Richard Armitage World Tour: the North American Leg

  So this is to be the Richard Armitage World Tour: The North American leg which to a certain extent left me feeling kind of flat. But then I guess New Zealand and Japan premieres spoiled me and I was expecting something along those line for the presentation of the premieres here in North America, especially New York which fell more than a bit flat. That might as well have been parents going to see their kids first night performance of 'The Hobbit'. Talk about having the proverbial stick up the butt, but that's just my opinion.

Anyway... HELLO FROM TORONTO!

A still from the Marilyn Denis Show in Toronto on December 3,2012


The interview from the Marilyn Denis Show:





According to Yahoo! News Canada, Richard caused a bit of a stir by showing up early at Toronto's Union Station on December 3,2012.






Then there is the head-cam interview from Toronto's KISS 92.5FM  with Dammit Maurie








Posing on the red carpet in Toronto and using a tie clip. Wonder if he owns a tie stick or tie pin? Just to change things up a bit and it doesn't have to be fancy, maybe just a nice little gold piece.



  Finally from WBToronto on youtube: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Union Station Takeover




  So I do believe that is it from the December 3,2012 Toronto, Canada leg of the Richard Armitage World Tour. Next up New York.

  With New York's premiere being on December 6, 2012 the days leading up to had to be filled in with media stops Martin Freeman was on David Letterman, Sir Ian McKellen was on Live! with Kelly and Michael and Richard got stuck on the fourth hour of the Today Show on December 5 with Hoda and Kathie Lee. Or is it Kathie Lee and Honda? Anyway... Really?! Well, I guess it was better than Richard not being on American television at all.



 Stills from the interview Richard looking like Richard in a black leather jacket and a hoodie. And yes they're the same but it's Richard so it can be double your fun. OMGuyed! What if there were two of him?! Could we even handle that?





Now we come to December 6,2012 and the New York premiere of The Hobbit: an Unexpected Journey. There was no trumpeting of the stars and the movie. It was more like drop them off at the back door and let them fight their way in. Not saying that is how it really was just the given impression. The only video of the premiere that I know of came from a friend of RAFrenzy's iPad and Frenz was nice enough to post it on her blog for the rest of us to see.

Of course there are some nice pics that seemed to take forever to start coming out of The Hobbit premiere. Richard is wearing a Michael Bastian suit to the premiere.



Armitage, Richard Armitage

I think that should do for this leg of Richard's World Tour and if things on this post seem to be a bit scattered and shky please forgive me, i've been sick all week and pretty much missed everything.
