You know how Benedict Cumberbatch is a workaholic who simply cannot sit still and enjoy a few weeks off? Well, Benedict took another gig. This time, he took another commercial gig, only this time it’s not for his long-standing sponsor Jaguar. In fact, I think this commercial gig means that Bendy is officially not on Jaguar’s payroll anymore, which is sad because Bendy really shilled his heart out for Jaguar, even setting up paparazzi photo ops where he nuzzled Sophie Hunter against a Jag. But no more! Nowadays, Benedict is going to nuzzle his wife against the MG GTS. Here’s the commercial:
MG Cars Benedict Cumberbatch TVC 2015 from MARKETING INTERACTIVE on Vimeo.
It’s very much inspired by Sherlock. Even the music is Sherlock-esque. I have to admit… Benedict looks really good here. This was done before he got his silly hipster-fauxhawk haircut. He looks tan and dapper.
Marketing Interactive notes that Benedict will “also appear at MG’s branding event at Shanghai tomorrow.” Which probably means he’s already en route to Shanghai as we speak, and he’ll likely be through the next week, because he’s hosting the Laureus World Sports Awards in the same city on April 15th. Damn, I hope Sophie wasn’t expecting Benedict to stay close to home during her final weeks, you know?

Who?
Pardon me. This thread is otter only. No owls.
Squeak?
His face could illustrate the word “overexposed” in a dictionary
Both Otter and Comet could illustrate “car commercials” as well.
I want to see them shill something else, like contraception.
He is totally over exposed in the UK to the point where comedians and even other actors have been know to make jokes.Like when one of them was handing out an award for a technical award and and he said the winner goes to Benedict Cumber batch and every one laughed.
That’s not really anything to write home about, given the constant ribbing in UK circles. It’ll be someone else’s turn soon.
(Not to mention it’s bound to happen if you’re making a go at the US, which is totally understandable given the better roles, wider berth available and bigger size. That’s why so many UK actors dabble in both.)
It’s funny because people say that here, fishbowl effect, but it’s not really true. Most of the general public still don’t know who he is and will never see 1/2 of this stuff.
He’s only overexposed if you willingly go to niche places and click on posts like this.
Hush, Justsaying, they can’t complain as easily without the illusion of being forced to see this dude intact 🙂
I wouldn’t even care but it’s not witty or entertaining anymore. Just a mix of overreactions with obvious butthurt from fans of other guys. Don’t leave comments if you don’t want more posts, not hard.
He’s not niche. He’s all over my facebook news feed and I follow general public accounts like Buzzfeed, Entertainment Weekly, the Hollywood Reporter, etc.
He is. Entertainment Weekly and HR don’t post nearly as much about him. You won’t see minutiae like Chinese car commercial on there. Your Facebook feed is determined by your behavior and that of people in your circle, and what isn’t on BuzzFeed? It’s mountains of crap about everything and everyone.
The majority of people couldn’t pick him out of a lineup outside of the UK.
The illusion of seeing him intact? Do you mean he is actually in separate pieces? How gruesome! I need some Cheez-its and a Comet Sophie to recover from that image
And this place used to be witty. Sigh.
Oh, give me a break–the ‘only fangirls know who he is’ is getting old and wearing as thin as a Tom Hiddleston t-shirt.
When the New Yorker Magazine makes their Daily Comic a poke at how one is overexposed, one is DEFINITELY overexposed!
Ha, I love the irony of your moniker, since you seem to lack the sense of humor that we’re enjoying here.
TB, you just HAD to mention the thin T shirts, huh? Now I have to go back and stare at those LL snaps again. le sigh
eh, Totallybiased, that’s kinda true in a lot of places still. His q score in the US was still dang low when i last checked, like only 2/10 people could identify him.
you want niche, it’s the new yorker lol. low circulation
“Your Facebook feed is determined by your behavior and that of people in your circle, and what isn’t on BuzzFeed? It’s mountains of crap about everything and everyone.”
