Here are more photos of Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter at the BAFTAs. I’m also including photos of the couple as they attended the Grosvenor House BAFTA after-party, in which it sort of looked like Benedict was pulling Sophie away from the bank of cameras, in between gazing at her lovingly. At the BAFTAs, Bendy was all about the loving gaze. Like, he’s so into her. She doesn’t really gaze back at him the same way, but who knows? Maybe her feet hurt. Oh, and I’m including some photos of Bendy solo on Monday morning outside of The Corinthia Hotel. I guess a lot of BAFTA people stayed at the hotel overnight, maybe. In those pics, Bendy’s fly is down. Bad Bendy!
Just a few small stories today. While Bendy was on the BAFTA red carpet, he talked about his friend David Oyelowo and how it’s a shame Oyelowo didn’t get nominated for a BAFTA for Selma: “His performance as Martin Luther King was extraordinary. A spellbinding flawless performance in an exceptional piece of film…I wish David Oyelowo was here tonight. I don’t understand it. He would have got my vote.” Is that shade directed at Eddie Redmayne? Like, people only voted for Eddie because David Oyelowo wasn’t nominated?
What else… Bendy is an EastEnders fan. EastEnders, for those Americans who do not know, is sort of pulpy nighttime soap opera in Britain. Lots of working class accents. Benedict joked that he would love to be on EastEnders but his accent is too posh.
And finally, Benedict has signed up to make an appearance at a London Sherlocked event. It’s a nerd-athon event for all things Sherlock, for fans of the original canon, fans of the films, fans of the TV shows, etc. Benedict will appear for one day of the three-day nerd-athon, and Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat will also be doing a panel discussion or something. For just a regular day pass, it costs £29, but to meet Bendy in person, you have to pay £595 to £2995 for various VIP passes. You can read more about it here. It goes down in April, and I think his baby is due in April. Just sayin’.

Same sort of price that Patrick Stewart has charged in the past. So the going rate. It makes me laugh how fans were moaning at the cost. Why wouldnt they charge the usual going rate. It’s not a charity.
I’ve been to ComicCon and it is SOP that you pay for photos and autographs. For actors who are no longer getting work (think Power Rangers) it’s how they make their living and for big stars I think it is a form of crowd control.
Just curious – do you know how much can someone expect to make at one of these cons? I am sure it varies depending on who you are, and I imagine Patrick Stewart gets a LOT but someone who was in a Harry Potter film for like 10 seconds won’t get that much. I am genuinely curious to see if the money is liveable by itself, or if some of these celebs still need some kind of steady job and just use the money from cons for anything extra that comes up.
Yup. I think CometOtter baby is due early May.
The £45 for a photo with him on the day is fine price wise (I’d say you’ll have to queue for hours and it’s not guaranteed even if you’re in the queue) but if he’s not there on the day you have a ticket for (have they announced what day he’ll be there?) then you’re shit outta luck. I’d be more worried that he won’t turn up or will only show for the VIP/Platinum stuff as they’ve specifically paid for that. No one other than them will get an in person autograph. I also believe he’ll be secretly hating it. I foresee a lot of upset tweets the weekend of April 24th….
*gets Crystal Ball out*
Also good luck getting a hotel that weekend!
*looks in your ball* 🙂
honestly, he was great at the other cons so i do think he’ll be fine
i have heard bad stuff about some other ppl though. Stallone charged $450 ish per photo at nycc last year and was kinda rude.
Urgh!
He seems like a different person than last year so we will see. I’m thinking of that Dreamworks webchat. He was straight up bitchy, and some of the interviews he did around that time were zero tolerance so if they get him on a bad day…
I do think a lot of folks will end up disappointed and not get a photo with him though. The event said they have hundreds of tickets for £45 photos…well if he’s only there for 1 day (which Moffit said) and is also doing talks, and photos and autographs with the VIP and Platinum ticket holders, how will there be time?
i think it was largely stress or something, he got noticeably happier within days of losing the globe tbh
usually with big cons like this, the smallest amount of tickets are the really high ones. so there is probably very few VIP tickets and not a huge amount of platinum ones either. So say one or two talks and the higher ticket holders stuff may take 4/5 hours at the most, leaving him 2-3 hours to do photos.
In the first photo, what is that little bit of white showing just below the waistband of his pants? Is his fly down a bit there, too?! For God’s sake, Bendy, have you learned nothing? Not keeping it zipped up is what got you into this mess in the first place. *massive eyeroll*
Best comment so far lol. Can the regulars top this?
