ben was born in nottingham in a hospital that's now a restaurant which is helpful as he is always hungry and he studied japanese at cambridge which is the obvious thing to do if you want to be a director so then he worked at fallon and started shooting short films that of course won everything and despite his unusual habit of eating lunch at 11.30am he's usually shooting some comedy adverts which we love because they make everyone laugh and win lots of awards and it would have have been nice for him to collect his two golds in cannes for Puma but he didn't because he was in bournemouth on the beach with his kids which is almost as fun but a bit less glamorous although apparently not collecting your awards is much cooler these days in an ironic comedy way and ironic comedy is really his bag since he shot the Todd Margaret series which wasn't at all tricky directing john hamm spike jonze and david cross all at the same time and now he's just wrapped The Midnight Beast series we can remind him that he's not actually 22 like they are so he should stop cruising round berkhamstead in his prius trying to be cool and get back to making agencies happy and collecting awards and for that reason alone we think he really is a knucklehead.
