I met my hero on Saturday after getting the chance to watch him perform in this fantastic play. MS is literally the only person on earth I'd go to such lengths to meet and he's the only celebrity I'd ever want an autograph from or an interaction with. So grateful to this wonderful man for giving me one of the very best experiences of my life 💜

MS is every bit as lovely as everyone says. He's a goddamn delight and so gracious with his flustered fans. He smells divine too 🤭

Just out of curiosity I checked my Fitbit stats for that magical night. You can literally see the spikes ... The pre-show anticipation, the moment he came out on stage and the moment around midnight when he was at the stage door. Be still my heart 😊

"The play 'Nye' is currently being shown at the National Theatre, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. I even doodled two of my favourite parts. Michael Sheen, who is known for his role in Good Omens, is a brilliant actor who listens to his fans, and I am glad to have had the chance to see him perform."

As a non-English native speaker, I prepared a script, because I was too nervous before that. Sound stupid but he still listened to what I said, and I'm really grateful.

hello! I'm currently watching the NT's recording of NYE, and its leaving the youtube channel on the 11th. I live in an area where I can't access the NT's normal subscription service, and I absolutely need to know how to access this again. I know you might not be the person for this question, but given your own love for Michael, I figured you might now a way for me to find this/download/rip the video so I can watch it again after it leaves the youtube page? It's rather quickly become a comfort watch.

Thank you in advance for anything you can offer :)

Hi there! Absolutely, I am happy to help as best I can. Michael is utterly fantastic in Nye, so I very much understand wanting to rewatch it as much as you can. In terms of a download/rip of the video, I found one (with and without English subtitles) on VK here and someone has also uploaded it to Dropbox here. I think @invisibleicewands might also have a source for a download, if they want to chime in.

I hope this is helpful to you! I'll end this with a gif of gratuitous Sheen arse wiggles, just because...

Well, I'm a happy woman.

Michael Sheen=the greatest.

Despite how exhausted he was after Thursday's performance (he was on FIRE that night) he still took the time to see all of his adoring fans at the stage door and make loads of people's day.

Friday's stage door was truly magical, and the energy in the crowd was off the charts. Loads of hardcore fans and talented fanartists were there and it became a spontaneous mini Ineffable Sheen Convention of sorts.

Everyone was interacting and supporting each other like the fabulous family we are. One girl was so nervous she almost threw up. Another adorable fan had a full-on breakdown of the most joyous and beautiful kind after meeting their hero. Shy and trembling fans were gently encouraged and helped by the complete strangers next to them (as well as MS himself).

An international delegation of Sheenie fans comprised of some of the loveliest and most talented people on earth, all brought together by our adoration of this beautiful man.

So many hugs, happy tears, stories and wee handmade gifts were exchanged. I am so grateful to have been lucky enough to be a part of it all.

And yes, that's his handwritten bratty Bastille Azi quote on my collarbone, freshly tattooed this morning in Soho (he kindly wrote it on a post-it note for the specific purpose).

Oh, and then this happened. Irene, you are a cinnamon roll and we all think you're just the bee's knees ☺️

Toward the end of my third magical stage door encounter I finally had the wherewithal to ask for a photo. Still not brave enough to request a hug but my hand went straight for his glorious tummy of its own accord. My brain ceased to function at that point and I am now deceased 💀

There are no words to describe how grateful I am to Michael, the phenomenal cast and the best fandom on earth for this unforgettable experience. I genuinely hope MS knows how loved he is and how much we appreciate all he does. This world is a better place because of him 🖤

(btw that adorable Nye kewpie doll is the creation of the talented @buzzinglarrieee and the Nye watercolour was a gift to MS made by @dennissima)
