Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Didn't know Le Mans was coming up! I should think it would be something Mr. C would be interested in, but then again, he must surely be flying off to the U.S soon, if he's going to be seen at all in Black Mass!!

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
In case you have not seen it - I put up a link in a new thread for Benedict narrating a video about modern slave labour in Thai fishing industry. Tbh, I like to see him doing such things as opposed to adverts for a plus 500 PS car (sexy as his voice may be).

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
I have it ready to be watched once I've finished my chores, I prefer him doing such things too... he has a special voice and he can reach a lot of people because of it and who he is. I think it's great that he gives those things a voice!

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Yes. I hope because of Benedict even more people are going to watch it and buy their food accordingly. It is a good way to catch people's attention.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
I love the fact that Benedict is versatile enough to be able to lend his voice to all kinds of projects. He can pull off a - let's face it - basically unimportant Jaguar ad as well as a serious, relevant report about the Thai fishing industry.

Morning guys!
Just a little note to say Benedict is NOT going to be at the Golden Nymph awards tonight.
Sad times....

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Oh - I though that was why he was in France.
Ah well, if it means he's working then that's a good thing, even it does mean no suit batch!

He's been spotted back in London, I hope he's having a nice rest, and prepping for Black Mass

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Could this mean his hopes of winning are not too high?

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
One thing this guy hardly ever seems to do is rest!!!
It could just mean he's about to fly to Boston; he must be needed on set soon!

He could do another wonderful acceptance speech in board shorts again (praying!)

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Well on a personal level is rather he started filming next Monday, after he's been to the festival so I can interview/dance/get drunk with him..... ;)

Don't overdo it, clare, if he has to work afterwards.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
The Festival! Of course - he's charging his batteries ready for that
Actually, might me my imagination but in the last few weeks there seems to have been a slight change in the stuff he's been doing; less showbizzy type events and ceremonies and more of the type of stuff he's had a long established interest in (Park Theatre, Hay, etc.,) and alone or with friends rather than with PR people/employees.
Maybe he's taking a step back from this sort of stuff for a while to focus on his upcoming acting work?

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
That man doesn´t need recharching - it seems he has energy enough to charge an atomic power station on his own.
If I traveled around the world in the way he is doing it, I would drop on the spot and wouldn´t be able to move for a month.

Power drinks, maybe?
