1-Both Bradley & Colin are right-handed. 2-Both Colin & Bradley have matching deep blue eyes. 3-They are virtually identical when it comes to their height. They are both exactly six (6) ft tall, Colin being only 1 cm taller than Bradley (in metric system). Colin is 1,83 m tall whilst Bradley is 'only' 1,82 m tall. 4-Bradley has always outweighted Colin, back on BBC Merlin, just like today. In August 2017, according to the latest official measurements, Bradley weighs exactly 187,39 lb (85 kg) whilst Colin weighs 'only' 182,98 lb (83 kg). 5-Colin has a deep & mellow masculine voice. 6-Neither Bradley nor Colin have all of their teeth anymore, but the replacements . 7-Colin used to smoke light cigarettes, before he quit in 2016 to improve his health. 8-Bradley is afraid of horses. It took him a 3 whole weeks just to learn how to ride a horse at the very beginning of filming the BBC Merlin. 9-Bradley &  Colin have both performed a secret ritual of bonding for life when still on set of BBC Merlin back in 2009. They became blood brothers for life. 10-Bradley is afraid of the dark. 11-Colin speaks fluent Gaelic, both the Ulster dialect & the Irish Gaelic, though he prefers English. 11-Without being anglicised, Colin's full name in Gaelic would be Coiléan Muírgen. 12-Bradley has learned how to ride a skateboard at age 10, when still with his family in Florida, USA. The BBC has forbid him to ride a skateboard when filming the BBC Merlin, yet they have no objections on Bradley riding a horse on set. Apparantly for the BBC riding a skateboard is far more dangerous than riding a horse! 13-Colin practices yoga daily for relaxation.  14-Bradley is wearing a silver ring on his right thumb. 15-Colin is an accomplished bodhrán (the Irish drums) player which he plays for his own amusement. 16-Bradley had a childhood dream of becoming a football (soccer) star.

He's also lactose intolerant &  alergic to most food, including the most vegetables, such as tomatos. 18-Bradley is a vicious & incorrigible prankster. 19-Colin also likes playing pranks on people.  20-Colin can't stand groupies, much less the paparazzi. 21-Bradley just loves cruising on his motorcycle (or his motorbike if you're from UK). 22-Colin is very shy when in public. 23-Bradley & Colin when off set usually call each other by their nicknames Brad & Col, or Cols. 24-Bradley is a natural blond, whilst Colin is a natural dark hair (black hair). 25-Both Bradley & Colin have dyed their hair in virtually any colour so far, depending on a character. 26-Neither Bradley nor Colin have been redhead so far, both on-screen, just like off-screen. 27-Colin is much more versatile actor than Bradley,  meaning Colin has played in radio plays, on film, on TV & in theatres. 28-Currently, in 2017, Colin is a bigger star than Bradley. He is well known worldwide & much more successful when it comes to his career. 29-Bradley had a nose job right after a horse accident which has happened on set of Merlin. It was out of necessity, not for personal reasons. For that same reason Bradley is looking very much different now from his younger self. It was not due to a natural ageing process. It was simply another case of Montgomery Clift plastic surgery, also done out of necessity. In Bradley's case, his plastic surgery remains unconfirmed by the actor himself. Even the BBC has agreed to a full cover up, including the rest of the Merlin cast & crew. They are all aware of what has happened to Bradley, yet all of them, including Colin, have kept it a secret from the rest of the world & remained loyal to BBC. The surgery itself made Bradley almost unrecognisible, even to his closest friends. 30-Unlike Colin, Bradley cannot stand a strong liquor. Colin's favourite drink just happens to be gin & tonic, whilst Bradley on the other hand prefers a lager (a light beer). 31- ...

Colin has simply sneaked into Bradley's bed. What was Colin doing in Bradley's bed so early in the morning in the first place, it's up to you to make your own conclusion. For your information neither one of them was dressed, or at least they were both topless, caught up sleeping right next to each other in a close & firm hug. The BBC has offered the maid a substantial amount of money to keep quiet about what she actually saw in that hotel room. She has accepted the money & she still keep their secret, even to this very day, in 2018! Colin usually sneaked into Bradley's sofa even when still on set of Merlin. 3-One of the Merlin cast once saw Bradley & Colin French kissing in between takes, whilst filming at the French castle, yet she never told that to the press. She has remained a loyal friend to both Bradley & Colin & remained silent ever since. Her name is not important for she doesn't need to be named in public. 4- ...
