Yep he's at The Royal Court theatre, doing that kids charity thing.
Cumberbuddy posted a pic of herself there.

He looks kind of tired, don't you think? Then again, we know already that Hamlet is a very demanding show.

7 more shows to go!

Having a wife and a little baby are pretty demanding, too; his life has not exactly become uncomplicated in the last year or so. Anyway, I don't think he looks tired there, maybe bored more than anything, lol. He'd probably rather be home with his feet up, watching football on TV and drinking a beer. lol

I hope he'd rather be with said baby son!
Having said that, Benedict is very good at supporting charities in general and particularly those for young people.
Very noble to do this on his day off.

Words, words, words....

Which one of those fluffy things is cuter?

Gosh... his Hamlet makes me... just WOW!
Next monday in cinema again.

His Hamlet is magic. I can't wait to relive it on Sunday!

And I love the curls he's sporting today, though bless I have to agree he does look tired. But I can't blame him for that! Hopefully he knows how to handle his own life.

besleybean · October 26, 2015 5:35 pm

I just worry that he's so good hearted, he'd find it hard to say no to a childrens charity.

This Is The Phantom Lady · October 26, 2015 5:42 pm

Yeah, I have the same worries, but hopefully he'll 'sacrifice' something else...
I do worry though, that he'd end up burning the candle at both ends... Hamlet is like a marathon alone and should exhaust him... and add to that his family life and the rest he's doing.

But he should know what he's doing...

You gals need to try harder to not turn Ben into St. Benedict. I mean, seriously. Nice guy, very talented, looks good in his clothes, but.... he's just a guy, like any other guy, doing his work and trying to be a decent person.

Human after all.
A very very fine example of humanity.
But human none the less.

As an exercise let us all now imagine Ben with dirty feet, a hangover and morning breath. *giggle*

nakahara · October 26, 2015 6:41 pm

What? Benedict is not saint? No way!!

besleybean · October 26, 2015 6:46 pm

Sorry, I never even tried to claim Benedict is a saint...mainly because I don't think he is.
The picture we were discussing was of him at a childrens charity, which he was attending on his only day off in the week, when he has a young baby at home.
I would find it hard to say no to a childrens charity, anyhow.

nakahara · October 26, 2015 6:47 pm

Here is he even with a halo around his head:

tonnaree · October 26, 2015 7:23 pm

He may not be a saint but that doesn't mean I won't fall to my knees....................................ok. Moving on.
Nothing to see here.
