It's people like Richard Armitage and Tom Hiddleston that just make me smile. Sure they're plenty attractive, but they're just so sweet and smart and dedicated to their roles. I mean, these guys literally do research on their characters and character backgrounds before they really tackle the character. And even after that, they're always considering how to make the character as realistic as possible. At the same time they're so polite and intelligent. These are the kind of people I want to be like and I'm not sure how I'm could ever achieve that.
It’s amazing how I develop a crush on Richard everytime I watch him in something, not realising it’s him. 😆 Starting from when he was in the Vicar of Dibley.
After viewing this interview you realize how good an actor he is because his personality is nothing like Thorin's. He is very soft-spoken and thoughtful! Interesting interview!
Yes, I LOOOOVED the Misty Mountains song! It indeed is one of the most beautiful poems by Tolkien and I'm glad Richard sang it! His voice just added a whole new level to that incredible piece!
"Doesn't interview well"? Have you even WATCHED Richard Armitage in interviews? He always has very interesting things to say, he articulates these things extremely well, he presents himself well on camera, he is humble and not arrogant, he injects subtle humour into some of his answers and he is very knowledgeable about the subjects he is being asked about. I don't understand how you can think that someone like this 'doesn't interview well'.
I've watched MANY interviews of this man and have never seen him so light-hearted and funny - the 'mime' bit is great. Best interview I've seen since the two "60 seconds with.." of both he and Martin together.
Grow beard long hair and get buff, you look so great handsome king, and the voice is so right and the reason I watch becouse of you richard and orlando, god bless you both..
I don't believe Richard could ever be accused of "self aggrandizing". To quote Martin Freeman, who said that he (Richard) was "the least arrogant person you would wish to meet...very self-deprecating...a decent person and a good human being." I think that about sums him up! I enjoyed this interview and loved the twinkle in his eyes when he says he is always right! ;) I sure hope he is feeling better by now, poor guy.
Il est tellement beau, ce n'est pas croyable. He has a way of turning his head and stare straight at you in certain part of the movie. Thorin is absolutely Gorgeous .
The interviewer should have tell him about the meme "Majestic Thorin" :( The best meme ever. And it's also more popular than the "I have never been so wrong"
as soon you take away the beard and long hair, it's like you've skinned his whole face and slapped on a new one. I could not tell for the life of me that he played thorin
Richard thinks he has kind of 'malevolent looks' but the man is so much the opposite. Just reading the often funny and always thoughtful messages he has posted for almost a decade now, to his fans(sorry, well-wishers, Richard:-) you fall all over again for this lovely man.
Agreed. People seem to want celebrities to revel in their fame and act as though they're the sh*t with a jet-setting, free-wheeling sort of lifestyle and be some sort of amalgam of comedian, badass and playboy. RA's tendency towards shyness and the geeky side is one of the reasons why I dig him as an actor. He doesn't posture, he's dedicated, funny (in a low-key way), and doesn't seem want the spotlight, but rather his craft to be appreciated and to do good work. Nice guy, great actor, IMHO.
I have you guys to tell you a story. Well, I love the Hobbit and Lotr, but also... ehem... BBC classics. Like you know, when they make like Bronte or Austen books into movies. And so, one day I watched 'North and South', a really kitschy love story, and guess who played the guy? Richard Armitage. And my mother was like, hell yes, he is it, and I was like 'Hell no, that can't be!' But he was. All I can say now- Mr Armitage, please keep your long hair and beard, you look so badass, and I could have recognized you better in North and South (I know it's an earlier movie, but we want to look on it it in a metaphorical way)
i came here to listen to his voice and oh my god he has the most beautiful, soft, deep voice 😍 as Thorin his voice is more rough tho, I love this difference
Having read the books I was not that keen on the hobbit, yet was fascinated by the Thorin Oakenshield character. Now I know he was the ex-Sppoks actor.
His voice in castlevania is just mesmerizing!!!i wonder if he sings..I'd buy his music in a heartbeat..just like GOT..I have to wait for the next episode this coming 2018...berserker is also up till 2018..what is the deal?why ?why?
***** Thanks! That beard, that deep voice, those EPIC battle scenes, and those penetrating eyes.... you know how it is, it's too much! Thanks dear, have a nice day. =)
Why do actors nowadays so easily discard the appearance of the hero they incarnate? He would look extremely cool and masculine if he had some beard like Thorin, now he just looks one of the same...
As a professional actor he has to conform somewhat if he wants to be considered seriously. He actually talks about the topic in an interview, although it was on the subject of being able to keep the long hair.
I think he's said he doesn't roam the web checking out fanvids...all the gods help him, if he was just putting on a brave face, and really does. Even I (and I consider myself pretty jaded, as I work for law enforcement) have witnessed a few things which fall into the category of 'What Has Been Seen Cannot Be Unseen".
That's a bad idea. He'd probably die, knowing how G.R.R. Martin does things. I don't think I can take another death, I'm still recovering from Sean Bean's.
Why is his voice so perfect?!
He kicked ass as Thorin, particularly in the last movie. Rarely has such a short character had such a huge presence on screen.
The actor is 1,88m