You *are* talking about keeping his mouth zipped up, right?
****Bats eyelashes****
Not zipping up seems to be a common practice. Look at the jeans&cardi pictures.
Thank you @Claire. 🙂 @gg – What else would I be talking about? *smiles innocently*
This is one part of fandom that I don’t understand. I would not cross the street to get an autograph, never mind paying or lining up for hours for it. If he does it but ends up being pissy or complaining about it before/after, he is not doing himself or the fans any favours. As for the whole romance, I am so over the whatever the hell it is. As long as his acting does not suffer and Moffat brings us more Sherlock episodes, he could get a harem of pouty, sullen wives and be welcome to all of them.
I don’t get the need for an autograph, either. This person signed a piece of paper, and….? I don’t get the appeal, so my apologies to those who like to collect that sort of thing. And yeah, if he’s in his BitchyBatch! mood, it’ll be disappointing for everyone. (IIRC, people said he was perfectly lovely during the con last year in Australia. I doubt he’d be invited to another con if he was considered difficult or rude.)
Keep looking at her Bendy, may be someday some real emotion like LOVE comes thru’ those eyes. It’s like looking at GC pair, feels like all part of some great conspiracy theory! Haha.
Nobody can stop Eddie R now, he is on a roll, not even David O.
Bendy is a great actor, can’t he learn to speak “non-posh” British accent for Eastenders? Try Bendy, you can do it. And zip up your fly dude, you want us all to go blind?
apparently Eddie Redmayne’s acting on Jupiter decending was so horrendous. hahahah i’m so curious
You know I don’t get why he is still trying to sell this as some great romance…I mean why now? He knows he has no chance of winning any awards and she’s totally toned down her royal smugness. Why are they even listening to us to fix this fauxmance?
The only advice he needs to take from us is to drop the woman and settle on co-parenting instead.
there is a thing that’s called a contract.
@Scout
If he’s as good an actor as he is meant to be he could do an East End accent. That Dot on the show has a posh “real” voice too but she works her East End accent.
June Brown is such a legend.
Also I will never forget my shock at hearing Jackie Corkhill from Brookside’s real accent
I know… see it can be done…same as British/Aussies doing American accents that’s in the job description right? Even Pat she didn’t speak like that, sorry I can’t remember their real names. I stopped watching years ago but loved the Bill, and Brookside.
I think Benny could have issues because it is not just about the accent -it is the speech patterns and inflections and with his tendency to over enunciate it could sound very artificial.
I live in fear of how his Billy Bulger accent will sound. The one thing that may save him is that Depp’s Boston accent is so bad, people may not notice his in comparison.
I am curious/scared of his Boston accent, too. It’s the kind of accent that can sound silly if you don’t do it juuuuust right.
They resemble each other. If you told me that was his sister (instead of his baby mama) I would totally believe it.
I don’t see any love.
He seems to have a fixed gaze at a point beyond her ear. Maybe he sees a friend or someone he cares about.
LOL, I thought the better actors don’t do that? I used to do that, though. I’d bring my “imaginary friends” to auditions so if I got paired up with an actor I didn’t like (or just did the whole thing alone), at least I’d have someone to focus on. Is it considered unprofessional to not like your castmate and think of someone else the whole time? I don’t know.
I can’t believe it’s only February. I actually thought the special was last year and had something to wear for the occasion only to find out that they hadn’t even filmed it. This is going to feel like forever. Boo.
Hey guys don’t complain about the Sherlock Con ticket price tag. Remember Shotgun Sophie needs a fancy lifestyle. And I don’t think that will be cheap! lol
Wonder if he charges SH £45 a go for her to have her picture taken with him?
Not likely. Even if he did she’d have to ask her folks for money because she has no job. She’s getting more money with the baby now anyway. If fans don’t pay for ridiculous amounts of money to meet him at conventions, she’d have to go back to wearing floral dresses with pockets and stuff like that. She’s on a different level now lol.
No, she charges him. He’s just trying to recoup some of his outlay.
agree with alice. Sophie’s the one who charges him…extra if there’s pda! lol
Of course she charges him—if the blind items are to be believed. Lol.
Another win on this thread!
How is that quote shade at Redmanye? Maybe Cumberbatch believes himself shouldn’t be there.
