  • Why haven't I heard of him before?

  • I've only ever read the book of The Hobbit, but it looks like it could be a great movie. Richard Armitage, Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman...(I'm also a massive Sherlock fan.)

  • God seriously gave with both hands when he created this amazing man. I love seeing him laugh, because we don't get to see it very often in his roles. He's so adorable. 

  • I could listen him again and again: so intelligent, so beautiful and so modest... And his velvety voice... I can't wait to see him as Thorin!

  • I love the bit about the action figure. I love his smirk at 3:35 at the end of that answer! i watched it 100 times and still can't get enough of it, LOL

  • How can anyone be this perfect? There has to be at least one thing wrong with him...right??

  • gorgeous. That's all.

  • I watched North & South and my, he sure is hot as Mr. John Thorton...;) I never get tired of looking at him. His voice is sexy! lol

  • He's kind of like...the British Hugh Jackman...and that's not a bad thing! ;D

  • The man knows his Shakespeare! Here in America, most actors don't even know what Shakespeare is. Yet we are the money-makers in drama. Unfair world.

  • I'd really like to see Guy of Gisborne find someone who he TRUELY loves without being obsessed, whether that be a girl, or a mate who he becomes totally loyal to and respects as a good friend

  • RA...............next James Bond

  • OMG!!!, RA is sooo hot,........He's such a sweetie in this interview LOL

  • He is so lovely in this interview ... I have watched it so many times.

  • love this interview...so sweet, love his laugh

  • He is simply adorable in this interview :)

  • @themojkot I love how shy he gets and he seems quite humble

  • When he laughs.... I can't say it. I just need a shower.

  • They picked some very good questions!

  • I'm so going to buy that action figure, lol.

  • I don't know who "Miss Katherine" and "Dreamer" are but I'm so effing jealous of you because he said your user names.  LOL.

  • This is a very funny interview. He looks like he is suppressing a smile / laugh throughout it. :) He is so delicious.

  • I'm licking and kissing my screen!!! What a gorgeous man!

  • Trying to marry one of the royals? Hilariously bizarre. I like how he tries to answer the black question seriously, then looks down at his shirt and laughs. He has such an adorable laugh.

  • his chosen profession would be James Hewit! Lolz!

  • This is a great interview. Can't wait to see his interviews for The Hobbit someday. Richard Armitage is so thoughtful in his answers and his laugh is a delight!

  • Why does the interviewer have to explain what an action figure is? I think it's safe to assume RA knows what they are. LOL!

  • The new Thorin Oakenshield!!!

  • @riva0047 YES!!!!!!!!!!! Very excited!!!

  • @HeathDances

    YAYAYAYAYAY!!! he will be an EPIC addition to the LOTR cast.

  • my God, why is he so perfect? so adorable!

  • 5:26

  • I love the question about Guy's chosen profession and what he'd be doing today -- and RA's answer is absolutely brilliant LOL !!

  • I love the question about Guy's chosen profession and who he'd be today -- and RA's answer is absolutely brilliant LOL !!

  • This is the best view of Richard I have seen. You get a true sense of his personality. Totally likable.

  • "nude" is your color Richard ;) 

  • God, his voice is like warm chocolate... sweet, comforting, and incredibly satisfying!

  • hehe i love him

  • He is charming, dashing, sweet, flawless on screen.. and unlike other actors with those qualities on screen.. He is the same in real life, which makes him even more amazing!

    He stands as one of those rare brilliant actors who still have their heads firm on their shoulders and much above the waters.. with dignity, class, and a bit of humor..

  • I seem to always end up choosing black too.. black is the best color Richard.. and it suits you well.. ;)

  • that made me LOL

  • AWW his cute little attempts at jokes :)

  • @ubercarrots *Attempts* at jokes, that's both harsh and true. They aren't really that funny but I still love his slight discomfort when trying to make us laugh!

  • he's so sweet!

    love him!!

