Yes, this is an example of his passive Thing. He does both passive and active Things, but they're all related.

And as a side note, thank God he doesn't do that to his hair anymore, or wear those awful clothes he used to wear. I realize this pic is from a couple of years ago, at least.

So you don't like that style? Or did I understand it wrong? I LOVE it. And who knows? If a role requires it again?

I don't think that black and white 3-piece suit was for a role-- that's some kind of personal appearance that he was making, I'm pretty sure. And no, I don't like it. Much too.... um, something. Foppish? Affected? But anyhoo, he doesn't dress like that anymore. About 18 months or 2 years ago, he so obviously got himself a good stylist, and now when he goes out, yowsa, he looks wonderful. His hair is whoa!better these days, too.

Yeah, I know, that it wasn't for a role. But with his hair it could be similar again like on the photo.
I love this fancy style.

I personally love his relaxed laidback style. Seeing him in comfortable clothes makes me feel comfortable, if that makes sense. Not that I mind him in the suits of course.

And I agree his hair looks fantastic now.

He's at a fashion show in that pic so it required sartorial elegance

I'll take him however he's dressed!!

Well, he did wear the exact same outfit for a photo shoot, apparently.

Delicious, scrumptious, too-good-to-eat Benny!!

There's a lot of comments in here about how he's always touching himself. All I can say is...can you blame him?

gently69 · February 11, 2014 3:09 pm

He just isn't aware of it. You all have dirty thoughts! I have not! I am a step ahead...

If I were him I'd touch myself all the time too. HAHAHA.

This is a fake! He's been photoshopped to look like a character from something called Cowboy Bebop.

Not sure why tho.

I finally got through all the pages in this thread!

And here he is, smiling and pointing at me all cute, AAAW!

How long did it take you?

This Is The Phantom Lady · February 11, 2014 5:45 pm

A few days, I had to take a few breaks underway; else I would surely be a phantom!! But it was so, so worth it!

SusiGo · February 11, 2014 6:09 pm

I think you have deserved a medal for this, Phantom Lady. Or even better:

Mrs.Wenceslas · February 11, 2014 6:20 pm
