Mr. Armitage sat down for the three part interview. Check out Parts One and Two on our playlist: • Richard Armitage Inter...

[@cloudstrifejen]

Richard almost cried when he received the award... So heartbreakingly sad he didn't received any awards on his great performances though... But we, the fans will always see Richard as the brilliant actor that he is!

[@ScentsandDreams]

omg, that laugh at the end. Can I just wrap him up and take him home?? Adorable!!

[@chunyili7134]

This is such a rich and beautiful interview, thank you Anglophile Channel!! It's quite rare to see an interview with such a nice atmosphere that it's almost like watching two old friends chatting...and I just love all the detailed little stories that he tells. If only we could have more interviews like this in the industry! And what struck me most is that Richard got so emotional accepting the award, I was really surprised, and impressed. You've just got to love him.

[@13ma98]

What a lovely, sweet, marvelous man! And, like allways, so intelligent! I was very touched. Thank you Marlise and Paul for this interview!

[@SagittaAlice]

OMG! He's so cute. You deserved it Mr.Richard

[@ScentsandDreams]

It just absolutely blows my mind that Richard has not received an award for his prolific acting! My heart broke when he spoke about that. However, how many of the actors who have won those awards can honestly say they have an 'army' of fans out there with unconditional support?! Can't wait to hear the audiobook...so cute Richard didn't want give a sample of his Ophelia voice. haha!! Thanks again @theAnglophileChannel for all you have done to see this interview come true and putting a smile on Richard Armitage's face with the Favorite British Artist of the Year Award...nobody deserved it more than Richard!!!

[@panggamahal5571]

InkdMomof3 Best actor for all seasons

[@lydiagreen2161]

InkdMomof3 RA definitely deserve to get rewards he shouldn't have been overlooked for his acting ability its not right or fair he is better actor than most and also very humble too

[@debrabates5644]

This was a wonderful interview! Richard is so humble! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@TheAnglophileChannel]

+Debra Bates Glad you liked it! :-)

[@sydneysherwood4205]

He's so kind! His accent is so captivating OMG. And he's so shy!!!

[@MrShenhai]

Such a modest and gentle guy! I'm sure he'll do well as a director. He has the imagination for it and it will be nice to see what flows through his head when he pictures a story unfolding!

[@remsan03]

Part Three and still going. I don't want this to end. I could stare at Richard endlessly and it still would have been a satisfying life. And the voice... *sigh* like a warm melted chocolate

[@namblue100]

Some actors are admired for their excellent acting skills, some for their looks, some get respect, some adoration. Here is one actor who deserves all that and more. Thanks to the channel for this wonderful interview. Thanks to Richard. Hope the Richard III project which has been close to his heart for so many years will come to fruition soon enough.

[@panggamahal5571]

Nam blue perfection

[@gracebrady3162]

*wipes a tear* what a lovely man! Thank you so much Anglophile Channel!

[@guzingliz]

i can't believe I'm saying this but I started tearing up when he received the trophy and the way he addressed his fans with that emotional and sincere look on his face! i don't usually get emotional easily but he got me! and the last part in slow motion ...Oh goodness..never loved an actor holistically like Richard THE GREAT!! XXX

[@smalljobswithcdbigbob675]

Same here. We all teared up a bit in the room!

[@guzingliz]

I only wish I could just say hello to him. He's such a great human being. Thanks Paul Boland for everything.

[@smalljobswithcdbigbob675]

guzingliz Well, if anything, we have proven that anything is possible! It's the power of positive thinking! I hope you all get to meet him, he's a very nice man!

[@msmills3030]

He is respected and admired. Great job Anglophile channel.

[@Eman0Miller]

sending my love and support from Saudi Arabia to you RICH. you deserve all the success hope to see win an Oscar one day .. such a beautiful human being

[@spiritwinddancer44]

gorgeous as always! He is so humble and sweet. Just a mensch.

[@shadwbrokr]

Did he just snort with laughter at the end? 3 that's so adorable. The look on his face when he received the award was so beautiful. I just wanna hug him 3

[@fmpm2007]

My thanks to The Anglophile Channel for producing such a top notch production. Kudos to Paul and Marlise and everyone else involved with making this happen. My thanks to Richard for making this all possible with his presence and sense of humor. And I think it only fitting that Richard's first ever award comes from his fans, we know a good thing when we see it and we know his future is bright. I was saddend to hear that he may branch out into producing himself because I really do not want to lose his presence on my screen as an actor also...just the selfish side of this fan coming out. I wish him only the best in whatever endeavours he chooses to persue. He will always have his well-wishers' support.

[@TheAnglophileChannel]

Thank YOU Fernanda! You have been such a wonderfully positive presence here on KZbin and on our FB page. Thank you for your kind words and amazing support. Truly moved by all of you! xo M

[@ladycplum]

Hey Fernanda, it's Amanda from the Richard page on Facebook!