That is partially true and false. I don’t even google Ben. I don’t click on articles about him. He still shows up on my feed anyway. On a daily basis. Why would I make this up?
that is what facebook says, jammypants. also a very high number of comments/likes can do it, but his stuff usually isn’t in that league.
but if someone you follow on FB likes a story, it will show up on your feed fyi.
i actually don’t get him in my facebook feed at all usually. just once, with a passed around oscar nominee list article
He doesn’t show up in my facebook feed. No one I know likes the Cucumber.
He’s overexposed when you go on DailyMail,Tumblr or Celebitchy .
Yep, DKMIF.
Short story is he’s only overexposed if you want him to be. Very easy to avoid.
I would go on a limb and say that 95% of Americans still don’t know who he is. So, if you call that overexposed then prepare for a nuclear blast of overexposure in 1 year when promo for Dr. Strange comes.
I can’t speak for the UK.
The guy is just making money like the rest of the actors. I see nothing wrong with it. If I were in his position, I’d be doing exactly the same.
BBC and Indy movies don’t pay that much.
Ah, yes.
Sooo many low-paying indie movies backed by Harvey Weinstein.
What percentage can identify Justice Alito?
ironically, jessica, he did TIG for peanuts, like scale
weinstein was just the distributor, not a financial backer. he bought the rights to it after it was made already
What percentage can identify Justice Alito? >>>
Higher than the number of people who can identify Cumberbatch.
Alito and other Supreme Court justices appear pretty regularly on CNN pages. And he was on CNN almost every other during and soon after his nomination.
When you see Cumberbatch on CNN every day for months like the story about missing Malaysian plane, then you can say he is overexposed.
According to the ABA, two-thirds of Americans cannot identify a single Supreme Court justice. Alito is pretty low on the list of being recognized within that percentage. His confirmation hearing was 9 years ago
His confirmation hearing was 9 years ago>>> That long ago? I remember it like it was yesterday. I am getting old.
Funny because I always think of his face as “under-developed”. He just looks so bland to me. It’s like he’s a painting that the artist called away from. There’s something just “off” about his look to me. He is not attractive; I wouldn’t give him a second look.
I have to go with adorable. Love the allusions to Sherlock, from music to the style of cinematography.
So much for nesting.
There are nests in Shanghai
Bird nests don’t count.
LOL nesting doesn’t mean never working.
Especially since the current buzz has Doctor Strange being filmed (at least partially) at Pinewood studio in Atlanta in addition to London.
I’m waiting for the story about the PI’s hired to follow around David Misgave’s (did I get his name right?) Dad by David Misgave. Lol. I can be anywhere on the web, but no one tells a good Scientology story like you guys! 😃 K, now I will go and read this one. 😉
sell-out
Air pollution getting worse in Shanghai now…..
http://aqicn.org/map/china/
Wow, that’s awful
So who is the new voice of Jaguar? I vote for Mark Strong or Idris
Although Ben Kingsley would be good and would fit in with his position of leader on the Super Bowl commercial
Strong wins!
Wow, that poll closed fast!
Strong… I’d order 24 episodes of that!
STRONG!!
Sorry I’ll sit down
Everything about this guy is tedious–everytime he does something, everytime he opens his mouth, everytime he poses for pics, everytime his name is in print. Every time people come to this site and see his name (which is daily) is tedious. And no, I don’t read the articles about him, I don’t want to. I just come here to say EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM IS TEDIOUS!!! Bye! Enjoy all you obsessed people.
I read Briargal’s post to the tune of “Everything is awesome.”
The song I have to play every damn morning on the way to school. Thanks a lot for reigniting the ear worm, lilac!
“everything is cool when you’re part of a team”
Dip my body in chocolate frostin’ does make me think raunchy thoughts. Maybe it’s not such a bad song.
