That was what I thought! That makes sense!

Oooh, he looks awesome! And that background story was interesting - for the first time I'm starting to get really excited about this movie! (I am not into superhero movies at all, so it was really a stretch for me to even consider watching this).

Pooe man - he hadn´t much break from acting after Hamlet, it seems. Althrough this project looks exciting.

This is ridiculous - I don't like super heroes and I am not too fond of beards. And I find these to be the hottest pictures I've seen of Ben in a long time!

I weep for the beautiful ginger Hamlet-curls.... they are the thing of the past now.

Should we form a support group?

Good idea.

I reckon his hair is dyed and the curls are straightened by use of product (or a wig). That means his hair will be perfect for Sherlock once Dr. Strange is done shooting.

The final proof.

He looks fantastic!

This Is The Phantom Lady · November 5, 2015 3:39 pm

That's the sexiest homeless person I have seen in a long while!

gently69 · November 5, 2015 3:39 pm

Fantastic? Well, taste can be different. LOL

Yitzock · November 5, 2015 5:39 pm

To me, it looks like it's not his real hair, probably a wig.. But we'll see. It looks too long in the back to be his real hair, based on other recent photos of him, if you ask me. I could be wrong, but that's how it looks to me.

I know, I surprise myself. He looks ragged, worn, tired, unkempt and with baggy clothes - and can't remember seeing anything as sexy in a long while.

Yitzock - I was thinking the same, it does look a bit long in the back to be his hair. Then again, when you straighten curls, the hair can seem a bit longer.

Often more than a bit! My own curly hair comes down to just below my shoulders. However, when it's wet and straightened out, it goes all the way to my lower back.

I saw the pic on Twitter and think it looks pretty hideous...but I'm sure the finished celluloid product will be much better!

I suppose that's true and possible, then.

The beard isn't his own is it?

Then again, I grew up in a family of women and I've no clue how fast men grow facial hair
