Holy… heck…. you guys, what with those 'Flaunt' pics, then beautiful comments about 'idolizing' or not and the poetry. I'm deaded. Stopped in here because I saw one small Flaunt pic elsewhere and wondered if there were more, and knew I could count on. Then came across a link with all of them more hi-res, plus an extra one! Same table/chairs, but interesting choice for a set-up and apparently a sign in the window for a… *tries to read* some company's meat room?

G Wadley's Meat Room at The Stag, I think (pub restaurant). I have a table very like that!

I would like to take a moment to give kudos to the photographer. Excellent work.

Ahh, all right! Just neat choice of rooms… and, lighting… and having him be serious… and, thud.
*adds to the kudos*

I'm not surprised he's serious when the service is so awful! They haven't even brought him a menu yet. The saucer doesn't match in the third picture and in the fourth he's dropping a very heavy hint that he should have a bottle of wine in his hand.

I'm kidding ... they are gorgeous pictures, and I'm sure the service would be great if he was eating rather than posing! Love the outfit in the fifth picture, rumpled, and stretched over his thigh ...

I just love coming back home to this thread. The Flaunt Mag pics are to die for...

I laughed at this. Seriously, all the pics together say that! Where's my menu… why are you just staring at me… where's my wine… I should use that phone to call management… until he finally just walks out. Man… but when you get a good photographer who knows how to play with a setting… love it. Or can be intriguingly strange. Like that Vanity Fair tree pic - simultaneously went 'ooh, Ben!' and '…wut?' What are you doing in the tree, Ben? Why did they awkwardly put you there? It's okay dear, please come down… the mob won't get you!

Regarding leaked pictures from Richard III set - I had to see them for myself. It's kind of strange, but those photos of him goofing around, smoking, and joking, all in full costume in his armor - there was one shot where he was walking away in full armour with a plastic bag - just sort of takes away from the mistique of the movie, and probably what the producers where hoping to convey to the public to drum up interest in the film. They also were very funny in a way, and sort of took all the glamour out of movie-making as well. No wonder Ben didn't want them out there on the internet.

It's a difficult one.
I'm never certain of the law about taking and posting pictures of somebody without their permission...when they are in a public sphere.
I certainly dion't think anybody should do it wirth children.
I also understand a TV company wanting to kep the impact of their characters.
But we are not idiots.
I have no sense of the magic of film, I am a realist.
Incidentally, this is the same attitude I hold about an actor's private life...they are normal humans, so I have no illusions there either.
But I also understand certain viewers not wanting to see any spoilers...
Personally I don't mind seeing all spoilers,...
They have never ruined a show for me yet.
