Those of you who know me will know I have a thing for Allan Hyde. (Yeah, all right, shut up.)

Well, a few weeks ago, thanks to the wonderful staff at AllanHyde.com and the organisers of the Vampire Ball, the video-tastic [livejournal.com profile] jelly_baby23 and I got a chance to meet and interview him.

Clearly, I'm no pro: it's unlikely Mike Wallace ever asked about a favourite porridge recipe (luckily for you that's been edited from this version), and it's doubtful Kate Adie ever gazed into anyone’s eyes in order to see if all the fanfic authors got the colour right. (They did.) Thankfully, I also had some legitimate questions given to me to ask him.

So, here's the gorgeous Godric and my stupid transatlantic accent.

Note: spoilers for True Blood, Season 5

Lucky lady! And it sounds professional to me! OMG he's so cute and animated. It's so cool to see him beyond Godric. Thanks for sharing!

We're both so chatty - I talk tonnes in RL - we could have been sat there all day.

That was completely awesome! You must have been so excited. ;) I'm not in the fandom even though I enjoy the series but it was an interesting interview to see all the same.

I'm assuming then you also edited out the bit where you propositioned him, he accepted, and your room mate had to spend a cold and lonely night camped on a couch in the hotel bar, occasionally being groped by mascara wearing goth types.

I had my own room, remember? I was trying to get YOU to come along to share my queen-sized bed.

I thought you ended up with someone else along! LOL

I doubt the lad would have survived both of us in one bed - I cough, and snore (sometimes) and wriggle a lot. Come to think of it, you got out of it easy!

*smooch*

See icon. Sans the coughing. And the snoring. Just the wiggling.

Is it bad that I just woke the cat up because I was laughing so hard while reading this comment?

Oi! See if I ever give these two back to you! (Actually, you can have them; they're covered in modelling glue. Don't ask.)

Shit, wrong icon.

Hopefully we'll get the opportunity to do it again next year! ;-)

We were so lucky to be able to do this, even if I was so nervous I can't remember half of what went on before the interview started. :-) I seem to remember talk of robots, chocolates, his no-longer there six-pack and then it all goes blurry and all I see are his lips which I couldn't stop staring at. :D

I HOPE SO! It was so much fun!

I was thinking about the six-pack discussion earlier (like you do...) We should have asked him to prove that he'd lost it :)))

I also remember him being delighted with the shirt and the robot and having the obligatory 5-minute "chocolate discussion":

"Have one."

"I don't want to take the ones you like best."

"Oh don't worry, I like them all..."

Etc, etc, etc.

Then I remember thinking that this has to be one of the most surreal momements of my life. I mean, honestly, could I have been any more of a dweeb?

Yeah, mouth and eyes...mmmmmm. And hands, I was looking at those too.
