Good Morning, World


Today is the international holiday known as Ben Whishaw's birthday -- our great gay hope is turning 41 today! How are you celebrating? I am celebrating by sharing with you people a dozen or so gifs of him and Andrew Leung rolling around in bed in the opening scenes of the lovely 2014 film Lilting, and then continuing to celebrate by spending the rest of the day thinking about them. Let's quick look at what Ben has coming up ahead work-wise...

... he is in Sarah Polley's next film called Women Talking (I wrote about it here), which is just about as exciting a collaboration as I can imagine. Then you add on the rest of the cast -- Jessie Buckley! Rooney Mara! Claire Foy! Frances f'ing McDormand! I will take one big heaping portion of that, please. The other thing he's got lined up is a British series called This Is Going To Hurt, which has him playing a young doctor in a maternity ward. Everyone involved is very British so I'm clueless, but if it stars Ben I will watch the thing. Hit the jump for more gifs...
