The time was running out.. then I found myself
almost in front of him again..GOD! I asked her to say something to him in a
proper English because I was thrilled to bits!
We were the last in the queue. Richard was
exhausted, he had probably been there all day. He couldn't wait to go home, but
he talked to us again. I remember his face when he saw me, I think he said “did
you queue back again?” :D My friend asked if we could take a proper photo (she
wasn't happy with hers as well) because he blinked..so I showed him the photo
as proof..he smiled. I don't remember what I said.. I only know he said “of
course”, he was amused...
I quickly wrapped his waist like a KOALA on his tree and he put his arm on my shoulders to pose. Then
he said “never blink in photos!!” and
smiled.
I smelled him twice...he smells really good. I
don't know what perfume it might be. I only know that I was overwhelmed by his
presence. He is a very handsome man, kind and gentle with fans. He's shy in
these situations and moves dorkly... how adorable?? He is really hot, in the
true sense of the word. I felt the heat and the pleasant scent his body was
giving off...does this sound crazy? :P
I failed again to introduce myself and shake
his hand, but there is still time.
My friend took a beautiful picture of me
and Richard, and every time I look at it, I can't believe I really met him.
As I wrote on Twitter, he's so kind, he loves
to see that his fans are there to support him. So if you can attend the show, go
and say “hello” to him (if he does this again). I don't think that the stage
door thing disturbs him, what would he think if he didn't find anyone waiting
for him?
I heard the Tom Hiddleston had problems with
some crazy fans and he stopped doing the stage door after the show. BUT this is
Richard Armitage and The Armitage Well Wishers Army is made of educated people.
I saw a quiet and organised queue, nobody
complained, he wouldn't leave until he had met everybody, even us for the
second time!
He got many gifts, nice words for his
performance and looked very happy.
Ask him for a hug.. one girl said “can I hug
you??” and he replied:”sure, come here!” and welcomed her into his arms...
bless him!
My friend asked “how did it go?”
Richard “it wasn't too bad for the first
night...” He's so humble and modest.
I will see the show next Friday, I'm literally
counting the days.I can't wait! I heard great reviews about the whole show
and his performance.
I hope to meet him again after the show and
finally say something more, though we don't know if he'll do it again.
I wish all of you could meet him, I was so
lucky to be here in London at this particular time. I couldn't imagine he would
work here on stage!
When you meet him, after recovering from
fainting, you realise he's a normal guy, very genuine (although I don't know him
personally) he's not like the other celebrities. That's why we love him so
much!
OH! I didn't mention his voice.. so deep and
yet so delicate... a cuddle for your ears …..
I felt the need to tell you how I met him. We
waited for him for more than six hours in the wind.. but it was worth it.
I'm sorry for my bad English..I hope I let you
share this amazing experience with me !
Thank you for reading!!
Thank you so much Fabo for hosting me in your
blog!!
I will write more in seven days...If I recover
after seeing him shirtless on stage!!! ;P
