How often do people mention yer Disney days to ye? Regularly, I expect. That's what happens when ye are so iconic. @hilaryblvd

How does it feel stepping into Mr Darcy's shoes? With a story as beloved as Pride and Prejudice, do you feel any pressure to live up to a certain expectation an already existing fanbase has built? Personally, I think you're going to nail it. I know there are so many different renditions, but I have a feeling yours is going to become the next big thing. @limelightlowden

[limelightlowden]

Mostly terrifying, honestly. Was a big fan of Colin Firth and Matthew Macfadyen's Darcys, and they're both phenomenal actors who did an incredible job. So I know am filling big Regency boots. They both reached oot to me, though, which was really sweet. Part of an exclusive club now. We've got a group chat and everything.

[limelightlowden]

Are there any actors ye would love to work with one day? I feel like we've all got oor lists. I've been very lucky to get through a few of the names on mine. @estcrsexposito

[luhems]

that’s hilarious, man. i like your theory about the accent staying because scots are stubborn. rolling with it. it’s a bittersweet thing, i think. love getting to meet so many new fans but like you said, it sucks not being able to explore. gives me some good ideas on where to return when i have some vacation time. first up: paris.

[limelightlowden]

Nae way to explain it otherwise, I've known so many folk who've lived all over the place, and if a Scot doesnae leave until after they're, say, 10 - that accent is with them forever. Meanwhile I know folks who've moved to Australia and developed the accent within a few years. A Scot would never. Great choice, Paris is dreamy.

[limelightlowden]

Alright, fella? Life treating ye well? Seen photos of ye at various sporting events. Tough life, eh? @chasesfm

[scoirse]

See your wife knows this. How many years we have been together I see your little face get all frustrated by a pen and too many questions. It be easy if other people realized five year olds had better food palettes than boring sophisticated adults but I digress. Um what? Im way less trained than a dog.

[limelightlowden]

Only a fraction of how many years we're gonnae be together, that's for sure. That why ye always want chicken nuggets, too, eh? Aye, true. Stella is great at no wandering off and has great recall. Ye, on the other hand...

[scmuelreid]

the important question is — have you taken her to visit australia yet? there's a blonde aussie there that could host you on his farm, if you ever decide to visit, just saying. ha, that's hilarious. americans and their sports. have you two started planning the 1st birthday party yet?

[limelightlowden]

Naw, not yet. Would love to, though. Oz and New Zealand are on the list when she's a wee bit older and can really enjoy it, I think. By that I mean climb mountains with her da in the latter. I havenae even thought about her first birthday yet, but nae doubt Sersh already had a Pinterest board for it.

[tcylorkitsch]

Eh you might be waiting for that for a while man. It's really unfortunate we are physically so far apart for a long ass time now.

[limelightlowden]

Ye saying if we were in the same place you'd smooch me? Just curious.

[mvnsugas]

i see your face around online but never have dived into anything you've acted in. i mean i suck at watching anything with how i love being in the studio till who know when tinkering away on a track. i'd be up for any recommendations of your work though and i'd be sure to watch it when i have a moment to myself outside of touring if i'm not too exhausted. @limelightlowden

[limelightlowden]

Sometimes it's hard to keep up with something, I get it. Depends what sorta thing ye are intae. TV show? Movie? Maybe start off with something more mainstream where am only a small part like Dunkirk. Or dive right intae Slow Horses. Or maybe Tornado is more up yer street.

[fpughfms]

sounds like you've got a good group behind you, just hope you have enough beer for them. oh, i wasn't talking about you have ton contort your face. it is funny enough just like that.

[limelightlowden]

The best. Am so fucking blessed, I tell ye. Rude, pal, rude. Better be careful what ye say about me face, Sersh willnae be happy.

[josephaquinn]

yeah, but i don't enjoy it when purists don't let me enjoy the film because it wasn't like the books. i get why people compare everything to the books, but sometimes i just want to sit there and enjoy a beautiful film without someone whispering, "well, actually..." in my ear every five minutes. just let me enjoy a visual masterpiece! greta's brilliant. she made something funny and emotional; it managed to celebrate what people loved about barbie while also poking fun at it and asking bigger questions about identity and growing up. that's a really difficult balance to strike, and i think she pulled it off beautifully.

[limelightlowden]

Just ignore them - look at all the people moaning aboot The Odyssey movie, who've no even read the book, just wanna have a moan and an agenda. Only thing that matters if yer own opinion. Greta's great, waiting for the day she asks me to be in something, or even asks Sersh so I can just linger on set and watch the two of them work their magic.

Mhmm I put extra paperwork in there just to make sure. Hardest job in the world I am sure of it.

[limelightlowden]

I believe it. Am no a fan of paperwork anyway. Being married to ye? Aye, it's hard work 24/7 showing ye love and affection, dealing with yer weird affectionate biting and poor eating habits - it's like having a dug.

[sophiebelindaxo]

i promise to do better, cross my heart. sounds lovely though, have you been having a good time across the pond? was she a good flier? i wanna see some pictures of her great american adventure, so pls remember that. when are you back? the girls have one more week of school and then we're off on our holidays.

[limelightlowden]

Aye, it was a good time. She loves flying, she's really chill with it. She'll sleep most of it just like her da. Ye always see folk side-eyeing ye when ye got a bairn onboard, then she's totally fine and they're impressed. Back now, so... gimme some lovin', pal.

[glenxpowell]

❛ I can imagine doing an American accent gets a little tricky when you’ve already got such a thick accent to work around. I’ve heard a lot of actors say it’s weirdly harder to unlearn certain sounds than people expect. And honestly, I get it — even testing out different accents for roles can be a whole process. Some of them sound great in your head right up until you actually hear yourself back. But now I’m curious… do most of your roles let you stick with your normal voice, or do they usually have you switching things up depending on the character? ❜

[limelightlowden]

It's funny, because Irish folk find an American accent easier than an English one, at least the actors I know, so that's interesting. Think it helps we have a lot of Scottishisms that make us pronounce words totally different from most other accents, but I cannae say that for sure. We like merging oor words. Naw, I'd say I use some variant of an English accent the most, which comes pretty easily to me. I jump at the chance to use me natural accent, though, I feel like I act better when I use it.

[scoirse]

If you have gone silent cause you are divorcing me know this is not acceptable....

@limelightlowden

[limelightlowden]

I thought about it, but divorce sounds like too much effort. I suppose I'll stay married to ye.
