On Fox News.com Ryan Kwanten talks about women, sports and scrabble.
Australian-born actor Ryan Kwanten has had his share of Australian and American ladies, but when it comes to breaking his heart it seems his native girls know how to hit the hardest.
“Australian women tend to tell it like it is – even if it’s the brutal, honest truth,” the “True Blood” told the June issue of Women’s Health magazine which hits the stands this week. “I think American women usually break it to you a little easier. There’s a softer side to them.”
But that’s not the only dating-related thoughts Kwanten dished about …
One mistake that women make in relationships “Try out the “I love you’s” after a week or two (of dating). You have to give it time before you start (saying that). I like exploring the mystery of a relationship instead of laying it all out on the table at the beginning.”
His most embarrassing dating moment:
“I arrived at this girl’s house and her dad answered the door. The guy was huge — in my head, he seemed close to seven feet tall and 300 pounds. He looked down at me and said, “Can I help you? I said, ‘Yeah, I’m here to see … ‘ and I forgot the girl’s name! I was just looking up at him thinking, Oh, God, please don’t squash me!”
On how he stays in shape:
“I’m somewhat of a masochist at heart. I like to sweat. I come from a very competitive sporting background –my dad was a world-champion surfer — so it’s always been a part of my DNA. I do a lot of soft-sand running, hiking, yoga, and boxing, and I compete in triathlons. But I don’t have a strict diet. If I want a beer, I’ll have a beer, and I’ve always been a chocoholic.”
His hidden talent:
“I’m undefeated in Scrabble. I can figure out an opponent’s strategy and mold mine to offset theirs. I play a couple times a week, and I’ll often play a game on my bed by myself against myself, which I realize sounds completely mad.”
that’s a very good picture of him. i’m really curious about his dad now, maybe older and hotter haha. and if he plays scrabble with nelsan (paleyfest reference).

I have never had a problem with Ryan, I think he’s very charming and I love his accent, hehe. And he seems very nice. I like to know the rest of that date story, lol

i like jason. he’s so stupid, but good hearted. he kind of reminds me of an ex who was super hot and super sweet, but always in trouble, very addictive personality too. i’m not attracted to jason though, but he makes me smile with all his goofy antics.

No wonder I’m fond of Ryan. I was a dedicated Scrabble player with my mum when she was alive. When I visited her, we’d have 3 or 4 games a day. He seems like a sweet guy. And he does an incredible job portraying Jason.
Back to the Scrabble … I wonder how he’d do playing against my daughter. She is aces when it comes to the game. Mum and I never won once when we played with her.

I had him pegged as more of a Twister in bed guy, rather than Scrabble. I stand corrected.

I could see him playing Twister but I bet he would enjoy a game of Booby Trap too!