THANK YOU YES
From the moment I laid eyes on Thorin Oakensheild, I thought he was the sexiest thing since Legolas :)
i think that about kili
Aaaaaaaagreeeeeee
It’s amazing how I develop a crush on Richard everytime I watch him in something, not realising it’s him. 😆 Starting from when he was in the Vicar of Dibley.
"I don't really know what a meme is, it is like this?" OMGGGG CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!!! *-*
He is very well-spoken, which is something to admire. It is hard to find an actor or any celebrity who talks so intelligently.
After viewing this interview you realize how good an actor he is because his personality is nothing like Thorin's. He is very soft-spoken and thoughtful! Interesting interview!
Thank you Mr. Peter that you chose richard to be Thorin, you are keen eyes.
i agree! "you have keen eyes Master Baggins" -Thorin Oakenshield DOS
thats sir peewee jackson
Richard is my Arkenstone ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
He should hold onto the beard 24/7/365.
Yes, I LOOOOVED the Misty Mountains song! It indeed is one of the most beautiful poems by Tolkien and I'm glad Richard sang it! His voice just added a whole new level to that incredible piece!
Richard Armitage has a strong personality! He is a great actor and a very intelligent one!
his voice is soo deep
long live thorin,son of thrain
the king under the mountain

What an inspirational character, Thorin, son of Thrain, son of Thror...
I've watched MANY interviews of this man and have never seen him so light-hearted and funny - the 'mime' bit is great. Best interview I've seen since the two "60 seconds with.." of both he and Martin together.
He totally owned the role of Thorin Oakenshield!!!
omg that voice...😍
him asking what a meme is is just a blessing i
Every time I see him, I am baffled by how hot he is. Makes me week in the knees.
THANK GOD IT'S NOT ONLY ME
and me and I am a straight man .
Right!
Green Phoenix same my friend same
Grow beard long hair and get buff, you look so great handsome king, and the voice is so right and the reason I watch becouse of you richard and orlando, god bless you both..
His voice, the physique, the stubble...oh god can he get any more perfect?! can he?!
Richard Armitage makes me proud to be British.
LOVE him on BBC's miniseries North & South!
Crying because as precious cupcake as he is, Thorin was smokin' and he's just...nice.
sdjksfd ikr!! the total contrast ugh

Il est tellement beau, ce n'est pas croyable.
He has a way of turning his head and stare straight at you in certain part of the movie. Thorin is absolutely Gorgeous .
Holy **** that voice!! It makes me melt every time! That plus the way he looked in the movie (the hobbit) just does me in! :-D
waaah I love Richard Armitage and Martin Freeman!!!! And Aidan Turner!!! And Ian Holm :-)
Ian Mckellen is a favorite for me! ^^ Along with the ones you metioned.
*Those eyes, that voice*
I think I'm inlove with this man
Ugh. he's damn hot!! he was my fave character in the movie😍❤
Same girl same
+Greaser Girl yay! there's somethin with his eyes and voice!😍❤ he's killin it!😭💛
Watch the BBC adaptation of the novel North and South; his portrayal of John Thornton made me forget Fitzwilliam Darcy.
Stupid fun girls
Oh my goodness he’s so precious,,,
"I'm - I'm never wrong."
Yeah, sure Richard... 😂😍❤
ahhhh he's such a precious giant
The interviewer should have tell him about the meme "Majestic Thorin" :(
The best meme ever. And it's also more popular than the "I have never been so wrong"
YOUR VOICE. OH MY GOD. IT IS WONDERFUL.
I still haven't seen this yet. Too much homework.
oh gosh he's so damn hot 😍 his voice, his accent 😍 he's perfect ❤️
I know right, he so damn hot 😍😍😘😘
He said "I'm never wrong" like a boss!!! omg
as soon you take away the beard and long hair, it's like you've skinned his whole face and slapped on a new one. I could not tell for the life of me that he played thorin
AL C yess so true media.giphy.com/media/14urMYvFxIKEms/giphy.gif
AL C same here.
So true!
I just watched North and South and fell in love with this man without knowing I had seen him already as a dwarf! lol, happy surprise
LUCKY MAN ! He's always right! Absolutly love his sense of humor !
What a perfect voice. I already imagine myself waking up to that voice whispering in my ear. Aash what a delight. 🍁✊🤤
Love Richard!
his voice. -omg- love it.
Oh, god! He's voice! So deep... O_O
Richard thinks he has kind of 'malevolent looks' but the man is so much the opposite. Just reading the often funny and always thoughtful messages he has posted for almost a decade now, to his fans(sorry, well-wishers, Richard:-) you fall all over again for this lovely man.
Lot of pressure to play this part. He did it well. 6'2? Holy. Lol. Nice man. Great upload.
Love thorin so fit!