Oh, and has everyone else seen those gifs from the awards of her giving some serious side-eye at him during the ceremony? I went through yesterdays thread a little bit & don’t recall a mention.
it’s not, it’s just the truth. im pretty bitter about the david o snub :/
felt like ryan seacrest’s cut off of BC praising david before the oscar noms were out was an accurate representation of the industry tbh
“””””””””””it’s not, it’s just the truth. im pretty bitter about the david o snub :/

I totally agree j. Ryan cutting him off was extremely rude and Benedict is not shading anyone when he talks about David. He has always been generous when talking about his fellow actors and he is also a generous actor on stage and screen. Fellow actors have remarked on it.
I think it was mentioned yesterday, unless I’m confusing it with mentions on SoGo, BTT, etc. Anyway, got lots of mentions here and there.
You mean this? She doesn’t look very happy here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=AWI9eUuMi2k
Yeah and the camera people saw there was something going on right before so they captured part of it.
oh, those 5 seconds of awesomeness. I love mark strong so much for that look.
I meant maybe Cumberbatch believes David should be there instead of his Otter self.
£2995!?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA what!?
Still, nice of then to knock that £5 off.
He’s over doing it now. I don’t believe for a second he’s a fan of EastEnders.
Right?
Really, Ben. STFU – we know you are (relatively) posh. Just own it already
This wouldn’t surprise me at all because he grew up with that type of program. His mother did a lot of soap-ish work.
My fiance is super picky and a bit snobby about what he watches but sheepishly DVRs General Hospital, as it was always on when he was growing up.
@ An
I agree and he has talked knowledgeably about Coro St as well. Why wouldn’t he like some of those programmes? Some of his co stars have featured in them as well, Stephanie Cole and Timothy West who are both in Cabin pressure with Benedict.
“some photos of Bendy solo on Monday morning outside of The Corinthia Hotel.”
Those pics weren’t taken on Monday morning. They were taken on Sunday before the BAFTA Awards.
I figured as much, since he wasn’t on setlock Monday.
Also No sign of Sophie when they arrived at the hotel. I guess he lied about picking her up right after filming sherlock on Sunday!!
Oh Benny, you’re becoming such a good liar. He might even convince us he’s truly in love come Oscars.
– Benedict did you know you can prove how much you truly love a person by photobombing her? Some even say you’ll have marriage longevity if you do that on the Oscars redcarpet!
I have something nice to say finally: I like her dress and she’s carrying well.
Aside from that, he just looks like he’s zoning in on a part of her neck or something. That isn’t a loving gaze. He can’t dress himself for sh*t and his hair line looks like it’s receding in the pictures with the jeans.
i saw people discussing his hairline awhile ago and was bored, so i looked at old pics. its in about the same spot and has the same shape from 10 years ago, so he’s lucky there but does have a big forehead
Yeah I don’t think it’s receeding, just that the slicked back look really doesn’t suit him. He has a Tyra forehead.
Ugh that’s probably what it is and I never really noticed hahaha i think I would prefer a receding hairline.
It looks like he has some lighter color roots coming in which could give that receding effect.
Tyra forehead, lol. A five finger forehead I call it.
Sherlock has wrapped.
Not going to this. I already have an autograph from TIFF 2013 and met him 3 years before that (he was a such a little baby compared to now lol).
I’d rather get photos with Martin Freeman anyway. And Amanda Abbington, Andrew Scott, Loo Brealey, and hello RUPERT GRAVES and MARK GATISS!
Mmmm, Rupert Graves!! Did you see him in Room With a View and Maurice when he was 21, 22 yo? He was a fox. Still is. Would love to see more of him on Sherlock.
He could be under the definition for Silver Fox.
He was a cutie pie, but now he’s sexy. Silver fox indeed.
Rupert Graves skinny dipping in Room with a View. That is all.
Lilacflowers You noticed, huh? If you haven’t seen Maurice, run out and get it now. He plays the sexy handyman. Very handy.
He makes me wish I could do that purring noise that some people can do lol
@Alice, I have seen Maurice. I also have seen Rupert Graves himself, standing in the men’s department of Boston’s Neiman Marcus several years ago. No idea why he was here (people come here for hospitals, family members attending school, lots of film projects, etc.) but he looked smashing and I found myself looking at ties for an inordinate amount of time for no reason whatsoever.
@Lilacflowers Lucky you. Down here we only get Bruce Willis, Nicholas Cage, Jean Claude van Damme, etc. in town making their cheap smash and burn movies. I wouldn’t look out my window for them.
