Hope this meets with your approval. It was getting a bit full on the other thread so we've extended and now need to decorate the new space.

For the walls.

SO wish I was there with him he looks so good. I bet he was all fresh and clean and smelling gorge as well.

Seraphine1 · 27/02/2012 08:46

I just hope I don't win the "Copyright Infringement" award...

I have to say it was a lovely way to wake up, seeing him in that lovely suit on the catwalk.

CaveMum · 27/02/2012 09:32

Would rather wake up seeing him not in his suit, if you get my drift Wink

SeaShellsDreamingOfSummer · 27/02/2012 09:36

lol I'm still struggling to find pictures of him!

DesperateHousewife21 · 27/02/2012 09:37

I'd rather wake up not with ds' elbow in my eye but BC's in my ahem

SeaShellsDreamingOfSummer · 27/02/2012 09:38

Really should refresh thread before posting! Hurrah Seraphine, and soooo glad he didn't have that wierd white waistcoat on!

SeaShellsDreamingOfSummer · 27/02/2012 09:40

daybreak video at bottom of page

CaveMum · 27/02/2012 09:43

Can't watch videos now I'm at work (no wifi) [grumpy]

CaveMum · 27/02/2012 09:50

The Daybreak video is on YouTube now, various links to it via Cumberbatchweb and Sherlockology on Twitter.

Also this piece, which includes a stunning picture. Such a humble man [sigh]

CaveMum · 27/02/2012 09:53

Another picture

Can I just say, loving the Star Trek hair Grin

DesperateHousewife21 · 27/02/2012 09:56

Lol at Colin Firth saying he's lucky BC touched his bum!

Seraphine1 · 27/02/2012 10:01

Cavemum, you and I are defiantely on the same wavelength... we just cross-posted that last shot!

I'm finding I really prefer him without sideburns. My husband has sideburns and I can't imagine what he'd look like without them (he's ALWAYS had them) But looking at all the pics on Cumberbatchweb, it's easy to compare them side by side. I'm not that keen on this image cumberbatchweb.tumblr.com/post/18156659574/repimg-benedict-cumberbatch-03-benedict and I think it's the sideburns that bug me.

Not like I could ever talk my DH into shaving his off...

DesperateHousewife21 · 27/02/2012 10:01

Just imagining Wink

CaveMum · 27/02/2012 10:12

Oops, obviously that picture in the Digital Spy article is old, as he has (whispers) roots Wink

Seraphine1 · 27/02/2012 10:56

Oooh... here's the longer version of the Vanity Fair interview!

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 27/02/2012 11:10

He comes across as lovely and funny and clever.

He looks hot.

I love him.

CaveMum · 27/02/2012 11:17

Video of images (haven't seen it but copied link from Twitter)

Drool

DesperateHousewife21 · 27/02/2012 11:28

Can you imagining standing in front of that many flashing bulbs? That must be so overwhelming but he is of course taking it all in his stride because he is fit magnificent.

Fluffymonster · 27/02/2012 13:01

Aw Seraphine thanks for the telly images, they look really clear as well!

SeaShells - the 'Where's Benny' pic had me spluttering out my coffee lol.

Unffff the photos of him are just lovely - what is it about him in suits?! Also liked the Vanity Fair interview - he seems reassuringly unspoilt and grounded - and long may he remain so!

CaveMum · 27/02/2012 13:03

Very sweet bit on BBC website Oscars coverage saying that BC asked, before being interviewed, if he could say hello to his mum and dad [melts]

Sadly they cut him off before he could do so, but the Beeb said sorry to them!

LetUsPrey · 27/02/2012 13:11

They obviously also missed off the bit where he said a very special hello to me us.

Good grief, he's almost perfect isn't he? Lack of perfection is down to the fact that he hasn't er "met" me. Grin

Lusting after him aside, I really think he'd be a great bloke just to be mates with. He's just laid back, smart, and an all-round lovely person.

So, if you're reading this BC, I'd very happily just be your friend with benefits Wink Grin
