Tom Hiddleston on Benedict Cumberbatch

“He’s one of my best friends. It’s as simple as that. It’s funny how people have framed us together in a way. He’s just a great, amazing, brilliant actor.”

“Benedict’s a dear friend – I was chatting with him this morning, mainly to grill him for information on the new Star Trek film, not that he told me anything.”

 “Benedict is one of my best friends, we live around the corner from each other in London”

 ”As soon as Guillermo called, I called Benedict and I said this is happening, and he was like, ‘Amazing!’ So, I had his blessing.” (after he got Crimson Peak)

Benedict Cumberbatch on Tom Hiddleston 

“It happens all the time,” Cumberbatch said. “People just don’t get to hear about it. It’s a very private thing. We like nothing better than buffing our Zygoma. And imaging a horny time traveling long overcoat purple scarf wearing super sleuth Nordic legend f—- fantasy. Get to work on that, internet.” (on cheekbone polishing with Tom and Matt)

And THEN. He saw my ink drawing of Tom Hiddleston. He stares at it, says “Has Tom seen this? This is amazing.” I replied “No, I have no way of getting it to him.” Benedict looked up, cocked his head, and said “I can get it to him. I’m his friend.” Me: “Would you.. really? You’re..” B: “If you want it signed by him, just out your address on the back, leave it on the gift giving table. I will get it to him, get him to sign it, and he’ll send it back to you. Is that okay?” Me: “You are fantastic, thank you so much.” He smiled this huge smile, looked at the drawings again, and handed the portfolio back. We then thanked each other.. and I went and put the Tom ink drawing on the gift giving table.

some of my favorite accounts on Tom and Ben’s friendship.

Hollywood Reporter:  Benedict Cumberbatch Describes How He Would Play a Love Scene as Sherlock

“I’d know exactly how to please a woman”

When an Elle UK interviewer suggested Benedict Cumberbatch’s BBC version of Sherlock Holmes would be a “terrible shag,” he was quick to set the record straight. Cumberbatch launched into an extremely detailed, sexual description of what Sherlock would be like in bed. As in: so detailed ardent fans may want to stand under an ice bucket while reading the quotes. 

Things started off simply enough, with Cumberbatch describing how he would test latex, run an experiment on “durability and length,” take vitamins, shave and watch porn. But then came theboom. (Get ready to think about violinists in a different way.)

“And then I would be devastating,” said Cumberbatch. “I’d know exactly how to please a woman, I’d know exactly where to put my fingers, where to put my tongue, where to put my — his, I should say — his fingers, his tongue. Think about violinists, think about what they can do with their fingers.”

The actor picked up steam. “And I’d know exactly how to get that person into it, and get pleasure out of making that person feel pleasure to the point that I probably wouldn’t even have to enter.”

“But when I did it would be explosive,” he added.

Ice bucket. All the ice buckets. 

“I’d quite like to watch that love scene now,” said the interviewer, expressing the desires of all Cumberbatch fans around the world.

“You never will,” replied the actor. “It’s not that kind of a program, is it?”

Ouch. Hopefully Cumberbatch is wrong, and one day there will be a Sherlock love scene. Violins and all.

I love this man’s mind….
