I got it from the festival site. Of course I have no idea about Polish grammar.

Anyone from Latvia here? It seems they add an "s" to most names. Benedicts Cumberbatchs or something like that.

I'm in shock since morning Getting a ticket seems to be a challenge but I'll do my best!

Well the google translate site turned a word that was supposed to say "star" into "Father Christmas", so everyone is joking about Benedict having to wear and red suit etc lol!

I check this thread sometimes because you write a lot here, but I never really understand what you're talking about. But you made me laugh now, with all your strange versions of his name...

I think his name would be exactly the same in Swedish. We have a boring languauge.

In Southern English we'd just call him "darling."

"Darling" works pretty brilliantly where I come from, too - at least in my opinion.

Here, I fear his name would be closer to 'WHO??'

In Danish btw, Benedicte is a girls name, one of our queens sisters is called that.

SolarSystem · April 28, 2014 7:22 am

...and I thought Sherlock is actually a girl's name...

Translated interview from a magazine in Poland, and it's really really lovely, reminding since more how bloody wonderful our man is!

*SIgh* I'm so glad I had a moment to read that interview.

He's such an amazingly real man, isn't he? I am happy he believes in himself more now. He's such a talent! And yes, Ben, you are hot too!

Tinks · April 28, 2014 11:45 am

I loved that - I really like the way he's trying to cling on to normality, and that interviewer had the knack of getting the natural Ben to emerge
I'm not surprised to learn he had/has self doubt sometimes, but he shouldn't, imo; he's a very gifted Actor and hopefully it won't be long before he's not doing those small parts in many films anymore - people will be knocking his door down to offer him starring roles!

Btw, I was just scrolling through my newsfeed on Facebook and was not surprised to see Ben's face... but I was delighted to see where it came from! the FCKH8.com site had used a quote of his and it just made me smile to see... (Yes, LGBT rights mean a lot to me, go figure)

"-It was a marriage, it wasn't a gay wedding. It was a wedding.
-And he asked me to officiate it and I'd do it wether my friend was gay straight or indifferent"

That quote means a lot to me too Phantom. His heart is as open as his mind.

This Is The Phantom Lady · April 28, 2014 12:07 pm

It truly is!!

This is what I found on my feed, btw, with the tagline from them 'He. is. perfect' and I couldn't agree more! <3

besleybean · April 28, 2014 4:02 pm

Yes, always loved this.

rebeccaholmes · April 28, 2014 5:44 pm

I love that quote too, just goes to show how respectful and all round bloody wonderful he is. Ben's views are something I find really fascinating, and it's more a reason as to why I'd love to meet him, to just talk about current affairs and stuff, his views are just wonderful.

tonnaree · April 28, 2014 6:13 pm

If/when my daughter gets married I think I'll ask him to officiate.

This Is The Phantom Lady · April 28, 2014 6:16 pm

D'aaw! I'm sure he would love to do it if you did ask!

Oh gosh, my poor husband/wife if he officiated mine.

Le Bear Polar · April 29, 2014 11:23 am

I don't know where to leave this but this is such a beautifully made video!!!

Well I guess we knew this already, but the Star Wars VII cast has been officially announced, and Benedict isn't in it

In fact, NONE of the big names I've seen rumoured are in it! No Benedict, no Fassbender, no Lupita Nyongo, no Oldman (despite Gary being quoted as virtually confirming he had a part!)
Doesn't the rumour mill drive you mad at times ?!

besleybean · April 29, 2014 6:33 pm

Well, you win some and you lose some...
On the plus side, sometimes the rumour mill makes me very happy undeed!