I saw him in The Elephant Man on Broadway about 10 years ago
Ooooh, Rupert Graves! He was the bright spot of the third season of Sherlock.
Best Rupert Graves movie for me is “Different for Girls.” He plays a total wanker who eventually redeems himself. He’s so cute in it and it deals with a very relevant topic which is (mostly) handled with humor and concern.
Thanks! I’ll have to check Netflix. I do have Mark Strong waiting for me at the library this afternoon – his American Low Winter Sun.
I was so into Rupert after Maurice and love the way he has aged.I saw him in the Madness of King Geopge last night and that was a film which deserved an Oscar, Nigel Hawthorne was epic.
SH’s bottom of the barrel PR team lied again. According to SoGo who contacted the Aldeburgh Festival, there are no upcoming projects by her coming.
Isn’t she using his PR or Karon wouldn’t touch her?
I highly doubt she’s under Karon. She appears not being able to stand SH on every red carpet. She has to have another PR person because Karon doesn’t resort to these fluffy articles on BC or plant obvious PR fluffy comments about him. Also, there would be a lot less “lizard king” comments because they would be deleted.
It’s someone under Weinstein or someone else. Karon definitely picked up the pieces of PSIFF though.
I don’t think she is using his PR, she has to have her own (or her own + HW). There has to be some kind of a deal with Daily Fail after the soviet spy story they are kissing her (+BC) ar*e(s) a bit too much. Vogue, Elle is AW. Showbizspy SH’s connections. Karon is helping BC as much as she can to cover the mess SH is leaving behind.
eta And people still think she wouldn’t fake pregnancy, because that’s too much for someone like her.
Does Sophie have two nickels to rub together so how does she hire PR? Maybe her PR consists of her, her mother and friends passing insider info to trashy outfits like ShowbizSpy – maybe that is where the “secret girlfriend” originated.
Her family has money. But more important sh has mayor connections. And according to the latest BI a long term boyfriend.
eta Yes, that’s where the SGF originated.
Also her friend Gambles does image consulting. He also posted IG photos of RPatz with another woman knowing full well twihards would find them. He did Beyonce’s website.
We still remember Beyonce’s pregnancy, right?
Speaking of Gambles, CDaN has a new “blind” item up, maybe just him reading SoGo archives but who knows?
It must be really tough to be the girlfriend and future wife of this foreign born A- list mostly movie actor when you still live with your long term boyfriend.
Idk why it took Enty so long to make that accusation. I mean if this is fake I’m guessing the out would be “in regards to 2 month old Bosnia (probably), Benedict, you are NOT the father!!!”
In regards to 2 month old Bosnia … what? the baby’s name? She is not pg.
Everytime I see pictures of them ‘Someone Saved My Life Tonight’ by Elton John starts playing in my head.
The posters on that site are accusing Enty of trolling them. Too many blinds pointing to SH that don’t make sense or are based on tumblr theories.
@moodgirl Both Gambles and her friend William Richmond Watson are in PR. Watson runs a PR firm named Watson & Co. The website is watsonnyc.com
@tsmiv2 SH and Watson: could be funny if it wasn’t.
@hermi Don’t forget that her middle name is Irene.
Hmm, plot thickens. Have any of these cdan items ever truly been revealed to be true? Idk much about that site.
The only one that was revealed to have any credibility was the one about BC getting engaged because SH was pregnant. The other blinds, no. The latest one posted has people starting to question whether Enty is trolling the “skeptics” if you read the comments on CDAN.
FWIW, I think the original “Enty” is gone. The “Enterns” started writing the majority of it at least a year ago. Even the regulars have commented on it. Page 6 wrote an article about them possibly being fake I think. I also don’t see how a lawyer could ethically have a gossip blog, even if its blinds. The old author used to talk about his clients too. I don’t see how he could keep a practice and do that; wouldn’t people avoid him professionally if they even suspected he gossiped about things told in confidence? Maybe there are loopholes or whatnot, but the idea a lawyer runs a blog gossiping about high profile clients seems far fetched to me.
That must have been true as it came out before it became public that she was pregnant,
I think many posters here suspected by 11/7 that she was pregnant. Surprise engagement on 11/5 and two days later BC looks like he wants to kill someone. and it just went downhill from there. Not at all the happy, newly engaged fiancé. Not too difficult to make that leap way before cdan leaked anything.
