Benedict Cumberbatch is an interesting character, who constantly seems to be in a slightly edgy dialogue with his own fame and people’s interest in him and the characters he plays. He’s often shown disdain for the press and paparazzi, suggesting they go report on something important rather than following him around, and now he’s having a bit of fun with his fans and they’re reactions to his roles.
He took part in a Reddit AMA on Friday, where he took the opportunity to try and put the entirety of the Internet in a gay fan-fiction lather., When asked, “Do you, Matt Smith and Tom Hiddleston have cheekbone polishing parties?”
Benedict responded, “We like nothing better than buffing our Zygoma. And imagining a horny time traveling long overcoat purple scarf wearing super sleuth nordic fuck fantasy. Get to work on that, Internet.”
At which point gay fanboys across the world promptly fainted (only kidding).
Cumberbatch is currently going a bit gay himself, playing codebreaker and computing pioneer Alan Turing in the currently shooting The Imitation Game.
So now you have your mission Internet, it’s time to get to work! (Take a look at the actual comment below)