[@MousePotato]

I never heard of the word Anglophile until i stumbled onto this channel. It's nice to see us Brits and me as an English man being appreciated. He looks nothing like his character Thorin. Even his facial expressions are so different it just goes to show what a great actor he is.

[@classisall]

Aww..he is a sweetheart ❤ ..nevermind the awards,he is excellent in whatever he does.., Thanks a lot 😘

[@LaDyBluE1967]

What a man!!! I love him with all my soul. Thank you Anglophile Channel for this interview!!!

[@ladycplum]

Did anyone else get misty-eyed during his little thank you speech?

[@tanimatveeva5702]

Thank you so much! Richard better than anyone!

[@ebie58]

What an excellent interview. Richard Armitage was gracious, funny, good looking, and I enjoyed watching him. I really enjoy your skills at asking questions and obviously putting him at ease. Bravo..

[@deanna1764]

Thank you, thank you, thank you: a lively, intelligent and friendly interview wich made us love even more the good actor and the beautiful person who is Richard Armitage!

[@RichardArmitageUS]

[@josephinefarrugia7714]

Adorable and so cute! Thanks Marlise and Paul! loovee Richard Armitage xxx

[@margaretsgirl]

I'm so impressed with your interviewing skills. Really well done. First rate. Have enjoyed these three interview segments immensely. As always, Richard gives us something to ponder and contemplate and at the same time makes us laugh and feel better. You brought all of this out in him, and that deserves top marks. Excellent job.

[@Koppydo]

God.... I've seen this interview for many /MILLION/ times but still love coming back to this. Especially knowing I voted too for Richard... omg.... thanks for Marlise, you're being brilliant! :) so as Richard. Obviously.

[@Gitana1825]

OMG He is the sweetest person ever! Interviewer is also adorable! Thank you!

[@chrissyinwm954]

applause applause - thank you Marlise and Anglophile Channel! and Richard, of course.

[@janemiller7568]

THANKYOU......just holding back the tears ,,,..this is wonderful .....you managed to get Richard to relax and have fun .It felt as if you were both sitting in my living room chatting ..has to be the best interview with Richard ....xx..Love this man !

[@nitram367]

Best interview ever of Richard Armitage, love you!

[@MaidenOfTheForest81]

this is perfect!! what a man....what an adorable man he is!!!...and when he is watching the video is just awwwwww

[@CarolynDorr]

Thank you so much! You did a great job! He is the sweetest and most sincere man!

[@dianalong5738]

Great interview...just loved every moment of all three! Looking forward to seeing more of Richard in the future! Thank you Marlise and Paul!

[@sandrafarmer5580]

Would love to give him a hug! Great actor!

[@SuzannaLynn]

OMG, his laugh at the end is truly adorable... love seeing him 'let loose' and just be himself (as much as he can be at least). I would love to spend just one hour getting to know him... not interviewing but just being real. PLEASE, if you can, try to find any info on sending fan mail in the US :)

[@Bakkz13]

I can never get over how charming he is, in each and every interview I've ever watched him in ( Which is roughly 30 in just the past couple of weeks). He's funny, witty, so well read (Sigh), talented, and of course breath-takingly handsome. This is one actor's career I want to watch closely in the coming years. I do hope he gets into Production and Directing,. I feel excited just wondering what he would come up with.

[@Albusowner]

Thank you for such an amazing interview! He seemed so genuinely touched by the award you presented him. I don't think he realises how much fan support he has... a pleasure to watch!!

[@mezzym01]

Once again, I enjoyed this so much (loved the chair race!), and felt quite teary when Richard received the award. What a beautiful, adorable, gentlemanly man. He seems to have always been aware of his fans' support, but maybe now he finally "gets" just how much we love, respect and admire him. Many thanks again to all involved for a wonderful interview. Looking forward to the outtakes!! :-)

[@marykatezehr1074]

Richard Armitage is my absolute HERO!!!! Fantastic actor and gorgeous man, good guy!!!! Love you, Richard! :) My dream is to be in some sort of movie with him if I ever become an actor.

[@RichardArmitageFrance]

Many thanks to you Marlise and Paul. A lot of emotion in this third part...We were welling up at the end... The three parts were really gReAt and what we've heard and saw made us love him even more

[@mallory2125]

What a gorgeous man inside and out! I'm a new fan, from the instant that Thorin appeared in The Hobbit. Have been diving into his other work as well and loving all of it!! So glad he is such a great person as well as actor! I

[@MirielArwenHelyanwe]

Marlise, Thank you so much! Thank you, "The Anglophile Channel" team and the British Consulate for everything you did to make this amazing interview come true! Part of me still thinks I dreamt of him watching my video, but...well, he actually did and I couldn't be happier! I loved every question and every answer. And btw, you were right! Richard is a cheater!!! but he is also the great man we all admire, so we forgive him, don't we? ;) And you... You're indeed the best interviewer in the world! :D Thank you again for everything!