Advert was filmed couple weeks after that so called pap picture and would of been a brand ambassador before advert and therefore contracted to MG, so really not a jaguar pap picture, sorry to dissapoint your claims but u either are not intrested to ensure accuracy of your articles. Perhaps that’s a stretch and not your aim. It’s sloppy & reflects on your ability to show you actually have any idea what you are talking about, bitchy please but facts are important.
Jaguar implied on twitter that it was set up.
@Kit
His entire tumblr fandom has gone to crap now anyway. The people who don’t blindly worship SH are attacked, those who just like his work are pissed and leaving because he’s not doing anything, and anti-skeptic blogs are cyberstalking and leaking personal information about the people who say things they don’t believe in.
@Felice
The people who just like his work, the fanbase but not in the fandom, won’t go anywhere as they’re not following any of it.
Most fandoms go to crap or have crappy sections even if you don’t see it right away. The nature of fandom is bad and good. Good because people can enjoy what they love in group, bad because they start projecting onto their fave, behaving bizarrely and taking it too personally. I avoid ’em like the plague usually.
Actually, this is not strictly true. I know people who don’t know what tumblr is and they are over him anyway. Too much exposure. Perhaps in the US or elsewhere you don’t notice it, but in the UK we do. The man is everywhere, or at least was until a minute ago.
The problem (if we want to call it that) is that BC’s appeal is strictly linked to his internet boyfriend image. His fanbase is mostly made of women and we all know how fickle we are 🙂
Honestly, I don’t know how it’s going to play out once this side of his fame dissipates. He’s a good actor, but there are many as good or better than him. And some of them are a lot more versatile.
Nothing is strictly true, hermi!, outside of things like water is wet 🙂 But most people just don’t follow this stuff or remember things they do see.
Any boyfriend image is always doomed by age and projection. He’ll be fine as long as he isn’t loose with his money. Make/save enough and eventually you can take good but low-paying projects until you retire.
Versatility is always a sore spot with some people but I’m not as bothered by actors who aren’t truly set money wise.
My view is unless the actor’s got free range financially, like born with a trust fund or getting a multimillion dollar project paycheck in the bank early, you won’t know how versatile they are because they’ve got to take the best of what’s offered and avoid big risks. It’s like being a small business instead of a big corporation.
many fansof personality equal to moreso than the work move on one day. they either get bored or become disillusioned by the celeb doing something human.
its funny because i like flawed celebs better i think, as long as its not like domestic violence or something.
as far as im concerned, if youre around say 5 years or more, meeting tons of people and giving a million interviews, you should mess up. if you dont, it means youre on some sort of fake script all the time, and one day maybe ill hear about how you drowned puppies or something.
@kit What are you on about? 🙂
Range has very little to do with money! Look at Tilda Swinton: she’s played anything from vampire to corporate lawyer to Russian milf to man/woman (Orlando).
Benedict just does not have that kind of range and if he had a gazillion pounds and could do anything he wanted, he still would not have it.
I don’t mind, I like him playing aloof genius or cold villain. But I’m just saying I’m not sure how lasting his appeal will be.
Anyway, I have a soft spot for artists who throw away mainstream fame to do their own thing (see Bowie). Which is maybe why I like BC a lot less these days.
@j I agree with you that flawed is better than shiny-blank-behind the eyes like T. Cruise. But if you – like BC – are famous for being approachable and dorky, fans may not take it very well if you suddenly become Mr Iceman. 🙂
@hermi!
Range can have a lot to do with money. Guess who’s from an incredibly wealthy family? Tilda Swinton. She actually funded some of her own projects.
I know it sounds a bit silly, but It’s really easy to display range when you can afford to be picky. You can take a wide variety of roles because it doesn’t matter if you get paid peanuts or don’t hit it big, since you’re financially secure already.
If you’re not set going into this line of work, you’re taking the best of what you can get, which often leads to typecasting fast. So you pay your dues and build your nest up until you can tolerate risk and low or no pay jobs, or just make your own projects.
