Pictures Speak Louder Than Words

55 Reasons Challenge

6.) THIS THING where they have one hand on their face and it’s like, peekaboo handsome.

55 Reasons British Men are Bloody Gorgeous

 

4.) the fact that they never. Wear. Bro tanks.

 

The basis for this reason seems to be that British men generally dress in a dignified manner. so my examples are going to center around layers.

 

something that makes Richard particularly attractive to me is the way he gives his characters so many layers.

 

see how I tied that in there?

 

Ha! I did it again!

 

okay, okay. moving on…

 

okay, I”ll stop.

 

we’ve seen Lucas in a “Bro tank”

 

and John Porter too

 

even Richard himself (sort of)

 

I fail to see the negativity in Bro tanks.

 

 

what the…? did that photoshoot take place in a walk-in freezer?! it’s a bit much.

 

…and that’s the opposite. what? there are layers there!

 

at least I’m not cold anymore. maybe those British men are onto something

3.) the way they manage confidence without cockiness

Confidence can be a tricky thing. Sometimes those who appear the most confident are actually very insecure, and those who hang back from the spotlight, surprisingly have a strong sense of self. Richard has a nice balance of the two.

I got that boom boom, that (both genders) chase

He often appears relaxed and at ease, but sometimes little clues to the contrary peek through: the nervous clenched fists or the vulnerable hands-in-pockets.

yeah, my (Mum) she told me don’t worry about your size

I think if Richard knows the kind of atmosphere he’s going into beforehand, then he is more able to embrace and relish the experience.

all the right junk in all the right places

At other times, it’s really helpful to have something to hide behind

’cause every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top

Richard is quite serious about his craft. When he’s focused and unaware, the confidence is there for all to see.

I can shake it shake it, like I’m supposed to do

this applies to “Photoshoot Richard” as well

I like how Twitter is bringing “Playful Richard” more to the forefront too.

if you got beauty beauty, just raise ’em up

In any case, Richard seems to have a handle on how this fame thing works. There is a special confidence in owning who you are, in all your different forms.

55 Reasons

I came across this post on BuzzFeed a couple of weeks ago that listed various reasons why British Men are gorgeous. It’s cute and filled with gifs galore, my kind of post! and as I read through each point, I realized that pretty much all of them could be directly applied to Richard. Challenge accepted…

 

1.) That thing they do where they dip their chin a little and look up at you.

I’m quite familiar with this gesture because Harry seems to be the king of it!

Harry’s not the only RA character that busts that move though, I’m almost certain that all of them have used it at one point or another.

It’s understandable, since Richard himself seems to be so fond of it