[@marabity]

Richard's best interview.

[@michikomanalang6733]

Thanks for sneaking my question in there~ You guys did a wonderful job. Best interview ever, and I'm so glad that Richard can feel the support of his fans. He's so adorable, ugh, what a man.

[@SrtaWalker]

Thank you so much for this interview! I'm so glad that he knows that we love him in Spain!!! He is amazing

[@amyleonard9025]

Thank you so very much for everything you did to make such a lovely interview! It has been so much fun to watch. This final piece was so moving. P.S. Even though he cheated at the chair race, I think he deserves to cut line at the airport.

[@degrega1]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for such a wonderful interview with Richard, Anglophile Channel! You did a fabulous job, Marlise!! Now you know why we love him so much! He is such a sweet, humble man and so much fun! His acceptance speech was so touching and I had tears of laughter in my eyes during the slow motion chair race! He is SO ADORABLE!! Again, much thanks for doing this for us!

[@desertrose6670]

It's so sweet that he appreciates his fans :)

[@WingedPeach]

I love interviews like this where they analyze the characters.

[@Gahb24]

What a lovely man! Great interview ;)

[@Nikita-978]

Thank you so much Marlise and Paul!!! Great job! Richard is such a lovely man!

[@mariainesmarticorena2186]

Thank you Anglophile Channel for such an amazing interview. Marlise, you're truly the best interviewer ever!!! And, of course, Richard is wonderful!!!

[@ladycplum]

I love how he seems to be coming out of his shell a lot, becoming more confident and more relaxed in interviews

[@troynowicki4123]

that was an amazing interview. Can't wait for RA's next film (Wish I lived in England so I could see the Crucible). And to the interviewer, amazing job, was very fun to watch, and you have an amazing personality.

[@lucilavasquez6358]

(Whistling) You have hit one out of the ballpark! Thank you Marlise, Paul and company.

[@Enki35Productions]

Awwwww... Richard Armitage's acceptance speech was so sweet. He deserves that award.. and also.. he needs one for, One of the world sexiest men alive! Hahahaha. Wooo.. Handsome fella. ;)

[@stacey6960]

What a wonderful conclusion! Cheers!

[@MarlboroughAnne]

GREAT FUN !!! Thank you Anglophile Channel.

[@angelanewton9148]

Hi Marliese!! I have watched ALL your wonderful interview w RA several times now. Thank you for always treating him w so much respect and for knowing so much about his work. These first 3, and the out takes, are my faves so far. I always cry when RA gets his award. I literally had to wipe tears off my keyboard before I could write this. :)

[@freddiembuls2083]

Almost cried, and I NEVER cry ='[

[@rouzmarie6289]

This was so funny, i loved it! Greetings from Finland

[@Dancediva240]

Oh man I'm in love with Richard again for the billionth time. One man, so many facets. My heart cannot take this.

[@zoe3867]

Oh my god, I was really moved by this part. You guys have done a great job. Thank you a million, and I am a very proud fan of you, Richard.

[@sueweir4594]

Thank you so much for these interviews all were wonderful, but Richard accepting the award was really very special. Richard's "well wishers" will watch these videos many times, and treasure them as a glorious gift. Ms. Marlise you are indeed the "best interviewer in the world" great work!! Richard, we'll watch or listen to any and all of your projects, but please don't stop acting completely, your work is SO special.

[@fmpm2007]

I have to agree, as much as I would like to see Richard produce the production of his dreams, I still want to see him continue to act as well.

[@alessandrabertoldi8210]

Thank you again and again for this wonderful, funny, in-depth and touching interview!

[@rain011]

See I didn't know that part about him being named after Richard III, and I'm a bit of a history buff and just about to watch a documentary on Richard III so it's pretty awesome to find that out! Thank you Marlise, Paul and the rest of the gang for all you do for us RA fans!

[@torryquine78]

Thank you Marlise!! What a wonderful way to end this interview. His smiles and his laughter says it all. What a sweetheart he is and you certainly did bring out a side of Richard most of us had never seen before. Bless you - and him!!

[@Inept_the_Magnificent]

Love it!! He's like a big kid :) Thank you for the interviews. As a loyal RA well-wisher, I know we all appreciate this. Marlise, you're fabulous!!

[@ffantasia24]

THANK U SO MUCH FOR GIVING HIM THE POP THORIN FIGURE was really hoping someone would really do it lol

[@nellb.110]

Stunning man, great interview! Thank you very much, dear Anglophile team! Let's hope he'll get the right casting calls very soon!