I guess the short version is you don’t really know what his range is for certain because he may very well may not have many opportunities to show it. A quick IMDB glance tells me he tried to step out of the box early on but is quickly typecast after Sherlock.
He’s not exactly poor either, is he? And he doesn’t seem to be in any particular hurry to do something different.
You need to be the type of actor who wants to tale a risk (and I’m not talking of a monetary risk).
Tilda worked with Derek Jarman early on in her career; I don’t see someone like BC doing the equivalent, money or no money. He simply doesn’t have it in him. He’s a lot more conservative and craves to be mainstream (he said it himself he would like to emulate the likes of Matt Damon…brrrrr).
I guess the short version is you make the opportunity not the other way round 🙂
Not poor yet not set. His last asset estimate still isn’t enough for him to retire, as they have high expenses. Also, the roles choose the actor, not the other way around unless you’re really high status. Way more actors than parts.
It’s fair if you don’t think he’d do what Swinton did, but it’s not a case of making the opportunity for everyone. That’s idealistic but not realistic for an actor without a trust fund who wants to retire or have freedom one day.
Acting risks=monetary risks because two or more missteps can hurt your high earning years or halt your progress.
The shirt versios this time is that you won’t really know until after Strange, which I’d guess would cement him financially-yes I realize Marvel doesn’t pay well but it’s his first payday that’s over 6 figures.
Your expectations are too high, it’s pretentious Tumblr here now.
TIMELINES ARE IMPORTANT. They should be established to the nano-second.
The future of the Galaxy hangs in the balance.
How else did we land on a comet?
The future of COMETS hangs in the balance.
We didn’t just drunkenly crash into one after bouncing too high?
Some just can’t stop with just one Comet Sophie.
eh felice jaguar’s twitter account person could have just saw a free promo op and just took it
this is actually step up for him money wise and in general, since he was just the voice of jaq and not the face
[im dying at pretentious tumblr ngl, i can’t unsee it now]
He did that “Alive” promo though.
Do you realize you’re on a gossip site, right?
Stop making sense mtnrunner. It’s so tedious.
Self righteous commenters who don’t get what this site is about are precious, aren’t they, sighs?
Oh, the irony above…
Weren’t pap pictures from February and commercial filmed in March? Contracts tend to end/begin with a month
No, you’re making too much sense! Stop.
Branding events should be abolished. Should I ever become Leader of the World (and a leg-end in my own lifetime), they would be the first to be lined up against the wall and shot.
So capital punishment would exist under your rule? Or are you shooting them with squirt guns?
She’d be pelting hedgehogs with her catapults.
Thinking… thinking… thinking…
…. ooh, I know. Do you have spud guns stateside? Or what about splurge guns a la Bugsy Malone?
Anyway. It’s only the events. Not the people AT them. I’m not sure what I’d do to the bouncers paid to appear at them. Sentence them to anonymity?
Spud guns, yes!
Between BennyAnnE, Eastwood, Kardashian and Renner, it’s Douchebag Friday.
We need Hiddles as a palate cleanser.
Lucky for you, there’s an entire Internet out there.
That’s much too big an ocean to swim in.
How weird. A car commercial set in London, but driving on the left side. Shouldnt it be on the right, even if its a commercial for shanghai.
What are you talking about, you drive on the left in Britain.
I think she meant left side of the car, not the road.
Don’t be too hard on BC, you guys. He has a wife to keep in custom made Valentino gowns.
do they come with pockets?
Florals?
I wonder why no one has yet solved the mystery of the wedding gown. Why was she wearing one in Vogue and another one at her actual wedding????? IF only Sherlock were here…..
People fooled with the filters on the Vogue picture saying it was the sun that made it look cap-sleeved but it was overcast that day so no dice.
It’s the same dress, probably altered before the wedding. It looks like the sleeves and high collar were removed but the shoulder lace looks the same.
If it was the same, why has the Vogue pic been pulled from so many sites (including this)?
