Richard is such a shy actor! But that is what attracts me to him as a special celebrity out of all the others!

Richard Armitage is an amazing actor!! I would love to see you on more movies!

Oh Mr Armitage, humble as always.

I know, right? That's what I kept thinking watching him in his "Hogwarts interviews." ;) He's very handsome and sooo boyishly cute at the same time, that I too want to pinch both his cheeks. Hahaha

I love this interview. I love the indepth discussions about characters much more than reporters asking the same banal questions about the costume and the HFR and how was it working with Peter Jackson blah blah.

I wouldn't say being shy precludes one from being an actor. It might be just that the acting is so fascinating to him intellectually, as he seems a very thoughtful person, that he feels a compulsion for it and he can switch off whatever persona he creates in the project. I recently got to his seasons in Mi5/Spooks...ho-ly cow. Also...word is that there's going to be a reboot of "The Crow"...I could see him taking on the sort role that Michael Wincott occupied. Dream casting, there, I know.

Fun Fact: Viggo was asked to play Aragorn in 3rd Hobbit movie and his answer to Peter Jackson was: "That isnt possible.Aragon(or Thorongil,how he was called in Gondor during that time) is not in The Hobbit". Even though i agree with him i would like to see him as Aragorn again.

Love it! You can hear he is sick and yet he is so sweet and humble. Such a great guy! I wish him all the success in the world :-)

Love it how his lips make this move while he's waiting for the interviewer to finish her question as he was about to answer.

"I don't go out!"... and then his laugh! It's too cute to handle! And to be honest... how is it possible not to fall in love with him?! ;)

He's so nice....and he looks younger in this video!! Very cheerfull guy, I love him!

realized that he still has that cold he had at Lorraine's ... i could listen to him for hours. just listening and dreaming of better days.

Exactly what I was thinking! They are both such committed and fantastic actors but so humble at the same time!

When you see a man like this, it has a tendency to set your expectations high for all other men. ;) I would like to see him do some more period dramas. Love him in that genre as well as Tolkien's works.

Agreed...one of the things that makes him so appealing. I hate all the oversized egos found on even D-list celebrities who strut around, saying, "Yeah, I know I'm the sh*t." Though, I do hope he gets more roles in bigger productions...so long as they're worthy. I'd personally like to see him get a few villainous roles...or anti-heroes, at least.

Love him!

His seasons in Spooks/MI5 are farkin' amazing...I highly recommend them.

This guy does a lot for the film, he's like the Viggo Mortensen for The Hobbit.

he's just gorgeous

OH MAJESTIC

It's really awesome that you guys post such awesome interviews, but why are they never in HD?

I finally got around to watching Strike Back, Richard was awesome in that show, played the ultimate hero. Was sad to see his character killed off in the second season. But The Hobbit explains why i guess. Only after that show did I discover he is the guy behind Thorin lol. I'm a fan now, eventually I'll get around to watching all of Spooks. I hope to see him in more stuff after The Hobbit.

Oh, and, seriously, Richard, get an early start on that beard...it is glorious.

OH Man...how cute is he when he says "I don't go out!"...lol...

There was someone (I think from fark.com) who suggested he play Dougal MacKenzie in the upcoming "Outlander" series adapted for cable...THAT'S definitely some dream casting, right there.

Damn skippy, he does. I'd wish for some great roles that would allow him to grow his hair too, as he was speaking of in the Cinemax 60 secs bit.

yeah he is! And I don't believe he doesn't get recognized!!! I don't understand why he's so shy....Can't be an actor and a shy person at the same time I think! :) Anyway...adorable

If you put photo's of him in North and South next to pictures of Daniel in The Woman in Black it is uncanny. Richard is like Daniel's slightly hotter, taller older brother with the baritone voice. It's nuts.

They'll go in NZ at the end of May, so I suppose it's beginning of April ;-)

exactly! Richard Armitage, Dean O'Gorman, and Aidan Turner are in the Hobbit because we don't have eye candy like Orlando Bloom or Viggo Mortensen!

A quick calculation my guess is the middle of May? :-/

That's what I thought too...! Haha!

1:42 that look... whant to lend him pillow xD

He is awesome, as usual. And tired. :(

when was this interview?

Haha listen his voice, he must be sick my lovely Richard :D

Did he just get back from Hogwarts? #tie #uniform

Maybe you can do his shopping.. cleaning etc.. ;-)

Richard Armitage for New Batman pl0x

Oi Richard are U out of a job until the Hobbit shoot starts? I need a tall guy to do some DIY at my place! ;-)

Oh, and I would have replied to your reply about the Mi5 stuff, but I think someone's flagging you as a spammer.... Got a stalker?

He looks alot like Daniel Radcliffe

he sounds really sick..

so the beard will be back soon.

maybe his old hotter brother lol, jk