  • Who's James Heward (soory if I spell it wrong) ?

  • @wannette09 James Hewitt had an affair with Princess Diana

  • Why couldn't he be the new Doctor??? WHY WHY WHY???

  • @malcommerriweather that would b awesomeee!!

    but i think jonas armstrong would b better :)

  • @Therizah22 Jonas might be alright as far as ability but he's a little too "pretty" for my taste in Doctors.

  • Yes, I also noticed his reaction for "Dreamer"; but it looked like he had prepared himself for some romantic inquiry and then he seemed to be disappointed by such a common question!

    I might be mistaken, but when RA was responding to the question about Sir Guy's obsessive love, I had a feeling that he was talking about himself, especially after he said: "Who knows?"

  • vikihermit, i like how you think. what planet is RA from? His eyes have such a great twinkle, like he has had excellent past lives. yeah?

  • I've seen this interview more times than I can count and still I can't help giggle watching it! Richard seems to be such a lovely bloke! Who wouldn't want to meet him IRL for a chat just to see if he's just as sweet, fun and charming as he seems to be? Well, I can dream, can't I? *giggles* Richard, if you ever should read this - I wish you the very best! ;o)

  • You know what I hate? I only discovered Richard Armitage 2 weeks ago! But now I'm obssessed! What a beautiful man!

  • BTW, i've already raved to heather that this is my favorite richard interview of all and thanks to her for posting it, since bbcamerica could remove it any minute from their site (there though, the clip is a bit clearer, those blue eyes more blinding and mesmerizing....yes, well, hmmmm).

  • my fave part: the second question. the host says "this is from DREAMER". richard calls out "DREAMER?", brows shoot up, head bobbles a bit, and he gets a look of profound shyness/nervous anticipation. he seems to be thinking that a racy, romantic, or very personal question is coming; of course it doesn't, so he takes a breath and moves on. but that initial reaction to "dreamer" kills me! just too sweet...what planet is he from?

  • @vickihermit

    okay i just watched that part once again.. and you are totally right!!! *signs* that expression on his face.. hahaha..

  • I'm more of Jonas fan than a Richard fan, but I have to admit Richard seems super-sweet.... And he's got the sense of humor too. Seems like a really nice fella to me.

  • Sweet, sweet Richard, you would look good in (and out of) any color.

  • LOL!

  • HAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!

  • god, i love you, richard. the only 2 problems are that you dont know me and that you have half of the worlds female population to choose from hahahaha.

  • I know EXACTLY how you feel!

  • God i wanna jump his bones!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great actor and just all-around good guy! Love the James Hewitt comment "Is James Hewitt a chosen profession?" LOVE. IT!

  • he is so damn cute¡¡¡¡

    i think i know how a chocolate bar melting in a sunny day feels everytime i see him D:

  • what???

  • you're on crack!

  • mmmmmm (L)

  • That laugh at the first question, how can he be so goddamn cute?! It's quite unbelievable.

  • oh my god hes gawjus!

  • i love richard armitage so much he's so handsome

  • James Hewitt! Hahaha that is exactly who he'd be like....but better looking!

  • He's so dashingly handsome. haha

  • charming oh so charming

  • lol i really like him a lot. he somehow reminds me of my grandpa, their laughter, their nose and the kind of humor is very similar. well my grandpa was a handsome guy but not as handsome as richard i guess. hope he is a good man as my grandpa was.

  • the answer to that last question has me laughing so hard my dog ran out of the room in fright! lol. he's such a dork!

  • feliz cumpleaños richard, lo mejor para ti.

  • james hewitt lol lol lol

  • RA playing Lucifer...??? more bad things and seductions?

