Benedict Cumberbatch Appreciation Society: those eyes, those cheekbones, THAT voice!

[CaveMum]

Seeing as the Sherlock discussions are dying down I thoguth I'd start a new thread for all the BC fans out there - judging by the number of MNers with him on their "List", he surely deserves his own thread.

So here it is: a place to share videos, pictures, articles and whatever else you want. The only thing I'll say is that I'd appreciate it if no one posted a link to the video(s) of BC dancing at a wedding. Apparently it was stolen from his ex girlfriend and is the cause of much upset. So lets be respectful. Otherwise, anything goes

I'll get us started with some personal favourites:

- pay close attention to the wink @ 0.42 and his whip action @ 0.51

And finally some gratuitous , with my personal favourite the black and white shot featured at 2.53 [drools]

Share/comment away

Just about! Trying to get exexpat to come back and spill some rather important beans ...

Ummm... Don't really want to say who he is because that would be too identifying of me too - just someone who was centrally involved in a film/tv project that BC did a few years ago. And the reason I am in touch with him has nothing whatever to do with the Cumberbatch, sadly.

Haven't managed to get hold of him yet today, but if by any chance he does let slip any interesting snippets of information (if I just happen to mention BC's name...) I will of course pass them on.

Yeah, suspected you'd say something like that . Wasn't entirely serious, really.

But would of course love any BC gossip you might 'accidentally' get out of your contact ...

I mostly have absolutely no idea what he's talking about but never have the words "torque" "second/seconds" and "grip" sounded quite so sexy .

Good Lord. I have been thinking about him a lot and there are just no bad points. None at al.l He seems to be adored by everyone that comes into with him. Not that I'm or anything.

Oops that should be 'comes into contact with'. Not a Freudian slip there.

Haha nice one

I know where he can come...

Ah. My kind of people.

I've just spent a very happy 45 minutes or so trawling YouTube for clips. Feeling quite relaxed now. Suppose I'd better see to the DC.

Maybe just one more video...

Psst, SurferRosa - apparently he smokes (not inside knowledge, just read it in an interview or two). Is that enough to put you off? No, me neither. Oh well.

is all the Jaguar commercial voiceovers by BC. I can't believe I watched about 15 minutes of car adverts and actually enjoyed them and found them interesting. All because of that voice.

Where'd everybody go?

I was debating whether or not to mention the smoking. I generally do not like smoking. Let's see though: sticking with principles -v- Benedict Cumberbatch.

Principles? What principles?

I thought I read somewhere that he thinks smoking is a nasty habit, so perhaps he is a reformed smoker [hopeful]

If not, well I'll just inspire him to quit through the miracle that is our love

I think we need another picture for the walls.

Nothing wrong with a post coital ciggie, I think I'd let him.

No exexpat, not normally keen but doesn't put me off either. Are you likely to speak to your contact today? (desperate for any BC info. emotion).

He'd have no breath left for a smoke, just time to recover and then get ready to go again.

The smoking makes me like him even more, the naughty boy!
I was at a friends last night and got a text hence 'a damn good shag'.
My friend looked at me like, 'what the hell is that?' so I said, 'oh, it's Benedict Cumberbatch' and she said 'texting you?!?'
For a second, I knew what it was to be a hero. Then I had to explain, and I knew what it was to be a bit of a saddo.

There are pics floating around the interweb of him smoking and I think he looks particularly sexy in them. I normally dislike smoking too, so it does embarrass me to say that!

I read on Twitter recently that he's been smoking/using (not sure of the right term) electric cigs while in LA. Maybe he's given up or is going to.

Did you read the comments on the you tube link to Jaguar adverts? One poster said "It's like someone purring directly into my vaagina"

"fluid dynamics" - quite.

"strong and rigid" erm yes please

My thoughts exactly! I agree with the comment on YouTube. The invitation is always here I'm sure he's just got held up.
