Gareth David-Lloyd: Pie status

I said I'd get a few conventions out of the way before doing a pie update, so here it is. It is actually just an excuse to post some pictures for great justice and all that. (Picture credits in the titles, peeps.)

Polaris Toronto, a week and a bit ago. Let's start with pressing pie matters:

I can't quite work out what's going on in this one, is that a bulge? Or is that the shirt? Answers on a postcard, please, fabric or tum?? I just can't decide. What I can see is that he hasn't been taking my advice to heart regarding not putting things in his pockets because it draws the eye away from his cock. *squints* Unless that is his cock. In which case I haven't said a word and congratulations, young man.

Onwards!

THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! Two shining examples of how, if they can't quite see it, to keep the audience at least thinking about your cock. Put a wee doggy on it. Make sure the doggy looks happy and pleased to be near it. A stellar plan, well thought through, well executed. Kudos, Gareth.

I was meant to be taling about pie, but, again, I can't quite make my mind up. I think we're still heading in the right direction, but I can't be sure.

On to ComicCon, last Thursday:

Again, there's a strange fabricy thing going on here that I can't quite put my finger on. In this case I'm pretty sure it's fabric. Also, yes, that's John Barrowman's mother. Maybe we could ask her? And, yet again, unless your cock is shaped like a packet of fags, Gareth, I'm thinking that's probably a packet of fags. STOP IT!

This one's a bit clearer on the pie front, and I'm thinking this is definitely a positive development. Also, I note the tan thing has been taken on board, and damn, it does suit him. The pasty Welshness wasn't helping matters in any way. Good job, boy!

Chin status: Good, going well. Designer stubble, still, so it's hard to tell, but again I think we're going places. Good, fine places. Also, maybe I've just put this smiley picture in for no real reason. It's cute. Mmmm.

PIE STATUS AS OF JULY 2008: Still undecided, but the tan is doing it for me. I'm going, hesitantly, with a positive progession.

ETA: From the pictures and video I've been looking at re. pie, I'm getting the distinct impression that in the past few months Gareth has fallen into the trap that so many young men have fallen into before him. He does seem to be going to the gym regularly now, but he seems to be concentrating on building up muscle. He's gone way broader on top than he used to be and he's suddenly way more defined in the chest and shoulders, but he doesn't seem to be getting enough aerobic exercise to get rid of the gut. Hire a personal trainer, boy!

Last note of non-connected noteworthyness, this is

griggharris' signed picture:

IT IRKS ME, that NOBODY at the BBC has, in the past year, taken it upon themselves to edit the shadows of the other cast member's coats out of these individual promo shots that they cut out of the group shot. IT'S LAZY AND STUPID AND WOULD ONLY TAKE TEN MINUTES IN PHOTOSHOP FFS! GRRRRRRRRRRRR!

His face isn't nearly as puffy as it was in the DW season finale. Also, keep in mind that the man has 3 more weeks to slim down before shooting starts. Pie status: Medium.

The designer stubble with the delicate green wedding fairy wings? They are giving me cognitive dissonance. Also, a plot bunny I'm not sure a wanted right now.

*I* wanted, damn it. Why do I only see these things as my finger descends on the return key?

I declare the prognosis good in any case. Also: faerie wings + stubble? I love it.

'IT'S LAZY AND STUPID AND WOULD ONLY TAKE TEN MINUTES IN PHOTOSHOP FFS! GRRRRRRRRRRRR!'
Not even ten minutes D:

'Make sure the doggy looks happy and pleased to be near it.'
I know I'd be pleased.

*uses ComicCon icon*

Yeah, I meant ten minutes to do ALL 5. LAZY TARDS.

Yeah, must be the same people who DIDN'T put the extras on the DVD.

I love the fact that he was wore the same shirt to Polaris on the Saturday and Comic Con last Thursday...

I do recall seeing that he was spotted hitting the gym in Toronto. Considering he's kinda-sorta on vacation, that shows some dedication, and judging by his arms in all the CC pics, I'd say it's paying off.
There was one video from the beginning of the panel, he and John hugged, and I swear Gareth looked the broader (in a good muscular shoulders and arms way) of the two.

While I agree that the stubble is working for him, I must (because I'm a natural killjoy) point out that he is not growing what would be a convincing beard. He's one of those men who needs to stop at stubble. A full beard and I'm afraid he'll look like a homeless person.

NOOO I LOVE THE PASTY WELSHNESS. It made the only colors on his face white, pink and blue so he was all cotton-candy colored and that pleased me just fine.

The pie also appears to be improving, I agree! Oh, and your packet-of-fags-shaped-cock comment broke my diaphragm.

Someone else has spotted that Gareth's arms appeared broader than JB's at the convention. As for his tum, as long as it's flatter than Daniel Craig's, that's all that matters. And tums are meant to be a bit round.

