July Question Meme: Day 7

Asked by 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.

You totally just made me fall a little bit more in love with him. Guh. I just adore him as an actor, I've yet to really immerse myself in him as a celebrity. I LOVE IT WHEN THE TALENTED ONES ARE ALSO AWESOME PEOPLE!

I've been really loving his he's been coming out of his shell in recent years, particularly when it comes to talking about important issues that deeply affect and matter to him. I know that it's not wise to blindly idolize anyone, especially actors/celebrities, but I have much admiration and respect for Richard not just as an actor, but as a human being who is trying his best at spreading some hope and happiness into the world. He is a good-natured, humble man, and I hope he remains this way. ♥ ♥ ♥
