We ALL know that Michael has a secret AO3 account that he uses to read our fanfiction

[Airhead]

It's honestly astonishing how respectful and educated Micheal Sheen is! He's such an amazing actor

[elisakent]

Michael Sheen protector of fanfiction <3

[maffell]

I love him so much. It's so refreshing to see someone actually defending fan culture.

[ineffablemars]

It’s so nice to see him defend fan fiction. And he’s right about people being quick to make fun of it. The actors and creators of BBC Sherlock did that and really crapped on the fans. Good Omens is so much different. The actors (especially Michael) love the fans, love the show, and want to give the fans what we want!

[hey]

Watching this made me realize how few celebrities are actually FOR fan culture instead of against it. Fanfiction literally encourages people to read and write, which is something AMAZING... schools wish they had 1% of that power lol

It's worth noting that Neil Gaiman is also very supportive of fanfiction, so it's not just Michael.

[ihavespoken]

Poor Michael's hair must be destroyed from all that bleach. Casting him and David Tennant as Aziraphale and Crowley was a master stroke by Neil Gaiman. Season 2 was brilliant, it topped season one for me by a long shot.

The Sheen Tenant duo is the best thing that happened to television during the Covid era.

[flusel]

Graham: your fans are very passionate
Michael: let me use this opportunity to tell you all just how amazing fan fiction is and how much I love it

[Leslie]

I would just love to sit and have tea with Michael and David and just listen to them banter back a forth. Heavenly.

[solahola]

I can't imagine anyone better for the Aziraphale role than Michael Sheen. He's brilliant as an actor. But most importantly he is such a respectful and insightful person. He radiates nice energy. No wonder people call him "light and fluffy" cuz he is exactly that 💖

STREAM SEASON 2 GUYS LET’S MAKE SEASON 3 HAPPEN AND GET THE HAPPY ENDING WE DESERVE

[boomgirlbucko]

I'd like a round of applause to whoever raised this fine gentlemen

[Samuel-kuqb]

There are certain actors who deserves a passionate fandom and Michael is one of them. He understands and appreciates his fans in a way that shows how some actors are designed for the cult-like shows.

[tsundereyoongi]

I think he's the only person I've heard who just rolls with fan culture (and is definitely part of it) and it just makes me love him even more. Let the fanfiction continue

[Andrew-Antioch-Kim]

Michael Sheen is such an underrated actor.

Michael as well as Lizzy Caplan had such great on-screen chemistry in Showtime's "Masters Of Sex."

Michael Sheen, taking every single possible opportunity to talk about how amazing fanfiction is:

[Furrina]

Graham has been surprising his guests with their fanfictions since forever, but this is the probably the first time someone is so enthusiastic about it.

[iesika]

Neil Gaiman was once prodded for an opinion on fanfiction from someone who clearly expected him to be against it. His response: "I won the 2004 Hugo Award for Best Short Story for an H. P. Lovecraft /Arthur Conan Doyle mashup fiction, so fanfiction had better be legitimate, because I’m not giving the Hugo back."