Sophie also has a new car commercial out for SEAT in italian, with more screen time than her last one. It looks like it was filmed before she became pregnant but it was just released.
Say what?!
And I thought Italy couldn’t sink any lower…
Well, they do have a national diving team…oops, I mean football team….
SHAMELESS THREADJACKING ALERT:
CHemboy was spotted in LA yesterday and AoU premier is Monday… we’ll get to balance out all the BC nesting posts with some Avenger promos starting next week. Can I get an Amen?!
Amen for Chemboy
Wahoo!!
Not for Chemboy but just general Avengers press promo tours. They’re always fun.
We may even see Hiddles at some point if he’s available (I’m thinking London premiere)
Now that the secret’s out (thanks, Idris), you know Marvel would want Loki there, if possible. I hope he pops up somewhere along the promo tour. He managed to squeeze in Attenborough’s memorial and LL during NM shooting.
Boy, that snuck up fast! It would be fun to see Tom on the red carpet, but I think that’s only likely if TNM is still shooting in the UK. But are we sure Marvel would want him there? They’ve been hyping Ultron as the new big bad, would having Tom/Loki at the same event as Spader (I’m assuming he’ll be there) be a distraction?
Lord, I just had another thought – now that Cumby is in the Marvel Universe, could he possibly show up in London for AoU? Yikes.
OMG you had me at MG! I looked and am so disappointed. Sadly. I had a ’68 MGB and that car was sexy trouble. Le sigh.
Oh boo..my first car after college was an mgb..named it Dr Watson and did love that car so! Ended up selling him to the mechanic who..towards the end..spent more time with it than I did. Would love one more drive, though..sigh..
This is even more proof – if needed – of how fake these ads are. We saw him in the still pics for this ad and he looked about 50 years old.
He’s going to China with his niece and friend.
He looks he is rather lovely in this, love his wrinkles, we don’t have those water hydrant things (not sure what they are called) here, at least I am pretty sure we don’t.
Correction: he still looks 50 years old in the open air shots (which maybe they didn’t bother to airbrush). He’s a lovely man, but it’s astonishing how much he’s aged in one year. Whatever happened to him I don’t know, but man, if that’s what happiness does to your skin, I’d rather be miserable. 🙂
That is what smoking does to your skin.
Didn’t he say he had quit smoking (hence the constant chewing of nicotine gums)?
Rule 1 about B: He lies.
eh let’s be fair: i was a smoker, i quit 7 different times before it stuck. pretty common.
he wont look so aged if he gains back weight.
I kind of like him looking older, foxy.
It’d be fine if he looked older when he actually is older. Not yet forty? Not so much.
I do not. I liked him better fresh- faced. But maybe it’s because it’s happened so suddenly, I haven’t had time to adjust 🙂
Awe, that was nice. He looks great.
I would bonk him.
@pushkar Didn’t you say you were married with kids? 🙂 🙂
hermi!, there is a “pass” list for most marrried people. BC is at the top of mine. Hubby knows if he comes knocking at my door one day, I’m gone for a few hours (hopefully longer). 🙂
I am, and I am ten years older than BC but I pretty sure the other half would give me special dispensation for him! Haha. My family and friends know I love him and think it’s funny, I am lucky too because both my boys adore Sherlock so I have an excuse to go to the Sherlock Event later this month with them and not stand out among the teen girls! Younger son wrote an episode for fun and shoved it through Moffits letter box.
Can I just say that I love this forum, you are all level headed and think things through, other sites seem to either think he is a god and SH a Wonder Woman or they are full a crap theories so full of hate for SH. They are just people at the end of the day with flaws like we all have.
I think he (BC) would have avoided a lot of madness if he’d been more straightforward. After all, who in this day and age cares if you get engaged to a woman already pregnant with your child?
Instead he pretended to be this very traditional guy and he’s kept lying about it until the truth was finally out.
