To want to strangle Martin Freeman...

(Or at least the character he plays) for mansplaining to the woman at the train station how she really shouldn’t watch movies on her phone, as it will use up all her data allowance. Git!

Tom Ellis has shown more range than some other actors - he probably shows more range in an episode of Lucifer than Tom Hiddleston has in his entire career! I agree that he’s a cad but remember that Tamsin Outhwaite hooked up with him while he was involved with his pregnant ex - she can hardly be surprised that he pulled a similar move on her!

RoseWhiteTips · 15/12/2017 12:50

Oh my god, Tom Hiddleston - I have never got the fuss about him. Bleurgh

BlazingPaddles · 15/12/2017 12:50

Yes he dumped his pregnant partner to be with Tamzin Outhwaite. Awful creature that he is.

And he has such soulful eyes too Grin

Talking of Toms, this one is pretty pretty...

I'm indifferent to Hiddleston. Although all that Taylor Swift carry on was most undignified for both of them . And then he took part in an ill advised photo shoot where he wore what looked like his grandfather's undercrackers! I think it was supposed to be sexy...

I always very confused between Martin and Morgan Freeman.

Lollol

RavingRoo · 15/12/2017 12:56

Morgan = voice of God
Martin = thinks he’s a gift from God lol

RavingRoo · 15/12/2017 12:59

@blazing - such soulful eyes. Grin

EddieHitler · 15/12/2017 12:59

YABU. I like him.

I also like Martin Clunes and Tom Ellis.

Love Hugh Laurie too.

Not a very interesting opinion, I know...

I think you'll find Morgan Freeman is black and a bit older

laudanum · 15/12/2017 13:01

Nope. He is a shitcannon generally.

GwenStaceyRocks · 15/12/2017 13:06

Whoever mentioned Hugh Laurie, you forgot the pinnacle of his career - Steve Santa in Arthur Christmas Grin

I don't 'get' Martin Freeman. The only saving grace he had was that he was in a relationship with Amanda who seems normal and lovely. Now, he's not with her, I can go back to thinking he's insufferably smug with no redeeming features.

I totally agree except about the sleazy Tom
Ellis person.

Love your username!

Ugh, Freeman's vile. Rape jokes, tax dodging, racism, and apparently he's a massive dick to anyone he deems below him on set. I'd say he ruined Sherlock for me, but since the show ruined itself it's a bit redundant.

What do you mean @kmc1111? I've never read anything connecting him to rape jokes, tax dodging or being racist.

ThymeLord · 15/12/2017 13:19

I was in Tom Hiddleston’s home once

You can't just drop that and not explain what you were doing in his bloody house!

LucilleBluth · 15/12/2017 13:20

The problem with Martin Freeman is....he's always playing Tim playing someone else imo. Nativity = Tim as a teacher. Hobbit - Tim as Hobbit.

Problem with phone ad is that the women is far far far more attractive than MF.

BlazingPaddles · 15/12/2017 13:21

the whole place was full of framed photos of himself, but they were mostly photoshoot shots

Grin

Posh Partridge. What a vain ninny he must be.

Joinourclub · 15/12/2017 13:24

I really don't like him. So smug.

KERALA1 · 15/12/2017 13:25

Tom Ellis on my detest list too. Dumping a nice actress whose name I can't remember and their two little girls. He can sod off.

Agree about Hugh Laurie he is excellent and was a friend of my old boss who was very nice.

MiltonTheCockroach · 15/12/2017 13:25

Can't stand the bloke but I'd never heard about the rape joke before.

"The actor, 42, was promoting The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, when he was asked by a Danish interviewer who he would most like to date – a dwarf, a hobbit, or an elf? Freeman answered: ‘Elf, definitely. Because look at them; they’re beautiful. Men or women.’

Then things took a darker turn when the reporter asked about the height difference. He replied: ‘I’ve got a ladder. It’s fine. And I’ve got drugs. I could just make them — you know. Slip them something in their goblet."

Sorry - missed an important part of the quote off when I c&p'd

"‘Some will get offended by that now. Cause they’ll call it rape or whatever. But, um, you know. For me, it’s a helping hand.’"