  • hm...how is it possible for an only one man to have it all????? Beauty, intelligence, sense of humor, a voice able to seduce very angel, eyes of an angel...???and besides all that he seems to be a very nice and indigenous person....How is it possible? :)

  • LOL!!! wow.... u think fondly of him!!! ALOT LOL

  • of course...otherwise- i do not especially like Englishmen. But he is an nice one. And yes, good looking :)

  • lol

  • so, he really should play Richard III. I am sure this would be his best part, haha

  • lol

  • Handsome, smart and well-spoken. He's the perfect man!

  • lol

  • Richard I like you as Guy to!!! Smooches!!

  • lol

  • This will probably sound dumb... but who is James Hewitt?

  • He is a former British household cavalry officer, was notable for being the lover of Princess Diana.

  • Lol - 'his chosen profession would be James Hewitt'... thats jokes! When he said perhpas he'd be a bit of a James Hewitt, he kinda said that a bit posh don't ya think? Tehe aww he's soo cute.

  • yes black does suit you...but you're sexy in anything...especially nothing Richard!! omg so gorgeous!! great personality too

  • There's an action figure? I'm tempted . . .

  • It would be great to see Richard on stage! I'd love to see him doing Shakespeare at the Globe theatre in London. Maybe he could do Duke Orsino in "Twelfth night" or Benedick in "Much ado about nothing". Didn't he have plans to do a new version of "Richard III"? What happened with those plans? I'd love to see him doing that!

  • Okay, now I'm just going to spend the rest of my day distracted by Richard's voice saying things like: "If music be the food of love, play on!" and "Now is the winter of our discontent." He doesn't even really have to say it and I'm all in a muddle. Toby Stephens made a wonderful Orsino, but I'd love to compare the two. Yeah, they'd have to chain me in. What is it about him that makes us all go crazy. I'm a very sane person otherwise, I promise! I know I'm not the first, but I LOVE HIS LAUGH.

  • Yeah, I know! Toby Stephens did an excellent job but Richard as Duke Orsino would be absolutely fantastic!

    Actually, Richard can play just anyone in anything - it would be great whatever! He's just such an outstanding actor! But for his sake I hope he gets to do "Richard III" since he really seems eager to do that.

  • Yes, he'd be perfect. Actually, I would love to see him do Shakespeare, but I'm a Richard III fan--and I really think Shakespear was writing for the Tudor propaganda machine. I wish someone would write a more factual play--and I'd love for him to play that part too. I wrote my senior thesis about this as an undergrad. If I could ever get into the zone, I might write it myself--and here we go with the fantasies . . . .

  • Well, I've heard that is exactly what Richard is planning. A new and more just protrait of Richard III who, according to RA (and others) wasn't at all that bad as Shakespeare made him. So Elwren, maybe RA can read your mind - or is it the other way around? ;o) Sadly though, I haven't heard a thing more mentioned about the Richard III project for a long time so I've no idea if it's going to happen or not. But I sure hope so!

  • Really?! I just knew we had a connection! (I'm just kidding). I'm so glad he wants to be more just to this man. I'm a librarian (as well as a medieval history major) and its because of Richard Plantagenet that England began to have real copyright laws, so there has to be some good in the man. I think the Duke of Buckingham or Henry VII was responsible for the princes' deaths. You never can trust the D. of Buckingham!

  • Sadly I don't know that much about english history. The only image of Richard III that springs to my mind is the comical one that appears in the first series of "The Black Adder" (one of my favorit comical tv-series by the way). But if I'm not mistaken they actually say in that series that Richard III wasn't as bad as his reputation. Let's hope that RA eventually get to do his new version of Richard III. I'd would definitely watch it!!! :oD

  • I just LOVE this interview! Richard is such a charming sweetheart! He's got the cutest laugh I ever heard and his smile is just adorable.

    I wished they would do a new interview like this with Richard every week! Or at least once a month!

  • I'm with you Nobel4pearl. He is just so cute and charming. Wouldn't it be lovely to be able to see him on stage. I love the way he sort of hesitantly defends Guy, too. He doesn't agree with everything he does, but he understands him, and I love that. I wonder if he likes playing Bad Guy or Good Guy better. He says humiliation is the hardest part to play. Wonder if he likes having a break from the Sheriff?