How do you mean he lying? Lying about what? I believe he got married because she was pregnant because he sees it as traditional to get married before you have a baby and I agree with you that it’s bollocks in this day and age, my kids were at our wedding, nobody frowned. It’s very traditional to put the announcement in the paper, whether it’s your local paper or if you are posh The Times so I don’t understand why people made a fuss about that.
He lied in that he was still saying at the Oscars that they planned the wedding in November before she got pregnant. She corroborated the statement in Vogue (about the November planning, that is). Now, you tell me if that’s a woman who wasn’t expecting already in November.
And what about “we weren’t together at the LFF because we weren’t engaged yet”? We know now that she was expecting already back then.
As I said, had he been more open about it, the madness would not have happened.
Not saying he should put his business out there, but if he does and lies….
I will still never understand that LFF statement. That is such a flimsy excuse. It’s only because people knew who she was and were wondering why she didn’t walk with him. Keira’s husband didn’t walk the carpet but he walked with her inside the theatre. She allegedly arrived separate from his family and darted inside.
He said that? Didn’t the announcement say she was a few months as of January 7? I think that was also being generous. And I’m still wondering if the kid is his.
And do people think he’s happy now? Lol
We’ll have to wait and see, Carmen.
@pushkar, I think people raise their eyebrows because he’s made many contradictory statements. No, he doesn’t owe us access to his private life, but you can’t help noticing odd behavior and comments (that are on record) ex: what hermi just said. It was a weird couple of events.
He does seem very traditional though, and the way they went about the engagement sort of confirmed that. Apparently, her family is also very traditional from what I’ve read.
Yeah I have to agree with you, looking back he has said some odd stuff, I did wonder for a bit if he was gay but then I started hearing that was a player on the side which he was entitled to be being single. And of course him being with Olivia Poulet puts paid to that. I think I go with the accidental pregnancy thing and now they are making the best of it, I wish them well. Sophie is ok, I don’t think she is that bad however I kind of wished he would have ended up with someone more earthy and bubbly, like Olivia. Hey ho what do we know, they might be perfect together in private.
If she’s as snobbish as some people think, then they are perfect together, judging by the snotty note he wrote to his Shanghai driver.
Please tell me people realize that’s an inside joke between him and the driver, as the driver loved the note (fyi traffic in Shanghai is horrendous, so they would have been stuck for hours, probably with the driver screaming at every stuck green light).
I didn’t see that as snobbish at all. It was pretty funny and silly
Actually, even some of the nannies on imdb were appalled, but then there’s also a contingent of excusers coming out.
*sighs* If it was remotely serious or insulting, you’d never have seen it.
Exactly An. Plus imdb nannies don’t have a sense of humour that anyone is aware of.
nobody does apparently, claire. like common sense people, it would not be on twitter, posted by a big fan nonetheless, if it was an insult
@an–the driver could have been super fast through the traffic too, which makes it funnier tbh.
I think the note is obviously a joke, but I do think they are both rather snobbish and while he pretends to be down to earth, SH at least shows her true colours.
The fact he chose this type of woman (posh, bland, well connected) says it all about the man he is. I still think he’s a fine actor, but as a man, I wouldn’t believe a single word that comes out of his mouth.
Even the fact that he’s so clever (allegedly) he had trouble finding a girlfriend who could measure up, frankly I think it’s all rubbish. Especially since he hardly ended up with the equivalent of Marie Curie.
yup, i saw it as a joke too. how anyone could find it offensive is lost on me.
@hermi, I also don’t believe he had trouble finding a girlfriend. Plenty of women like well-spoken men who can be silly and aren’t “golden ratio” beautiful. I don’t think he’s as clever as everyone makes him out to be but I do believe that he is very status conscious. And it creeps into his interviews. Also, talking about whether or not a couple is “a good fit”, can’t get “just anybody pregnant”, two people making a “good combination”, his mother wanting him to find someone “suitable”. So I think SH fits the bill in that sense.
