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

I bet the Jaguar advert creators don't really need him to say that much info about the car, they know that the sound of hIs voice makes every woman melt which is why they've done it.

Other car adverts don't go into that much detail!

About three minutes in on the ad everything "comes together". You don't say.

"Italian leather"

But seriously, how can the word "seconds" sound so .. so .. phwoar? From 0-60 in blah seconds. Every time he says seconds, I have to stop myself from making a little whimpering noise.

The things I've imagined his voice whispering into my ear in that voice .

I'm going to need a moment to compose myself. More than seconds

They totally just told him to do a sex voice for those ads. And the language is outrageous in its innuendo-itude! They knew EXACTLY what demographic they wanted to appeal to, and he knew exactly what was being asked of him. And boy, did he deliver.

My favourites:

'downforce'
'body control'
' ... grip'
'slip thresholds'
'the most responsive'
'monocoque chassis'
'stiffened suspension'

I must also applaud the YouTube comment 'I want to ride this. And I'm not talking about the car.'

That Jaguar ad! I actually can't listen to it without blushing.

God you can just imagine him whispering filth in your ear over dinner before a "I can't keep my hands off you" taxi ride home [faints]

[gets far too carried away]

Another amazing YouTube video of

Not a video as such, more a "best of" of his voice. Divine!

"Will you have dinner with me? In my rooms."

Oh. God. Yes.

I have to confess I sniggered a bit at 'I'm crackers about you'. Credit to him for delivering it with a straight face conviction.

I had no idea he'd done Spellbound! It made me go and look up his other voice roles and I see he once did The Pillow Book. I saw the film and seem to remember it was pretty saucy ...

That Jag ad has given me all fresh thoughts about what he'd say to me during sex

Arghh it's doing my head in he's too sexy for words and it will only ever happen in my head!

I know it's probably been put up before but I do love this Sherlock clip.

No. Because I took your pulse

That voice. The hand-touching. The lean in. I'm sure my pulse elevates every time I see it.

Oh CaveMum, I've had quite a few thoughts of that kind of taxi ride, along with tube/train/walk in the park etc. etc. He just can't help himself .

I too have played out a dinner party scenario in my head where he's sitting next to me and every so often he leans over to whisper something superbly indecent in my ear, whilst running his fingers down my back. Oh yes, I even have in mind what I'm wearing - a backless dress of course. Then the taxi ride and then at home .... That's just one scenario. There are many.

I've given this waaaaaaaayyyy too much thought.

I'm sticking to my fav scenario where he asks me to dance because I am of course the best looking woman there. We're dressed in formal gear, him in a superb fitting sharp suit
He whispers seductively in my ear the whole time whilst holding me close with those amazing hands
The eve somehow ends up with us in a v luxurious 5 star hotel room and well, my imagination goes into overdrive there

Oh I have a very wide variety of scenarios for all occasions and moods, depending on whether I feel like being wooed/seduced/ravished to within an inch of my life

Oh I don't have any fancy scenarios in my head. We just have a damm good shag .

Can you imagine having a conversation with him, being witty and everything and then the mood changes and he fixes you with a stare with those beautiful eyes. He leans in close, closer, your breathing becomes shallower, closer, he gently holds the side of your neck, closer still and then whispers in your ear in that voice "I can't resist you". Then his lips touch yours...

[disclaimer: I'm sober so I'm keeping it clean]

Very swish hotel rooms ? well, suites actually ? feature heavily in my scenarios too. And their huge and well appointed bathrooms. I love a shower-as-seduction fantasy!

[TMI emoticon]

I had a shower this morning . Just saying.

[much TMI emoticon]

Lol maybe we should get drunk then tell our scenarios, I think they'd be much more umm...interesting

I feel like a cumberbatch shower now!

Hell no! These thoughts are for me and BC only

Today I shall be mostly looking at <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=benedict+cumberbatch+rubik%27s+cube&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&rlz=1R2ADFA_enGB469&biw=1024&bih=571&tbm=isch&tbnid=62KXt1eeH9M1mM:&imgrefurl=www.fanpop.com/spots/benedict-cumberbatch/images/14863566/title/benedict-rubix-cube&docid=Xvtk3K_kwy5X7M&imgurl=images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/14800000/Benedict-and-a-Rubix-Cube-benedict-cumberbatch-14863566-500-302.jpg&w=500&h=302&ei=yYEzT4i5Jsen0QW0tYWUAg&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=156&sig=114455570829230125183&page=1&tbnh=85&tbnw=141&start=0&ndsp=19&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0&tx=80&ty=57" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this - I mean working.

Eeeek. I'm sat in doctors waiting to see midwife and the man sat opposite me looks just like Moriarty. I am trying not to stare

Is there any chance it could actually be Andrew Scott?

My copy of Third Star has arrived! Can't wait to watch it. Just need DH to go out for an evening because there's no way I can explain this one. I shall enjoy the antici .......... pation.

Eeeek again!! He is the new doctor. He was waiting to be shown round.

I've seen Benedict Cumberbatch in reality. It was before I'd seen Sherlock so I knew who he was but hadn't yet experienced my own Purple Shirt moment. He seemed very cheerful and quite scruffy.

letusprey 'anticipation' said in the manner of Tim Curry in Rocky Horror is how I imagined that!
