They really struck gold when they cast those two in the leads! Seldom have I seen two actors fit their charachters, and each other, so well balanced as this - and at the same time have such on screen presence and acting talent. Normally, well more usual than not, people like this struggles to work together, panicing that the other will have the better lines or angles. As long as those two stays, and the writers provides the comedy and banter between Merlin & Arthur, this show could run & run.
it's all very amazing if you think about it. here we have Colin barely 22yrs old and fresh out of drama school. I wonder what he had to do to get his first theatre role (in 2007 iirc)? Colin was so lucky with landing this 'Merlin' job. he is from Northern Ireland with a thick Irish accent and lands the title role in a BBC production about an iconic character from the _Matter of Britain_ . and he makes the best of it. within the 1st season he makes so much progress, uses the break to shot _Parked_ , comes back much thinner and kills us with an even cuter Merlin in s2. I love him in everything he does.
@@granville7 I can't believe he's like 22 in this, I'm now 24 and he was younger than I am now in this video, it feels so old 😢 And I'm here in 2022 watching Merlin videos too after I rewatched the series the fourth time! 😍 Best series ever ❤️
I have a HB 'n a BF...my HB's boyfriend. I tell them never 'ta cut their hair...I got my Native American locks, down 'ta my belly...Hot dudes never cut their hair
I think it's really cool how Colin and Bradley didn't have much acting experience before this but now...here they are bathing in glory and hottness, but still are just...so normal! I think the fact that they weren't big time actors, also helped them get into their characters a lot more, so now not only are they Colin and Bradley, they're literally Arthur and Merlin. Which makes my heart swell! :)
he's really one of those few actors who would always look young, in his teens or early twenties, when without facial hair. ... like most other men. But really, the only guys that seem to transform when they shave are Colin Morgan, Bradley James, and Chris Evans?
I've never had a celebrity crush before, I always thought it was stupid to crush on somebody you'll probably never meet. That went out the window after the first episode of Merlin. It's kind of sad, I'll throw myself of a bridge if he asked me to.
Same here, I didn't like the idea of having any "celebrity crush" and thought that it was stupid. But here I am watching any random clip of Colin and falling in love with him over and over again.😅😂❤️
Man! They shaved his side-burns! Plus the mustache and they tamed his hair! They completely changed him! At first when I saw Merlin I thought he was like 16-18 yrs. old. Wow in this he looks his age.
Guh. I see why they gave Colin a bowl cut for the show now. If he was allowed to keep that gorgeous scruffy hair and stubble every viewer would be like "Arthur who?" I mean, Bradley James is gorgeous but Colin is just...goddamn.
I'm not one to swoon over men or remember the names of handsome actors, etc. When someone would ask, "Who is your favorite actor, or, who would you love to kiss" I'd be at a complete loss! I never understood how a woman could be so obsessed over a guy they have never even met....... Then I started watching Merlin. Hahahaha. Id love to have a drink with Colin. He is so endearing.
There is something about Colin who makes him so speciel. I also never had a celeberty cruch, but when I saw Colin my heart was was melted. There is something Colin has, that no one else has.. Arrw my biggest dream is to see Colin in real life :I
Ho scoperto questo telefilm un paio di anni fa e ogni volta che lo rifanno su qualche TV lo rivedo sempre e lo rivedrei sempre. Merlino è semplicemente straordinario perche mi riporta alla mia infanzia dove la mia fantasia galoppava senza sosta ma a parte questo amo questo film perche racchiude tutti quegli ingredienti che ne fanno vibrare gli animi più sensibili e romantici. Cominciando dal castello in francia spettacolare che prima o poi , vorrò visitare. Una colonna sonora sublime dolcissima e maestosa allo stesso tempo. I personaggi che sulle prime non li ritenevo adeguati per la leggenda Artù e Merlino, ma che con il tracorrere Delle puntate sei costretto ad amare per la loro semplicità e bravura . L amicizia di Artù e Merlino è disarmante prende il cuore. Non vorrei mai vedere questi attori in un altro ruolo perché ne rimarrei deluso . E se un giorno capitero a Camelot in quello stupendo castello sognerò la leggenda con i loro volti. Grazie Merlino Artù chissà se un giorno riuscirò a conoscervi , o.... Forse meglio di no
He could easily be a male super model at 0:30 ! Still, he seems so modest about his stunning good looks. We LOVE Merlin in Canada (season 2 is finally airing here).
My God! Sometimes when I'm looking at Collin I can't help to see Benedict Cumberbatch. It's amazing, they look so alike with... the cheekbones and the sort of perfect shaped lips... I think I'm more obssessed with Sherlock and Merlin than what I tought :P
Hmm he's a vegetarian (sp?) so thats why he's so thin and he's allergic to tomatoes. Awww he looks so cute scruffy :3 Well he looks sweet all the time *giggles*
oh my! hello scruffy colin. nice to meet you. :p if ever i DOmeet him i'm going to tell him off. no one NO ONE should look that good clean cut, as a peasent, scruffy. its not fair! dammit! i actually fell off my chair at one point watchingthis. embarresing but true.
Wow. Give him a whispy moustache and side burns and *POOF* -- he's ten years older. You can tell it's mostly girls watching this video and commenting ;) They should have kept his hair longer in the second season, instead of trimming it.
@msmorganwheeler I don't think so, I do indeed fancy Colin, but I'm not bothered if it were so, I have seen their chemistry I wouldn't be too surprised, but I'd rather they didn't, so there'll be more tension on screen. They should wait it out, I always thought their would be a better performance if they weren't dating, because there would be pining and yearning for real. Therefore they are not dating.
How handsome he was. Why did the producers allow them to give Merlin the worst haircut in tv movie history. Will plague the Merlin character for decades
