The panicky, “Can we edit that out?” at the end of the interview is so funny.
He did such a great job as Snow, I know he is in some other things, but Im still excited to see where his career takes him from here
It's those beautiful blue eyes and golden curls that had me rooting for Snow to get his way throughout the entire movie.

Tom Blyth gives me such Freddie Highmore vibes, in the best way possible! He's very disarming in interviews, charming in his awkward but lovable mannerisms, the tone of voice, and they even resemble in the way in which their speaking movements are- and of course they're both Brits- with striking eyes!

i have been following tom blyth since i watched the movie and i am always in awe of his effortless confidence. he knows to stage himself in the crowd, with new and veteran actors, and in these interviews. and i am curious to see him to bloom more in the next years with other works be it in series or movies. he is very smart. wishing you more success tom ♡
He fr let the intrusive thoughts win at the end 😭😭
Tom seems to be really nice and kind..and funny! May he stay clear, humble and healthy!❤

@@user-hx4wf4mg5p It might differ from fan to fan, but I think now real fans would classify being an actual fan if you love the original movies (ep.4-6) and the prequels (ep,1-3). The sequels were not well accepted by great majority of original fans. I could explain it in so much detail but in short, Disney buying the franchise rights and hiring JJ as the director for the sequels were the worst decisions made for most original fans, so nowadays when someone says they are a "star wars fan", they tend to refer to The Force Awakens and, yes, The Mandalorian-- which, you know, the latter isn't bad at all, but it's not... George Lucas original. I'm sure Tom meant that he was an original fan though, so credit to him for being a cool nerd haha.

No adults put me on the horse. When I was about 6 we had a horse in a pasture and there was a huge tree stump out there that I used to get on the horse. Bareback. Many times he bucked and reared and tried to throw me but I don't remember ever falling off. I do remember holding on for dear life though! I had a death grip on his mane. Parents no where in sight. Later in life I realized these were formative events for me...

It makes me so annoyed everytime an American presenter says that he doesn't have an accent. Man, you do. If you speak, an oral language at least, yo do have an accent. If that accent is more standardised, less musical or less distinctive doesn't make it less of an accent.
