(BTW I have a few more Armand casting suggestions sitting in my inbox, you’ll see more at some point)

I couldn’t find any gifs of Matthew Clavane, acting requires the face in motion, obviously, so it’s hard to say. But physically I wouldn’t kick him out of bed he has the right amount of ice and tenderness in his features (Armand is from Kiev, which according to AR is in Russia and according to the google is in the Ukraine so idek), looks like he could be Russian/Ukrainian, and he could definitely pass for 17. Lookit those kissable lips, you can see why Marius had to rescue him!

^Gonna need a nice warm coat when u go visit your folks in a frozen tundra 😉

^CU bc of reasons. Little ice prince.

Hit the jump for a few more.

^I really like how pronounced his birthmarks are in this pic, especially the lip one. There’s charm in imperfection, and it gives him an even more boyish appearance. I couldn’t find a pic of him smiling but I assume he is capable.

 ^I’ll forgive his awful hat that I tried to crop out as much as possible bc it’s TopMan and bc the blouse and velvet blazer are 70’s glam and kind of A+ on him.
