Mr. Head = Slash Dragon?
Recently Mr. Anthony Head had a few interviews with the Ameican media.
Here is a quote from his IESB interview
"Bradley James (who plays Arthur) is a bit like a son to me, and I’m a bit like a father to him. And, Colin Morgan (who plays Merlin) and Bradley get along really well. They have the same relationship, off screen. He doesn’t push Colin around like he does on screen, but the banter is there. And, they have this very strange humor that no one else gets, and they just crack up at each other’s jokes."
And there is another quote from movieweb
They were having a teleconference, the reporter asked Colin about the show's great sense of humor, then TONY jumped in, saying
"It has to be said also - can I just add that the rapport between Colin and Bradley, Bradley James who plays Arthur offset as well as onset leaves us all very confused. But they are - they are very funny on screen."
I feel Mr. Head has become the real-life Slash Dragon. What do you think?
Why when it comes to promoting Merlin in US, Mr. Head starts to talk about Bradley and Colin's on-and-off screen odd-couple relationship. It has never happened before. So is this something new he noticed during the shooting of Series 2?

Hee! Maybe because Bradley and Colin are playing MarioCarts with each other instead of Bradley borrowing ASH's Nintendo all the time and ASH finally noticed their odd-couple relationship? :P Or maybe it just got more noticable in season 2 (in which case ASH was blind in season 1... LOL).

We need a story of Bradley/Colin/Tony/NDS. Tony feels confused because he doesn't know how to play multi-player NDS games.
In an interview with the Torch Online, ASH revealed:
...but my relationships with Katie [McGrath, who plays Morgana] and Bradley [James, who plays Arthur], I don’t behave like a father to them off set. Although, I have to say occasionally, Bradley does leave his footballs in my hotel room, and [laughs] I take him to task. Also, incidentally, he mucked up the screen of my Nintendo DS. [laughs]
PS, I was a little disappointed when the reporter asked Colin to tell something about using magic in his fight scene with Bradley in the first episode, Colin didn't answer the question, but talked about filming CGI scenes against Green Screen.
