AIDAN TURNER!

A I D A N    T U R N E R

Now I don't just adore Aidan because of his looks. I find him hilarious! He is also an amazing actor! 

I first 'discovered' if you like who he was from The Hobbit which is one of my favorite films, it also has Martin Freeman, who I've also wrote a post about. The first of three of The Hobbit films was released in 2012, and I loved it. I loved the Lord of the Rings but I liked these a little better. I love his character, well Fili and Kili. I think the actors really complimented each other really well and i loved the little jokes they would do to try and annoy Bilbo (which always worked). 
This scene is still one of my favorites of the film as we are introduced to the nephews of Thorin Oakensheild (Played by Richard Armitage), Fili (Dean O'Gorman) and Kili (Aidan Turner). Already you can tell they are a little mischievous but also that they like to look out for each other.

Before we go any further I think I should provide you with a little more informs about him if you don't know already…
Aidan Turner looking serious but as hot as ever!
Name: Aidan Turner
Born:  June 19, 1983 in Dublin, Ireland
Films Most Known For:  
  • The Hobbit (all three films)
  • The Mortal Instruments City Of Bones
  • Poldark
Upcoming Films / TV Shows:
  • The Secret Scripture
  • Loving Vincent
  • Look Away

I feel like we should / need to talk about Aidan in Being Human I mean him as a vampire was awesome. I loved how his character, Mitchel and Russel Tovey's character, George bounce off each other and the 'banter' they had. That was even better, I watched it again the other week and completely forgot how it made me laugh. I also realise I say a line from the show that George says in one of the first episodes which is "is everyone taking stupid pills". Even thinking about it or writing about it makes me laugh. 

I also believe we MUST talk about his accent. I mean…wow. I'm always surprised when i do hear his accent. I think its because he never really keeps it in movies and TV shows.

Heres a little (ish) video of him being adorable and funny:
Try watching this and not smile or laugh!
Did you smile and laugh? I bet you did...
Isn't he just so adorable and precious!!
Look at his little smile <3
This has to be my favorite gif ever!!! I laughed way too hard at this to I had to put it in for you viewing pleasure.

Today as I was finishing this post I Googled him to find the pictures and he has just finished a weeks filming Poldark. Not only that but some people had met him on a train form Bristol to Bath...
Now if it was me who was sat next to Aidan I would be on the phone to my friend straight away and then taking pictures every five seconds! I mean not in a creepy way but just to make sure he was actually there and I wasn't going crazy and seeing things.
Seriously though could you imagine a whole train ride with one of your favorite actors I mean I think I would faint (In the hope he would catch me obviously...). 
This is the picture from the train look how cute he looks <3 <3

I am going to leave you with this adorable picture of the wonderful Aidan Turner!

Thanks for reading! See you soon

Benedict Cumberbatch Appreciation Post!

This Post is an appreciation of Benedict Cumberbatch's Greatness

About Benedict:
Born: July 19th 1976
Height: 1.83m
Films and TV shows:
Sherlock(since 2010) he plays Sherlock Holmes
The Imitation Game(2014) he played Alan Turning
The Hobbit(2011-2012) he played Smaug and The Necromancer
War Horse(2011) he played Major Jamie Stuart
Star Trek Into Darkness(2013) he played Khan
12 Years of Slave(2013) he played Ford

Just like Martin Freeman he has been it loads more films and TV shows, if you would like more information on Benedict here's his IMDb page:
http://m.imdb.com/name/nm1212722/
Here's 10 Facts about Benedict:

I can't really remember the first time I started to like Benedict, but I would imagine my love began when I began to watch Sherlock. I loved how he portrayed him, I loved the humor he had. As you can probably tell I like people with a sense of humor and a bit of sarcasm thrown in. So I'll treat you to some of the best insults and funny moments of Sherlock Holmes:


Lets face it we all love a bad guy from time to time and Benedict certainly filled that spot in Star Trek Into Darkness. That is defiantly when my love for him grown even more than it was before.
Benedict as Khan
Benedict as an otter
Lets face it he was pretty bad ass... but not enough to not get frozen in the end...


One of my favorite interviews with Benedict was on the graham Norton show and he was on the sofa with Johnny Depp (who i also adore). As many actors/actresses have been compared to animals, Benedict has also been compared to a otter. The could almost be twins... may be not...
Anyway 4 photos weren't enough for us Cumberbitches (I know he doesn't like us calling ourselves that but lets face it, its our names now. Its in our blood) so some people tweeted in the Graham Norton show, as they knew he would be on it, lets see what ended up happening...
I'm not sure if I'm more jealous of Johnny or Benedict in this photo

Lets not talk about him attacking the teddy at the end of the clip... I often wonder if he is the age he says he is.

Carry on loving Benedict Cumberbatch!!! :)

See you soon

Martin Freeman Appreciation Post

This is a Martin Freeman appreciation post because he is truly amazing!


About Martin:
Born: September 8th 1971
Height: 1.69m
Films and TV shows:
The Office(2001-2003) he played Tim Canterbury
Sherlock(since 2010) he plays John Watson
The Hobbit(2012-2014) he played Bilbo Baggins 
Love Actually(2003) he played John 
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy(2005) he played Arthur Dent

There are so many more films he has been in that I can't name them all but if you are curious or bored and would like to see his IMDb 
Incase you don't want to load the page or can't here's a little video of 10 Thing You Didn't Know About Martin Freeman and to be fair I didn't know some of them :)

I first discovered how amazing he was when I started to watch Sherlock and yes I know he has been in things earlier that that and i feel very annoyed at myself...
Anyway…
I liked his character John Watson it was how he was sort of sarcastic and funny, then The Hobbit was born and Martin Freeman was in that. I wanted to see it anyway because I love The Lord Of The Rings. In The Hobbit Martin played a Bilbo Baggins and they way he portrayed the character was magnificent and he also put some of the similar aspects that I liked about John in Bilbo.  

One thing I love watching are funny moments of actors/actresses so to treat you all here's a short funny moments video of Martin Freeman…



Martin is now widely know for being Bilbo Baggins however his is one sneaky hobbit. The reason being over the years when Martin was on set of The Hobbit  Martin would always stick up that middle finger of his at the camera... Here's a quick video of his middle finger action >>>>>>






Not only did his middle finger/fingers make an appearance behind the scenes but one fan managed to spot him doing it in the film!


MARTIN FREEMAN YOU ARE A SNEAKY LITTLE HOBBIT!

Not to mention how much he swears but we won't go into that...



See you soon...
