I know!! This whole photo-shoot made me grin like an insane thing! The cast said it's the first time the four of them have ever done a spread like this together <3

(And OMG, Colin in velvet!!)

blue velvet!!!
I have been in a state since I saw this early this morning
*deep breaths, calm down*
The way he is looking down the camera, his eyes, the suit, his hair (even though its a bit flat) and they all looked like they had a good time!
Heres to many more!

*okay looking again - THUD*

I know, I was blown away by the gorgeous! I've actually "dressed" Merlin in dark blue velvet in my fics and of course have pictured how he'd look. This was a lovely bit of wish fulfillment for me!!

And even with flat hair ;-) he looks...guh!

(And I really need to stop abusing the poor exclamation point!)

gah is the appropriate word alright - the blue velvet just makes his eyes oh so much bluer, its all too gorgeous for words, just a pity only only one photo of him alone, or even one with the girls! maybe they'll release the others (even if they're dud - who cares!)

ah exclamation points - my sister and I decided it was from reading to many Mr Men books!

*joins the Blue Velvet brigade*

It was fantastic to see them all together in a photo shoot. It made me SO happy! And everyone looks stunning, too.

But this picture! There are no words to describe. Totally faint-worthy.

Is it just me, or does Colin look a little like a Beatle in the above pic (of the 4 of them)? The cut of the suit is very retro to me. (early Beatles...sort of like a very young George Harrison)

(Also I've got Bobby Vinton wailing 'blue velvet' on a loop in my head.)

Yes...me too!

Very much faint-worthy.
Everytime I look I see something else (oh god his shoulders!)

maybe a little beatle - could just be the suit!

I thought they did one before, the Glamour photoshoot, but it could be they weren't actually all on the set at the same time, because for that there are no pics of all four of them in one shot.

...bluer than velvet were his eyes...

:D Colin. In Blue freakin Velvet!! Ahh! I've always wanted to see that and I was not disappointed. He looked good in black but the dark, deep blue suits him so incredibly well.

I do think it's in the actual article, pretty sure it was Bradley who noted it being the first time all four of them got together for a photo-spread. Have to say, they all look pretty amazing, don't they?

I chuckled when he said "we're like the simpsons - always in the same clothes!, if the actors are starting to mention it, maybe its time to do something (hint hint production crew)

I know! The comment about wearing the same shirt and jacket since he came to Camelot and Merlin never having to learn how to shave! So adorable <3

(It does make me wonder how often Colin has to shave for the role considering I've never seen Merlin with so much as a hint of a 5 o'clock shadow. With such pale skin and dark hair you'd think you'd see something now and again.)

I think he once said - constantly (and not happy about it!)

Yeah, I do remember him saying that (which is a good reason for going scruffy throughout the hiatus!) but the more I think about it the more I figure it's got to be more than once a day since their filming day is so long.

We hardly see any of them (who don't already have facial hair) with 5 o'clock shadow... How often do we see Arthur that way?

But yeah, with Colin having such dark hair and fair skin, it must be 2-3 times a day, the poor thing!

k_nightfox October 3 2012, 15:09:13 UTC
Yes, we don't see Arthur with stubble but his colouring it's easier to hide it. The hardest shadow to hide is for someone with Colin's colouring. Almost-black hair and ivory skin means you start to see the hair almost before you can even feel it! Like you, I think the poor guy probably has to shave at least twice a day to keep looking that ivory pale and baby smooth. Makeup can help but it can't hide everything! With hair, it often highlights in rather than hiding it. That has got to be wearing! Thus the snarky comment about Merlin never learning to shave because he doesn't age *snickers* Must seem like they are trying to keep him a teen forever.

There are new photos at Merlin's Keep. Saw a bit of 5 o'clock shadow. Nice. Very nice.

That should not be as exciting as it is! *heads off to the Keep to look*
