I remember I used to be IN LOVE with Mr Tumnus as a kid LMFAO and it always made me sad he wasn't in the sequels.

(This relies on having watched his thirst tweets video)

Is the his dark materials series really that iconic? Or is it just because it's what he's promoting? Because ive seen season 1 and when i think Asriel i think daniel craig still lmao.

It's better than the movie, but the show is still really lacking. I'm surprised he's even doing promo since I assumed no one cared about the show anymore

The budget skimping turned me off. The movie was terrible but at least they swung for the cgi fences more.

its better than the movie for sure. you get will content in s1 and s2 is lovely too

It's been long enough that I can now admit that Wanted is terrible, but he's still great. My faves are probs Robbie Turner and sweet baby angel Prof. X.

Wanted is flatter than cardboard; it's almost impressive.

My dad randomly put it on when I was visiting for Thanksgiving, and my heart was just sinking like "...man, I saw this opening weekend, didn't I."

I remember ranting about that movie and my brother got all mad at me because he said I'm too harsh a critic. Then he saw it and he had to agree I was right.

No mention of the last king of Scotland?

[la_petite_singe]

ugh, he's SO good in that. I loved that Forest Whitaker acknowledged him by name in every acceptance speech that season. Classy. ❤️

My thoughts exactly. That's his best work to date in my opinion, no matter how hard it is to watch again. But if I'm picking a personal favorite as opposed to best performance I'd put his lighter comedies at the top of that list like Penelope or Becoming Jane. He's always got great chemistry with his costars.

I'm never watching that movie ever again, but he was amazing in it

I absolutely adore him as Mr Tumnus. Probably my fave role of his. He's so sweet in it.
