Benedict, always a gentleman

How rather sweetly old fashioned gentlemanly of him!

I've been on the go all day and wasn't paying close attention, but I thought I saw on Twitter today that this story has been distorted, the reporter didn't actually say anything rude, and the whole thing was a joke to all of them.  Then again, that could have just been the reporter trying to CYA.

Apparently the video is on YouTube, but I haven't bothered to watch it.  The reporter referred to Keira Knightly as "Ikea" Knightly because her performance in atonement was so wooden, and BC mock-punched him in the arm. They all seem to have been good-natured about it, the recent "BC punched a reporter!" story seems to just be click-bait.  I'll post the video link if I run across it again.
