Benedict Cumberbatch in The Big Issue.

Probably the best piece of press he’s had in the past 2 weeks. Very nice write up.

Do please buy a copy if you have a seller near where you live. It’s a fantastic organisation. I think you can also buy online.

Edit: Scans have been tweaked  -they should be perfectly readable now.

cumberqueen: (Great interview!) Benedict Cumberbatch has fallen in love with an overweight civil servant called Christopher. ‘I am enamoured of his principles, his virtue and the goodness he stands for,’ he says, grinning the wonky grin of the hopelessly smitten. ‘I love him. I really do think that Christopher Tietjens is the character I’m most fond of ever having played.’ Read More

“The tragedy is that Tietjens and his wife love each other, it’s just the wrong kind of love, expressed in the wrong kind of way. There, but for the grace of God, a lot of us might go or are going or have gone.”

But you know, my dear ex-girlfriend Olivia, we’re both very good friends still, but I used to berate her for reading Hello and Heat and all those rags, Grazia. I mean, I know why girls read them, of course they f—ing do. She’s a smart one, and she knew to look at it and go, “This is nonsense.” But it was entertaining, you know, hairdressing reading. I quite get why in the handbags of smart, as well as kind of pop culturally hungry girls, they’re great entertainment. But they can be really damaging because people do take them too seriously.

And it also then starts to affect people’s behavior so that this thing of image — even with men now. The pressure is always more on for girls in every sense. You have a really rough ride of it — in every single sense you have a rough ride of it. Seriously, like, actors can’t complain compared to actresses — it’s horrific. I mean, in Hollywood as well, the sanest, smartest people I know are beholden to the body image, to the f—ing aging shit. Of course we’re visual vessels to portray characters and tell stories, so of course people are going to want to see their better reflection or someone who’s dazzling or stunning or attractive. But it’s great when people like Charlize Theron can have “an ugly moment.” Then when people say, “it was just ‘unbeautifying’ her — that’s why she got the Oscar,” I just want to get up and punch them. Not only was it an incredible performance in “Monster” and a really unattractive character in “Young Adult,” where she was extraordinary, but she’s proven that actresses can have more than a shelf life, that they can have careers dependent on where they are and who they are at any given time in their life, not trying to maintain the idealized youth thing.

I just want this back on my blog. This is my favorite thing he’s ever said.

I hung the fuck out with Benedict Cumberbatch tonight. He’s in town shooting a movie and I ran into him at a bar at 2am and what started off as “Hey, I’m a big fan” turned into an actual 40-minute long conversation about politics and art and New Orleans and his values and upbringing and how weird it is to suddenly be a very very famous person. He remembered my name at the end of the conversation and had me remind him several times of the name of the comic book shop where I work so he can try to stop by while he’s in town. Could not have been more humble and down-to-earth. I know everyone always says that about celebrities… but seriously though. So, so surreal.

  • Me: (tries to make fun of myself by saying that I'd be the most boring person to stalk)
  • Friend (slightly creepy conversation, and not a close friend): i bet out there there would be some1 interested in stalking u la. Common interest.
  • Me: Like what? Benedict Cumberbatch?
  • Me: In that case I suggest that the person should stop stalking me, so that we could both start stalking him.
  • Friend: haha lol. Who the hell is that? His name is too weird for me to stalk him lol.
  • Me: /screechy laughing undignified noise
