Did the actors really say that? I always got the feeling that the Merlin crew isn't exactly the best when it comes to how to handle their fans, but coming right out and saying that they find it annyoing when fans are on the site seems a bit of blunder in terms of fan relations. Unless something happened in Pierrefonds with fans being out of line?

I'm pretty sure the OP is refering to the recent interview with Bradley James in which he stated that he found the crowds distracting and that he didn't really enjoy filming at the castle because of it.

"The majority are very well behaved, but even so it's very distracting because they have cameras and they make noise and you can see that they are very attentive to what you are doing. You need to feel like you can make mistakes and try things out without being recorded and you can't trust the people who are watching so I've not enjoyed having them visiting the castle. I find that a real problem with how we film over there." (link: http://oi47.tinypic.com/1zlcb5u.jpg - sorry, it's small).

I don't think he was being *that* rude (it's not like he said it to anyone's face), but I think he was hoping people would get the message. The rest of the cast seem to be bothered by it as well, though they're not as candid as BJ. But then, they don't seem to attract the same amount of batshit behaviour from fans as Bradley does.

I'll admit, I often looked at fan photos at Pierrefonds during filming, but I've sworn off them this year after seeing just how invasive it really is (a wall of fans with cameras standing approximately three feet away from where the actors are working, watching their every move.) I actually had an on-line friend go there and she said that the actors practically RUN for the private tents between takes in order to avoid the endless requests for photos/autographs/conversations with the fans who have turned up precisely for those reasons.

No, I don't think it's rude either. Actually, I appreciate the honesty. I can't imagine how stifling it must be trying to work with a whole bunch of strangers breathing down your neck (figuratively speaking).

Unfortunately many fans either won't have gotten the message, or they will have gotten it but they just don't care either way.

That sounds less rude than what I imagined reading the secret, tbh. Thanks for digging that up.

Maybe the bit with the "you can't trust the people who are watching" sentence could have phrased a bit more diplomatically, but then reading your reply I remembered that the fandom has some really batshit assholes. Wasn't it Bradley's girlfriend who left Twitter because of the vitrol his fans levelled at her? Or was that just a rumor?

No, Georgia King shut down her Twitter because of haters, and Bradley has stopped updating his as well - however, I'm not on Twitter so I don't know the particulars of what was said (though I imagine it was the usual "wah, how dare you date my imaginary TV boyfriend!" nonsense.) I may be reaching here, but the guy really does seem to be taking steps to distance himself from the fans - he barely did any publicity in the lead-up to series 4.
