“I finished drama school in July of 2007,” James recalled in a recent phone interview. “And by January, February of 2008, I had been cast in ‘Merlin.’ I consider myself extremely fortunate to have landed a job like this straight out of school.”
“Mind you, my friends were a little weirded out by this situation,” he continued. “They found it extremely odd to see me on TV every Saturday night. But they’ve since calmed down and realize that I’m still the same old Bradley, that guy who tells those awful jokes.”
“So unless I go out strolling in my chainmail, people just don’t make the connection,” Bradley laughed. “Which means that I still get to have a private life.”

“I’m still the same old Bradley, that guy who tells those awful jokes.”
Bradley just hit a new level of adorable.

Why were there never females at the round table? Surely fighting for equality in a nation worth it. Especially after Cleopatra’s time.
Do women not lead well? Or does England just not like talking about good women rulers. They seem facinated with Jesus when he had a shin dig with twelve men. What did arthur fight for , was it Jesus. Isn’t that a bit of an insult given Prasutagus and Boudica?
I wish I met someone who loved women, not men!

A LOT of males are on Gay Spy… they are featured because they’re hot not because of their sexuality….

I have just never seen or heard of gay spy before. So he’s not gay? You do realise that our present royal family basically caused WWI and II. I’ve asked William to apologise for it and he won’t he won’t even respond. Given my family that is a huge insult. 7/8 marriages from George I to WWI were to german descent people. Wilhelm Kaiser of Germany at the time of WWI was Queen Vic’s first Grand child and first god child. Queen Vic had a German mum, German nanny and married a german. I can go on further. So Prince William refuses to apologise for his family who refused to integrate with England.
Equality for women in the church was not directed by the Queen. Women being allowed to preach and also be bishops occurred in Australia from my church. Dr Murial Porter who attended our church after we arrived recently got put on the Victorian Women’s honour roll for her part. So the Crown is not responsible for equality in the church, I am.

I agree with Vicki – usually male actors who are good-looking or popular have their photos posted on a variety of websites including gay ones, whether they are or not.
I don’t think Bradley is gay based on what I have read in interviews so far, but it wouldn’t matter if he was anyway.

I just started watching Merlin today. When it first came on i was like “i ain’t gonna like this” but i sat down and kept watching. idk why. When Bradley came on screen i couldnt really see his face but i deff thought his voice was very captivating. Then when i saw him fully i thought “he has the most wonderful eyes” and “his hair, He is just, amazing” and now i come to the conclusion that he is my celebrity crush…and so far i think he is a very talented actor…but i cant say he is my favorite due to the fact that i only saw one episode. LOL!!
