Adrian Lester stalking
Bradley James during lunchtime on the set. LOL. One of my favorite
BTS moments, as filmed by
Colin. Funny because
Adrian plays an Assassin sent to kill
Arthur on the show.
When I first started watching
Merlin and I saw
Arthur, I thought okay
Arthur's really cute but he's probly just a pretty face. But yeah, then I got to know his character better and found his prattiness to be pretty
endearing. In fact, I love that
Arthur has actual faults. A bratty young prince is always more entertaining to watch than a perfect
Prince Charming who always does the right thing. The fact that
Arthur doesn't always
do the right thing but he learns from his mistakes and even acknowledges that he makes mistakes is part of Arthur's charm. And because I love
Arthur and the cast dearly, it was inevitable that I'd want to watch the Cast Diaries and Behind-the-Scenes footage from the show.
So, I really love
Bradley James. I can't help it, the man is 'fighting fit'! LOL.
He also happens to be a damn good actor.
At first, I really loved Arthur and Bradley's acting but I wasn't really sure about how he'd be in real life.
I had seen him in one interview, after I watched Merlin for the first time, and he came off as just really serious.
But then, I saw
Bradley and
Colin's cast diaries and wow...
Bradley totally won me over.
That's when I found out he's actually got a great sense of humor and he's pretty hilarious. It also turns out that his personality is a lot like
Arthur's.
He bullies
Colin like mad and teases
Angel constantly. It's adorable to watch.
So I noticed something else about
Bradley from the BTS and Diaries footage. Compared to other interviews, he seems to be more relaxed and care-free. And constantly joking and fooling around. haha
He also seems to love his camera. It's awesome how he tries to find fun situations which he can record for the fans. If they release the US DVDs, they better include all the same extras they have in the UK version.
Some of my favorite BTS and Diary footage include:
~ Rollercoaster ride
~ Bradley calling
Angel a hussy
~ Bradley's temper tantrum about not be able to get proper milk in France
~ Colin claiming
Bradley teases him every day
~ Bradley bullying
Colin. BJ getting upset that everyone says what a great guy
Colin is and protecting him but no one seems to care for
Bradley. LoL at his jealousy.
~ One of the crew members/director (?)...sorry wasn't sure what he was exactly, verifying that
Bradley teases
Angel constantly (after he was doing impressions of her, lol) and then the guy says they only gave
Bradley the part because they felt they had to do something for the community. ROFL. That was just awesome! And then
Bradley says something like
"Don't believe a word of it. It's true... but don't believe a word of it." XD
~ Anything with
Katie and
Angel together, haha
~ Anything with
Bradley and Angel together <3
~ Colin and Bradley playing pranks on
Angel whilst using their limited French is priceless!
I just love seeing a show where the cast gets along so well. Seeing that they have so much fun BTS really translates well on-screen, too.
I'm looking forward to seeingd Colin and Braley's roadtrip on Saturday. It should be fun!
