Ben and Ken are two of my favorite actors so I appreciate that you appreciate them!
Hi ya @mycrawft! Thank You for the kind message! I always giggle at your usericon, btw, because it’s so eye-catching and Mycroft’s face is perfect.
“Ben and Ken”, yes, that’s exactly who they are to me and it’s how I think of them in my head. :D 2021 has been a great year for both Kenneth and Benedict. Whenever they promote their films at the same time, it’s almost too much of the good stuff because we get all this new gif-worthy content via clips and photos (often on the same day), and I get to gif not in one but TWO fandoms! :D It’s happened before three of my fandoms got new content to gif on the same day, and that was crazy but also awesome.
I’m happy their new films - Belfast and The Power of the Dog - are both Oscar contenders, and winners of several awards at film festivals around the world. Ken even received two life achievement awards recently, and won TIFF's People's Choice Award for Belfast, while Ben got the TIFF Tribute Actor Award. Ken is the most tireless actor I know, and after countless film festivals he’s been attending for promo, my hope is he’ll bump into Ben and strike up a chat, and we’ll be blessed with a photo or even footage of them together! Please, I NEED IT. <3 Maybe at the Oscars, if everything works out well?
If they get to work on the same project one day, even better! I was just saying to a friend earlier that I’d like Benedict to invite Ken to read at Letters Live. Ken’s done loads of audio books and radio plays, and he’s great at speeches. I love the new video clip of him recounting the chaotic rehearsals for the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony, how he saw Rowan Atkinson, Paul McCartney, etc, doing their bits as he went through his own lines. As always, he tells the story with so much charm and relish and excitement. He’d be the perfect Letters Live guest. :) *keeping fingers crossed*
Hope you had a good Halloween! Thanks again for your ask!
