Well as john says..."with your cheekbones, and turning up your collar so you look cool!"

Course all Ben has to do is just stand there and we melt....

The bloke is plain dangerous!

He should come with a warning sign.

He really did waffle on, didn't he? Bless him.

His knowledge on the sport, mm, it makes him so much sexier!

**Posted by clareiow** March 29, 2014 7:21 am

Well I wouldn't call it waffle....it was all relevant and interesting!

Plus he used the word wafting....yummy ;)

I love how he corrected himself, the cutie! And the James Hunt mishap.

I think the way he talks is all part of that bundle of nervous energy that he is
And he's knowledgeable in so many subjects - I hate it when some journalists/interviewers
have little digs at the way he goes on; they'd be sorry if he gave them one word answers to everything!
Sometimes though, I do find myself thinking "brevity, Ben, brevity!"

I could never think that about Benedict, I could listen to him talk all day!

I would just like to second BB's comment.

He could read my bills out loud and I'd be happy!

BAH, Danish TV is being a tease...

Just watched the news and they were showing a lot about the F1 and then they said "The Grand prix draws in some of the worlds biggest stars" and here was me, all perked up.

Only to realize they were interviewing Michael Laudrup.

No sighting of Ben on the telly yet... but I stay hopeful!

This just makes me warm all over.

=15px“I was a kid until I was 18, really.=15px But the one grace of an all-boys boarding school is that you could lie about what you’d done on your holidays. Not like a mixed school, where you had to parade your girlfriend around the playground. I was a bit Hugh Grant around women. ‘Good gosh, er, do you mind if I, erm, touch, ah, it? Gosh, I feel funny now.’ I don’t hold it against my parents at all, but that’s why I would never send my kids to a single-sex school. I would have killed for experience. feck the grades. I was all, ‘I understand what girls are now – where are they?’ ”

Imagine poor young insecure Benny. Love how honest he is. As in, no, I have not always been the chrismatic lady killer you know today. *giggle*

I wonder if he still suffers with shyness around women now, bless his cotton socks.

**Posted by SusiGo** March 29, 2014 9:05 pm

Well, he does not have the reputation of a ladykiller in real life, does he?

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** March 29, 2014 9:07 pm

D'aaw I just want to ruffle young Ben's hair. That is so cute, a little sad, but sooo cute!

I hope his shyness isn't crippling him still!

**Posted by besleybean** March 29, 2014 9:08 pm

As long as he's happy...
