He can blinking blink as much as he blinking likes in my book cos he's blinking GORGEOUS :O)

oh abso-blinking-lutely!!! if you bat your lashes in time with him you won't even notice
I will have to re-watch all his other stuff tho, just to find out if it's an actor or a character thing. Poor me, 20 hours RA? That's tough but someone has to do it... the sacrifices you make

Thanks TygerBright for searching those vids, I really *haven't* notice how much he blinks.
By 'eyelashbattingmanoeuvre' I understood as when he bends down a little his head closes his eyes for 2 seconds and looks up. Sometimes he does it without bending down his head.
I've tried to look up for vid, I think there are others that illustrate it better but this is what I found

Like I said, I love him dearly, and all in all he's my favourite RA character, but sometimes I feel like shouting at him "stop doing it!".. maybe it's a nervous tick brough back from Russia.. you know, getting all that water in your eyes, like.
HAHAHAHA!!!
Hmm maybe it's pertinent to his character portrayal - a non-verbal clue that he is deceiving everyone.
Actions speak louder than words!

..he's not deceiving me.. only distracting

Well, if it really is the case, I'd argue that he shouldn't play poker with such a tell as that. Although he doesn't seem to do it when he lies to someone's face, so maybe if he IS blinking then you know he has a good hand.
And that last bit made several of you cast your minds into the gutter, didn't it?
RE: Richard Armitage - Nia M - 28-01-2010 05:33 PM
Of course not...
RE: Richard Armitage - kirmostar - 28-01-2010 06:44 PM
Maybe he wears contacts!
