The Herald Scotland recently interviewed Matthew Goode, and it’s another great, long article. Filled with quotes on his career and life – he and his partner, Sophie, are apparently expecting another child – there’s great insight on Matthew as an actor. He talks about the fear of finding jobs and is brutally honest about his prospects as 50 Shades‘ Christian Grey. His end quote is worth checking out, too, for those seeking a bit of inspiration to get cracking on something.

If he was a character from children’s literature – come on, you must have played that game: Bradley Cooper could be the Cheshire Cat, Tom Cruise is Popeye, Tom Hanks is maybe Toad of Toad Hall and Daniel Radcliffe is, well, Harry Potter (sorry Daniel) – then Matthew Goode would definitely be Tigger.

Even in the shortest of audiences in London’s bright and spangly Soho Hotel he’s bouncy, bouncy, bouncy and bouncy. And mostly fun, fun, fun and fun.

This Tuesday afternoon he springs up before I’m even in the room, hallooos my name – “Teddy!” – and spends our time together giving a very good impression of a man in his element. Obviously I like to think that’s the natural effect I have on people. But maybe it’s just his demeanour.

Goode is very tall, slightly sweary (be warned), rather English (so more AA Milne than Disney) and at the moment slightly ubiquitous. For the past few weeks he’s been on the small screen in Stephen Poliakoff’s sumptuously dressed and very long BBC Two drama, “Dancing On The Edge.” And as it comes to a close he is about to pop up in our cinemas as Mia Wasikowska’s rather nasty Uncle Charlie in Park Chan-wook’s American debut Stoker. After years in which he has been on a steadily upward trajectory, the 34-year-old would appear to have reached the point of ubiquity.

He’s not so sure, though. “I’m still like, ‘I wonder when I’m going to work again,’” he says as he sips bottled water and smooths down his skinny tie. “I’m pretty removed now. We live down in Kent, away from everything, and my day-to-day is: get up, take the missus to the station and then potter around with [four-year-old daughter] Matilda until its nursery time and then spend the afternoon thinking, ‘When am I going to work next? What are my options?’ I’ve spent a lot of time over the past four or five months doing that. So, Christ, I really hope this “Dancing On The Edge”/Stoker sandwich does bring something to the table.”

Matthew Goode is on the cover of the spring/summer 2013 issue of L’Officiel Hommes. They’re apparently known for really great spreads, so hopefully fans will get a great new photo shoot out of it. I’ll try to obtain scans and post them ASAP. In the meantime, you may want to be on the lookout for the magazine yourself. Let me know if you have any luck finding a copy!

Last night (February 17th), a special screening for Stoker was held in London. Matthew Goode attended the event with co-stars, Nicole Kidman and Mia Wasikowska, along with director Chan-wook Park. Check out a short interview with Matthew from the screening below, plus numerous new pics in the gallery.

I managed to completely overlook this news (my apologies), but a press conference was held for Stoker in southern California in late January. Just days after the 2013 Sundance Film Festival – on January 26th – Matthew Goode joined his cast mates again to talk about the film. Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be any footage from the conference online, but you can now check out pictures in the gallery.

Continuing yesterday’s appearance, Matthew Goode is at the Sundance Film Festival to help promote Stoker. There are two different sets of studio portraits featuring him alongside co-stars, Nicole Kidman and Mia Wasikowska. He also attended a Variety Studio Q&A with Wasikowska, Wonjo Jeong, and Park Chan-Wook. Matthew was also spotted at the Grey Goose Blue Door.

Yesterday, January 20th, Chan-wook Park’s Stoker debuted at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. Matthew Goode, Nicole Kidman, Mia Wasikowska, and director Chan-wook were all in attendance. Held in Utah, Sundance is one of the largest independent film festivals in the United States, and it’s quite a treat to have a film debut at the event. Hopefully we’ll receive any Q&A footage, printed interviews, and even a studio set of photographs with the actors (as this annual festival tends to provide).

The first official film still for Stoker featuring Matthew Goode has been revealed. Looks like it might be early on when his character, Uncle Charlie Stoker, arrives in his niece’s life. Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but the MPAA has already given the film an R rated for “disturbing violent and sexual content.” Stoker hits theaters March 1, 2013.
