Freddie Highmore Thinks American Dating is Weird

[keepXonXrockin]

I love how flustered he gets as he recalls getting lured into a date when he thought he was just agreeing to some casual kayaking

[TheWWEfanatic]

He is like that guy that apologizes to you when YOU bump into him ..

[anneotherday]

He and Timothée are the definition of “I want to marry you but also protect you from this cruel world.” Both so sweet, endearing, well-spoken, and adorably awkward

[ajtony]

He's like a 50 year old soul trapped in the body of a man in his 20's, with the face of a 12 year old.

[aliceinwonderlin]

I absolutely adore him. I ran into him and a costar in a theatre once and he held the door open for me before we left and smiled at me, I was absolutely flabbergasted.

[HighFlyinAFGuy]

That’s the most adorably awkward 27 year old I’ve ever seen.

[Withjoyfulsenescence]

Hollywood, I swear if you ruin the innocence and gentleman-ways of this sweet sweet boy... I will bring the full wrath of my commentary prowess on you. Lol 😆

[cosmosrunner]

Bates motel is one of the best and most underrated shows.

[piaandluna]

He is an intellectual, well spoken, and extremely talented actor. Excited to see what roles he will venture in next.

[EleanorH]

he's right tho, emma watson said a similar thing once. north americans seem to rush into a date so quickly and are super open to a date any time whereas in the UK we have to build that up for weeks/months lmao

[freddiemercuryevr]

Freddie is one of the most talented actors ever! And also, a sweet, funny guy...

[alysonpetrie]

I haven’t herd him talk with his accent since he was like 12

[ramziiiii]

This dude speaks English and arabic and Spanish and french and other languages I forgot lol

[amerism]

His quick switch to a american accent when saying “he you wanna go kayaking?” TALENT

[jscorpio]

Freddie Highmore sounds like a name that a character in a 50’s TV show would have.

[lanceycharles]

He so cute and awkward
“I don’t know what to say” awee

[XhosaShinobi]

Jimmy's right, it's 100% guaranteed now that they'll put him on a kiss cam.

[Venus-pdml]

He looks like an adult child, whatever that means.

[WeerdMunkee]

Dating? Americans don’t date anymore. Everyone just “hooks up” then pretends they’ve been together for years. 😆

[emilyplantz]

Freddie: Speaks fairly calmly about confusing kayaking date.


Also Freddie: Listen to me, getting all worked up about this.


He's so British, it hurts.