I remember somebody commenting on a newspaper article about the engagement that people in PR knew it would happen and they had been knowing for months, almost predicting the exact date. Somebody must have leaked that he was waiting the requisite 3 months before proposing to her. Very romantic, indeed.
Where was this hermi? I don’t remember seeing that. But how would the PR people have known she was pregnant so early on?
lol Of course pr from news agency were expecting it. It’s awards season! That alone makes me side eye the entire relationship. But the fact is there has been too many leaks regarding this relationship from the very beginning, I can see why some people might be skeptical since he’s been so private about his personal life. I can only guess those leaks were pr plants, very obvious ones. Mostly tabloid leaks beginning with the sgf rumors started online end of April and kept us guessing then confirming Sophie as his sgf, to rumors of asking her mother for her hand in marriage after their Edinburgh trip and then there’s his interviews…. Beginning with his Elle interview – author hinted BC was settling down to the Big issue about becoming a dad and everything else after was all baity and confirmed, but his demeanor told a different story when it came to video interviews. If you want more details just check out sogo or btt timeline 🙂
Only thing I saw was a weird tweet from a mirror writer saying bc had said he was getting engaged on google plus several weeks before the announcement
claire, I remember seeing that comment on the guardian website the day the engagement was announced. Some guy who’s a ‘social media expert made that comment via his twitter saying BC announced his engagement via google plus 3 weeks ago!! Thinking about it now…IF it was true…it must have been a major Fail since literally No One picked up on it. LOL
Also three weeks prior to the Ad announcement was the Edinburgh trip after their debut at LFF. Hmm…is that what LFF was about?? There was even a tab article right after Edin trip saying he went there to ask her Mom her SH hand in marriage. But it didn’t get picked up by major news outlets. <<— It sounds as if PR was testing the waters at how news worthy couple they are and what mediums to spread the word was most effective. I guess it makes sense now why they posted the Times Ad announcement instead and spread a screencap of it on twitter.
Couples who look like each other are meant to be together. This is probably a relationship that will last.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahha
because that’s all what it takes for successful relationship
@obsidian. Have you ever been in an actual relationship? You know, one where you have to share a life with another person?
I think you are looking at a different couple or confused this site for IMDB.
@anon, Claire and moodgirl: The question is, “Have you three been in an actual relationship or know what it takes to make a successful one?” I’ve been reading these BC threads for quite sometime and it appears that none of you (and a couple of your other cohorts who haven’t commented here) emotionally reside in the real world so that you might get even a tiny grasp of these concepts. In so many of your comments you show little regard for others’ opinions (unless they are similar to yours), and it seems as if you revel in insulting and snarking at others. I don’t know if this behavior helps bolster some sense of dominance you believe you’re entitled to in these threads but the bottom line is it’s all boorish, bullying and immature. Now you can have your last word(s), so fire away because I won’t even dignify your comments.
@Obsidian and Olenna – Anyone who makes the statement below does not live in the real world:
“Couples who look like each other are meant to be together. This is probably a relationship that will last.”
lmao “other cohorts.” We are just coming on here and commenting. Yeah I go on skeptic sites but I’m not ‘working with them.’ Please go on the Kimye, Leann Rimes, and other threads and please tell us we are the only” boorish, bullying, and immature” ones.
What? Felice, I thought we were bffs! Hmph.
@sunflower
We’ll always have Paris.
#byefelice
Ben, with all the money you have I’m sure you can afford to buy another cardi.
Every time I see a pic of you in casual clothes, you are wearing the same brown one.
And I know for a fact (friend working in Savile Row) that you get most of your suits on the cheap (borrowing off the peg, instead of buying bespoke). I hope you actually BOUGHT the engagement ring!
Not surprised about the prices of the convention’s tickets, not surprised at all!
Hahaha frugal as ever. I assumed most of his suits were given to him for free, for advertising. His stylist has a new twitter and has been tweeting obsessively about the one-of-a-kind blue McQueen bowtie he was wearing for the Baftas.
Maybe now that he’s an Oscar nominated A-lister he gets free clobber, but up until last summer he was borrowing off the peg.
He is famed for being tight with money. Poor Soph 🙂
Well, at least they are fitted to him and look great. That suit at LFF and the all black ensemble(BIFA??). yum.
He would look great in a sack. Or even better naked.
I was just kidding, it makes me laugh how thrifty the guy is.
ps Maybe it’s just me, but I preferred him in the 2010 pics when he still wore shiny cheap suits. He looked so young and genuine. That man is gone and lost forever. Sigh.
