Did you catch all of Tom Welling's recent interviews and appearances?

May 18, 2011 19:20

The usually reclusive Tom Welling did a surprising number of interviews and appearances to promote the Smallville series finale, and in this post I've attempted to make a comprehensive list of them all. I did it for the Tom fans on my flist, just in case anyone missed something along the way, and for myself, to have a little slice of Tom heaven I ( Read more... )

You are amazing for compiling all of these in one post. Thank you so much.
He was simply incredible in every single appearance in the this final stretch of the show. He truly couldn't be more charming. If he was any more charming I think he would literally turn into a Disney Prince. He's incredible.

What was up with Regis on R&K though? Was I the only one who felt like Tom was being so friendly and sweet and Regis kind of was...snubbing him? It was odd. Certainly not Tom's fault. He was wonderful. But Regis could have done better with that interview.

He truly couldn't be more charming.

I completely agree. He is such a gentleman, and at the same time he's so entertaining. And he moved from one venue to another with ease, equally at home in each.

I don't watch R&K much, but I didn't get that impression from Regis. I just think he was trying to be funny, and that he was more focused on what he was going to say next than actually listening to Tom. But yes, he could have done better. His questions had me rolling my eyes.

I love you so much right now. <3<3<3

Thanks for putting all of these together. It gives us something to hold onto until our darling Tom surfaces again.

I found myself going back to a lot of these to see them again, and every time I was hunting here and there for the right link. I had to put them all in one place!

My favorite is Tom's appearance on Jimmy Fallon, and I have a feeling it's going to see a lot of play on my computer in the months ahead. I do hope Tom has a chance to truly relax, but I'm counting on his healthy work ethic to get him back in the game before too much time has passed. ;)

Once thing we've defintely learned about Tom lately...he likes to be doing something. So, like you, I'm hoping that means he'll be back to work soon.

DUDE!! First of all, wtf is up with LJ throwing only your notifications in my spam folder?

Second!! omg, ilu. I am totally saving this batch of Tommie goodies in my memories for ever and ever. Did I mention you were awesome?! ♥

My posts are spam? Well, I'm sure those on my flist who aren't obsessed with Tom think so. :)

I'm very much afraid this will be the last of the Tommy news for a long, long time. I hope I'm wrong.

Damn!! I can always count on you to bring forth all the Tommy goodness for a time-deprived gal like me. I've caught all the major interviews but I have to OWN them on my harddrive. So thank you kindly . What did you think of the 5 year old Tom with a tooth missing? Could he have been any cuter?? He'll, no, he couldn't have!!!

What I loved about those pics of Tom as a child was that he was wearing Superman colors in both of them. Obviously he was born to play this role!

Thank you so much for this GREAT service.

The best about these recent interviews, in particular the talk show and radio interviews, is that Tom really opened up his fortress of seclusion and let us in on quite a bit of his real self; to a degree that we never were able to see before. Jamie, his parents, childhood pics: I never thought he´d ever share any of this. Besides, I never saw him this relaxed and happy. He was nice and funny before, but there was always a hint of reservation. And now this! What a treat! *sigh*

Can he please present the next Oscars?

This really was a whole new Tom we saw in these recent interviews, and I was as surprised as you were to see him share so much of his personal life. I don't know if it was a conscious effort on his part to be more accessible (even his co-stars talk about how private he is), or simply a reflection of the freedom he feels to be himself now that Smallville is over, but whatever the reason, I loved it.

My favorite was his appearance on Jimmy Fallon. He looked amazing, and he seemed perfectly at ease. I loved the way he made Jimmy laugh. His self-deprecating humor when he told the story of his surprise party was too funny, and so very charming.
