   I am a big Freddie fan and I think it’s cool that he is in boy scouts also. He is a great actor, but he is right about the luck.

   I know everything Im typing, millions have probably said already (including that), but Freddie, you are just the best actor I have ever seen, and my friends say I am obsessed, and I am actually, but not in a horrible way. And Freddie, I LOVED you as Pantalaimon in The Golden Compass and you are amazing in every film youve been in, and I saw you in Two Brothers 2 weeks ago (yeah I know. REALLY late in watching that) and it was simply phenomenal! Keep it Coming, cuz millions of fans are waiting!
   Best of luck,
   obsessed

   hey freddie…
   I bet now that yuor a celeb everyone wants to be your friend. It must be really tiring having to sign all those autographs and people trying to be your friend. I know I would probably want to ripe out some of my hair at the end of some of those days. But i just wanted to say your an amezing actor, and its a great talent to have. Have fun continuing
