Um. for those of you not following me on twitter, I was standing next to Aiden Turner from Being Human on the train tonight for a bit.

making way down train, spot v. attractive looking bloke in a plaid shirt with his head down reading something and then brain goes '...hang on, that hair, pose and profile look... ohgod.' And he was reading a script. something about some bloke called Trellio, scene set in a prison. So I stood in the aisle, everyone else going past me, all presuming I'd given up on getting a seat, until I could figure out a way of asking if it was him without sounding like a stalker or tripping over my tongue. (turns out 'Um, excuse me, are you Aiden from Being Human?' works sufficiently)

Yes it was. He was going down to Bristol for the last block of Being Human filming. I went 'oh, cool, hope it goes well.' and got the hell out of dodge.

And, dear reader, he really is that pretty in real life.

Kinda wish i'd taken a surreptitious photo under the cover of checking my twitter.

*Squeeeee!*

I think my brain is still doing this. just imagine if it'd been Russell Tovey.

Mmm pretty.

All I can say to that! heh.

the tongue-tying thing is bloody embarassing, considering how I have bugger all problem chatting to actors in bars or stage door.

ghkdhgldh omg. you are so lucky!

[burntcopper.livejournal.com]

you just don;t expect it on the bloody *train*. Soho and Covent Garden, yes. (I have a talent for nearly running into actors or stepping on their toes)

Just trying to imagine you robbed of speech, by anything.

Nope. Does not compute.

I know! Give me a convention or a stage door or a bar, I'm fine...

[alysscarlet.livejournal.com]

Lucky you! And I'm glad you spoke up. :-)

OMGFLAIL! Aaand that's about as coherent as I'd probably be in his presence (and, yes, multiply that by a thousand for Russell).
