Benedict Cumberbatch talks 'Sherlock'

[@giemethenight1001]

When he speaks its just so relaxing... I might end up buying an audio book read by him just for that.

[@kerk9795]

Theres one of him reading Casanova on KZbin which is good

[@ameliecourtman]

He also reads Sherlock 😂

[@juanitajordan985]

Hmmm

[@bitap4044]

Couldn't agree more

[@killua123333]

his vocabulary is amazing.... not all English man have vocabs knowledge like him.

[@mariamoen1755]

Love it

[@aileenbordelon7884]

I was just about to comment that!

[@brexitmeansbrexit2869]

killua123333 Although he muttered 'filled the food with fridge'

[@owtena]

he and Tom Hiddleston have amazing vocabulary. I'm Russian and I understand English pretty good, but when they're speaking I sometimes have problems with some uncommon words :D

[@rulialee9802]

I have to google words from time to time watching his interviews and Sherlock

[@daisytwotoes]

How refreshing to watch an interview with a celebrity who is thoughtful and articulate.

[@kelseybaloney4984]

I totally agree with Benedict. Sherlock IS truly a very attractive character

[@Chaleen]

I can't even explain how much i adore Benedict Cumberbatch. I just love everything about him. First: His qualities as an actor are incredible. He's so professional and talented and I don't think that he just "plays" the intelligent characters. It's how he articulates. He must be smart himself to be such an good actor, to play such intelligent characters. Just look at this wonderful human being. At first I didnt get why everyone is so obsessed with him, just by seeing a few pictures of him. I was like, what's so special about him. But on screen. Gosh, this man is so attractive, it hurts. Now after watching Sherlock, and after watching like every interview on youtube, im so in love with this man. Like seriously. He's humorous, smart, handsome, charming, so intelligent but kinda innocent. So cute, adorable and lovely. But also so manly. I think I've never heard such an perfect deep voice, I wouldn't mind just listening to him speaking about the world all day long. I can't explain what he does to me, but I've never seen a man so perfect in every way. I would be so honored if i could meet him some day. He's a man i could talk to all day long and just be fascinated by him.

[@theramina6208]

You speak from my soul

[@Chaleen]

+Thera Mina its just so True. I spammed like all the other Videos with how perfect He is. The List of reasons why he's so attractive is just sooo long now.

[@theramina6208]

I actually think it's endless

[@Chaleen]

+Thera Mina damn right

[@Nameless-wr9tj]

I absolutely agree with you. His works are always brilliant and as the human being he is just beautiful inside and out. Nowdays there are so many "stars" who are truly rubish and seing Benedict truly gives me hope.

[@renu0091]

His voice though, OMG.

[@emilygrootkarzijn6944]

yes, christ.

[@nourithavasanth]

[@renu0091]

Tf I didn't even know I commented shit 6 years ago lmao

[@manacrossing9738]

The way he speaks about his role as Sherlock, the words he uses are beautiful and mesmerizing; it makes me slightly wish that Ben would write his own fan fiction scenario about Sherlock and his adventures.

[@cedarfacio7630]

I think Benedict Cumberbatch is the best Sherlock Holmes EVER. I know some people like what Robert Downey Jr. did in the two movies they made with him as Sherlock and Jude Law as Watson, but Mr.Downey kinda ruined my image of SH, he made the character to dependent on Watson, which in my opinion is bad. Because Watson didn't need Sherlock at all, they both have to need each other to some extent and I think that Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch are the best Sherlock and Watson. :D

[@Mark-hn1si]

Cedar Johnson you should watch the Russian one as well. They do have subs version too.

[@Elizabeth-xg3fi]

Cedar Johnson I agree with you but I do like Downeys (sorry if spelt wrong) version as it's different but no, Benedict Cumberbatch is THE Sherlock to me

[@najat2019]

yah..i agree...and Robert downey'as character was like weird,socially awkward one.while benedict's was a genius,smart,and had a swag😄. But i think in novel,SH was like robert downey's

[@mannatsonisinha]

He’s ‘a’ great Sherlock. But don’t discredit the others. They all put in time and effort. Plus people tend to like series more because they can always expect a new mystery from the new episode while movies start and end. Benedict may be gold but he isn’t the best. They all are

[@Puzzsta]

It's remarkable how incredibly intelligent he is and comes off as.

[@namenlos3574]

Normally I'm not a fangirl, I mean I like many things, but don't go totally crazy on them. But if I would meet Benedict Cumberbatch, I think I would completely lose my mind. I admire him so much for his acting skills and as far as I can tell, he is such a wonderful person! I would have so many questions I want to ask him, but in the end I wouldn't get out a word, I think.

[@sasasd926]

I'm exactly the same way. I was never into this fangirling thing but then I discovered him.

[@saramgeorge]

he's so fucking adorable, he doesn't even notice he messes up "food with fridge" because his general eloquence and spontaneity is already in itself fucking captivating and distracting

[@MrWasayB]

your words are more captivating ^_^

[@omarkyon1933]

why do women always go overboard with the stars they like??

