Bold of stephen to assume i didnt find him hot as moriarty

[coffeetea]

"Don't call me father like it doesn't turn you on" I scream every time he says that

[marissasmith]

How dare they devote less than 6 minutes to this man

[drorbedrack]

Andrew Scott: "Anyway, I'll stop talking about Shakespeare"
Everyone : "Please don't"

[kamrunnahar]

"So murderous and terrifying, i can't find that attractive "
- well, whatever floats your boat. 🤣🤣

[evas]

He's extremely hot as Moriarty. He's extremely hot, in general.

[hannahkingston]

His hamlet was some of the best stage acting I’ve ever seen. No one in that room felt those 4 hours. Incredible talent x

[benzaiten]

I feel bad for Andrew Scott, he deserved a more enthusiastic audience.

[underwaterlaser]

I am glad Steven didn’t interrupt Andrew when he talked about Hamlet.

[looseheadtom]

I met Andrew Scott once and I’m very happy to tell you that he was the nicest man in the world.

[dds]

Too short of an interview. I'd liked to have seen more. Thanks though for giving Andrew Scott some press. He's really quite brilliant as an actor.

[DesigNatedAudio]

Is it just me, or does Andrew Scott always leave you wanting more of him?! The man is captivating!

[randomniche]

Colbert: "I can't find that attractive"
Anrew: "well whatever floats your boat"
is basically translation to: "well millions of women around the world are thirsting for that murderous terrifying character but like sure whatever floats your boat"

[taytayqueen]

This man is just incredible. Attractive, extremely intelligent, well spoken and mad talented. How can you NOT love him.

[newsoul]

press team: so we booked you for the late show with stephen colbert to promote this miniseries...

andrew scott: yeah so, anyway, the thing about Hamlet-

[wantingg]

The way his eyes light up while talking about Shakespeare⭐⭐

[taisgrim]

"So murderous and terrifying, I can't find that attractive" Said no tumblr user, ever

[handicui]

I'll watch Andrew Scott man spread for 6 min straight no complaints

[jianbrack]

“They didn’t applaud enough”

Us: too transfixed by Andrew’s face and voice to care

[deathwitheponine]

I travelled from America to see his Hamlet on the West End. It was a night I will never forget. Andrew is a really lovely human being, we need more people like him in this world.