Well, I’m going to be serious for a minute 🙂
It could be part, all or none of the above since we don’t really know them or the progression of their relationship. Could be two birds of a feather, opposites attract (my sister and brother in law to a ‘T’), or a casual fling that resulted in pregnancy, since people usually aren’t looking for long-term partner qualities in a fling. Both opposites attract and casual fling would explain odd behavior in public.
@Toodles45–I could see him having trouble with an LTR simply because he’s a workaholic.
^ you’re confusing opposites attract with a toxic relationship. The definition of opposites attract is being able to get along despite opposing personalities and interests.
“Also, talking about whether or not a couple is “a good fit”, can’t get “just anybody pregnant”, two people making a “good combination”, his mother wanting him to find someone “suitable”. So I think SH fits the bill in that sense.”
the last sentence in this comment is a complete disconnect from the one preceding it and makes no sense whatsoever
@Claire, what’s confusing about it? I said he was status conscious and his talking about relationships in the sense of people “fitting” or being suitable for one another can be seen as classicist in retrospect.
In that context he’s with SH because, on a superficial level, she could’ve been what he was looking for/is comfortable with (similar social, economic background). A few posters on other threads have said he has insecurities about not being as posh as his friends. That’s what I meant. I’m no expert, it’s just my opinion.
I remember someone (I believe his step-sister) saying in an interview he always had trouble with gfs because he’s too clever. And I thought: come on! This is the man who can’t pronounce the word penguin! Who fell for that silly neutron cream hoax! So I read between the lines and realised she meant he couldn’t find a “suitable” woman. Gosh, it just came to me: he’s not Mr Darcy, he’s Mr Elton!!!!!!! 🙂
ps I’m laughing about it, but I find it rather sad (if that’s the case).
@hermi, Mr. Elton, lol! But I do hope that he proves us wrong
eh suitable can mean a million things, like good fit personality-wise, not too young, etc.
tbh his mom doesn’t seem to care so much about that stuff
honestly toodles45 same with can’t get just anyone pregnant. that should be true for anyone give the magnitude. none of what you listed is really class applicable, just generic common sense
This was all amusing at first but it’s reached the point where people are asserting opinions and viewpoints as facts, as if they know the parties personally. Breeding ground for something bad to happen, mark my words.
Fact of the matter is no one really knows what is going on or who these people are unless they decide to tell us.
@j and co, you’re right. It could be seen as either or. It’s true that no one truly knows what went on with these two. I’ve never said it was fact, I’m just piggybacking off of what I’ve read and seen and others who’ve made the same assessment. That, and I believe in the old adage “tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you are” which is true more often than not. Like I’ve said before, I hope I’m wrong.
I think the measure of a man is the company he keeps.
@co Nothing bad is going to happen, we are just chatting on a gossip site, not doing voodoo 🙂 I’m sure BC and SH cannot care less about what we think or say (and quite rightly too).
I really do hope they are better in private, but why does she seem to not be into him unless the cameras are obviously photo oping them? Even then it seems a bit forced. This is where I get stuck. I really don’t think they need to be constantly displaying PDA for it to seem real, but there is something strange in their awkwardness. I say this truly wishing this is just in public. I agree, he seems to be trying to make the best of it. This has been a year of big adjustments, increased visibility publicly due to Oscar nom and personally, a wife and baby like that. Who knows really whats going on? Are all celebrities this scrutinized?
Can anyone tell me what the note said?
Here:
https://twitter.com/fong_janet/status/586879358976966656
two things–it’s an inside joke and the op who talked to the driver did confirm that, i don’t think people understood her tbh; it’s driver ma, ma is a Chinese last name, no idea how people got ‘driverman’ out of it.
Dear driver man, it was fun seeing Shanghai at the slow pace that you drove. It felt like I was walking through the city for the first time. I particularly liked the sensation of feeling my hair growing as we sped- NOT through the city! Yours, Benedict Cumberbatch. GREEN LIGHT! GO!”
