Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
This is so not fair...
Discovery Science put a picture of Ben on for their advertising the 'Hawking' documentary they were showing... only to show the new version that doesn't have Ben in it.
It's still a great documentary... but meh...

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Now that you mention it - has anyone watched the trailer? I could not believe my eyes. There are scenes that look nearly identical to those from Benedict's film.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
I'm watching it now... the actor who plays him as a young adult looks exactly like Ben's Hawking. It's eerie

I've seen it, I'm looking forward to see that film and compare it with "Hawking". Both of them are probably based on the same sources so I'm not surprised some scenes are very similar.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Yay, It wasn't all bad! There was a short mentioning on the film with Ben in the "Wrong" Hawking film... and even Ben talking about how he depicted Stephen. Awh!!

Apparently Benedict Cumberbatch and Andrew Scott were in the audience of Richard III yesterday and cheered at Martin´s performance, how nice that they all are so supportive of each other!

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
And just look at him (Benedict, not the teddy!) right at the end when the teddy turns to him... Benedict actually backs off! He's scared!

LMAO!!!
Oh gosh... this is the best yet. I've never seen a man so frightened and disgusted by a teddy bear before!

That teddy bear only has one eye, maybe that's the reason.

That's cool. So very good to hear. I always loved when artists (musicians, actors, whatever) were supportive of each other and turned into fanboys for their friends.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Just read on tumblr a translation of an interview in an Italian magazine. It said that Benedict is a vegetarian. Never heard that before. Wondered if anyone else had.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Would be lovely but I do not really believe it. He has talked about a chicken recipe he can do, mentioned buying meat at the local supermarket. Maybe Martin has converted him by now.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Unless it's a recent conversion, he's not vegetarian that I know.
Martin definitely is.
Sometimes things are lost in translation.
I once had to correct a Spanish fan girl for saying Benedict went to catholic school, which he certainly didn't.
