The Hobbit Panel Q&A with Dean O'Gorman and Aidan Turner at Boston Comic Con - Part 1 

I feel like this crowd is making them feel really awkward. They seem new to the whole "fangirl" thing. Like they aren't used to getting so much attention. It's sweet.

These guys seem like so much fun to be around. Would love to just casually hang out with them. And even though I do acknowledge how beautiful they both are, I also agree the fangirling in some cases is absolutely riddiculous and pathetic. Like, where the hell is your dignity, girls?

"My mom warned me not to say this" FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WILL YOU ALL LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHERS CHILDREN I MEAN JESUS

OMG, I love these guys! I love Aidan's smile, it just lights up his face, and he's almost always smiling. He also has beautiful eyes, they always have a sparkle to them. He's such a wonderful actor!

Dude it's moments like these that I start to feel sorry for actors. Luckily someone got back on the relevant topics

love how they remembered the names of the fans, really awesome of them :P

These guys are just great. I don't think I could sit in a room full of people whilst the fan girls laughed at EVERYTHING I did like "*giggle* he's drinking water OMFG giggle giggle giggle" it would do my head in. Only the plus side, they both seem pretty chill and down to earth which you don't get to see in many actors anymore :) Kili and fili are my favourites !!

that girl at 12 mins.....shiiiit the second hand embarassment. i had to stop the video, walk away, breathe, then come back.

Can we please all stop assuming girls only watch The Hobbit because they're fangirling over the actors? Also female, I love all of Tolkien's works and I love the films, but I'm not into that. I think it's more accurate to say this is what *both genders* of people *at comic con* are like, thanks internet

They handled every question with class and suavity-- even though most of the questions (especially from females) were... horrifyingly embarrassing to have to watch/listen to. They handled that so well. I respect their charisma as well as their acting ability now.

The OTPs that are made on Tumblr and on fan fictions STAY on Tumblr and on fan fictions.

2:51 Oh my God!I couldn't stop laughing! So what Aidan practically meant is "One does not simply attempt to out-majesty Thorin Oakenshield..." Love those two xD Thanks for uploading this!!

I'm so in love with Dean and I just love their humor.

My god. Do many fangirls! Dean and Aidan were awkwardly laughing like "heheh *whispers* Dean lets find an escape route!" Although if I were there, id be just as fangirly (is that even a word?!) If not more fangirly (it's now a word) than them. Aidan and Dean looked so awkward! They handled it well though.

Omg,Aidan is soo adorable

literally so in love with Aidan Turner

Like seriously Aidan is just a dream.. I love him

I wish they had assigned people as monitor(s) for the questions like they do at other conventions when actors attend. Basically, people would line up, tell the monitor their question and the monitor would either approve it and let the person ask the actors or disapprove it and not let them ask. It's mainly to avoid people asking awkward, too personal, or uncomfortable questions/requests. Majority of the time it's "Can I have a hug?" or the more awkward questions that wouldn't be allowed to ask. I've had friends at conventions that had really good questions before that just barely missed their chance to ask because the panel time was taken up with "Can I have..." or "Can you do..." questions or spending the time to avoid awkward questions while trying to be polite. (Which Dean and Aidan did very well when face with it, I am very impressed.) Suggestion to Boston Comic Con, question monitors are not only good for actors (and also makes them feel comfortable) but for other fans who miss asking their questions due to awkward ones taking up time.

So much second hand embarrassment. Bless these guys, they are so adorable

"amazing gift" and Dean spitting out his water made my day.

Omg this crowd is extremely obnoxious. Especially after the 10:45 mark, jeeze. Good on these guys for being good sports.

that 70% of the internet question... i cringed so hard...

Their personalities are hilarious! They remind me of my own teenage sons, always joking and cutting up.

They were both great as Fili and Kili

How does one even be as attractive as they are, like damn son.

Sorry why is everyone being mean to LOTR/Hobbit fangirls? I'm proud to be a fangirl. Don't judge us on what the samll minority of us do. If people want to ship people, let them. But i don't think they should have said that to Aidan and Dean, keep that in your head.

