I hate smoking and everything about it, I hate the lingering smell and it looks ugly and people should know better. I always complain about it. But Benedict smoking, well ... that's different isn't it ... elegant and sexy and a little bit naughty

Ooh, that's from Turning Point, HRH. Lots of hot, smoking action in that one!

I quite often prefer people who smoke. Most of my friends are ex-smokers, as am I. I'm actually a bit annoyed that on a dating site I signed up with, the automatically assume that if you are a non-smoker, you'd prefer a non-smoking partner. I don't really mind.

I love the scene in Sherlock with him and Mycroft smoking and their mum catching them!

hold on a minute - the 2nd Hobbit film isn't out on dvd yet. So no dragon action for me hurumph.

I do think it's important for an actor to be able to smoke properly - Keanu Reeves in Constantine (USP: chain smoker) clearly isn't a smoker and he just looked all wrong, despite being very beautiful and all that. BC would have been a masterful Constantine and would have smoked to perfection.

I used to be terribly anti smoking when I was younger, but quite uptight, which is what I think you can be, but as I've got older, I don't mind it so much. Each to their own and it is sexy.

Nothing bad about this photo. Must stop looking. As if. Anyone watching the oscars. If you have e he might crop up, on live from the red carpet.

wet and shirtless

Discovered yesterday that Parades End was on the new Kindle Prime thing. Am already on Episode 4 and may even finish it tonight. Love his character in it, always so sad and put upon, makes me just want to cuddle him and other things Grin

piratecat · 02/03/2014 21:44

oh my good gracious this is just beautiful.

sorry if it's been done before.

sigh

ColinFirthsGirth · 02/03/2014 21:51

Oh dear god piratecat! He is soooooo gorgeous in that photo. I am getting a hot flush!

ColinFirthsGirth · 02/03/2014 21:52

Rivertam - wow! he has a lovely adam's apple - I never thought I would ever write those words down

piratecat · 02/03/2014 21:54

Colin

he's all wet............arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

ColinFirthsGirth · 02/03/2014 21:57

I know Piratecat - he is sooo lovely wet. I just imagined being the one in charge of making him wet.

I could put the drops of water on him individually with a dropper so I could pay close attention to detail - I would be good at that! Grin

ColinFirthsGirth · 02/03/2014 22:00

I haven't admired a wet man so much since Colin Firth got out of the lake in his shirt in Pride and Prejudice!

holmessweetholmes · 02/03/2014 22:06

Good lord. That wet naked one, Piratecat... Wow.

Oh my good God piratecat I will have sweet dreams tonight after that pic

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 02/03/2014 23:05

Success! I have just Cumberbatched a friend of mine from uni!! (evil cackle) Just had a furious Facebook exchange about what she should watch next. (She was quite intrigued about the promise of bare bottom in TTEE.) Today: Nebraska. Tomorrow: The world!!

heh heh heh...

Also finally got DS1 to sit still long enough to listen to an episode of Cabin Pressure. Since we play Yellow Car together, I played Vaduz for him (he loved the Maxi-Arthur fights). He actually wanted more! Now if I could just get the 4 yo to be quiet long enough for us to get through an episode or five I'd be all set.

Oh Frankel !

I was nearly organised this morning until you posted those! Just another minute looking, just another minute looking....

There's too much too post! Go to Cumberbatchweb and just keep scrolling down! There's a 2 minute video from the red carpet (very poor sound quality) and I got very distracted by Benedict's PA's dress - now that is a low cut dress!
