Here are some photos of Sam Claflin frolicking in the Maui surf with his new-ish wife, Laura Haddock. Sam just got done promoting his new horror flick, The Quiet Ones. I’ve included a photo from the LA premiere (it was Wednesday — these two must have headed straight to the airport after the show). Sam looks great in shorts, particularly since he has a pants-wearing problem. Sam’s red-carpet stylist needs to have a word is all I’m saying.
These photos are bliss in comparison. Sam is not wearing pants, so the pants problem miraculously disappears! He looks better in swimming trunks, and I shouldn’t be surprised since he looked fantastic as Finnick Odair in Catching Fire. While promoting that movie, Sam got a little bit ranty about obsessed fans and how much he hates the paparazzi. He must not have noticed the cameras snapping away here since he looks so happy.
Sam has recently revised his statements about his Catching Fire fanbase. He said, “I’m making myself sound like I have such a huge fan base and that they’re all psychotic. But the people that do kind of dedicate their lives to following my career, it’s amazingly touching and I’m hugely grateful for it. It’s hard to talk about, because I hear myself talking about fans, and I just sound like a douchebag.” Is it possible that Sam’s not being chased down the street because he’s married? Fangirls have no hope of snagging him, so he’s in no danger of becoming a Sparkles or a Peeta.
Seriously, this guy is adorable. That smile. Those dimples.

He does nothing for me but does seem like a good natured and fun guy
Same. Too chipmunky for me, but seems nice.
He’s cute, but with his mouth open and teeth bared, he reminds me of William, the Duke of Cambridge, but with hair.
OMG SUPER CHIPMUNKY and/or Beaverish was my take, also mad goofy in clothes!
He falls into the cute category for me. I think he would have made a better Peeta than Finnick. He sounds like a nice guy and I think he and his wife are a very lovely couple. I think his personality makes him more attractive to me than his looks. Every time I see a photo of him, I just think “what a nice guy!”
I do agree that the fangirls are not that into him because he is a happily married man, I have noticed the more single an actor is, the more fangirls they seem to have.

Yes!
I’d love to see him as peeta. Josh does nothing for me as Peeta even though I like him a lot as a person. I love how he fights for equality and gay rights.
But he’s not Peeta to me. Sam is more of my mental image of him.
Weird and it may just be me, but he looks like a younger, cleaner Fassy.
He is hot. I’d have him!
Me too. A lot of people don’t like him as Finnick… well then, more for me.
He’s adorkable, but Sam’s no match for My Otter.
He looks cute.
Nope! AND I don’t like him as Finnick. 🙁
Is it just me or are his legs super short? They look oddly disproportionate to his large torso.
He also looks like he has a body type that could gain weight very easily (and not hide it very well). He’s going to blow up if he’s not careful.
Oof, I’m snarky today. Having the flu for the 2nd time in a month (with a bout of strep throat in between) is making me seriously cranky!

He’s adorable! Hes super British with his humor and kind of dorky, I love it! Plus he looks great on the beach and I like that he’s not overly toned, he looks just right and not totally body obsessed.
I can’t wait for him to go back to his dark hair, the blonde was fine for Finnick but Sam looks better with brown.
I like him a lot. And Laura is stunning. They aleys seem so into eachother which is nice.
Hm, I had never heard him ranting about paparazzi so when I first saw these photos I assumed they’d set up this photo-op with the paparazzi because he’s promoting a new film. I still kind of think I’m right. I’m sure he’s been pap’d but I’ve never seen candid pictures of him until now.
Am I off-base in thinking these were pre-planned photos?
You’re probably right, those photos look staged. Funny how he changed his stance, he’s even smiling at the paparazzi.
I don’t find him attractive at all. I can’t really believe that their are people who dedicate their lives to following his career. Come on now…
I find him adorable and I adore silly.
I thought he was such a cutie in Catching Fire. I haven’t seen him in anything else.
He’s soooo, so lovely! I remember all the hate he got when he was cast, and now everybody adores him (just as they should, because he killed it”.
The curly top makes him look goofy to me. I think he would tip into the hot category with a haircut…at least for me!
He is a cutie and those dimples are just lovely 🙂
