Benedict Cuminmysnatch just kissed a woman after breaking through her window.
I never have anything nice happen like that to me.

You can also listen to BC reading Casanova, that got me more than a little flustered I can tell you!

LetUsPrey · 04/01/2014 21:00

Ah yes, Casanova. I remember listening to that in the car on the way home from work. When he said "exploded with lust" I sort of swerved a little bit. (No other cars nearby, no danger - just to reassure folk)

Dammit juice

DH just heard the strains of "Let's get it on" emanating from my laptop and came in to see what on earth I was doing Grin

BC reading Casanova? Not sure my heart could take it!

Where would I find this recording (for research purposes only, you understand).

This thread keeps coming up in active convos, forcing me to keep clicking on all the links again, just to make sure nothing has changed since las time. Ahem.

He hosted HIGNFY once and they made him say "damn good shag" Wink

Heartbrokenmum73 · 04/01/2014 21:24

I just keep returning to the ones of him pulling off his scarf and tucking in his shirt/adjusting his underwear!

Casanova in full, not free sadly. There may be some clips on You Tube.

Heartbrokenmum73 · 04/01/2014 21:29

And underneath it, an audiobook read by Tom Hiddleston!

Heaven...

I only find BC attractive when he has Sherlock hair. Any other hairstyle and I find him quite odd looking. The big hair balances out his strong features.

Couldn't agree more. His Sherlock hair really looks awesome, but when I've seen him on other shows like Top Gear or Jimmy Kimmel Live, his hair is kind of slicked back and makes his features too sharp, IMO.

playavsnow · 04/01/2014 21:42

Did none of you like him in Starter for 10? It rather put me off him

Thurlow · 04/01/2014 21:44

Oh, I love Starter for 10! But he's not attractive in it at all. He really isn't that attractive without the thick back hair and those porntastic suits.

FrankelInFoal · 04/01/2014 21:48

He's played some rather unsavoury characters, Paul in Atonement for example.

Part of the appeal is his talent as an actor, I know some people try to pigeon-hole him as only playing posh intellectuals but they've obviously never looked at his CV in any detail.

VworpVworp · 04/01/2014 21:49

I am disturbed to find I do not find him as attractive as I once did since I discovered that his earlobes are joined to his head rather than hanging freely.

That is really shallow of me, isn't it? Blush

I have to confess that my Dh is actually very similar looking to BC as Sherlock... but has black as his natural hair colour and green eyes Wink

Littlegreyauditor · 04/01/2014 21:57

I think that there is a Jeff Goldblum-ishness about BC which makes me suspect he might be immensely attractive in the flesh (as it were) whilst not always looking his best on screen.

DH, caught up in the drama, has taken it upon himself to stride purposefully towards me and pounce for a whole Sherlock like snog when I am just going about my day. This seems to tickle him. I can't say I object. Grin

Heartbrokenmum73 · 04/01/2014 22:00

Littlegrey

I am vair jealous of your Sherlock-like snogging from your husband.

HRHwheezing · 04/01/2014 22:09

Can this go in classics and can we have him on for a web chat?
Not sure whether it's a good thing as not much chatting would go on but if Idris Elba can do it...

Coumarin · 04/01/2014 23:01

Agree that BC doesn't float my boat as himself although I can appreciate how beautiful he is. It's definitely a case of Sherlock fancying over here although only after that kiss. Who knew hair ruffling could have this effect?

Coumarin · 04/01/2014 23:02

Mind you, his voice...

Imagine him whispering filth into your ear...

DropDeadThread · 04/01/2014 23:05

Littlegrey my DH has a liking for that sort of "I'm going to kiss you right now" thing, which is great, but I'm not sure how to tactfully broach the coat-wearing and collar-adjusting with him. Also, he's bald Grin

DropDeadThread · 04/01/2014 23:08

HRH I'm all for a web chat but really there would have to be a video element to give the full effect. Actually hold that thought.

Littlegreyauditor · 04/01/2014 23:21

Funnily enough dropdeadthread DH is also approaching baldness.

It's the thought that counts though Grin

GatoradeMeBitch · 04/01/2014 23:24

I know it's not the same, but he did do a webchat thing with reddit www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1o8l5f/i_am_benedict_cumberbatch_ama

ImASecretTwigletNibbler · 04/01/2014 23:33

Yes yes yes, the hair is wot does it. The slicked back Medallion Man look is not good.

TheBitchesOfWeestick · 04/01/2014 23:48

Must - stop - watching - the kiss -

nnnnnnngggggg
