For the second day in a row, TMI fans got a TMI topic to trend and today we got #WEWANTSIMON to trend #2 in the world and Cassie treated us to this awesome news:
ROBERT SHEEHAN is SIMON!!! Cassie teased us on twitter that he had awesome chemistry with Jamie and Lily, and that he wasn't American. Even Sarah Rees Brennan, Holly Black and Maureen Johnson (all close friends of Cassie's) chimed in to say they all approved. Guess what, he's not British, but this Irish cutie is sure to make TMI fans proud when he steps into the roll of SIMON LEWIS on the big screen.
Here's what Cassie about Robert:
So remember when I said we wouldn’t have a Simon till July for Reasons?
The Reasons were that the actors up for Simon had to test with Jamie and Lily in Toronto to see how the chemistry worked. When I talked to Jamie and Lily yesterday it was about who we thought was the absolute best, the most Simon-y Simon, and fortunately we all agreed.
Y’all know I am a big Misfits fan, so you should not be surprised to know that I’m ecstatic that our Simon is.
Robert Sheehan. You may know him as Nathan. :)
He’s totally cute and adorable and HILARIOUS, and his chemistry with Lily and Jamie is off the charts. I’ve wanted him for Simon for ages so I am pretty much totally and entirely happy.
Also you should all watch Misfits.
How cute is he?!!!!
What do you guys think? I'm so EXCITED over this news!
