A wonderful evening with
#RichardArmitage
and
#HarlanCoben
at the
#StrandBookstore
in NYC on Oct 20. Not much new about the genesis of
#Geneva
and Rich's writing process but some interesting questions from the audience, incl. how a plotline in
#Spooks
influenced his debut novel.
Asked during Saturday's Q&A what he wants audiences to take away from
#TheBoyintheWoods
,
#RichardArmitage
said of the real-life
#Max
, "Despite what he went through he's had an extraordinary life, taking every opportunity he's been given. It reminds us that we should do the same."
I'm not cheating on Richard, but I just started watching
#TheDiplomat
and I have to know -- where is
#RufusSewell
hiding the fountain of youth? He looks as young today as he did 22 years ago in
#AKnightsTale
. 🧐👀😳
Chatting after the event in NYC last evening.
#RichardArmitage
had met
#MaxSmart
in person for the first time just before the screening.
#RebeccaSnow
took very good care of Max, repeating questions for him and generally being supportive. Obviously a strong bond between them. 🤗
Super-slick new promo out now for
#RichardArmitage
's debut novel,
#Geneva
. Complete with memory game, blurbs by well-known authors, and Rich reading an extract from the book. Great way to build excitement around the print release this Oct. 🤩
#RichardArmitage
talks about his new book
#TheCut
today (Aug 15) on
#ThisMorning
. Shared some sweet memories, including one of coming home from working in the circus and his Mum making him Shepherd's Pie because he was so thin. 🤗 Thanks to Kerrie Jackson for OG photos.
The best moment of the
#NTAs
imo.
#RichardArmitage
accepting the unexpected outpouring of affection from
#SamThompson
with good humor. Even singing along. Another reason RA fans love him! ❤️
Besides the impromptu serenade, this was my fave sequence of shots from today's
#RichardArmitage
interview with
#AngelaScanlon
(bless her for bringing out the wild child in him). What other celebrity would willingly show us his crazy side like this?! 🤣
#VirginRadioUK
Would it surprise you to know that
#RichardArmitage
has played the role of father or father figure no less than 21 times? Happy
#FathersDay
to all who celebrate. 💙
#RichardArmitage
looked exceedingly handsome in this pinstripe suit we've seen before (at Harrogate?) but with a plain white tee and white trainers. Note the striped socks that continue the theme of the outfit. Who says he can't dress himself well?! 😉

#RichardArmitage
looks somewhat puzzled during an otherwise pleasant conversation with colleagues before the evening turns into a nightmare for his character, Dr Matthew Nolan, in
#RedEye
.
#ITV1
#ITVX
Hands down,
#RichardArmitage
and his sonorous baritone can do no wrong. Whether narrating his own novel,
#Geneva
, or lending his distinctive voice to the work of other authors, his performances are always memorable. In a word, brilliant! 📚🎙️🎧
From his home studio in London, a few more shots of
#RichardArmitage
talking about the inspiration for
#TheCut
, the power and intimacy of audiobooks, how he sets goals, and much more in this
#BestsellerExperiment
podcast.
OTD last year,
#RichardArmitage
received an honorary doctorate from the
#UniversityofLeicester
. His speech was filled w/ memories of his Mum, a funny story re: his cello playing & advice for the grads that feels like a roadmap for how he's lived his life.

From the
#Unquestionable
interview, a mere fraction of the expressions on the face of
#RichardArmitage
, who spoke eloquently on several subjects, including the importance of funding for the arts.
"My goal in my creative life is to give everyone, especially non- or reluctant readers, an experience that will hook them for a life of reading and listening. I want to be one of those authors who always takes care of the reader." 📚

During the panel discussion for

Screenshots of

#ITV
#Oscars
show. Looked great (courtesy of
@KennyHoStylist