  • Oh YES - I'd LOVE to see him on stage! But judging from how "nutty" I am about to boy I'd probably have to be chained to my seat... I'm not sure I would be able to behave if I got to see him on stage! *LOL* :oD

    Oh yes there's an "mini Guy" action figure... with a horse, black of course (it rhymes, hihi). But he's right about the doll not looking that much like him. I'd rather have a real size "Guy doll"...*LOL*

    Oh no, me very BAD!!! I better go to redeem my self on the naughty step now...

  • I'm dead. Melting. Heart attack at his smiles. Swoon. Thud. I can't believe I'm falling head over heels over RA again!!! He's such magic! The way he thinks, smile... OMG... Man in black really...

  • LOL!! He definately does that to you... ha ha

  • Gosh, I could listen to that voice for hours! I love Richard!

  • he's voice is soooo dreamy. and he's got this deep brooding intelligence about him.....

  • If he ever gets married, the suicide rate will drastically rise. LOL jk :))

  • @PeriodDramaAddict15

    omg, i will be one of them when I'm not the lucky one he marries ;)

  • Wot a cutie...D we can watch this at work and :PP- - - all over our PCs... yummmm

  • I love his sense of humor.

  • charming

  • LOL! I loved this!!! It was written all over his face that he thought these questions were crazy and funny. Seemed like he really didn't want to be there but still a gentle, sarcastic, and funny guy! No pun intended. Oh, and sorry but who is James Hewit? I've heard his name before but can't remember who his is! lol! :D

  • I believe James Hewitt was one of Princess Diana's lovers...

  • Yeah, I read somewhere that's who he was. I think I remember him I just forgot his name! Thanks! :D

  • Ak!!!!!! Thanks for posting this!!!!! I just love when he says my name! heheh...

  • Richard Armitage is absolutely adorable in this interview!!! I find it very fascinating that he who speaks with such a deep and sexy voice laughs at such a high pitch. It's sooooo cute! Just love him to bits!

  • he should so play harry potter in the last installment. daniel radcliffe has many qualities that resemble RA, so RA would be great in portraying the end of the HP series on screen.

  • I agree. That would be great!

  • I agree as well but I have a feeling they're just going to age up the original characters but if they didn't Richard would be my one and only choice to play 19 years older Harry! Hmmm. Now who would play Ginny? lol! :)

  • how about winslet?? lol

  • Maybe so! :)

  • Oh absolutely love this interview. He is so damn adorable.

  • Keep wearing that black.

  • He is completely gorgeous.

  • Comment removed

  • Oh that voice! And his real laugh! I think Richard Armitage is so amazing! Definitely he is a lot like his Harry Kennedy character in real life. A little shy and very sweet with a great sense of humor.

  • I think he is a wonderful and impressive actor. Love to see him here in the U.S

  • He is so adorable.I love his laugh, his voice and the rest of him.

  • What I loved the most about this, is that Richard appeared to be enjoying himself through this interview. Excellent questions were given though, but it was refreshing to see a celebrity who wasn't just going through the motions of the interview. Seems like a guy you could have a lot of fun with! ;_)

  • Ahaha I love at the beginning when he looks down at his all-black outfit. :D :D :D

  • You've seen nothing till you've seen him in, North & South

    The man is Delicious!

  • After seeing him in North and South, I've been hoping to see him in more period dramas. He's definitely really good looking and a great actor. :)

  • he is so adorable. i love his laugh.

    i couldn't stop smiling while watching this.

  • he seems like a genuinely nice guy... like harry kennedy. :)

  • oh yes black suits him....:O)

    THANK YOU for posting it

  • I don't care that he often wears black. I think it suits him too and he looks cute no matter what color he wears. :)

  • His voice is greate!!! I can just listen and listen to it. It's so... enveloping... smooth... I don't know... soft :()))

  • OMG! He is so sexy, cute, and absolutely lovely in this interview! Thank you very, very, very, very, much for posting this!

