I should probably never be allowed around Matt Smith IRL lest I frighten him with my squee.
Happy birthday to cordelia_v, misspamela, noeon, and shrift! I hope all four of you have had fantastic birthdays this week.
Okay, so the crux of this post started off with noeon sending me a photograph of Matt Smith this morning. The next thing I knew, I'd downloaded over 60 pictures from Google Image Search and had decided to do a Matt Smith picspam.
I love Matt Smith. I've loved him since I saw him in Party Animals, and when it was announced over a year ago that he was going to come on to Doctor Who as the Eleventh Doctor, I nearly died of utter and complete GLEE. He is adorable, and an phenomenal actor and I have absolutely no doubt he's going to be a unbelieveably awesome Doctor. I know a lot of people don't really know much about him, so let me introduce to him to you. I'm hoping you end up adoring him as much as I do.
See? How can you resist this face? \0/
Oh, and I should say that to the very, very best of my knowledge, there are no spoilery photos for Doctor Who in this picspam. I deliberately stayed far, far, far away from those particular photographs. There is one publicity photo from a year ago when the announcement for the Eleventh Doctor was made and one more recent photo of Matt with his new companion and a fan, but from what I can tell they're wearing their own clothes, not Doctor Who costumes. (I recognize the scarf Matt's wearing in the photo as his own. *g*) So if you're avoiding Who spoilers, you should be safe here.
Party Animals: This is the role that made me a blithering Matt Smith fangirl. Party Animals is a BBC series that only ran 8 episodes. It takes place in Westminster, specifically in the Portcullis House offices of two upwardly mobile MPs, one Labour, one Tory. Matt plays Danny Foster, the senior researcher for Labour MP Jo Porter, and I LOVE him. I wrote my Yuletide fic for this fandom and I have every intention of writing more in it this year,even though like maybe five people know what the hell it is. :D
Rumpled. Sexy. Glasses. Floppy Hair. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the inspiration for Harry Potter in Black Coffee on a Lonely Night. *HEARTS*
I love it when Danny gets all woobie.
See? He woobies so well. \0/
MORE WOOBIEING. Also do not get me started on the untucked shirt or I might just blather on inanely for HOURS.
Danny outside Parliament. The skinny tie. I am in love with the slightly askew skinny tie.
Danny with his brother Scott, the lobbyist.
Matt with Party Animals costars Shelley Conn and Clemency Burton-Hill.
Matt with Clemency Burton-Hill. Clemency wrote an article for the Daily Mail shortly after Matt was cast as Doctor Who in which she discusses why she thinks he's a good fit for the role.
And VIDEO! The first is my favourite clip from the first episode because it introduces Danny and Matt Baker, the Tory MP's researcher who is canonically gay and who in my mind at least is secretly in love with Danny. \0/ YOU GUYS, I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.
If you're interested in watching Party Animals, I've uploaded the whole 8 episodes on my website. Just let me know if you download so I can keep an eye on my bandwidth. Or you can watch them streaming on YouTube on the Party Animals Series 1 channel. I adore this series more than I can possibly express. It is awesome and everyone should watch it and then flail with me over how awesome Danny/Matt Baker is.
Swimming With Sharks: In 2007-2008, Matt played Guy against Christian Slater's Buddy in the stage adaptation of the movie Swimming With Sharks.
HELLO, I suddenly want Christian Slater to throw Matt against the wall and have his way with him.
I think Christian might go for it.
Matt doesn't seem so sure. Dammit.
That Face: In 2007 Matt played Henry in the play That Face, a look at an upper-middle class family dealing with alcoholism and drug abuse.
Oh, why hello, half-naked Matt Smith. Feel like dropping the towel?
YES THAT IS THE NEXT DOCTOR WHO IN A DRESS. Let's look at that again shall we?
Mmmm. NICE. But wait. It gets better. Let's take a look at another play.
Citizenship: Part of a trilogy of teen plays put on by the National Theatre in 2005-2006. The entire series was called Burn/Chatroom/Citizenship.
Okay, this seems pretty normal. Boy, parka, floppy hair. And then...
SWEET JAYSUS ABOVE. Sid Mitchell decides to put the moves on him. The amount of UTTER GLEE this photo inspires in me is ridiculous.
Moses Jones: A three-part BBC miniseries aired in February 2009 in which Matt plays the part of DS Dan Twentyman who assists DI Moses Jones on a murder investigation in London's Ugandan community.
Floppy hair, check. Rumpled shirt, check. DETECTIVE BADGE, OMG. \0/ I need to see this miniseries.
The Ruby In The Smoke: The first of Philip Pullman's Sally Lockhart novels (in which Billie Piper's supposed to be 16, AHAHHAHAHAHAAH.) Matt played Jim Taylor in the BBC telefilm that aired December 2006.
