Ioan Gruffudd's comments

『Forever』もしかして続きを作る気はないのかな？と先日書きましたが（こちら）、打ち切りを知った主演のIoan Gruffudd（ヨアン・グリフィズ）がインスタグラムでコメントした内容によれば、そうでもなかったみたいです。

以下、長いけどインスタグラムを貼り付けます。冒頭の数行を読むと「数字がよくないのはわかってたけど、打ち切りは予想していなかった」ことがわかります。

My dear friends, fans, supporters. Tonight, as you all now know, I received a phone call that I was hoping not to receive, and to be honest I really wasn’t expecting it. I knew the numbers hadn’t been great, but I also knew the studio and the network both loved the show, and of course that it had an incredible fan base…so I thought we were in with a pretty good chance. But sadly no, this time the cards weren’t dealt in our favor. Show business is like that. Hell, life is like that. You ride to the top of the wave and then you come crashing down again. I asked Alice to send out the sad news because I was a little bit shaken up and needed time to gather my thoughts. So I sat down and started reading the thousands of Tweets in response to the announcement. And the more I read, the more I couldn’t believe it. The love, the sense of solidarity, the hope, the kindness, the support. Not just for the show, but for each other. And slowly I began to focus on what we had gained in the past year, rather than what we had lost in the last five minutes. I was overcome by a sense of gratitude. To have met you all and to have you all rooting for me and the show. At having a chance to play the role of my dreams, even if it was only for a year. To have been given the chance to bring Henry to life. Watching the interaction of the FOREVER fans come together and share their love for the show has been breath-taking. It was you guys who held me up when I thought I could no longer go on. (Those days were LONG!) You made me smile when you pointed out the little things I did on screen that I thought had gone unnoticed. You gave me confidence when I accidentally found myself reading less than shining reviews. You were always with me, every step of the way, waving your flags, shouting your support for the show. It’s been an incredible, wonderful year, one that I will never, ever forget. And guess what? The memories belong to us. We get to keep them ‘forever!’ Thanks again a million times for your unwavering support. Stay strong, be brave, and show kindness as often as you can! Ioan xxx

ヨアンがヘンリー役を愛していたこと、どれだけこのショーを楽しんでいたかがわかる切ない文章ですが、最後は前向きに「この１年で得たものにフォーカスすることにした」と、ファンへの感謝の言葉で締めくくっています。

Foreverもヘンリーも大好きだったけど、このインスタグラムのメッセージを読んでヨアン自身のファンになりました！(*＾○＾*)


それにしても、コメントを読むと「ネットフリックスがピックアップしてくれないかしら」と期待するファンも多いし（私含めて）、なんとかシーズン２くらいまで作ってほしいよぅ〜(;_;)


ファンになったついでに（？）彼が今までどんな映画やドラマに出てたのかチェックしてみたら、


なんとなんと〜〜〜！！！




タイタニックのナイスな船員さん、似てるなとは思ってたけど、本人だったのね！！！

（私、『ファンタスティック・フォー』しか今まで知りませんでした）


タイタニック、もう１０回は見てるけど、また見たくなっちゃった(笑)。