He looks great. :)

JB mentioned twice at Comic-Con that Gareth has a big c**k. I wonder if Gareth was a bit freaked out by that? :)

"PIE STATUS AS OF JULY 2008: Still undecided, but the tan is doing it for me. I'm going, hesitantly, with a positive progession."

I'm not as positive as you are, since he had a couple of relapses, but I will try to keep in a good faith. At least the hair was grown back (stub was very cute/sexy), I'm guessing everyone realized the short hair was a bad idea for the chin.

Current pie status is adorable for Gareth, but unsatisfied for Ianto. Still a long way to go to reach the S1 status. (Note: the beginning of S1)

Again, Dear Gareth, get some tips from those LA gym junkies; look at those US based actors at their 20s, feel some pressure then go work out. (And you too Barrowman! I saw that tummy.)

We still love you and the idea of Jack and Ianto, no matter what. But at times, It's not easy, just, just looking at [Ianto], 'cause [your pie status] are wrong... You are, I can't help it. I'm a [fan girl], it's instinct. It's in my guts.(At this moment, I fully grasp the Doctor's pain.)

I don't know about Gareth, but I've certainly jotted the cock thing down for future reference. For the cock files and that.

Amen on the arms! I think it's getting cannon, bottom!Jack.

But still... abs people, it's all about the abs, that's another way to make people think about your cock.

Cock and abs, inseparable! and hip bone. Mark my words.

I know Torchwood probably doesn't care about abs (it won't show anyway; in Ianto's case, suit hides everything), so the only problem is the chin, but for your future career's sake, work on the abs, Gareth (and John as well).

Judging from last month's status, the abs seem okay:

It's still the tummy I'm worried about.

I always thought abs (abdominal muscles) can only appear after the tummy's gone... technically we are talking about the same thing here... are we having the inter Atlantic moment (yes, Americans doesn't make sense)?

You know what? I think they both look perfect just as they are. Western society's obsession with an unnatural body image just leads to problems. Yes exercise is important, but for health, not for vanity. Both JB and GDL appear to be in decent shape and are both extremely good-looking men. And the Gareth's stubble? Adorable.

See... I used to date really slim guys, and they almost always had amazing abs. Which was really nice, yes. But...
Then I dated a couple of wrestlers. Big guys, Gareth and John's height. In fact, thinking about it John reminds me a bit of one (toned and tanned, big personality, everyone used to tease that he looked a bit like Tom Cruise), and Gareth reminds me a bit of the other (Bit taller, scruffier, not as all-over toned and tanned, but still built).
God, no wonder I love Torchwood. I think we have found the root of my fangirl obsession, right there... anyway.
Neither were the massive style of muscular, just VERY nicely built. Broad shoulders, toned chests, lovely arms. They'd wrap those arms around me, and it was the most amazing feeling. Completely changed my taste in men with the first hug.
So, I have a special appreciaton now for tall guys, who work on their shoulders, chests, and arms over their abs. I can deal with a bit of a tummy, if they can make a large-framed girl like me feel nicely delicate.

Yes, we're talking about the same thing. I think he's doing too much muscle work and not enough actual exercise. When I think of someone doing their abs I think of weight training and toning. He needs to do aerobic exercise to shift the tum, and I don't think he is. He's running the risk of toning his abs to the extent that he actually starts to make his beer gut more noticeable than it was. I think John does the same thing, too many weights. You can always tell a guy's doing just weights when he starts to get really wide on top really quickly.

Agree with your assessment of pie status. Not entirely clear, but going in a good direction and much improved. Going to gym is good, but I agree about aerobics. I'm not sure I like the big chested look. Also, I agree about the pockets - that's annoying. That said, he looks really cute in these pictures! I love the stubble. Not sure about the hair.

S1 look is never coming back, urnssadomen, I"m afraid, you'll have to give up that hope!

his face is smaller than it was in doctor who anyway
i fink he's getting a bit of a tummy
and u r so right, he has broader shoulders, personally i preferred him a year ago

and personally i don't like guys who smoke. no offence guys, just my opinion
and u r so right about NOT putting things in pockets
fanks :-)

Nodding, yes, yes, I see your point now.

I know exactly what you are talking about. But for me, the visual pleasure never equal the physical pleasure. Yes, big guys are good for touching and hugging (so is teddy bear) and a lot more...(like you, I tried both) but I still maintain my unhealthy archaic aesthetics, when I only get to watch, which is the case here.

I think a tan suits him, so does stubble and green tinkerbell wings, lol :)

But his face is looking leaner which is good. His arms are getting buff which is nice just as long as he doesn't over due it.

His tummy is getting smaller but there could be more done. I also don't think wearing his jeans down by his c*ck helps any.

But I did enjoy looking at the pretty pics :)
