I do get the feeling he's mixing business with pleasure whilst he's in the States - doing some kind of work and catching up with friends ...something like that anyway, because I think he'd have come home by now otherwise.
And yes, it was sweet of him - I do feel for him a bit that he goes for a quiet drink and still ends up with us all goggling at his pictures! I hope he'll forgive us!!

Well I believe he doesn't so much mind people asking for photos...
As to your other point, I still wonder if he has a little lady tucked away in the States

Me too;) but I don't want to get us into trouble by speculating!
I do think there's work going on too, though - even if it's just promo type stuff or casting meetings.

Ok, fine, I confess. It's me!
I even have my husband's permission.

I imagine if he has a girlfriend (Or even boyfriend) that he'd want to keep them hidden. I imagine they would be torn to shreds by some of the more crazy fans

This may partially answer questions

The title of the article really made me laugh.
One point, he can't have visited Zachary that recently, as Zachary is currently in Germany!

Well heat is a bit tongue in cheek, as you can tell. Can't take it as verbatim that's for sure.

I think if he had a lady, he'd have gone public. He had a couple of brief encounters last year and was seen out and about.

As for having a boyfriend, I think he's very much in touch with that kind of thing isn't he? But I don't think he's that way inclined himself. Not that it would bother me, whatever makes him happy

I wonder if Benedict will be at the MTV Movie Awards.

**Posted by clareiow** March 13, 2014 7:27 pm

Well I think that's a GREAT shout. He's up for best villain, the fandom are voting all day every day - I've seen people post on twitter!

So they're on April 13. Think he'll be in the US for a month then?

**Posted by besleybean** March 13, 2014 7:36 pm

Possibly.

**Posted by Tinks** March 13, 2014 8:05 pm

The heat thing is just a reprint of the NYT article, where the interview took place in November/ December so yeah, it wasn't recently that he caught up with Zachary, I don't think.
I don't think he will go public with any relationship on future, unless he's absolutely sure it's for the long term: I really think he just got tired of being asked about girlfriends.
MTV awards? Good shout - I still think there's more to him spending so much time out there than that though

I am sure something newsworthy will emerge soon enough. He's in hot demand right now so his agency will be wanting to make the best of it.

As I've said before, possibly on another thread, I think he's out there getting some R&R, doing a little business, maybe setting something up for SunnyMarch, obviously pre-production for Lost City of Z, maybe meetings with Weinstein about TiG. There's also the voice he's confirmed as doing for The Penguins of Madagascar, which comes out next year, so he could be doing that.

*fingers crossed* That show is usually pretty wild. I'd love to see what sort of mischief he could get up to there!

He could photobomb to his hearts content. And hopefully ditch the top-half tux and just show up in board shorts ;)

**Posted by Mrs.Wenceslas** March 14, 2014 6:38 pm

I hope he will photobomb all the pics from now on!!

**Posted by tonnaree** March 14, 2014 7:04 pm

I would be ok with board shorts.
Leather would be nice too.
*thud*

I wonder if Benedict has ever had any borken bones?

I wonder if Benedict has ever had a pet?

**Posted by Mrs.Wenceslas** March 14, 2014 7:06 pm

he mentioned having a dog when living with Olivia, I think.

**Posted by Mrs.Wenceslas** March 14, 2014 7:09 pm

and broken bones lead to think about broken heart....
