No tea or coffee, but I did just try to swallow my tongue, does that count?

Along with shall we begin? from STID, his dragon lines are some of Ben's greatest lines of dialogue from his movies, lolol.

can we add "I adore you" from August Osage County to that list? Because I melted when he said that.

If you tied his hands down (now, there's a thought....), he'd be mute. And don't miss The Thing there as well. Good grief, I cannot take it.

If you give up bathing, eating and going to the bathroom today, you'll have plenty of time. *smile*

Aw... this.
How shall I concentrate on work then???

I mean this in the nicest possible way, but he looks a bundle of rags and nervous energy here
It brings to mind someone who never sits still, whose thoughts are always running all over the place!
Still adorable though

I think this is old, just because he has that dreadful blond hair there, so I think that might have been at least 3 or so years back. But anyway, that's how he used to dress before his in-public style changed a couple of years ago (my theory is that he hired a very very very good stylist when he finally started earning some real money). He used to dress like a hungover college student who threw on his clothes in the dark. Thank god those days are over.

I think that's what I pretty much did...I've somehow managed to get my work done so I've done something right!

OK, here ya go, an example of pre-stylilst days, back when he got dressed in the dark. I mean, he's cute and all, but this is much too young a look for someone of his age and A-list status these days. He's grown up now! Yay!

I'm sorry but ....What. In. The. World. Is he wearing????

Don't be scared, that's just ancient history. Don't worry. lololol

Aw I actually find that outfit rather cute!

Tinks · February 18, 2014 4:29 pm

A hungover college student who got dressed in the dark is a good description
I kind of like it when guys aren't too obsessed by their looks, but then again I like it even more that he's started wearing things that make him really good to look at! I'm so shallow
Even if he hasn't hired a stylist, he must have become aware, like many of us probably have done at some time, that his wardrobe needed an overhaul! And he's probably done enough fashion shoots, etc. to have gotten a better idea of what works for him.
I imagine he probably gets given outfits to wear now by people who want him to be seen in their stuff.

Believe me that's not the worst of it. I'm tempted to dig up That Picture just to prove that letting Ben dress himself is not the best of ideas.

Have you got the one with the pink and green (or was it pink and yellow?) striped sweater and baggy too short jeans that were like yellow or something? There are some pictures around from 4-5 years ago that would curl you hair as tightly as Sherlock's.

Why? No one boo's here. In fact, we're rarely conscious here, since we're all busy falling onto the floor in a dead faint at least half the time. heh

Promo shots for Parade's End.

It's actually the kind of outfit that if my Boyfriend put it on, I'd refuse to leave the house with him

Clearly fashion wouldn't be his first interest if he didn't have stylists to have a quiet word with him :D

And a good budget to pay the stylists and buy the clothing they recommend. Whoever is dressing him really knows what he or she is doing these days. I sometimes wish he didn't always look so buttoned-up, but someone (Ben, his PR agent, his stylist, or all three of them) have decided that's the public look they want for him. At least he always looks whoa!perfect these days.

Maybe just his taste changed...

Oh, no. It was obvious about 2-3 years ago, his public look changed radically, like someone had turned on a light switch. He's been consulting with someone about how to look well turned out. Someone who really really knows their stuff, IMO.

This Is The Phantom Lady · February 18, 2014 4:36 pm

Mmm what is it with him and shirt buttons??

@Tinks aaaw! Well I guess it's just me who's into awkward and nerdy xD

He looks just like a perfect mannequin you'd see in a formal wear shop window. P-E-R-F-E-C-T. Even his hair, face, stance are all perfect. wow

This Is The Phantom Lady · February 18, 2014 4:39 pm

Just found this, and it sort of reminded me of the one with his fans outside Baker Street!

I think it's a hobbit premiere. Incidentally at another hobbit event...

Thud

Same as the navy velvet suit, only this one is burgundy. I wonder why he bought two of the same thing like that. But anyhoo, yeah, nice.
