- a review of Matthew Goode's 2025
Just when we were recovering from meeting Carl and all of the fabulous Dept. Q promotion - there was more in June! Including an introduction to Matthew's gorgeous rescue dog, Suki, on Happy, Sad Confused'. Although the poor thing was looking a tad tired due to all of the walkies Matthew was taking her on while he was at home 😂
"Please dad - not another walk!!!"
Matthew was the BEST GUEST EVER on Saturday Kitchen - including dragging his wife, Sophie, and his mate James on the show. I think this TV appearance was my absolute favourite of the year and looking at all of the comments on Saturday Kitchen Instagram - it was a highlight for other viewers as well.
We were blessed with yet another fabulous photoshoot for 'Square Mile' in June -
'Spiked' premiered at the Annecy Film Festival in June -
Matthew plays a rabbit with amnesia called Walter. (Can't wait for that one!) Walter has adventures with Holly the Hedgehog in this animated movie. 🤞🏻 for a wide release soon.
Matthew was the most hilarious guest on Chris Evans Breakfast Show as usual ...
Something very strange was happening on IMDb in the summer - Matthew was climbing up their 'Starmeter' ... to the very top and just stayed there. Surreal for us long time fans.
In August we got THE BEST NEWS about Dept.Q ! A second season -
In September we got even more goode news - Matthew Goode is going to work with a stellar cast (Michael Sheen, Nicolas Cage, Alice Eve, etc) on the new WW2 movie 'Fortitude'.
Praise continued to pour in about Dept. Q - meanwhile Matthew Goode poured some rum in this rare, unpaid, testimonial -
October started with Matthew Goode at last returning to play his beloved golf at St Andrews in the Dunhill Links championship and he finished THIRD overall!!
Also in October people visiting Greenwich shared some first sightings of Matthew filming 'Fortitude'. Amazing what you stumble across when you are just hunting for lunch!
In November it was great to hear that 'Patriot' audiobook narrated by Matthew was nominated and shortlisted for the Speakies audiobook awards. It didn't win but to even get shortlisted was an amazing achievement when you think how many audiobooks are released each year.
And just when we thought that Matthew was done for the year in December Edward Enninful featured Matthew in his new magazine EE72 with a great pic from Norman Jean Roy -
IMDb decided to give fans some more Goode news before the year was out - Dept Q was No. 8 in overall popularity on IMDb -
Not only that - Matthew was No. 2 'Breakout Star' - jeez it only took 25 years!
... and No.3 OVERALL popular for 2025. Woohoo!
What a year! I've loved it - mainly because Matthew finally got some appreciation for his acting talent. He has deserved this for so many of his roles - Burning Man, The Crown and The Offer to name a few outstanding performances but this is the first time that Goode fans feel that the rest of the world has caught up! For someone who is so self-deprecating - this whole thing must have been excruciating sometimes for Matthew Goode. But as fans - to finally see him 'Breakout' (HaHa!) and for his talent to be recognised has been a joy to watch. Well done, Matthew! At bloody last.
