(I'm not convinced Benedict won't ' do a Freeman ' and just live with his partner, but anyway...)
Let's hear it for Johnny Depp, too

Re: Black Mass
Hm, I don't think he gained any weight for the role. I know we've been talking about this a few days ago, but just look at him:

Re: Black Mass
So clothes, camera angles, or did they pad him?

No buttons in danger this time.

Looking at all the pictures so far I think it's just subtle padding.
But he still looks mighty fine.

He is playing someone known as "the corrupt midget."

Re: Black Mass
In the documentary Bulger was shown with John Kerry. The height difference was like father and small child.

Re: Black Mass
He's a bit of a tall midget I'd say... wonder if they're going to fix that with camera angles? Or just ignore it...

Re: Black Mass
It is kind of funny to me that Johnny Depp is made up to the hilt to look like Whitey but Ben does not really look much like Billy to me - height, weight, looks, the whole thing. I know he was a second choice for the role. What did the first choice guy look like?

And I said "dangerous" and here you are.
You. It's always you. John Watson, you keep me right.

That -is- interesting. (But still, looking at those pics, brain going 'super looking politician Ben!') (and then sheepishly 'he's so cuuute!!!')
