only_jay Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Watched it last night as I recorded it... Was interesting to see a celebrity taking an interest in the world of Cons, seemed like a nice guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveamyadams Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Tom seems genuine, nice guy. I cringed though when the woman fan Tina said she had no children and Tom and the potter actors were like her family. It made fans lives look a little empty trying to fill it up with something you can't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charmer Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I thought he was very honest with his views and it was an interesting insight into the more dedicated fans out there. It did make me wonder how many other celebs could be secretly dressed as cosplayers though, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrong Name Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) I thought he was very honest with his views and it was an interesting insight into the more dedicated fans out there. It did make me wonder how many other celebs could be secretly dressed as cosplayers though, lol!I think a fair few have, especially in the states. I remember seeing that Bryan Cranston went round a con in a Walter White cosplay (he had a full head mask on). Loads of people had picks with him as a cod player only to have it revealed at the Breaking Bad talk that it actually was Bryan! It's a good way for them to check out the con without being mobbed by fans. P.S. I didn't watch the show but will check it out from what you guys have said.

KingRichard76 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 HERE BE SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE YET TO WATCH IT I thoroughly enjoyed this programme and found Tom to be a very genuine fellow which is what you'd want from a person known to many, it just so happens that I know both Tina and the guy with the Harry Potter tattoo, in fact we were camped out in Trafalgar Square for the last Harry Potter prem- its fair to say though that both Tina and Rob are much bigger Potter fans than I but Tina is a very sweet lady and I'm very happy for her good fortune as was evident in the programme. Think it was also nice to show conventions from ANOTHER perspective, from the celebritys perspective and what he (whom in my opinion did seem a bit like a deer caught in headlights) at certain points and you can certainly see why, especially when he met that dear sweet girl who suffered from depression, so much of what she said is so true and it was very brave of her to say so. I thought the guy in New York was awesome, who had met many a star and had selfies with Hugh Jackman, Bradley Cooper etc such a really nice and genuine guy and that look on his face (of pure elation) after meeting Rupert Grint and getting the selfie with him Rupert and Tom, I think I speak for many of us when I say that we've had that moment when our lives have suddenly stepped up a gear as it were when we've had a Fan interaction like that.

toria Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I really enjoyed this, and i think it is great to show this side of fans. The guy with all the Harry Potter in his basement I think was a great example, (i found his video a little cringe worthy) but it just shows the stereotype put on super fans, and actually they are down to earth lovely people. I also liked the fact it showed how people have been so effected by Harry Potter and it can at times save people... Tom seemed like a lovely person and I am glad he wanted to find out more about his fans! Also i kept thinking in the whole thing, GOD HE LOOKS LIKE Aaron Paul and when i googled them, it is quite uncanny lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minchb Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Loved this.It provided a positive outlook on this hobby which I believe people really needed to see, to gain understanding of why we do it and enjoy it so much!

Sassy1988 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Just managed to catch the ending of this programme pitty missed it again lol From what I did see of it though it was rather interesting to watch, love programmes like this though for many different reasons some of which have already been mentioned by others Makes me feel a bit more scared/nervous when near other cosplayers now though as you just never know who you will bump into lol Hopefully it will be on again would love to watch it from the beginning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumper8 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I agree that Tom came across very well and he was very nice with Tina. It was fun to see "backstage" with Captain Kirk, Freddy Kreuger and the Hulk all enjoying a lunch-break together! I did admit when the Hobbit fan was being interviewed and it cut to a full-body shot I couldn't help laughing at his feet...sorry Bilbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