[@shinymessygolden7616]

Omar kyon yea cuz men don't do anything of the sort with women they like or are attracted too, don't they. mmmhmm absolutely. not at all. no over-sexualising. no over-objectifying. nope. none at all when MEN are in opinion of women. it's always the WOMEN who over-exaggerate. never MEN. isn't it. how obvious of me.

[@MrWasayB]

Personally speaking... As beautiful as you are Sara, i would completely diagree with you there. Guys are sensitive as fuck! You just have to know where the weakspots are thats all. As for over-exaggeration... I do it all the time for someone i love and adore :p

[@shinymessygolden7616]

MrWasayB i never once said guys "aren't" sensitive. I was just pointing out to the previous commenter that WOMEN aren't the only ones who, according to him, "go overboard" with their attractions or likings. it was my way of counter arguing his obvious attack on WOMEN who he directly stereotyped with "over-board" ways of actions, without being unnecessarily abrasive or aggressive or just plain rude, as most youtube commenters are. i was being purposefully sarcastic and satirical with the same issues with MEN that are just as present, just to make a highlight of what the commenter was indirectly implying. whether or not those issues are mostly sexualised or objectified was an emphasis on my part which i now do realize may have been unnecessary, but it still remains as fact in the world we are living in, and it was the only way i knew i could impart my opposing opinion to him through humour. my own blunt, sarcastic, satirical humour. But thank you for giving your insight on the matter, especially in a way that's calm and respectful. oh and thanks for calling me beautiful. you're beautiful too :)

[@Hashashin710]

His diction and choice of words in casual conversation is flawless.... never misses a beat but never over does it.

[@bellesyukor2387]

Fall in love with his lovely manly voice. And he reminds me of Mr Darcy too haha

[@jeanne_guitton]

Well you know what they say on the BBC: "Roses are red/ Violets are blue/ If you fancy Sherlock/ Join the back of the queue." :-)

[@elleoaten9388]

i love his vocabulary :')

[@Rhakete]

It's very relieving to see that Cumberbatch is actually an intelligent, witty person himself. I think one of the reasons why he plays the character of Sherlock Holmes so brilliantly is because he really understands his personality, his motivation and how he's wired. You would think that that's a requirement for every actor but if I look at movies these days and how some actors talk about the characters they portrait... Cumberbatch does stand out and is a huge part of what makes this show great.

[@corrinabarnett8226]

Everyone: oh my god, Ben is so articulate and intelligent. Ben: "fills the food with fridge"

[@nata4776]

The best Sherlock ever existed ❤️ absolutely love Benedict and his amazing sexy voice ❤️😍

[@amber854]

He words everything so well! Gotta say 'fills the food with fridge' made me laugh :D I love Sherlock AND Benedict, brilliant character but it takes someone with real talent to play the part so well. I love the books and BBC Sherlock is my favourite adaption. Mark Gatiss and Steve Moffat (the worlds biggest sherlock holmes fans) have written such brilliant scripts, modernised, witty, and stay true to the original literature. But without Benedict and Martin it wouldn't be the same, they bring the words on the script to life, it's the combined work all of them that makes the show so perfect and you can say what you like about the actors, I for one think they're incredible but those that don't like ben or the others can't deny the talent involved, on all sides.

[@m.burylo]

They are the worlds biggest sherlock fans, and they just basically fil their own fanfiction XD

[@amber854]

haha yes! (and given season 3 so far, our fanfics too!...have you seen? :D)

Yeah oh my gosh The Sign of Three, was just ONE BIG FANFICTION ONE-SHOT. You know how people always say that they would love to see their favourite fanfictions filmed? Well there you go! what do you think about season 3 so far?

Whenever I watch these interviews, and I get lost in the way he talks. And not just his voice-as fascinatingly deep and beautiful as that is. I love his word choice, his sentence structure, his ability to cover all areas of what he is talking about in a way that is comprehensive and intelligent, his sheer ability to articulate his thoughts. He would be a joy to interview. And not just because I find him attractive. Which, of course, I very much do.

[@thebookflorist]

You know what he just did? He just completely voiced nearly every thought that I had about Sherlock in such perfects words that there nothing left to be said. Except for the fact that I am a Sherlock Holmes nutcase and Sherlock was an absolute delight, which means a lot to me as nearly everything based on books I adore infuriates me with its disloyalty. This is really truly superb. With that understanding, it's Cumberbatch such a great choice?

[@Miaew]

What does he say at 1:16? " The French phrase it's pretty scary when you think that's what I should have said" ? I don't understand

[@s.r.j.4458]

He was talking about the French phrase "l'esprit de l'escalier" (literally, "the staircaise spirit"), which is about the feeling you get when you suddenly find your punchline, what you should have said in the heat of the moment, but way too late, after the discussion's over. Benedict alluded to this phrase to explain why most of Scotland Yard detectives don't like Sherlock: because "l'esprit de l'escalier" always happens to them when they're with Sherlock, he notices everything with only one glance and always has the last word, which is frustrating. And yes, Benedict Cumberbatch is a very cultivated man to know about this phrase, I'm French myself and I only found out about it very recently

[@Miaew]

Oh thank you a lot miss for taking the time to explain to me. I'm not english speaker so I didn't understand it very well some sentence he said. Thank you a lot a lot my friend. Have a good day.
