omg richard armitage.
Richard Armitage has said of his role, “The Hobbit was one of the books that got me into reading. It really fired up my imagination. That’s why I became an actor.” [1]
“I just think it’s a really amazing opportunity to take a character from a book that I was brought to as a child. My first experience on stage was in a production of The Hobbit at the Alex Theatre in Birmingham, and I played an elf. And Gollum was a papier-mache puppet with a man offstage on a microphone. It’s been in my childhood very prominently, so to come to it as an adult, a middle-aged man, and have another look at it is a brilliant opportunity.” [2]
Speaking after filming had started he said, “When you’re standing in front of Gandalf and you have to start delivering your lines, there’s a moment where you can’t quite believe it.” [1]
I heard this somewhere that i can't remember.
if anyone recognizes, please do tell…i think its from a movie or something i saw latenight while sleep deprived.
“and did I ever tell you that you’re beautiful? That I love your eyes? your smile? your tears? And that I shake whenever I see you?”
do tell, do tell.