oh my god he is so adorable! ♥
Love him as Thorin ! Loved Him as Guy of Grisborne too. He is seductive,with intensely sexy eyes and a voice that makes you melt.
I remember when he used to play Guy of Gisburn in Robin Hood.
I remember reading the book...but this made me cry at the end...
Oh be still my heart, he's definitely not too tall for me! What a cutie.
"I'm never wrong" just lovely! ^_^
NOW I LOVE HIM THE MOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Before Thorin, this badass played the legend who is guy of gisborn
And was my favourite character in the whole show! I waited for him to become one of the good guys... and he did xD
Lynn B. I agree with you. Mr. ARMITAGE ( Thorin ) also stands out among manny good looks of lotr. Men.
Richard acting very good in the hobbit.
Adorable he is!
I have you guys to tell you a story. Well, I love the Hobbit and Lotr, but also... ehem... BBC classics. Like you know, when they make like Bronte or Austen books into movies.

The first thing I saw him in was North and South. It was lovely. ^-^
Thorin is a perfect boss/king, i hope to fight next to that kind of leader.
@Richard Armitage your fan from Finland.
"I'm NEVER wrong." THAT WAS SO FOKKEN MAJESTIC ican'teven.
I sure hope he gets over this cold or whatever he seems to have. Poor guy needs some rest!
ohhhh.. I love him ♥
I am so damn excited for Beorn's house.
This is such a good interview!! Thank you tumblr (:
i came here to listen to his voice and oh my god he has the most beautiful, soft, deep voice 😍

Yeyy! Jimmy ^-^ Thats why I love Jimmy so much...cause hes so much like Bofur and well Bofur IS my favorite dwarf. ♥
Ay, por favor, cómo me gusta este hombre!!!!!
I love R.Armitage.........
I am still thirsting for him
3:17 classic Thorin face
Great acctor!
"I'm never wrong" Challenge accepted
Richard is great. Someone needs to tell the interviewer that "disorientating" is not a word. The word is disorienting.
***** I am not from the U.S. Disorientate is a word, disorientating is not.
I want this Dwarf... 😊😍😙😚
Delicious
He's voice is just so deep, so sexy...
he looks so.... clean😂😂
I love you Thorin's 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉
Oh, I can really undestand how it is to have a cold and be tired, and still have a job to do !
My heart has been shattered, he looks nothing like Thorin .... =) Still great actor, EPIC scenes in both movies!
***** No I haven't seen that at all. I wasn't even sure what that movie was about until I just googled it. You gotta a link ?
***** Thanks! That beard, that deep voice, those EPIC battle scenes, and those penetrating eyes.... you know how it is, it's too much! Thanks dear, have a nice day. =)
giant baby has a flu.
thank you for posting!
fico outro cara sem barba caraleo!!!

He never ceases to amaze me. So, he believes in Destiny. Interesting...
Maybe it's the "subtle" part that flies over a few heads?
He's so hot!
Jimmy Nesbitt omfg
Richard Armitage as Batman!!! Warner Brothers PLEASSSSSEEEE!!!
Oh my fucking GOD. Thank you, Tumblr. Thank you for showing me this.
I think he's said he doesn't roam the web checking out fanvids...all the gods help him, if he was just putting on a brave face, and really does. Even I (and I consider myself pretty jaded, as I work for law enforcement) have witnessed a few things which fall into the category of 'What Has Been Seen Cannot Be Unseen".
You Best characet fılm battel kıng thorın Yeah 😍😍😍😘❤️
Sounds like he has a wee bit of a cold
That's a bad idea. He'd probably die, knowing how G.R.R. Martin does things. I don't think I can take another death, I'm still recovering from Sean Bean's.
