It's okay - Fassbender fixed the tie

That was great, and the German tv presenter looked a bit dispensable there for a moment.

It's adorable - I've watched it too many times already
Plus, the crooked tie did bug me - I felt sad that no one had straightened it before he got there!

I don't know why the Instagram comment says their bow ties as Benedict is not actually wearing a bow tie, is he? But then again...if he struggled with a conventional tie a bow tie (unless a clip on or on a bit of elastic) would be a recipe for disaster. Mind you having your tie a little bit off kilter is quite a public schoolboy thing to do. Loving this photo though...can't think why!

Oh I still have it on the harddrive of my reciever, need to look for this...

I can't seem to open the link

But I'm feeling as in love as everyone else here anyway. He blew me away....if there was any doubt about the strength of my adoration for him, it's not there now.

Yesterday was his official arrival I believe. He made it. And I'm so bloody proud!

Loved Fassbender straightening his tie! How adorable! Thanks for the link!

Aw those videos don't work in my country! But thanks for posting anyway!

And thank you, Fassbender! I'm generally of the belief that people can wear what ever they want... but a tie knot, now that's my 'thing'... I once spent a day trying to tie my own ties and nearly lost my mind! So granted it's hard to do!

He looks genuinely pleased to see Ben when he turns around and sees him, too - I love when people show him affection *warm feels*

I prefer suits without a tie. You can be serious without a tie ^^.
Sherlock style ;).
Better wear a scarf instead...

Right. But for the Oscars IMO it should be a tie at least.

I loved the suit and the tie. He looked wonderful.

I have a rather long and detailed list of ideas.

I'm quite sure you do

xD, Ben and that point! Is that a CumberPoint now?

**Posted by Mattlocked** March 12, 2014 3:13 pm

Did anyone post this video of the photobomb already?

**Posted by Le Bear Polar** March 12, 2014 3:23 pm

awww I LOVE IT! That Jaws music. XD It's filmed as if the camera knew what Ben was up to, though!

Amazing! I didn't realize there was video, I thought just a few lucky photos. I love how he goes with a purpose - I thought he was just walking behind and took advantage of the situation, but he legitimately weaves through the crowd to get there!
