    After his final performance of Burn, Alan ventured outside -even with a broken toe-to see the few of us who were still hoping to meet him at the theatre. He chatted and took selfies with us. So sweet and kind.

      he captured my heart in the spice girls movie 🤣 he's brilliant as the emcee in cabaret - after years wanting to see it as a kid, found it on CZcams, a gut-wrenching production

    I’m sorry, but is anyone gutting for him to play an MCU Loki variant for Loki Season 2? Even though he already played Loki in Son of the Mask, but this can be done much better if he were playing off another variant. You can tell just by the hair!

    I have a great picture of my grandmother meeting The Queen, and Princess Anne. They were more lovely than either of us imagined them to be.
    I don't think that they're "inflating her kindness." She's human. She probably had good days, and bad days, like all of us. I believe that she still treated people with more respect - being royalty, and perhaps being somewhat "entitled" to be more demanding/ curt with her staff/ subjects - than the average city employee does that's hired to .serve the general public!

    Alan Cumming said that 14 years later, the death of the Queen and the "ensuing conversations about the role of monarchy and especially the way the British Empire profited at the expense (and death) of indigenous peoples across the world really opened my eyes".
    What I fail to understand about this judgmental type of behavior is
    Perhaps the British Empire was not an ideal instiution But does Alan think that the countries affected by the British Empire would simply have evolved untouched by the rest of he world or more likely would they not have become part of a French,German ,Spanish or Chinese empire
    On balance I would have thought the British Empire was the least worse option and a more gown up view of the past should be taken
