More of the same air brushing and fiddling with his facial contours. ??? Except instead of his own little brother here, he looks more like a very attractive alien.

I knew it was a bad idea to come back on here. I'm a ball of mess on the floor.

The article can be found here. Such a good read http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/03/07/the-case-of-the-accidental-superstar/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=1

How about a gif of an overly attractive male that can make drinking look attractive?

rebeccaholmes · March 7, 2014 2:41 pm

How about ScruffyBatch featuring The Thing?

There was quite a bit of contouring done, wasn't there? Or maybe it's just the angle of the shot. Or maybe having his hair slicked back makes him look thinner.

A refreshing change from the usual suits. Don't get me wrong I love Ben in his beautiful suits but this more laid-back style is nice, too.

Still here, despite the headache!
Nice article - once of I've the nicest I've seen about him.
My stomach did a positively fangirly flip to read that he's friends with Zachary Quinto
Oh, and I know there's been airbrushing done but I don't think his contours are that different; his hair is very severe and that always emphasizes his lean face, imo.

Thanks for posting that. I found it interesting, a tiny glimpse into his real life, as it plays out in public, anyway.

Just found these two gifs and isn't it amazing how his faced has changed...?

rebeccaholmes · March 7, 2014 2:59 pm

...and is still just as beautiful.

rebeccaholmes · March 7, 2014 3:05 pm

And look at all this black and white sugary goodness.

Le Bear Polar · March 7, 2014 3:08 pm

Ohmygawd THAT LOOK. That cheeky gleam in his eyes is killing me.

Tinks · March 7, 2014 3:12 pm

I honestly don't think his face has changed that much - other than the fact that he's one of those people who can look different from so many angles, plus when he gains or loses weight it alters his face accordingly.
He's beautiful anyway, imo.

rebeccaholmes · March 7, 2014 3:16 pm

Well we can all certainly say that he is ageing gracefully and beautifully.

Even more beautiful, in my opinion...

I adore these photos I really do. I know what you mean about contouring and airbrushing but he looks so ethereal with it.

I don't really like the report though, doesn't paint his relationship with the press and his fans very well. I always thought he had a better relationship with his fans than how they're portraying it....

This is interesting. A bit older, but also I think it's because his head is a bit lower than in the first pic.

*sigh* Beautiful *sigh*

There's not much new stuff in the article, once again "Cumberbitches" and otters... If I read it correctly, they met up twice for an interview? Then I'm really asking myself what they were talking about and where all this stuff ended up... because it's certainly not in the article.
The photos though are really something...

clareiow · March 7, 2014 3:45 pm

Yeah I thought that, clearly not a very good interviewer!!
