What a wonderful interview! Brilliant. He obviously had a great time. Thanks so much. Can't wait for the rest. Don't suppose there's a chance for a blooper reel vid? :D
Thanks RACentral! So glad you liked it and YES, there will be an outtakes reel!! :-)

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Do you have ANY idea how many views that will get????!!! You maybe better warn UA-cam. It'd be only fair.
I saw Richard Armitage years ago in North & South and thought that he is a real talented and unique actor and that he should be much more known and appreciated, now that time has come and it looks like he is keeping it real and down to earth, good man and great actor.
Oh....so lucky to get kissed by Richard!!
This guy would make an incredible 007.
The best interview !!! Richard being himself. Loved it
This is probably my favourite Richard Armitage interview! He's usually so shy but you really got him to open up and have a fun time great job :)
Best part of the interview was Richard being surprised that he topped Tom in this poll...as I love both actors I thought that was a really sweet moment.
Richard's best interview.
that kiss is killing me.. WHY NOT ME ON HER PLACE
How utterly adorable he is, I loved him in "Robin" but have not seen a full interview before. I had no idea how urbane and relaxed he is. Looking forward to the Hobbit part 3 in the autumn/winter.
Thank you! Thank you for allowing us to appreciate and enjoy this Richard, so cute and charming: from Italy our heartfelt thanks!
Richard Armitage, you sweet, funny, adorable man! Thank you Anglophile Channel for this wonderful Part 1 of the interview. Just wonderful - but we need more new questions. Can't wait for the rest!!! Has made my Sunday, and I'm up at 3:00am.(Richard, stay away from Twitter, just stay far away!)
Armitage Alert! Part 2 of The Richard Armitage interview to be released tomorrow, Wednesday March 5th, at 12Noon Pacific/3pm Eastern (8PM UK!) Thank you SO MUCH for your brilliantly supportive comments. It truly means a lot to us. It's nice to know that you ALL realize that the team who produce, film and edit these shows, interview these artists and read your comments...are people too. People who are just trying to do the best job they can in bringing you entertaining content we think you will all like. It's so rewarding to produce shows for such an appreciative, positive audience...such as yourselves. Thanks again! Cheers, Marlise Boland, Creator/Producer The Anglophile Channel
We very much appreciate all your hard work and dedication just to bring us what we want......and I so enjoy your 'tea breaks' on facebook.....not that I'll ever get to have tea at any of them but seeing those lovely spreads is quite entertaining. And I bet you'll have no difficulty in booking future interviews with our beloved RA! ;)
Thanks Diane! I'm so glad you're a part of our FB page as well! Cheers, M
Okay, was it just me or did Richard make a little naughty joke about rolling R's/ arse?? Loved that he was so relaxed and playful! Thanks for sharing this!
Well, drunk voting Richard Armitage on Christmas day isn't a bad way to spend the holiday.... XD
Great great first part!!! Richard is just so humble. Can't wait to see the next parts!!!
I wouldn't be so in love with him if he wasn't so funloving. He's so impossibly stately and commanding by his presence alone while being hilariously crazy and enthusiastic with everything. I wanna spend hours talking to him about the Hobbit and then give him a huge hug (which would be extremely funny since I'm about half his height).
You're terrible Richard. Terrible. I hate you. Why are you such a perfect human being? It's not fair at all. (Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah)
I was disappointed by the teaser. But now I can see that he is as charming, intelligent, polite and wonderful like he allways was. I can't wait for part 2!
Marlise..Did you not hear the "Roll your arse" comment by Richard? lol!!!!!!
LOL omgosh that smooch came outa nowhere! Love how richard can go from polite talking gentleman to deadly lady killer in seconds ;D
My spy's tell me it will be tomorrow! Stay tuned! And let me take a moment to thank the 99% people making really positive comments here. This been a lot of work, but a labor of love and seeing that it is making 'most' people happy means the world to us! Like I said, RA has some wonderful fans! This is a week I will never forget. Let's keep it going!
I have a friend who works for a company called Candid Casting and Richard Armitage is the front runner to take over as James Bond after Daniel Craig in 2018. Craig has two more Bond films to make (back to back released 2016 and 2017) but so far as I know he is top of the list to date, but that may change depending on scheduling over the next 3 years.
Jay Smith We've been telling Richard that since we met him...he should play Bond! That would make his fandom go through the roof, but more importantly, as a producer, I believe he'd be a classic James Bond. Lets hope it happens. Thanks for the intel.
so glad i stayed up till midnight for this...
"how much would you pay to see this man in a wet shirt?"
all the money in the world. all of it.
I've loved this man since 2006! Love Guy, Thornton, Lucas, Porter, Standring and Thorin!
What a lovely, relaxed interview! It's like you're just chatting with a friend. So refreshing to hear his answers to new questions. Looking forward to the rest!
OMG!!! So fantastic!!! Marlise..you are beautiful and fabulous!!! And of course Richard is simply amazing!!! Great job!!! Looking forward to Part two!

I love the chemistry between Marlise and Richard in this, you can tell he's really enjoying it. Love this interview!
+Amy Thompson Thank you Amy! We really enjoyed our chat which is what led to our 2nd sit-down during the Hobbit! Hope you watched that one too. "Armitage iChat" Thanks for watching!
What an amazing actor (and man). Love seeing him so laid back and relaxed. Would give anything to meet him someday :)
His voice is so relaxing ......
