linndechirIt's been a while since the last proper picspam, but I just remembered that picspams are a great excuse not to write fanfic ... Bad me, I know. So, here's a HUGE picspam of Hans Matheson in Imperium: Nero, playing ... well, Nero. Watch it. Never mind the historical inaccuracies, just watch it like any other work of fiction. Not for the movie itself (which focuses way too much on the boring love story instead of on politics and Nero's characterisation), but for Hans' stunning performance. Not to mention that he's as gorgeous as ever.
Meet Emperor Nero. However, this is not what he looks like at the beginning of the movie ... at the beginning, we have this adorable, naive boy:
D'awwwww!
All right, his hands aren't as beautiful as August Diehl's or Mark Strong's, but they're still pretty.
Being slashy and adorable with his love interest's daddy.
And again ... He's slashy with a couple of other people as well. ;)
Lil Nero finally found his way back to Rome and is starting to look civilised. ;) And still adorable.
I managed to avoid pictures of the annoying love interest so far, but here she is. How DARE anyone make poor Nero unhappy (which she does)?
Obligatory pics of Hans with horse. :) I don't know about you, but it always makes me happy.
Notice anything? Yes, he looks really posh now, doesn't he? That's because the Emperor just married his mother (the woman on the picture) and adopted him.
The ultimate "bitch please"-look, followed by ...
... the ultimate annoyed "why can't they leave me alone?"-look.
Erm ... guh? Btw, that's NOT his love interest he's getting married to here, but the rich patrician woman the Emperor wants him to marry.
Way too late in the movie, Nero's step-father dies and Nero becomes emperor. My comments are kinda useless, aren't they?
I love how he looks like a little boy here. ^^
Notice the guy in the background, that's Seneca, Nero's teacher and mentor. They're adorable.
That's his wife (the one you didn't notice in the pics before because Nero's porny bread-eating distracted you). I feel bad for her - she loved him and she would have been so much better for him than the stupid, self-righteous love interest who breaks his heart (the one on the picture below). Really, as far as the (fairly insane) women in this movie go, his wife was the nicest one.
Lucky girl. *sigh*
The good thing about being Emperor? You can tell people to STFU! ;)
What's up with Hans Matheson playing all these characters with really weird mother issues?
He looks wonderfully bored. ^^
He's just standing up, but I think he looks like he's about to start dancing. ;)
LULZ!
I love his clothes in this movie. This picture also features my dysfunctional OTP in this whole thing: Nero and the captain of the Praetorian Guard (who killed Nero's father, then is loyal to Nero for years, then betrays him in the end). Speaking of their slashiness ...
Do I need to say more?
The ANGST! God, I want to throttle all those stupid directors who cast mediocre actors when they could have people like Hans. His acting is superb.
Love the WTF?-look.
And the "about to go insane"-look.
Remember what I said about weird mother relationships? Really ... and I thought the mother issues in The Mists of Avalon were bad. ;)
The following pictures demonstrate why his love interest is BAD for him:
Mood: happy and hopeful.
Mood: disappointed and sad.
Mood: disappointed and angry. Good job, girl.
Notice the pretty shoulder.
Time for funny faces. :D
I'm always impressed by how angry he can look.
Did I mention that he sings in several scenes? He has a very beautiful, soft voice. I usually prefer deeper voices, but his voice is just irresistible. So sad and beautiful.
I think at this point even die-hard het shippers should have wanted to slap the love interest and tell her to leave the poor guy alone.
Am I the only one to think that there's something orgasmic about his expression?
I hope you enjoyed the spam. :D I'm sorry for the absurd size of this picspam, but, as usual, I felt that all of these pics were so beautiful that they needed to be shared. It's Hans' fault, not mine. ;)
