“My boy is Benedict! He’s brilliant, actually. And it’s not blowing smoke up his arse, like ‘Brilliant as in: ‘He is a nice bloke!’ He has a sensibility and an oddness to him. And a directness and a fantastic sense of humor […]. He is a very generous, very thoughtful, focussed, disciplined actor […]. Not everyone runs in the Olympics… Benny should be running in the Olympics.” – Tom Hardy about Benedict
