Caron! I was wracking my brains trying to think of her name but the closest I got was Carol Grin

I'm afraid I have to tell tales on some nasty ladies over in chat who are suggesting BC is in fact not sexy at all ShockShock

Shock Heresy!!!!!!

Cumberlover76 · 04/03/2014 09:21

Oh well, all the more for us. And really, come on, how is this not sexy?

OnlyLovers · 04/03/2014 09:45

Cumberlover, I don't even fancy him in Sherlock but that is pretty hot.

FrankelInFoal · 04/03/2014 09:54

Such a dork Grin

Ah well, the world would be a dull old place if we all liked the same things, wouldn't it? And 6 months ago I probably would have been on the same thread saying the same things and now look at me! So
there's time for them to come to their senses yet...Wink

Good scarf action there Cumberlover!

His publicist gets around a lot doesn't she? She's in the background of loads of those pictures that Frankel just posted.

Hmm, I wonder how you get a job in publicity...could do with a change of career!

piratecat · 04/03/2014 13:28

was looking on youtube, his arrival at Japan airport is quite something, and he's clearly touched, which led me on to this interview, he coes on about 28 mins in, but if you can bothered, watch a bit as he's very humble and amused in this!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 04/03/2014 14:13

I know it's the epitome of impiety, but when I saw the headline, I couldn't help first wondering if she got doused with a fire extinguisher just before taking ill.

That poor woman. Sad

HRHsherlockssextoy · 04/03/2014 14:34

Jesus, somebody's getting a little worked up over a dress

about the dress

The dress was ill advised, given she's a publicist , but really it doesn't matter that much. Somebody needs to calm down, it won't get anymore brownie points.

piratecat · 04/03/2014 16:27

hmm very odd reaction indeed

FrankelInFoal · 04/03/2014 16:55

I think the reaction is because some BC fans get carried away and seem to criticise Caron at every turn "who does she think she is?!" "why does she dress like that?" Etc. Don't get me wrong, the Oscar dress was a "daring" choice, but for crying out loud she's working, doing her job looking after BC and making sure he's where he should be at all times. A lot of the criticism smacks of jealousy in my opinion, some fans get strangely possessive over their idol and don't like to see other people doing a job they wish they could do.

Yeah i saw that and thought it was a little OTT, just feeding the trolls really.

According to this Benedict went home/hotel alone, but i'm sure if he did pull he'd arrange to meet her later rather than leave with someone, he knows what the press are like and the US ones are worse than ours at times!

I'll keep his bed warm.......

FrankelInFoal · 04/03/2014 17:06

I sincerely doubt he's been living like a monk over the last year or two Wink

LetUsPrey · 04/03/2014 18:48

Not been around in here very much, but loved all the Tumblr pictures of him at the Oscars. Particularly liked the ones of him welling up at Lupita's speech, and the ones with the "errant curl"

HRHsherlockssextoy · 04/03/2014 20:14

Oh crap!

Have just found out you can put BC's name into search on sky, and up comes lots of stuff.

South Pacific, Stuart, ww1 tunnels of death.

Can recommend turning point. Marvellous.

SugarFinney · 04/03/2014 22:45

So many lovely links and pics over the last few days. What did I do with my time before I discovered (via mumsnet BCAS) tumblr - specifically cumberbuddy and cumberbatchweb?

HazeltheMcWitch · 04/03/2014 23:53

Right, Cumber - er, people. What is the skinny re BC and his publicist? It is not usual to take your publicist into the ceremony - no one else does. And she was sat 2nd row back - prime seating.

ColinFirthsGirth · 04/03/2014 23:57

Hazel - I would imagine that maybe she helps him alot and maybe he relies on her. Plus I thinki it is cos he's nice and wants her to enjoy it too.

HazeltheMcWitch · 05/03/2014 00:04

Oh, I think he is nice, am not trying to be bitchy!

Just odd that he said that he wished he could bring his mum one day, when he has obvs made the choice to bring his publicist. Unless a) he wanted to, b) someone else was meant to be coming and could not at last minute etc... c) er - something else.

Of course, a ii) could then be... they are more than just publicist/actor. Could they be ??? Grin

ColinFirthsGirth · 05/03/2014 00:30

Nah! I realy don't think there is anything between them but she is safe person to take baring in mind that if he takes any other woman apart from her or his mum the media start to make stuff up.

HazeltheMcWitch · 05/03/2014 01:06

Hah, so have I assumed the making stuff up role?

eeek! Blush

ColinFirthsGirth · 05/03/2014 08:34

No Hazel I didn't mean you. I meant the newspapers say that he is with any woman that is seen with him.

FrankelInFoal · 05/03/2014 08:55

Do you remember when he was snapped getting into a car after a cinema trip with a pretty young blonde woman about a year ago. The tabloids went nuts about his "new mystery woman". It turned out to be his niece!
