My favorite thing about Rufus

[dippyponge]

I agree with everything said here.

I also love the fact that he doesn't expect any special treatment, he talks to his fans as if he knows them personally and to him, nothing you say if stupid.
I also love that he hates it when interviewers ask obvious questions (and it shows) but is in his element when asked an unusual question.
I love that he loves his food and he isn't afraid to admit it and that he hasn't been sucked into the artificial world of showbiz.

That's always so hilarious to watch - just remember "No Ikea"

You're so right about the rest, too!

Most of you have probably seen this--it's the long "Extra" interview with Rufus when he was filming the "Eleventh Hour," but it's a great example of what Dippy and KMK are talking about about--his obvious impatience with stupid interviewers (and boy, was this guy stupid!), and the way he perks up when a good question is asked.

What can I say more, I would repeat everything.

I like his:
- humour (I love the British humour!)
- /smile
- voice
- personality
- priceless, funny faces
- eyes
- hair
- body

...EVERYTHING. He's unique and not a guy like Brad Pitt or George Clooney (I can't stand them!)
He behaves like a normal man without any "star or celebrity"- attitude and that's why we are his
fans! Right?

I watched the interview, thank you rueful, and I
must say the last question was sooo stupid and
also very embarassing and Rufus face is priceless
as usual when someone ask him things like that.

Great find. Thanks.

He is priceless, so real.

[kissmekate]

Great to watch how the stupid interviewer makes him all itchy and fidgety And I love his dry, witty humour.

Thanks for the link!

[germanlady]

Just love the interview. Thank you so much, Rueful.
, can't get enough of Rufus...

[vmaciv]

I love the way he treats his fans. His willingness to do less popular roles because they are what being an actor is all about and the time he spends with his son.

I also admire his ability to change his life. I think that is so important. I believe it gives him what we love most his character.

Thanks so much rueful!

That's a really interesting interview!

I can't get the bloody interview to work....

My favourite things about Rufus:

-Hair
-Eyes
-Whole face
-His teeth!!
-Fashion sense
-Acting
-voice
-EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM!!!

He is just beautiful, and a brilliant actor (Shakespeare level -whistles- I wish I was that good!!! I could be... One day...) He seems to be able to characterise in anything and everything... And he just seems to fit with everyone... He tended to get typecast cause of his looks, but he has shown over the years that he can do anything!! He also is just so real as a person, he is not an actor per-se, he doesn't behave like one... He's just an ordinary guy who loves acting and happens to be brilliant at it!!

Thanks for posting Rueful. I hadn't seen this before. I loved the first comment - "I had no choice " and those folded arms. Something tells me he wasn't over the moon about doing this interview

After the final question I think we can see why ;D

[Petruchio - Good God]

I love all of this man... and I'm totally agree with all of your words....

[kissmekate]

I've looked at quite a lot of pics during the last weeks and find the little laugh lines around his eyes extremely endearing

[kygal]

EVERYTHING! I have always loved his eyes, even the lazy eye...it makes him unique. Lots of people are physically beautiful (and he is), but what I see in his personality sets him apart. He seems so humble, kind, and friendly!

[GreenEyesToo]

Thanks for re-posting that interview, Rueful - I remember the disucussions at the time about his closed body language at the start. The interviewer was a bit of a paradox, I thought, with some really good questions and some REALLY stupid ones!

Personally, I'd like to see more of Rufus's "inner silliness"!