All I have to say is three piece wool suit and newsboy cap? I AM SO THERE.
Matt. Get your damn hand out of your pocket. It puts my mind in the gutter.
I want Billie Piper's hat because it is almost as awesome as Aretha Franklin's inaugural hat.
The Shadow In The North: The sequel to The Ruby in the Smoke. Matt reprises his role as Jim Taylor. It aired on BBC One in December 2007.
The return of the the three-piece suit! With bowler hat now! I don't know why I love men in vests, but damn, I do.
Oh, woobie. You look so serious.
The vest. I just can't even. *flails*
Um...hair washing. It's good, darling. Don't listen to Severus Snape.
Please always dress like this because it is awesome.
The Secret Diary of A Call Girl: Matt plays Tim in the sixth episode of the first series. IIRC, Belle picks Tim up while she's shopping for a gift. You can watch a clip from the episode here.
Oh, Matt. You do clueless so well.
Really. Although I prefer you as woobie.
Still, your flirting with Billie Piper is kind of hot.
Well, except when you do that.
But you got to be naked(ish) in bed with Billie. I AM ENVIOUS. Lucky lad.
And you know it, don't you? Bastard. :D
The Street: Matt was in two episodes of this BBC show in 2007 (the second series). I haven't seen it, but evidently it revolves around a Manchester street and as I understand there's some question about whether or not Matt's character killed someone. Or something.
ARGH MY EYES. YOU CUT YOUR HAIR, WOOBIE. This is sad making. As is that sweater. Dear God. Bad fashion choice. BAD. Although the neck. Hm. That has possibilities for Master-biting. \0/
My heart is softened slightly by the mother-son woobieness....
Together: This is a short film that premiered at the 2009 Cannes Festival. According to Wikipedia, the summary is as follows: a year after his brother's death, Rob discovers that the only way to help his father cope with the loss is to "force" his affection onto him.
Dear Matt, you almost look like you're wearing a Fourth Doctor scarf. I APPROVE OF THIS, and think that you should find an actual one to drape around that lovely neck.
General photographs not associated with projects: And now we go into a group of photos that are either paparazzi or fan photos or just publicity shots.
I CANNOT RESIST THE SMIRK. Or the floppy hair. GAH.
I have the distinct urge to start singing "I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay, I sleep all night and I work all day" here.
He kind of ruins the woobie!emo look with the bright blue/purple cardigan. Matt. Baby. You need to be all in black to pull off the Edward Cullen aesthetic.
Where is the floppy hair? NEVER CUT YOUR HAIR AGAIN, MATTY. NEVER. Or you'll make me cry like this picture does.
Oh, thank God, it's back. KEEP THE FLOPPY HAIR.
Er. But brush it. Please. For the love of God before tentacles start sprouting up from that mess, darling.
Some fan ran into Matt and Russell Tovey together and took a picture of them. I am in love with the t-shirt. You'll see it again.
OH LOOK. THERE IT IS.
And again.
And again. He needs a shave. Badly. Can I do it for him? Because I SO WOULD. Shut up.
See? He's all thrilled by this idea. ME TOO, MATT. ME TOO.
Although I suspect his girlfriend Mayana Moura would not approve. Woe.
They are so cute together. And she is hot. I may have a small crush on her. And her name is awesome. Mayana. Mayana. Mayana. I LOVE IT.
I also love Matt's green hat. \0/
Don't look at me like that, Matt. The green hat is CUTE.
The stripy scarf returns! With Mickey! And his Doctor Who co-star Karen Gillian. And a fan! (Dear Karen Gillian, I am also inappropriately crushing on you and you would make an awesome Ginny Weasley, I'm just saying.)
Red Carpet at Cannes: Matt went to the premiere of Fish Tank at Cannes in 2009. These pictures then occurred.
Ya-de-dah-de-dah...just strolling along...
Oh, wait...is that a flash I see?
What? It's only polite to stop...
Damn, I'm the Doctor now. Let's try to look hot. Wait, wait...shit, I didn't mean to channel a fifteen-year-old at a school dance...
Shake it off, man...there we go...looking cool...
Big smile, that's it...
Nailed it. Damn, I'm good.
God, this suit is itching me...
Suave, suave. Right. Turn now...throw a smile back at the photogs...
Yes. Dimple a bit. Christ, this sea air's puffing up my hair....
...and making it limp too. Jesus.
But who cares? I'm bloody adorable.
See? Harry Treadaway agrees.
In conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Eleventh Doctor. HE ROCKS. \0/\0/\0/\0/\0/\0/\0/\0/\0/\0/\0/\0/\0/\0/\0/
