Oh Fans. We're so Silly

Because Colin M lost a bit of weight for his part in Mojo, there's been quite a few mixed reactions. From people saying he's way too thin and lamenting the loss of his muscly bulk (seriously lamenting, with wailing and gnashing of teeth... okay not really :D), to people (like myself) quite happy that he slimmed down (slim suits him, it really does) to people gushing about how muscular and tone and fit he is and swearing that his thinness isn't that bad, honest, because he's actually quite buff (but compare him to someone like, say, Alex from Hawaii Five'o and Colin's just a little twig of a thing with barely any muscle at all).

It's just funny.

Personally, I think he's just right - not too thin, not bulky. Yeah, he lost weight but he still has muscle and he still looks healthy. Nothing like his almost-emaciation in Merlin. As I said, slim suits him, but I'm also bias in that I like slender guys. Although it is amazing how quickly this guy can lose the pounds. But he is a vegetarian so I guess that helps.

Hahaha, I am also one of the people who finds the fannish fascination with Colin's weight very amusing *gg*

(Personally, I really liked his look in Merlin!)

Well, Colin's weight is kind of all over the place. He goes from uber thin to uber buff and now he's back to thin what seems like overnight. And he still has muscle but at the same time his arms are starting to look a little bony. So his weight is rather fascinating :D

It's just funny how absolute people are about it, because he's either super buff or super skinny but never in between, and you don't often see people use words like slim or slender. Just buff or skinny.
