Mark Strong!!!!
*
One of life’s purest pleasures is walking into a movie house expecting to see a film starring so-and-so and discovering it actually also stars Mark Strong.
Seriously.
I’ve just watched Kingsman: The Secret Service and while it’s an absolute shame Mark Strong doesn’t get top billing for these things, it’s also such a delight to squeal (silently), “OMG, Mark Strong is in this movie too!”
I feel so strongly about it that I am writing about it in a travel blog.
I wasn’t even a fan until I started seeing him everywhere. Stardust. Robin Hood. Sherlock Holmes. The Eagle. (I mean, I can’t even believe I’ve seen The Eagle, much less found Mark Strong in it.) A host of other films I haven’t seen. And some really good ones. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy! Zero Dark Thirty! The Imitation Game! And now Kingsman.
Seriously, I don’t know what I’d do if I go to London, get on the Tube, and see Mark Strong. Would I be like “OMG, Mark Strong is in the Tube too!”? The surreal-ness would kill me.
a polished version of Merlin! lol 🙂 i love this movie and I love British actors! h-o-t!
Those accents are <3 !
I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He’s talented actor and has a strong screen presence. Did you ever see that amazing car commercial(can’t believe I just wrote that) featuring “British villains”? He’s in it! I’m not sure where t aired outside the US but I just ate it up.

I hope you have a celebrity sighting when you’re in London and fingers-crossed it’s a Mark Strong sighting and it’s not too much to handle! =)
PS cillian murphy lives in Londonsfklsffs
What if you see Cillian Murphy when you’re in London?! Or what if he just happens to visit Ireland when you’re there???
Don’t suggest such situations! Hmmm well letting my imagination run wild as if that will possibly happen(!) I would probably spy on him from a somewhat inconspicuous distance and leave him alone but attempt to sneak a photo it seemed like I wouldn’t be seen! ha!
You know what would be really cool, though? If Cillian Murphy somehow hears that you’re in London AND HE SEEKS YOU OUT.
I bet he will: in the form a restraining order!
Hahahahahahahaha! I wonder if it will be worth it just to get a close encounter. 😀 No but it’ll be cool if he does a Taylor Swift and singles out a few fans.
Oh!! But he does do plays every so often so I do hope he’s doing one in England or Ireland while I’m around because I’d love to go, I have thought about that part.
I hope he does one when you’re there! That would be so cool.
Whoops that is the wrong link! that’s “making of” don’t watch that one! Watch this one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23xzSuWhomQ
When I saw Mark Strong in The Imitation Game, I posted in Facebook that I was forming my own Mark Strong fan club haha, and a friend who lives in the US pointed me to this commercial. He said it aired during last year’s Super Bowl? I love it! Probably the only thing missing is Alan Rickman! His Snape has totally changed the way I imagine saying the word “obviously.” 😀
I support your fan club! yes it was one of the first commercials that aired during that Super Bowl I believe & it was brilliant!
Ob–viously
Haha! How DOES one set up a fan club? 😀 I’ve never joined a fan club in my life but I think Mark Strong should have one! 😀 Actually I’m sure he does have one but I’m not really into groups so I’m just gonna make my own club. 😀
I’m in about 10 of my own private fanclubs when you put it like that. Sometimes it’s the way go! Like what I like as much as I want and that’s that=) But if you ever begin your Mark Strong fan club I’ll support it!
count me in for the Mark Strong fan club 😀
Hahaha! You know I might actually create one one of these days. 😀 😀 You should be the fan club’s official photographer. You can follow Mark Strong around, like everywhere he goes, and then he’ll hate us. 😀
