Ben helps out Laura Dern

Apparently BC was very mannered and helpful to Laura Dern according to this published story...

http://mobile.news.com.au/entertainment/benedict-cumberbatch-to-the-rescue-how-sherlock-saved-the-2014-oscars-for-laura-dern/story-e6frfmq9-1227188058688

Here it is in long form (in case the link doesn't work) -

LAURA Dern counts the 2014 Oscars among the greatest experiences of her life.

It wasn’t Dern’s career being celebrated — her Best Actress nomination came in 1992 for Rambling Rose and she has just been nominated for Best Supporting Actress — but that of her father, Bruce.

Bruce had pulled off one of Hollywood’s most remarkable career revivals by being nominated, aged 77, for Best Actor for his film Nebraska.His daughter was his date for the big night.“It was beautiful, oh my God!” Dern exclaims, lighting up at the memory.

“I’m like, ‘It’s the middle of the Academy Awards! You can’t leave!’ He goes, ‘You can do it, just leave and go get a Coke’. ‘I’m not leaving dad.’

“Benedict Cumberbatch happened to be sitting next to me — I don’t know him at all — and he was like (adopts super-polite English accent), ‘Oh does your father need a Coke? I’ll get him a Coke ...’“So Benedict Cumberbatch went and got him a Coca-Cola, which I thought was so adorable. That Sherlock!”

****************************************************************

He is so adorable and so well raised.

These is one of these little anecdoted which are so cute because they confirm Benedict's charming and polite character is not just an image he is projecting for PR reasons, but at least in part his "real" self.

Always the English gentleman. No wonder we love him.

English gentlemen are something of a dying breed here.

Absolutely, Hiddlebum is another one of this breed. The worst thing is you get such high expectations on the men you met.

Lovely little story. A real gentleman.
