Flaunt Magazine
Just Jared has a piece about Benedict hosting a Flaunt Magazine party for their "The Grind" issue. There's a bit about the party at Flaunt's website, as well as a very atmospheric video/interview shot during his photoshoot, if I've understood that correctly.

Re: Flaunt Magazine
Thank you very much for that video - the music and the atmosphere of it were magical and it was wondeful to be hypnotised by that wondrous sound of Benedict´s voice.

See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

And here is a scan of the article itself:

Re: Flaunt Magazine
I always say what Benedict said in the interview. That's also one of my mottos!
"I personally believe that heaven is on earth. That’s one of the mottos I live by: dance as though no one is watching you, love as though you have never been hurt before, sing as though no one can hear you, live as though heaven is on earth."
Why do some people don't understand that?

Re: Flaunt Magazine
IMO this is a very good article/interview. The journalist seems to be genuinely interested in Benedict's views and ideas and does not try for cheap headlines by asking after fanfic or otter memes and all that stuff. Wish there were more of them.

I absolutely agree. Some points in this interview make me shiver a bit.

Re: Flaunt Magazine
Yes. The Flaunt interview washed the lingering bad taste of OUT away.

Re: Flaunt Magazine
That also depends on how the interviewer ask. OUT wasn't a good example in this case. But the photos were fabulous.

Re: Flaunt Magazine
To be fair to the "Out" interviewer, it looks as if it was Benedict who brought up the subject of fanfiction (not the interviewer). And I do like that about Benedict, that he will go off on tangents rather than strictly limiting himself to promoting his latest project. This interview was more informative about Turing and The Imitation Game (although I keep feeling that parts are familiar!). And I didn't realise that he'd been so famous in the early noughties in the UK - I was slow to catch on! (I'd seen him on TV, but didn't really notice him until Hawking). But then I thought that just about everybody in the UK had heard of Turing, until recently!
I love that he recognises UNICEF and Medicins sans Frontieres, etc.
It seems that the interview took place on the way to the Barbican Centre - it's probably just coincidence, but I'm now imagining that he went straight from the Flaunt interview to the Out interview (wasn't that at the Barbican Centre?), which would might help to explain him wandering off the subject in the Out one.
