Didn't know Le Mans was coming up! I should think it would be something Mr. C would be interested in, but then again, he must surely be flying off to the U.S soon, if he's going to be seen at all in Black Mass!!

In case you have not seen it - I put up a link in a new thread for Benedict narrating a video about modern slave labour in Thai fishing industry. Tbh, I like to see him doing such things as opposed to adverts for a plus 500 PS car (sexy as his voice may be).

I have it ready to be watched once I've finished my chores, I prefer him doing such things too... he has a special voice and he can reach a lot of people because of it and who he is. I think it's great that he gives those things a voice!

Yes. I hope because of Benedict even more people are going to watch it and buy their food accordingly. It is a good way to catch people's attention.

Well said, Susi.

I love the fact that Benedict is versatile enough to be able to lend his voice to all kinds of projects. He can pull off a - let's face it - basically unimportant Jaguar ad as well as a serious, relevant report about the Thai fishing industry.

Exactly, Solar.
He place his voice effective.

Morning guys!

Just a little note to say Benedict is NOT going to be at the Golden Nymph awards tonight.

Sad times....

Oh - I though that was why he was in France.
Ah well, if it means he's working then that's a good thing, even it does mean no suit batch!

**Posted by clareiow** June 11, 2014 9:53 am

He's been spotted back in London, I hope he's having a nice rest, and prepping for Black Mass

**Posted by SusiGo** June 11, 2014 9:54 am

Could this mean his hopes of winning are not too high?

One thing this guy hardly ever seems to do is rest!!!
It could just mean he's about to fly to Boston; he must be needed on set soon!

**Posted by clareiow** June 11, 2014 10:39 am

He could do another wonderful acceptance speech in board shorts again (praying!)

**Posted by gently69** June 11, 2014 10:41 am

Hmm ... Boston and boardshorts?

**Posted by clareiow** June 11, 2014 11:02 am

Well on a personal level is rather he started filming next Monday, after he's been to the festival so I can interview/dance/get drunk with him..... ;)

**Posted by gently69** June 11, 2014 11:11 am

Don't overdo it, clare, if he has to work afterwards.

**Posted by Tinks** June 11, 2014 11:47 am

The Festival! Of course - he's charging his batteries ready for that
Actually, might me my imagination but in the last few weeks there seems to have been a slight change in the stuff he's been doing; less showbizzy type events and ceremonies and more of the type of stuff he's had a long established interest in (Park Theatre, Hay, etc.,) and alone or with friends rather than with PR people/employees.
Maybe he's taking a step back from this sort of stuff for a while to focus on his upcoming acting work?

That man doesn´t need recharching - it seems he has energy enough to charge an atomic power station on his own.
If I traveled around the world in the way he is doing it, I would drop on the spot and wouldn´t be able to move for a month.

**Posted by Tinks** June 11, 2014 12:46 pm

I do often wonder how he manages to keep going!

**Posted by nakahara** June 11, 2014 12:48 pm

Power drinks, maybe?
