Rupert took part in a sexy photo shoot titled ‘The Knights of Merlin’ for the cover of Gay Times magazine, along with Tom Hopper (Sir Percival) and Eoin Macken (Sir Gwaine).

• Issue number 398 (‘The Style Issue’, October 2011)
• Photographer: Leigh Keily

Oh, and there were words in the magazine, too.

Seriously, though. The Merlin men obviously get along really well, and enjoy each other’s company. It’s great to read an interview like this, which is mostly banter!
