Bradley with fans - photos and report (30 August)
sara_scrive met Bradley at the Medici filming studios on 30 August 2017. The original report is in Italian and can be read here. The English version under the cut is via Google translate. My drawings adventures: Bradley James & Daniel Sharman ETA: Video of the meeting can be viewed here.[Click for English translation]When I started that design in 2015, I had just finished watching the TV series Merlin and I never thought that one day that portrait would have received such a great honor. Immediately after seeing the British TV series on the adventures of Artù and Merlin, I immediately became a fan of Bradley James, placing it at the top of my personal rankings of favorite actors. So in my dreams I always imagined the moment when I would have succeeded in renting Bradley (and I say to rent because he is the type of actor who does not have much news of herself) to talk to him and show me the mega-color portrait I had done to him.
Then as I waited for my oral exam and spent the days studying, I heard the news that Bradley had taken a photo under the Coliseum ... but obviously having to do the state exams, I did not have time to search for Rome.
I was very bad, I thought I had wasted a great deal and instead, in mid-August, I discovered that they were flipping a British-Italian fiction in Italy on the "Medici" family with Bradley James and Daniel Sharman.
Among the first information found, there was the possibility of appearing in Mantua, Montepulciano and Volterra ... but of course some problems always had to be there: in case I passed the test, the shooting would take place at the end of September / beginning of October and consequently I had to choose whether to try to make it appear or to start college on time.
Always looking for information on the right and left, I found out that even in the outskirts of Rome there have been castings but obviously I was disgraced I could not attend because I was doing the exams. Despite this I could not give up and using some logic / espionage skills, which are only afloat in cases of extreme necessity, I have been able to understand / discover the place and date of shooting around *****.
So I pulled out of the wall of my bedroom the Bradley 100x75 cm portrait of King Arthur who was near the bed, failing to realize that the next day I would have realized that dream.
I left my house together with two friends and my boyfriend (he was also a great Merlin fan), and with me in the lead we headed for the set to meet Bradley and Daniel. Since I am a fussy person I have proposed to everyone to leave for 9.30 / 10 from home, so in practice at 10.30 we were already out of the set to wait outside.
August 30th, with a crazy heat. We stood in front of the standing gates. I grabbed Bradley's portrait to draw attention, but to think about it better, maybe people stopped to look at me because I looked like a beggar with one of those signs for alms. There were also two more boys in our group and in total we were in 6 waiting for Bradley and Daniel to come back to the set to shoot the interiors.
I admit it was all fast and we did not have to wait a long way: Bradley was the first to come to us. Thanks to the design obviously, because I think it would not stop the car and it would go down to me if I did not bend the portrait.
When he came to me, I do not know what I had in the brain, maybe ants, but I remember that I managed to spit four words in English and say my name. He was very kind and wrote a dedication on the drawing and when he took the picture with me, he put himself in position, as if to imitate the portrait!
I also have videos, just for reasons of privacy (I did not decide to censor some details, but on the set they "advised" to keep some confidentiality) I would post them when the footage moved to Mantua.
Finally, in the evening, back home I hung up the picture of Arthur Pendragon on the wall, trying to realize what had happened. I'm really happy to have it done, especially the honor of knowing that my work liked the subject of the portrait made me even more proud of me
sara_scrive (Instagram): When I started this drawing in 2015 I could never immagine that one day Bradley James would see it...but some weeks ago, I had the opportunity to met him on #medicimastersofflorence set! He was so kind and amazing! I'm a big Merlin fan since...ever! And when he saw me with this 100×75 cm portrait poster, he stopped his car and came over me to ask me my name and how did this portrait took to me... I'm so happy and proud about this!
