“Hawaii Five-0” actor Alex O’Loughlin snaps a selfie with fans this evening at the Sunset on the Beach premiere in Waikiki.
Hundreds of “Hawaii Five-0” and “Magnum P.I.,” fans gathered in Waikiki on Thursday for a Sunset on the Beach screening at Queen’s Surf Beach.
“Hawaii Five-0” is currently in its 10th season of filming in Hawaii, while “Magnum P.I.” is now in its second season.
Actress Katrina Law, who recently joined the cast of “Hawaii Five-0,” attended her first Sunset on the Beach premiere Thursday night.
“I just got sand in my Jimmy Choos and I think that’s really kind of cool,” she said.
Actor Alex O’Loughlin snapped selfies with fans this evening before making his way down the red carpet to talk to reporters.
“The first year of the show is just a very difficult feat and then the second year of the show is kind of marginally easier, but not really,” O’Loughlin said. “Ten years is a long time.”
Meanwhile, Jay Hernandez said he enjoys playing his version of Thomas Magnum on the reboot of “Magnum P.I.”
“As time goes by, there’s a generation of kids and viewers that for the first time are seeing ‘Magnum P.I.’ — I am the only thing they associated with that and they don’t associate Tom Selleck with that,” Hernandez said. “For myself, I feel like I am defining it for a new generation and that’s exciting.”
