CONNOR BEING FILMED RIDING BUCEPHALUS
"Also trained by Cruz Moral was 13-year-old Connor Paolo, who was cast by Stone to play young Alexander. Paolo had to
master the skills required to effectively portray Alexander's fateful first meeting, and subsequent taming and bonding, with
the wild stallion Bucephalas - a catalyzing moment for a young Alexander, who in achieving what several experienced horsemen
had failed to do, dramatically won his remote father's approval. Having grown up in New York City, Paolo had no prior experience
on horseback. Cruz Moral trained him every day for two months, and by the time the cameras were ready to roll, he rode like
a true Macedonian prince. "

"ALEXANDER'S HORSE WAS AN EXTENSION OF HIS SPIRIT AND HE BONDED WITH
BUCEPHALUS AS MUCH AS HE DID WITH ANY OF HIS GENERALS. IT'S IMPORTANT IN THE FILM...YOU CAN SEE THE LOVE BETWEEN ALEXANDER
AND BUCEPHALUS."
-CONNOR PAOLO, ALEXANDER SOUVENIER PROGRAM
THE TWO IMAGES ABOVE ARE SCANNED FROM THE BOOK, "THE
MAKING OF ALEXANDER."
