This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite pictures of Robert Carlyle. EVER.
Let us count the ways:
– Lovely, long coat? Yes.
– Shiny, fluffy hair? Yes.
– Specs? Mmmmm…yes.
– Waistcoat? YES.
– Scruff? YES.
– Open collared shirt? YES! Is it getting hot in here?
– Tight jeans? OH, YES. Definitely hot in here.
I think my work here is done. Time to open up the wine and make some dinner! 🙂
DON’T FORGET THE STUDDED BELT.
You know it’s a good pic when you just hear me say “oh my!” as it appears on my screen. And then you hear from the other room, “Who is it this time, Robert Carlyle or Jason Isaacs?” 😂
“I’m a massive Rumbelle. I have to be a Rumbelle. Because I was in that episode with them on four, and that performance… Like Emilie’s scene with Bobby. I was gone. I was talking to Bobby about it the day after they filmed that, and he was like ‘I was trying to keep it together, I just couldn’t keep it together’. Because they’ve known each other for like seven years, Bobby and Emilie. And just to do that scene together, and kind of, that final farewell… he just said he lost it. He was a mess.”

#GODDAMN IT THIS IS THE ONE TWEET I CARED MOST ABOUT #I NEED TO KNOW CARLYLE #DO YOU KNOW HOW AWKWARD IT IS TO MAKE UP NAMES FOR HIM IN FANFICTION? #IT IS THE WORST #GIVE ME HIS GODDAMN NAME SO I CAN CONTINUE WRITING DIRTY THINGS WITH YOUR CHARACTER #THANKS
Wasn’t there something going around about it possibly being Eli? Which just doesn’t fit at all. I hope it’s not something I hate if they ever do reveal it. Not that it matters anymore. Hey, how about Murdoch? Reverse the first 3 letters and you’ve got “Rum”. And it sounds sort of tough and threatening, like his persona was supposed to be.
Did you guys ever find out what his first name is?
Nope, he was never given one. Bobby joked once (at a convention, I think) that it was “Barbara”. I’m not sure what he was thinking when he answered this.
This is why you should ask OPEN questions, not closed ones. “What is Mr Gold’s first name?” etc.
Although having said that, I don’t want to know. Whatever they picked would be wrong. I love that the fandom has given him so many names (although I can’t read fics with certain names, but that’s just me being a weirdo)