The face and most definitely the attitude from 2010 do it for me. He had a sweet, charming innocence then, before it really took off. The way he looked at one of the SF10 premieres, LA maybe. So beautiful. Even last summer. He looks so much older and worn since this mess started. I didn’t think a “great love” with “the most fantastic woman I’ve ever met” was supposed to do that to you.
Velvet suit!!!! I miss that man, where did he go and all his dreams…
And sparkly shoes!!!
I hope he didn’t buy the ring so in the end he can ditch Sophie and turn the ring in.
I thought Harvey sent a flunky over to Tiffany’s to grab a ring while they were on the RC at the NY premiere. Gotta have a ring showing in a grainy picture. LOL.
Moodgirl I hope he did just that
His stylist has tweeted about a fitting for a very special group of guys using the hashtags #morningcoats #tophats #tails . . .
Must be a slow news day for BC, eh 😉
They all should just Shut the F**k up and get married already because the media hype surrounding this relationship is soo pointless! It just makes both of them look like famewhores.
He ain’t winning any Oscar.
I’ve already lost all respect for this man.
Where are they gonna get married? They still need public documents for validity in the US since they aren’t citizens, they both need to be residences of France for 45 days for a Paris wedding (Kimye anyone? She could be living there but he definitely isn’t), and the documents are publicly available in the UK. If there’s a wedding, it’s just a very lavish party.
residents* damn I’m off my spelling game today.
since they’ve given DM pretty much all the their pr plants and exclusives it’s possible the tabs are keeping the public registration quiet and for themselves. I mean, only the tabs announce that sort of stuff…perhaps they were asked to keep hush hush in exchange for exclusive photos??
@silvie
“It’s possible the tabs are keeping the public registration quiet and for themselves. I mean, only the tabs announce that sort of stuff…perhaps they were asked to keep hush hush in exchange for exclusive photos?? ”
So they are going to give EVERY Tabloid exclusive (Wedding) details and exclusive (Wedding) photos? Anyone can look up the public registration. Tabloids would not sit quiet, they would jump all over it. Just like they did with the Engagement Announcement.
Unless they got legally married in Turks & Caicos over the holidays and this thing – if/when it happens – is just the ceremony/party for family and friends
@gg
That is just speculation/assumptions from the SoGo blog and some of her followers.
“There is a residency period of 72 hours before an application for a Turks and Caicos Marriage License can be made to the Registrar General for Special Licenses. There is a $50.00 License fee. The wedding ceremony for can then take place at any time after the marriage license application has been granted. Processing of license takes 2-3 days.”
There would be public documents if they got married in Turks & Caicos.
His stylist has other clients. People are just speculating/making assumptions. But a certain skeptic blog and some of her followers, are convinced that the Wedding is happening on Valentine’s Day.
They are taking Tweets and photos as “hints” that it’s happening this weekend.
See my reply above. They can’t get out of any publicly available paperwork to confirm a valid marriage.
yeah that guy styles for photoshoots and stuff for a lot of people
and felice is correct
I read tumblr and they’re freaking out over an Adam tweet. What do you ladies think? Wedding or no wedding this weekend? Maybe they got out of the registry. They do seem convinced…
If he gets married just before the Oscars, just how famew***ish is he? My God, he used to be such a classy man!
The Adam tweet means nothing to me. He’s encouraging people to follow this Joe guy – so what? I don’t get it
GG
He must know the guy to say that. I’m hoping it’s not for the reason I’m thinking, but unfortunately I think it might be. Although I never had adam down as bring baity and toying with BC’s privacy like that.
@Kat.
The guy has been Benedict’s stylist since 2011/2012. I am pretty sure Adam has met him before/knows him. Adam encourages people to follow Benedict’s stylist and somehow that automatically means the Wedding is this weekend? How does that make any sense?
Linz,
But why suddenly start to tell people to follow him now? That would suggest recent contact.
It could be for awards. Was Adam at baftas? He might go to the Oscars. As others said he just reactivated his twitter so Adam is trying to give him business. That’s not a best man suit. I hope.
Please help fill in those of us who are not in the loop… who is Adam? Who is the stylist? Does anyone have links to their twitters?
Snooks. Adam is adam Ackland, BC’s best friend. The stylist is @joewoolfe. I looked at his twitter and he is shamelessly trading on BC’s name.
I think that Adam is just trying to plug him for clients. He worked for Spencer Hart and that is now bankrupt.
