If this is an elaborate video then I actually think less of them than if it was just a showmance

TheAntiBoop · 04/07/2016 17:24

The conspiracy theory doesn't explain the introductions to parents

FrayedHem · 04/07/2016 17:30

Maybe the potential video is to save face from the fauxmance? When the first outings were ridiculed (weak nana at the beach/dad at Selena concert) they decided to fake the faking. A bit lol only joking lol.

OiWithThePoodlesAlready · 04/07/2016 17:35

I'm starting to think that the only explanation is that they really are in love (boak) and just don't care that they are making total melons of themselves.

Surely if it was just a pr exercise it would have been very quickly aborted when they realised the reception they were getting was less than positive.

SpecialSnowflake · 04/07/2016 17:35

It's just getting more bizarre by the day. If it turns out NOT to be a stunt, ToTo has some explaining to do as to why he's turned into such a giant prat. FFS that vest would've looked stupid enough on some Beiber-alike, it's beyond daft on a pasty 35yo with a Shakespeare fetish.

Interesting how Ryan Reynolds is a few years older than TH yet manages to not look out of place. Is it the tan or lack of air of desperation ?

Donatellalymanmoss · 04/07/2016 17:38

Definitely the lack of desperation I think.

OiWithThePoodlesAlready · 04/07/2016 17:40

Ryan Reynolds has quite a fun persona I think. I actually didn't realise his age. I would have put him at early 30's.

Until all this business and ridiculousness I thought toto was in his 40's.

SpecialSnowflake · 04/07/2016 17:50

I am secretly hoping it'll turn out to be genuine, it's such a PR disaster otherwise.
A while ago ToTo, when asked why he kept his love life private, said "when there is something to really write home about" he'd be shouting it from the rooftops, which The TayTo Show is pretty comprehensively doing.

Whentheshipgoesdown · 04/07/2016 17:50

I'm not loving Blake's legs round Ryan or his leg tats either, tbh. But ToTo is definitely way more out of place than Ryan. special I love your description of ToTo. I wonder if the Shakespeare thing was just as fake and To trying to get his own Cumberbitches or Redmaynsters? It is a total baffling mystery why they didn't pull the plug as soon as the waves of derision started, but she kept Haylor going for 3 months (and for all eternity in her songs) so I think TayTay is either totally immune to it, engaged in some kind of 5 year avant garde art project, or genuinely believes that 'share of voice' counts regardless of what people are actually saying.

Douglas Booth spotted at centre court for Murray match. Felt you all should know.

WaitroseTrolley · 04/07/2016 18:03

Also agree re Ryan's leg tattoos. They are so bizarre.

FrayedHem · 04/07/2016 18:17

They call themselves the Hiddlesluts or so I read in Tumblr Blush. Maybe he actually welcomes being forever tied to Tay-Tay if it means no more feigning friendly pride over Eddie and Bene.

raisedbyguineapigs · 04/07/2016 18:21

Watched Pride and prejudice and zombies yesterday. How is Douglas Booth so beautiful? I don't particularly fancy him because I like a few flaws in my men but he is like a painting!

FrayedHem · 04/07/2016 18:22

WaitroseTrolley good spot. Do you reckon Lulu had a spare ticket and is going to make Dougie his new fave?

raisedbyguineapigs · 04/07/2016 18:27

thaanti and poodles I keep suspecting the only reason this is still going on is that it is genuine, but all the genuine showbiz relationships are very private early on. Even in normal land, you wouldn't tell all your mates about your new squeeze a week into the relationship! And the photos are so clear, it would be impossible not to see someone photographing you. Its obvious they want to be seen. ToTo has previously been very quiet about his private life. He's 35 and has no actual confirmed relationships, just rumoured ones.

TheAntiBoop · 04/07/2016 18:36

Can someone explain the Reynolds tattoos? I don't get why he has a random selection and only on one leg

TheAntiBoop · 04/07/2016 18:37

There are photos of them running up the beach and you can see the paps taking photos a few metres away. They are totally aware and putting on a performance.

SpecialSnowflake · 04/07/2016 18:39

Boop they might be temporary tattoos - everyone seems to have the remnants of fake tattoos on their shoulders, maybe Ryan applied a ton to his own leg?

TheAntiBoop · 04/07/2016 18:40

That could be it.

Temporary tattoos. It's like a 15 year olds slumber party

DustOffYourHighestHopes · 04/07/2016 18:50

The problem is not what's on the tshirt, it's the fact it's not a tshirt. It's a vest. A VEST.

TheAntiBoop · 04/07/2016 18:53

There are some men who can get away with a vest

The fact that they can only aspire to 'get away with it' says it all about vests

Freshprincess · 04/07/2016 18:53

I hope for both their sakes that the video conspiracy theory is true.

MargotLovedTom · 04/07/2016 19:11

Usually he looks like the sort of man you'd see in a National Trust café in his blue quilted jacket, accompanied by a Rosamund Pike lookalike wife wearing a Joules Breton top and cropped chinos, and their two adorable Boden clad children. NOT frolicking on a beach baring bottle white biceps in a cheap vest and awkwardly trying to ingratiate himself with a load of whooping exhibitionists.

APlaceOnTheCouch · 04/07/2016 19:14

OK who is the Buzz feed spy? We had the elaborate video theory pages ago.Grin

The vest actually made me laugh. It's so ridiculous. But the pic comparison of TayTay on CH's back last year beside her trying to clamber on ToTo's back this year, made me sad. I'm off to trawl the SBOS for something trashy to cheer me up.

TheSpottedZebra · 04/07/2016 19:16

Ryan's tatts are real (alas) - I remember seeing pics and reading about them ages ago.
He regrets them. Well, you would, wouldn't you?
