You can even sing “Ben-e-dict” instead of “Val-e-rie” in the chorus, if you like.
Not that, you know, I do that, when I listen to my iPod. No. I do not do that. Never.
His blond hair isn’t the best colour on him (he looks much better when ginger or dark brown, in my opinion), but he can still carry it off. I think the braces/blue shirt would have still looked super hot even if he was blond.
When he styled it like above, it looked better than when it was left to run free and wild, like below.
But, he still looks far cuter than any man in their mid-30s has a right to.
I shall accept your gratitude graciously, and extend my own thanks to Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch and his very unique approach to fashion.
If he doesn’t come back for the BAFTAs I will hunt him down and take him there myself. So help me God.
Bloody hell, Cumberbatch, what do I have to do to get you to come home?
You should come home right this minute, young man. You’ve made Bernard Cribbins cry.
I’ve just peeked at the photos. I’m going to give him the benefit (I totally wrote “benedict” the first time haha) of the doubt and say that I bet he shipped all his clothes back to the UK ahead of him, and he was stuck with one of Martin’s old shirts and a ratty old baseball cap.
Because, really, that’s the only explanation I’ll accept for why he’s wearing it. And you don’t want to disappoint me, do you, Ben?
I’ve not seen it! Was it a trilby? Or his baseball cap?
I shall defer to the lovely Tom Hardy, who decreed:
“Not everybody runs in the Olympics. Benny should be running in the Olympics. I can see an Olympic runner in him.”
Although, this was on the same day they began a joint interview with tales of bismarcking each other, so…
As for the most sartorially successful sport? Hmm. I think I’d have to go for tennis. I do rather enjoy a nice set of tennis whites. The fact that the gentlemen wear rather lovely and well fitting shorts is neither here nor there.
Although, come to think of it, these are some rather natty golf trousers:
I’mma buy this porkpie hat, and wait patiently for him to arrive back at Heathrow.
The premise of Tamara Drewe is that Tamara (Gemma Arterton) returns back to her home village, so it’s set in the countryside.
The premiere was decorated with fake grass and plastic animals (sheep and cows, at least). He didn’t bring the lamb with him, he picked it up from one of the displays :) because he’s a dork.
The black trilby’s the most unflattering in my opinion. The fedora he wears in Third Star is fairly flattering, though.
The white hat from the Tamara Drewe premiere has grown on me over the past few months - I actually kind of love it now.
Hmmm. Depends how much he was selling it for. I’m not made of money.
I suppose we could do a fundraiser on the blog? I’d keep it behind bulletproof glass. Sealed in securely, never to be worn again.
I have threatened to burn it, but it seems to be an unpopular notion with my lovely followers.
He just needs one with a wider brim - the reason I don’t like the black trilby is because the brim’s too narrow and it elongates his face. There are plenty of other more flattering hats available!
I was having a quick google and I think I found part of Sherlock’s disguise after the fall. He clearly used the traffic cone from Barts when he snuck away.
(This hat is only £2.69 on a fancy dress site. I am sorely tempted to buy it.)
Haha, I love this question.
Well, they’re not filming series 3 for a good while yet, so there’s every chance he might slim down back to his old figure, meaning he can get back in those lovely Spencer Hart suits, and of course, the shirts.
We could, of course, petition that he conduct each investigation dressed in only a white bedsheet. As long as his shorter hair from the pilot episode comes back, I’ll be happy. Come on, Mofftiss, let Sherlock get a haircut whilst he’s away. Haircut, or a beard, and you can do whatever the fuck else you want. I just want a haircut or a beard. Thank you.
He does have lovely hair. Bring back the Gingerbatch, I say! Also, Benedict, buy a better hat.
Problem solved ;)
Yep, me too anon. I’m either translucent or lobster pink. Nothing in between. I feel for him on that point!
That’s possible, good point. I suppose we’ll just have to wait for the film to come out, and all our questions will be answered!