@Felice
All of that! Thank you!
Felice is likely on the money.
The stylist isn’t a spring chicken, and Hart liquidated with a lot of debt. So when it went under, any promised retirement benefits vanished, and he lost valuable direct access to prospective new clients.
The guy seems to tweet constantly about BC, though. Does he ever tweet about other clients?
And how would adam tweeting about him bring in more business? His followers are 90% nannies. I don’t think any of them are going to be commissioning bespoke suits any time soon.
For a man who once said he used to beg Olivia not to read the trash magazines, he certainly seems surrounded lately by people only too happy to flap their lips(or keyboards)about things that make it into the trash magazines. Not classy, not old-fashioned at all. In fact, his whole image – smart, sharp, classy, fun – has gone into the dumpster since his involvement, voluntary or otherwise with the “upper class” Miss Sophie Hunter. Very sad.
lately isnt accurate tbh. this guy has been styling him for events since like 2011 but gave up on twitter at one point.
Oh dear. So much is wrong with all of this. For a start, why would Adam bait the fans about a private occasion? I’m hoping adam perhaps knows him because he’s off to the Oscars and he fitted him for a suit and these hooray Henries getting married in chelsea wearing top hats are nothing to do with bc. I mean…top hats? No BC…just no. ..that’s the height of wankery.
And apart from the whole shotgun aspect of hurrying to marry someone in a tacky toddler designer wear show (which if happens, will DEFINTELY have been deliberately fed to the tabloids); how horrible for him to marry someone who can look at him the way she did on Sunday night.
We all get pissed off with people we care about some times, but she glared at him with venom. You don’t look at people you love like that.
@Kat.
Encouraging people to follow Benedict’s stylist is baiting? How?
Like I said before. The guy has been Benedict’s stylist since 2011/2012. I am pretty sure Adam has met him before/knows him. Adam has attended events with Benedict . It’s highly possible that he was fitted/dressed by Benedict’s stylist.
Because unless adam is remedial (and he’s not), he’d know what people would infer from it. Christ, the batshit nanny tweets he gets tells him people watch his account like a hawk.
Kat. She seems to get pissed off at him every time they’re in public, which, since it’s always a RC situation, seems insane. She should know there are cameras all around. Or she just doesn’t give a damn about letting everyone see how she disrespects him. If they actually have a private life, I don’t know how he tolerates her, as she probably lets it rip away from the cameras. I know he’s not perfect, but doing the RC thing is part of his job as a movie star and if she can’t manage a facade for two hours then STAY AWAY.
Since she acts like a fool every time they are out together there has to be a reason why she does it. We know she wants to be in control so maybe she feels by embarrassing and beating him down in public in front of media, fans and co-workers he will be too afraid to challenge her and she can establish her dominance.
so … we are still talking about a couple that is going to get married or a couple in the middle of a nasty divorce 🙂
I still do not believe they were ever together (in anyway).
@moodgirl
I don’t think its about the dominance thing but more about her personality.
But, moodgirl, why in the world does he allow it? He is a famous, in demand, highly paid actor and she is basically NOTHING. A failed diletante artiste who hasn’t worked in years and has an unpleasant personality, based on what the cameras have caught. She can’t even manage a believable smile, just a tight jawed, pursed lip look. If he’s knuckling under to that then he’s just totally p***ywhipped. Maybe that’s what he wants, both Wanda and Olivia come across as very strong women.
She is hired RC GF with certain hidden agendas, that’s why.
@alice, please don’t confuse “strong” with b****. Nothing irritates me more than this trend of thinking being a harpy makes you a tough, strong woman.
Only women who are emotionally weak are manipulative and b****y the way Sophie Hunter is.
And Wanda and Olivia seem nothing like her. They both come across in interviews as being strong and sweet. I don’t think Benedict would have been glowing for nearly a decade with OP if she was like SH. It would have also meant Ben was used to SH’s bad attitude and he clearly isn’t.
Oh no, Claire, I don’t see any comparisons between the strong, important women in BC’s life and SH. Just that at first he may have thought she was an independent woman like he’s said he wanted and it wasn’t until she had him hooked that the real bitch came out. By hooked I mean the pregnancy that came at a most unfortunate time, just when the awards spotlight was being turned on him. Any other time I think it would have been handled quietly with shared custody.
If he’s fool enough to marry her I’ll be on divorce watch because it won’t last unless he is a total self flagellating wimp. I’ve just never seen him that way. Ultimately, he’ll grow a pair. Sooner, than later, I hope.
