I would just sit there and stare... Like I've done meeting other celebs in public. I believe that they should be allowed to have their time off.

With Ben it would be killing me though

Agree with both of you:
I'd leave him alone, but I'd have no choice anyway because I'd be a gibbering, motionless wreck!

clareiow · March 16, 2014 2:26 pm

I'd have to say hello. I'd have to get eye contact. I'd definitely speak to him. I wouldn't miss that opportunity!

It's warm and sunny outside, let's make it the same on here!!!

Aaaw! Those are precious and just what I needed!

Third Star arrived earlier than expected; I'm still in tears. Why is he such a brilliant actor???

Mischievous face! Love it

... A little random. But then again... that's what I am.

I was listening to this song; and I really would love to watch the lyrics made into a film with Benedict as Jeremy.

Because he's blessed Phantom. He's truly blessed with the highest talent. And thanks to that and wonderful drive and ambition he also possesses he's worked hard to reach his heights. Now he's out there, the talent will really be showcased and now....the sky is the limit!

Heres a lovely behind the scenes pic from Third Star, Ben comforting Tom Burke. It must have been very emotional thing to film....

Aw bless you Ben! I really imagine it must have been hard to act in this film; They all did amazingly though. This is one of the most beautiful films I have watched in my lifetime!

Thank goodness for Ben's talent and the drive to get it out there; the world would really miss out if he just sat on his bum and thought 'hey someone else can do that...'

I love him so much. Gosh. I really do.

I think you've just broken my heart!
Beautiful post, beautiful picture, beautiful story behind it *sob*

*Hands out tissues*

It's ok Tinks. It's funny he says "the illness is mine but the tragedy is theirs" in the film and even in real life it's replicated.

That last night before he swims is agonising. I know it's not real but I just sobbed my heart out, I wanted to jump into the telly and take him in my arms and rock him gently in comfort. An actor has never made me feel like that. That's what makes him so bloody special.

This Is The Phantom Lady · March 16, 2014 2:52 pm

I am usually pretty good at telling myself that it's just a film and just acting when I watch scenes like that. With this scene I almost panicked. I wanted to help him; wanted to take it all away from him... It felt incredibly real... too real almost.

It's really changed my perspective on some things...

clareiow · March 16, 2014 2:57 pm

I felt exactly the same phantom. It really made me reevaluate things. I lost both my grandparents in the space of seven months, one to lung cancer. But they were old, so while I grieved them it didn't make me think too much about my own existence. Third star however, did. I'm only 32, and there's so much more I want to do.

Gonna lighten the mood with cutie Ben!

Tinks · March 16, 2014 3:05 pm

I really wish Third Star was on Netflix!
I have it on order now though from Amazon, along with Hawking.
Weird, I know, but Ben's energy makes me want to do more with my life, too - it's something I really want to work on; making the most of my life

He wouldn't ride the tube if he didn't want to get bothered by people. Srsly. He has transportation options (taxi, private car), after all, so if he decides to jump on the tube, that's with the full knowledge that he'll be mixing with the unwashed public, he will probably be recognized, etc. He'd probably wonder what was wrong, if no one approached him!

This Is The Phantom Lady · March 16, 2014 3:06 pm

Aaaw and curls!! I just want to play with those amazing curls!!

I've lost most of my relatives to cancer the past 6 years. I've sort of grown dull to death and illness... Third Star has given me a whole new view on all that; and I'm glad it did... I need to pay more attention. I need to be there more... and I need to get my stuff together.

Aw, and look at this:

I agree with you on the one hand, but I also think that he's still trying very hard to be this "normal" guy who just happens to act for a living; I don't know how long he'll be able to keep that up though - if he gets any bigger, it'll be very hard for him to go on in the same way: everyone will want a piece of him!!

clareiow · March 16, 2014 3:37 pm

Well he probably doesn't ride the tube as much as he used to, but in a city of a few million you can easily be lost. Unless you know who or what you're looking for. Chances are he's walked past me or I've shared a tube with him before, I've just not seen him lol!!

Phantom - I'm sorry to hear that about your folks. But as you say, Third Star really does offer a new perspective, i think. My husband's brother, James, died from cancer aged 16, when hubby was just 12. I think it might be too close to home for him to watch, although I do believe he would be inspired by it too.

This Is The Phantom Lady · March 16, 2014 3:50 pm

Oooh he sure is lovely!!
D'aaw he's so handsome I nearly messed up the green nail varnish I'm in the middle of applying!

I'm also sorry about your husbands brother, Clare. I just try to ignore all of it; and that is wrong... I can't use the 'too young to deal with this' excuse anymore. It's not fair!

Okay, I need to get myself together. I'm leaving in less than an hour to my first taste of working for the Eurovision! And who knows, I might find an Irish pub later. St. Paddy's is tomorrow!
