Michael Sheen and 'Best Interests'

For all you lovelies out there in Tumblr-land who've spoken to Michael's "The Assembly" answer admission to crying like "every day," I submit for evidence his role in the BAFTA-nominated series "Best Interests." All four episodes are available on BBC iPlayer (and for those of you like me who are Stateside, download the Windscribe app to watch).

His deep-dive submersion into this character is utterly, devastatingly, heartbreaking, gorgeously beautiful. Not only do we get to see Michael completely inhabit a creature so fully conflicted, so relatable as a dad, so fully immersed with his cadence of delivery, you're going to cry weep shed tears along with EVERYONE in the final scenes.

Michael, Sharon Horgan, Alison Oliver, Noma Dumezweni and especially Niamh Moriarty are portraying people that you may know in real life, confronting family issues that absolutely no one should ever have to undertake.

As an aside... I know all of us here in the Sheenant Universe are hoping for a Tennant BAFTA blessing - which he so richly deserves. However, if 'Best Interests' does win in the Limited Drama Series category (which if I'm not mistaken would go to the executive producers and/or producer, two of whom are Michael Sheen and Sharon Horgan), what a brilliant night that would be.

Thank you @michaelsheendaily and @invisibleicewands for the GIFS.

It's my 10 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Michael loves to make David smile 🌞
