Asked by [livejournal.com profile] fly_meaway:

Who is your current celeb crush/are your current celeb crushes?

My current celebrity/actor crush is Richard Armitage. Ever since being introduced to him through The Hobbit movies I have basically consumed everything he's done and been following everything he's doing with his career. He is ridiculously attractive of course, that is quite obvious, but what I also love about him is how hardworking he is with the projects he's involved with. As an actor he incredibly talented and dedicated to the roles he is given, no matter how big or small, giving his all even if it's just a cameo. As a human being he is absolutely kindhearted and generous, soft-spoken and a bit reserved (he remains out of the mainstream media spotlight and values his privacy) but his personality is adorable and has shown to be quite a dork, and he is quite passionate about human rights. He supports various charities and was recently declared the ambassador for Cybersmile, an anti-cyberbullying foundation, plus he has been more open about his opinions and thoughts on particular world events, he visited refugee children while in Berlin and has recently been taking his Twitter, which previously mostly was used for posting selfies and promoting future projects, to discussing politics especially in wake of Brexit, which he is rightfully furious about.

I know I'm gushing quite a bit about him, but my love for Richard is more than the fact that he is gorgeous. I respect him as an actor and as a person, and I admire that he remains true to who he is and continues to do what he loves. And he posts the most amazing selfies, just goddamn.

I actually have plenty of celebrity crushes, some which have remained my main baes for the longest of time. I should probably make an official list someday.

North and South is such a beautiful period drama. Even though I was already attracted to him, after watching it I understood why people ended up swooning over him, like my god. Richard was absolutely perfect for the role, he has that level of depth of portraying John Thornton in all of his broody, angsty, romantic glory. He needs to play more roles like that, imho.

He was basically the only redeeming thing about BBC's Robin Hood, lol.

I was actually slightly worried because I thought they'd make him all ugly and Gimli-like and I'd feel a bit weird fancying a dwarf. How little I knew!

It's actually interesting when you look at the character from the beginning of An Unexpected Journey, he looked quite different than how he appears in the rest of the movies. They basically made him more attractive than the original character design they set for him. It's like they knew. ;)

Have you ever checked out any of the audio books he does? The man could read the phone book and make it sexy...

Oh, yes. I have some downloaded from Audible.com and he is absolutely amazing with the way he narrates. The variation of the voices he uses, the richness of his voice. It is perfection. I'm also in agreement that he could read anything and I would be all, yessss pls.