Oh ok thanks for clarifying Alice!
@Alice – I doubt if he’s p***ywhipped; I bet he hasn’t seen that since August 2014.
@anon – I don’t believe they’ve lived together, especially after reading the blurb about him not moving to CA because his friends, family and Sophie all live in London. NOT that he and Sophie wouldn’t want to leave friends and family.
Other things one may notice he didn’t say:
“Sophie and I have our home here.”
“I’m raising my family here (like I always wanted to.”
Notice the order he listed them as well. Family. Friends. Octosourpuss.
Moodgirl. Hopefully the poor guy has some discreet fwb who drop by for visits since SH obviously doesn’t live with him.
The Oscar goodie bag. I see some lovely wedding presents in there – Tuscany, Canadian Rockies, sea salts, candy and desset buffet, vibrator(!!). BC could use the Reset Yourself lifestyle makeover to go back to pre-awards Benedict.
“In addition to the usual smorgasbord of luxury skincare products and high-end accessories associated with these annual goodie bags, this year’s giveaway includes a number of jaw-dropping highlights: a 3-night stay at a resort in Tuscany valued at $1,500; a luxury train ride through the Canadian Rockies worth more than $14,500; natural French Mediterranean sea salts worth $1,500; a custom silver necklace inscribed with the latitude and longitude coordinates of the Dolby Theater from Lat & Lo at $150; a “glamping” trip valued at $12,500; a $800 gift certificate for a custom candy and dessert buffet; a $250 vaporizer; a $250 vibrator; a Wellness 360 gift pack worth $1,200; a year’s supply of Silvercar rentals valued at $20,000; a Reset Yourself lifestyle makeover package worth more than $14,200, and so much more.
The most highly valued item in this year’s bag, according to the press release from Distinctive Assets, the bag’s creator, is a $20,000 gift certificate to have Enigma Life founder Olessia Kantor fly out to meet with each nominee “to discuss their 2015 horoscope, analyze dreams and teach them mind control techniques.”
Hideous. Overpriced junk handed out to millionaires. The good that kind of revenue could bring to charity would be amazing.
that’s what some celebs do with that awards swag stuff, bc included i believe. some of his globes swag last year ended up as part of package he donated for a cancer charity auction
Only ‘some celebs’ do it. None of them need that crap, they can afford what they want. The Oscars should donate the equivalent value to charity.
Has anyone discussed that Ms. Hunter may have gothen US citzenship. She lived here long enough. That could change things in the wedding department. Just saying. I doubt it but it’s an idea.
I hope not as we have enough trouble as it is.
She doesn’t seem the type who would actually sit down and study for the patriot-um I mean-naturalization test.
The dirty glare video that’s been discussed – well, TFOE has a four panel display and in the bottom panel there is something very interesting. KK is laughing and turns around to face BC/SH. Look at the way SH cuts her eyes at Keira. Almost like she’s jealous or dislikes her.
Lol of course she’s jealous. Keira has talent. And is famous for her work, not who she’s married to
Im sorry if i offend anyone with this but…
Top hat and tails at any wedding instantly gives me hulk rage. Its awful and usually looks awful on 90% of men.
Nothing like a classic suit on a man for a wedding.
This. So much this.
Top hats are the reserve of the crass tasteless poshos. They look utterly ridiculous.
Another reason in the rather long list that I hope this tweet is nothing to do with BC.
Maybe consider the hashtags in the tweet before stirring up paranoia…
I blame SoGo. Not only is she baiting about these things, she’s also posting a lot of stuff supporting the idea that they could already have been married in T&C over the holidays. I can’t get behind the fake pregnancy, but I prefer to read BTT now.
about SoGo: that is seriously so dreanged. She is calculating the due date, anticipating the wedding date … seriously messed up.
In their defense, since T&C is British territory and their marriage licenses can be transferred to the UK, it would be the only place where they could’ve slipped pass the public registration. But do you really think we wouldn’t see an announcement in The Times or The Fail.
If it was her choice it would be one of her tacky contact tabloids she has on a speed dial. BC’s choice – if it was for real, it would be in The Times (but I don’t know what he will do when he actually gets engaged and gets married … considering the mess sh’s made)
@lindy79 I agree. I thought the wedding ensembles in “the Sign of Three” were so tacky! But I thought they were supposed to look tacky, like middle class folk were trying to look posh.
