More sightings in Glasgow

Martin is leaving his mark in Glasgow as more sightings are made and shared on social media. Only last night he was clubbing at a place called The Buff Club (known in Glasgow for being The place to go to for funk & soul dj sets). It was hip-hop night and he apparently danced the night away.

Today he was seen sans beard (just a bit of stubble), his regular cap and glasses at a restaurant.

We imagine he must be getting back to London pretty soon as rehearsals for Labour of Love should be starting.

Martin fronts Vodafone/Ogilvy integrated brand campaign

Back in May 2017 we heard that Martin flew from Puerto Rico (after filming his scenes for Cargo) to Mallorca (or Majorca if you want to be English about it), a beautiful island in Spain. There, the production team in charge, filmed on location of one of the most (if not the most) impressive mansions of Spain called “Sa Fortalesa” in Pollença (a town located to the north of the island) a couple of ads for the new campain for Vodafone/Ogilvy.

Today’s update: These last couple of days, Martin was seen filming in Glasgow a new ad for Vodafone. Reports indicate that they were filming in a chapel called Christ The King. We are speculating that this ad is probably the Christmas one they intented to shoot considering Martin will be busy with his new play starting September through December.

If you continue reading you will find more information as well as links to all the videos so far. We’ve also uploaded some of the campain photos and some from social media published by the actors that worked with Martin on this project.

Martin stars as Andy in Netflix’s Cargo

Based on a Tropfest short film that attracted millions of online views, the film will be the feature-length debut from Australian directors Yolanda Ramke and Ben Howling, Cargo is the story of a father stranded in rural Australia who has 48 hours to find a new home for his one-year-old daughter after being infected in the wake of a violent pandemic.

Rather than a zombie thriller, writer-director Ramke describes Cargo as parallel stories of “parental love — one between a father and his baby and the other between a young Aboriginal girl and her father”.

That made the difference for Martin Freeman who said to News Corp Australia Network:

I would never have done a zombie film in a million years, I mean truly, in a million years. I said that to them. The world doesn’t need another zombie film, it really doesn’t. But I just don’t think this is one. First and foremost, it was a father-daughter thing. That’s what got me. It’s a human story and I like those … I think I’m quite good in those

Martin attends the Baby Driver European Premiere

It all began with a tweet from someone that saw Martin looking very dapper, per usual. We were wondering if he was going somewhere when one of the squad mentioned that the Baby Driver premiere was happening today. We immediately started looking and between taxi cabs and lots of work, we saw him. He was posing with a big smile and dark sunglasses, wearing beautiful loafers with no socks, a very trademark red leather belt and a very fitted dark shirt, slightly opened (thank you summer time!). Dashing doesn’t do him justice and you can see that for yourself in the photos from the Red Carpet we are now sharing.

Martin attends Hamlet press night in London’s West End

A twitter account alerted us about the possibility of Martin attending Andrew Scott’s Hamlet on June 15. Some minutes passed and the twitter and instagram account of the play posted a photo of Martin entering the theatre and then we knew. He was really there! He was previously seen earlier looking – as always – sharply dressed so we imagine this is where he was going to. Despite some rumours that he was dancing somewhere else later that day, those are unconfirmed and from what we could find out, quite possibly false. So rejoice in some Martin from Hamlet’s press night!

Martin on The Graham Norton Show

It took us all by surprise when we saw a tweet saying that they have seen Martin recording the Graham Norton Show. We usually know in advance and Graham advertises that in the tweeter account of his own show, but not this time. It was a pleasant surprise though, of course.