Are your characters ever going to be as majestic as Thorin hahahhahahahah

i have absolutely nothing against people doing their own thing, it's none of my business, but for the love of all that is sacred, don't go to a q and a just to ask something that you know will make somebody uncomfortable, they don't deserve to be treated like that, just allow them to remain blissfully in the dark and refrain from creeping them out. (sigh) now that's over with well done these two for handling such an embarrassing situation like pros, you could almost see the silent dialogue in their body language, Aidan looked like he wanted to panic before Dean stepped in with the sarcasm, Dean himself almost looked quite amused to sort out the problem. Again, please don't go around freaking out innocent actors. and lastly before i end this lecture, isn't it great to see people whose characters are friends and who're also friends in real life?

i felt so much second hand embarrassment when the girl asked when they were getting married...

Thank you so much for posting this! I can't get enough of Dean and Aidan, they're just too damn amazing! :-)

can I just say AIDAN..

Thanks so much for posting. Must say, I feel a bit embarrassed re: some of the audience behavior here, though. I'd *like* to think that a US audience could be more respectful. Sorry--jmo. The guys really get extra gold stars for being so patient and so very kind.

"Well they carry the pipe weed" I was laughing so hard when watching this whole thing and i was supposed to be asleep.

02:38 "Hi, uh, I was wondering, uh, do you think, uh.."- "No". Hahaha I guess you said that, that made me laugh. I must admit some of the questions were so bad, it was a bit painful to watch. But thanks for sharing anyway :-)

I love how Aidan loves babies and kids.

they're both so hot omg! :D *____*

They're both so goofy I love them.

This whole interview made me laugh like crazy but there is one question I always hated hearing in an interview... When they ask two guys about the whole "OTP" between two male actors... I don't know.. It just seems so rude and inappropriate.. I have nothing against gays srsly, I have my own gay OTPs but insinuating that to actors or actresses who probably is privy to those sort of things... It's really pissing me off.. Luckily Aidan and Dean simply dealt with it with a grain of salt... Love these two^^

I drank a bit of powerade right before the parasites question and about spit it right back out such good timing

I don't get why people keep asking actors - especially non-british actors if they like Dr Who?! Whaaat is the point? They've got nothing to do with it and the closest they have been to it is a tv without color and Sylvester.

I

Can someone list the times the OTP fangirl question took place so that I can skip it...? I get second hand embarrassment so easily that I can't even bring myself to watch it, but I want to watch the rest of the Q&A because these guys are adorable and hilarious.

OMG. This was hilarious. I love their sense of humor

People keep saying that this Aidan Turner is me...But he can't be...His hair isnt glorious like mine.

Aidan turner

man i laughed so much Dean and Aidan are so funny :D but the little girl at 25:00 was really cuuuuuuute :3

Thanks SO much for putting this up, love those two:D

Thank you! The other copy floating around on here is just a bit too quiet for me, so this is really fantastic.

wow I would love to get a "happy birthday" from dean and aidan!

awesome video!!!

favs

but really, the question about OTP was absolutely inappropriate -.- i absolutely have no objections against gayness but to ask an actor, who acts the BROTHER of another actor, if they will get married is totally wrong and NONE of the fan's business. If two actors will get married then they will publish it if they want to but did this girl or woman really expect an answer like "oh yes, we're already engaged and think about marriage"? to ask a question like this and causing the actors to get uncomfortable is just bad and disrespectful. that's just what i think about that.

Haha this is soo funny, and awsome XD Im like crying from it. XD

What did Aidan say about the piece of paper? What did he say someone wrote on it, I could not understand what he said? This is the best comic con panel vid I've ever seen..so funny and good and the quality and sound is very good. Thanks to the poster.

American Accents.... -_- Whenever I get sick of my nasily Kiwi accent, I listen to American's and I'm greatful for a month (no offence to you 'Mericans out there :-P

dean is so funny

Sé que es mucho pedir pero...pueden ayudarme poniendo los subtitulos? Puedo leer ingles, pero no entiendo mucho cuando hablan todos juntos...please!!!

