'Pushing Daises'

Lee Pace is a Monte Carlo Man

Pushing Daisies star Lee Pace attends a photocall for his hit ABC series on the third day of the 2008 Monte Carlo Television Festival held at Grimaldi Forum on Tuesday in Monaco, Principality of Monaco.

Lee, 29, discussed how Pushing Daises has absolutely turned his life upside down: “I have been working for a while, but there’s something about being on a television show that does change your life. You get recognized in airports. You will be sitting at dinner, and there’ll be people across from you who are watching you eat and very obviously thinking about how they are going to tell their friends about spotting Ned. That’s really weird. It’s really weird. I can get really reclusive and just want to stay at home with my dog.”

When asked by E! if there a moral lesson we’re supposed to take from a show where the lovers (Ned and Chuck) don’t sleep together, Lee said, “That wasn’t the intention. Some people in America have interpreted it like that, and I don’t think it’s a bad thing. These are two people who love each other very much and choose to be together even though they’re never going to get drunk and sleep together. It’s not that show. I think it’s kind of sexy that they can’t touch. It’s the longest foreplay ever.” Ha ha.

‘Pushing Daises’ Blooms into Full Season

Lee Pace has the magic touch!

Pushing Daisies has been picked up for a full season, according to The Pie Maker.

ABC’s fanciful new drama is going full pollen ahead!

“Actually, there’s something about the not-touching that’s kind of hot,” Pace recently told the Associated Press. “Ned and Chuck are turned on by wishing they could touch. When they cross each other in a doorway, they share that moment of, `I wish I could kiss you, I wish I could run to bed with you — but I can’t.’ But there’s still something sexy about it, you know?”
