Freddie is amazing
Jan. 20, 2008 at 10:58 pm
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

I understand how you feel,people think that being a star is perfect ,but not always, right?
Jan. 28, 2008 at 5:31 pm
Ya your right i mean your rarely home, you never see your friends, and you can’t go out in public without somebody yelling your name and freeking out.

Feb. 4, 2008 at 5:45 pm
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.

Freddie I want you to know you are the best actor I have ever seen you are a amazing. It must be really hard to be an actor but let me tell you I am not one of those people. I also heard your not planning to act in the future I understand that but you should even if it might be hard at times keep on acting. I also heard you will be 16 soon. I will be 16 on February 22.