I'm seeing all the comments saying stuff like, "Omg the fans were so rude!" Can anyone tell me where the fans were rude? I did hear some questions that had nothing to do with the books or the movies or their characters, and I did get confused, but that's all I got from this. Also, I think people shouldn't full out judge the way people react to meeting their idols. You never know, maybe some of these girls have been watching their work for years and that could be why they're crying. It's understandable why people cry when they meet their idols; because they've probably only have ever seen them through screens, and to physically see your idol in person is a lot for some people. I know I would probably tear up and stutter out of nervousness, and probably cry hours after... but I wouldn't have a panic attack as some of these girls were claiming.(Again, people are different. Some people have more anxiety to meeting their idols than others.) I do believe there are boundaries though when it comes to questions and how some people react. So, where specifically are the fans being as rude as the comments are claiming? All I really got was a couple fans made some comments, but that's about it. P.S: Dean and Aidan did "handle" the crowd well.

Adorable!

Wow, there are some seriously mean comments going around. Worse than usual. :(

I feel sorry for these guys! Imagine you're there to promote your hard work and potential fans ask ignorant questions... Not really fans at all. Just sheep. But Turner and O'Gorman handled it all with class and humour. These twats of audience members were lucky.

Sorry, but... I really hate when someone mention gay couples or something like when it's about the history of Tolkien. It's an amazing history with full of true friendship, respect and human values. It's not about the gayness! Never were and never will. It's about friendship when there were true people without fake. There are fangirls who can't understand the values of the story and I really feel sorry for them because it means they are so poor. Oh, don't get me wrong! There's nothing wrong with being gay. That's all.

When the girl asked ''when do you plan on getitng married'' I didn't know she meant that they should get marrie dot each other, I thought it was just in general, to anyone.

someone should screen the questions in these sessions like, make a full-time job out of it -i'd actually volunteer to do it, no payment other than the actors being comfortable required, but y'know. halfway 'round the globe and all that-

I'm not sure of what will be on the third movie but I've read the book and I suppose on the third movie, Smaug's attack on Lake Town will be there (well duh) and there is still a goblin war. Don't forget, when Gandalf was captured, he saw hundreds of orcs marching for war ;D

01:08 I think it isn't Filis sword because it has been buried with him

i am sure they know the audience just love them, i kinda like the easy going vibe of this panel tho, i have a feeling they enjoyed too. i don't know where the embarrassment is >_>

I'd love to meet these guys :)

oh....look so fun

Damn! That's some darn suspicious bed hair guys... ;-)

what was aidan laughing at in the beginning?

lol @ aidan's party cup hahaha

9:13 I have that argument with people too XD

What? What kind of shite was that? 70% of the internet?

10:45 ROUND ONE!

hE HAS A SLURPEE CUP H E L P

Wow...worst Fans ever...

Oh wow the last answer xD

I have the dame dream :')

I'm german so I didn't understand everything and I guess I also didn't get the point why you are all so outraged about something a fangirl said. Is it because someone asked when the two will getting married? I would be very grateful if someone could explain it to me!

ITS PRONOUNCED SM-AW-G!!!!!!

They are both so charming and nice! But these fangirls really annoy me...

What the fuck was the Gaelic question? "Do you speak your native language? Yes? Wanna hear me completely mangle it? My great great grandmother's aunt was from Ireland!"

What were they laughing at at the start?

0:44 what was in the paper that aidan showed?

Who can help me.. What does the t-shirt say??

How much can those guys drink?!

Hi! Could please someone tell me which is the question in 7:40? I can't understand. Thanks! ^^

OK, so this may be an annoyingly common question, but how does a fan find a panel like this to go to? I would love to find one myself, finally, and go, but I have no clue how. Any advice from someone who has?

From 24:40, what is a man's question? I dont know why Adian, Dean, and people are laughing so hard. My English listening is not that great, so pls help me :)

what the girl says in the minute 12:08? SOMEONE PLEASE!!!!

12:00 that woman's qs made me cringe...why would u ask that

aidan ! ya sexxxxxy feller......xoxox

UGH someone needs to tell some of the more obnoxious fans there about tumblr, so they can get all of their opinions out without making the Hobbit fandom seem like a network of pervs. I get so embarrassed when they ask questions like that... :/
