I am officially obsessed with Benedict Cumberbatch. I knew (“knew”) him from Atonement first, and thought that this guy is quite ugly. Like, seriously, ugly. It didn’t help that SPOILER ALERT BUT I DON’T CARE BCOZ IT’S NOT 2007 ANYMORE he was also the rapist but let James McAvoy took the rap and forever altered the future of the lives of McAvoy and Keira Knightly. That was a depressing movie, not gonna lie.
He’s now in BBC One, Sherlock, among other productions.
Season 1 was cool, but to me it was also like watching a British/non-medical-centric episodes of House M.D. Both protagonists are highly functional socio-path with above average intelligence and little patience for those not quick enough to cope up. I mean, the mysteries are cleverly written and funny, and the scenes are beautiful, but it’s like… House. Season 2 however… omg I love it so much I want to marry it! Like, sometimes I catch myself daydreaming about being in one of the episodes. Gaaaah I’m so pathetic. Not only are the stories better, but the chemistry between Sherlock and John (Watson) is so… dynamic. I do not want them to separate, ever!! But yes, Sherlock’s love of his life is Irene Adler, who was introduced to us in the first episode of Season 2, and… well, I’m so jealous of her. I want Sherlock to love ME! Gaaaah I’m so pathetic.
So now that I’m properly obsessed, of course I googled everything about him. Found this gem of an interview from Guardian, which makes me sad and happy at the same time. You guys should totally read it in full, but my favourite part:
What do you most dislike about your appearance?
The size and shape of my head. I’ve been likened to Sid from Ice Age.
CANNOT BE UNSEEN!!!
Every time I look at him I see Sid now! Thanks a lot, Ben.
“Ben”
