Benoit Blanc from Knives Out

Detective Benoit Blanc from Knives Out

Benoit Blanc (played by Daniel Craig) is a private detective with a deep Louisiana drawl who is hired to investigate the mysterious death of Harlan Thrombey. A true Southern gentleman, he wears crisply tailored suits accented by floral ties and handsome pocket squares. When he is deep in the throes of interrogating a victim or solving a crime, he has been known to ditch the suit jacket, roll up his sleeves, and tuck his tie into his shirt so that it doesn’t get in the way. A doughnut would make an excellent addition as an edible accessory to Blanc’s ensemble.