  • I have always comforted myself with the thought that while he is ungodly handsome and has an unearthly charm on camera, he probably is a total ass that no one would want to be around in real life. I'd never watch an interview of him, so it was a judgment that worked well...

    dammit.

    now what?

  • lol, totally.

    well maybe he is a big jerk in real life,

    we can just pretend. ;)

  • Jeez, everyone thumbs downed me... I dont think they understood. I totally think he's awesome, I just always pretended that because he's so otherwise flawless that he must be a jerk.

    After seeing him more candidly in interviews i now have nothing to mark against him. lol.

    lighten up people.

  • I understood you and thumbs upped you :p

  • Si fueras gay Richard!!! : )) I love him!!

  • funny smart and unbelievably sexy and not even the inciest bit vain- he has a good ego.

    I LOVE HIM.

    xx

  • He seems really nice! and he's smart!

  • haha he's sooooo funny!

  • Beautiful face,beautiful laugh,beautiful mind;I LOVE HIM!!

  • I must see again and again this interview;RA is gorgeous, charming, intelligent!...

  • Love his genuine laugh. :P

    Also he laughs like a small kid.

    What a cutie pie!!!

  • i love this man, he is so sexy and his accent is

    hot!!! i love British men

  • he's very hot hot hot

  • I love when he is considering the questions, he's quick and witty but he wants to respond to what the people are asking. He is a beautiful man.

  • I felt he took serioulsy every question and waated to answer them as truthfully as possible.

  • the first question and answer were so funny!

  • he is ridiculously eloquent.

    I'm jealous.

  • What a yummylicious&extremely articulate man.Love his accent.*Sigh*.

  • HA I laughed out loud at the comment about practicing his horse riding (3:28). :D Priceless.

  • Yes, he is not very beautiful but also very intelligent! And he have the sense of humour...He is realy perfect!

  • Nice interview. I notice he says "lit ul" for little, and I've noticed other Brits doing this is. Is this a regional accent? It actually seems harder to say.

  • i'm british and i say 'lit ul'. its not really a regional accent thing its just the way most of us over here say it. There can be variation in the regions but with this word its mainly the same. on the other hand americans say 'liddle' almost, so its just the contrast between the 2 countries, and he doesn't have a particular regional voice in this.

  • It is true that we say "liddle." I've always been interested in the diff. betw. Brit and American English. Sometimes I have to use subtitles because otherwise there are a few things I miss. Maybe it's the same for you with American speech.

  • Ohhh! Richard Armitage is so charming! Especially whenever he laughs in here ^^

  • Richard and Jonas.. :o Was he referring to himself as Richard? or King Richard >.> Himeself I'm thinking. :D That's cute

  • Yep, he was definitely referring to himself! It's adorable to hear him speak in 3rd person:) What intelligence that man exudes, you don't see that often with actors i think. Or maybe more the power to articulate it. Richard Rocks!

  • holy hotness. he's now on Spooks )MI5). check it out...

  • Just wonderful - thanks for this, I loved it!!

  • When he says the word "today" I just fall to pieces...

  • His chosen profession would be James Hewitt. XD I love Richard Armitage! Thanks for uploading, Heather.

  • an incredibly intelligent man and actor, an incredibly handsome man with a gorgeous smile and a perfect body -> i simply can't help being head over heals!

  • What a pleasure to my ears to listen to a British accent that I can understand :)))))

  • sorry richard but black is not THE one color, all the colors are perfect for you even orange (the golden hour)

  • I agree - I have never seen him in any color that did not suit him - whoever dresses him should be a bit more courageous in the colors he wears - I love him in blue - white - he looked great without a shirt, too. I have to say.