Part Two: Time and Date to be announced soon! :-)
I'm scared...what if he actually gets a Twitter?!?! haha! I ADORE the interview!
I never remember to check my Twitter account. But if RA starts tweeting, I'll *live* there! Heh... but srsly!
Great interview!! We can see that you both were very comfortable! Keep up the great work!!
Haaaayyy part-Latinas represent! This was hilarious and I can't wait for the rest. Richard Armitage, professional goof.
Great interview!!! Really really great!
Omg im melting😍😍😍😍
Thanks! Love him so much:)))))
His response to the question about work on The Hobbit being over....LOL! RA on twitter...WOW!
Yay! Almost we can ser Richard!
I can’t stop laughing😂 he’s so lovely
he said it will happen to thorin as in the book.. can't wait to see thorin's scenes it will be the best with alot of tears..so get ready
Richard! Du bist der Beste!
I feel in love with guy when I was around 7 or 8, I genuinely thought he was the best character in Robin Hood! I used to play Robin Hood at break time in primary school and I would always demand to be Guy, my mum found it a little odd that an 8 year old girl wanted to be a moody, leather clad man who was generally seen as a bit bad! I when Robin Hood finished I didn't see Richard for a long time, spooks and mi-5 being a little out of my age range, but when I was 5 I read the hobbit and it has been my favourite book now for 11 years! So when I found out that Richard was playing Thorin, a character who I'd continuously weep over, I was sooo excited! I also have just seen North and South, which was amazing! And the crucible is one of my favourite plays and the production that Richard was in was the best live performance I have ever seen. And to top it all off he is a lovely, funny man, who happens to be very attractive!
Omg so did I, my primary school friends used to be confused why I fancied guy. And now I'm 15 and recently watched the hobbit I've fallen in love with him again, and literally watched every single thing with him in.
+oswin's11 Great story! Thanks for sharing Oswin. We love Richard at TAC. Hope you caught our other interviews as well! Thanks for watching! Don't forget to subscribe...we have more coming!
Well I enjoyed this immensely. Can't wait to hear what happens in part 2!
Also: How do they frenchify Armitage?
Really enjoyable so far and looking forward to more - but why am I getting the feeling you asked him the circus question???
I've been looking all over to find a place to vote for the 2014 awards. You make it so hard to find. I guess I won't be voting!
Sorry if I have two of the same comments of mine being posted anywhere. I don't mean to let that happen. I don't even know how it's doing that. I only meant to post it one time after I write it, not two or more times!!!
haha I love how she pronounced Sucrita Prasad XD I'm an Indian living in the U.S and I need to know my fellow Indians who are Armitage fans 'cause none of my friends from India have heard of him! They're missing out!
Yikes! I knew I'd get it wrong :/ How DO you pronounce it properly?
TheAnglophileChannel Oh! No no, you pronounced it perfectly! That's why I said I loved it :) I guess the "haha" made it seem I was mocking but I wasn't, you did a great job with the r-rolling and the clear pronunciation that a lot of people don't do. Yay! :)
my Thorin Pop sits on my desk at work...
Yeah, Richard, I think you put a little bit of Gisborne in Thorin!!!!
Is there have English subtitle? I'm from China but couldn't clearly enough what Richard said…and i wanna translate to Chinese, anyone can help me? Thanks…
Could you ask him if women always just fall pregnant when they see him talk? Or is it just me?
UGH I love this man. He's the perfect combination of geek, nerd, sex and adorable-ness. He's hilarious. He gives me faith in the male species on a whole. And seriously, I'd cash in my life savings and sell my first born child to get him in a wet shirt. I'm not proud of it but just sayin...
Those 3 thumbs down votes on this clip must have been from Bennedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston and David Tennant.... LOL.....ummm their fans, I mean. :)
I tried reading the book...the first one I guess..and I respect anyone who can get through it once let alone many times..not that it's not good, it is, just a lot to remember...I love books and I'm getting a master's degree..maybe its because I have no time for myself right now lol but I bought The Hobbit, but I'm still working on the second movie...I had to watch the first movie two or three times to understand it lol Much respect to others who it comes easily. Richard always seems so down to earth and humble...acting is his job not his power trip. Lovely person. :) If I only watched movies with Richard and Gerard Butler from now on...I'd never miss Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise..overrated. lol
Don't know why people think he's out of character here, before The Hobbit we all knew him as sweet, funny and blokey?
Nice to see the the weight of that part lifted, now can he do a comedy?
Richard, I wish I had your e-mail address so I could tell you how much you are loved and being prayed for all the time!!!!
I must admit I was a little disappointed by Thorin's huge age difference. They pulled it off nicely though and I think this actor was a great choice.
The newest song by Thorin...... They're Taking The Hobbits to Isenguard feat. Legolas
She got kissed and hugged by Richard?! Lucky bitch!
Sorry... still love ya, Marlise. Thank you for this interview. He's very relaxed and as always Dear-God-Help-Me GORGEOUS! If only I knew this gonna happen before, I could've design the poster myself. And to have him signed it? I'll die
FABULOUS! But if a subsequent interview doesn't include RA participating in a wet t-shirt contest - even if he's the ONLY contestant - I will feel badly used. And teased. And fatally disappointed.
Was it just me or did he present a little shyness during the interview?
:)
Oh to be in her place.....
Richard is so perfect in North and South. That is where I discovered him. I’m a big fan.