[@swtbox626]

That was so lovely, it makes me want to cry! T-T

[@TheIdahogrl]

Love this channel and Love..love..love all of your interviews with Richard Armitage. The I-chat interview with Richard is, I think my favorite so far. Your teasing jabs at him made me giggle and his reactions were priceless. He wasn't quite sure at some point how to approach answering because he'd have this look and that grin like..ah, she got me. And sometimes he'd be just quick with the answers. He definately loves what he does, and it's interesting to see what he says about acting as a craft and what it means to him. I'm always learning something new from him. Keep it up Marlise. I love the way you interview people. You really make them comfortable and at ease and you are funny!

[@ainhoaaparicio3729]

such a nice chap!

[@mateahefler9940]

Aw, he was so adorable in the end xD He really is one of the best actors whose movies and shows I have had the pleasure to watch.

[@MiErakuria]

Thank you so much for this!!! He's adorable!!

[@smalljobswithcdbigbob675]

Thanks again to everyone! Also, thanks for checking out my Anglophile Channel show "Brit Flix"! I appreciate it. My co-host Kelly Monteith and I will be uploading an episode once a month. We talk classic British Cinema while drinking some very inexpensive wine! :-) As always, our main goal is to have fun! Keep an eye out for the Armitage outtakes later this week. It will be the full 'Buns' version! :-)

[@fmpm2007]

Paul I will be checking out your show and the outtakes are going to be die for if the teaser was any indication...thanks again for all your efforts and your superior editing skills for this wonderful interview with Richard.

[@dianeayers9417]

Paul, I did enjoy your Brit Flix show and will gladly view the next episode. Thank you for all you do. I look forward to viewing some of the other content on The Anglophile Channel now that I have so much enjoyed these interviews with our beloved Richard. I have the trip of a lifetime coming up a bit later this spring to Scotland and the UK and I can hardly wait. Somewhere I've always wanted to visit. Who knows, I may STAY! LOL Thanks again for all the hours you have put into the RA interview(s). And a huge thank you to Marlise too! xoxoxo

[@smalljobswithcdbigbob675]

Thank you Diane. You're a sweetheart! We are jealous over your trip. Can't wait to get back to the UK. Send Marlise pix when you are there!

[@vampire6311]

I really love that interview. He's beautiful, smart person, just perfect. Where I found someone similar?

[@零度啵啵啤]

expecting the new movie!oh this gorgeous man...thanks Marlise

[@englishlady9797]

He's adorable. One of my favourite actors. Anyone who hasn't, please watch North and South, its one of his early series based on a Victorian novel. He's the romantic lead.

[@Nizan89]

Thank you so much for doing this interview, it has been so much fun watching it and you both have been really entertaining!

[@catcollector1257]

This was hands down the best interview I've seen.

[@dinahjmolijoh2008]

Great interview!!

[@sodiqaaksiani6364]

Lovely interview 😊

[@kristieshorten9984]

That was incredible. HE'S incredible. SHE'S incredible! One question though: Who was the first name he said when quizzed about his ideal leading lady? All I got was Cate at the end lol...

[@sunisehz2941]

First name on his list - Janet McTeer (recently nominated for the Golden Globes for her work in The White Queen), as well as Tilda Swinton among a couple others...

[@kristieshorten9984]

Suni Sehz Thanks! Will look her up :)

[@emmawoodhouse6644]

Mr. Armitage this is your moment :) you so deserve this fame....! :DDDDDDDDDDD so cute

[@pumpkins0]

Aww this was the sweetest thing ever.

[@SugarPepperDA]

Thank you Marlise. You did a great job, this is the best interview i've ever seen. Now you and Craig Ferguson are my favorite interviewers. XD I still laughing at the moment when you keep shaking the DVD and he tries to catch it. XD That aways happen to me XP

[@SugarPepperDA]

There will be extras? XD (OMG we want mooooaaarrrrr)

[@perry9873]

Thanks

[@saiphblack8868]

thanks!!!!!!!!!!

[@whereyat89]

Hes smart and sweet and a bit shy. Hes just sooo nice. Thanks Ang.Channel. If I was interviewing him I would be just sort of staring at him and listening to his voice but not really paying attention and someone would have to smack me out if it.

[@ceratium47]

I know Michelle-I cannot believe it myself my jaw dropped....

[@rain011]

btw, dead @ that dorky happy little wave that he gives the tablet at 10:59 XD

[@ameliedube73]

where's the "buns" moments ?? Lovely interview, very good job !!

[@caridadalvarezdiaz1343]

Felicidades Dios te bendiga con amor y paz gracias

[@juliakjetselberg7934]

My goodness, I have long time imagined that he would be absolutely perfect for the role of Richard III and here he says that he wishes to play the part! Could someone please makes this happend!!! (And with me as Elisabeth of York or Anne Neville please ...) And also, I believe he DOES say that he was born on the 22nd of August ... It's probably his wonderful accent that makes the "second" sound like a "seven" ..
