Benedict Cumberbatch - Rock Star for a Day!

[@jaycee3177]

God, he's so well spoken! I swear, I am more attracted to his voice and intelligence than his gorgeous looks!

[@Arwen1964]

He's "The Thinking Woman's crumpet" called, not for nothing. I couldn't agree more. 😅

[@VixeyTeh]

Did anyone else's heart just stop when he said "please love me" in that sweetly baying voice.

[@Chaleen]

When you can even talk with Benedict about pets for like 5 minutes how long could you talk with him about other things? I would love to just talk with him all day long about the world and be amazed by how he talks and articulates, and by his voice. God, i love his voice. And British accent.

[@tarsun]

I CAN LISTEN TO HIS VOICE ALL MY LIFE DAMN IT'S SO SOOTHING 😍

[@tesswiltgen2123]

"Why aren't you doing what I know you should be doing? You know, like your homework, or giving me food or going to work, or have you picked the kids up yet?" HAHAHA his facial expressions too. This is pure gold.

[@Mongalz]

He has wonderful eyes.

[@xbreakfastclub85]

The audience isn't dull because they're American, it's the nature of this particular talk show and what type of show Katie Couric puts on.

[@amautifect]

She missed a golden opportunity to say "you got the moves like Jagger?"

[@TechnoBambino]

I think some celebrities would like this sort of interview every once in a while. Imagine being asked the same questions over and over again, for every film. It's hard to tell though because he is such a genuine guest every time.

[@aryastark1614]

I honestly never knew what my friends saw in Benedict a few months ago but after happening across this, OMG! GORGEOUS!

[@darlington9738]

it’s so notable his profession through the interviews he gives, the faces, the tone of voice and how he handles his surroundings

[@NicholasBerube]

Katie is like watching my mom interview Benedict Cumberbatch.

[@OrganPumpingBlood]

I love how he talks about everything with so much honesty and passion. I bet it would be interesting to have a conversation with him :)

[@veronicagonzales9724]

He is so adorable! This interview made me love him more.

[@anamaria-ek7bm]

that voice.

[@misscolts]

Is the audience mannequins! Geez the mood is so blah but Benedict still managed to make me laugh!:D

[@alycianardini9442]

I am pretty sure everyone would agree that we are called "Cumberbitches"

[@eidothea]

I prefer the term Cumbercookie, because together, we're CumberBATCH. Plus, he did mention in an interview that he prefers his fans to not call themselves a 'bitch'.

[@junesilver7193]

Call us "Cumberbabes". I dream about him - o God, help me.

[@beneddiected]

Benedict doesn’t

[@TheGava4]

Is it me or was it odd that the audience was very quiet.

[@goldyd144]

Not really. They were just basking in the glory of "dat sweet molasses" that is his natural speaking voice.

[@fiellabella8628]

This was such a great interview, and Benedict was, of course, perfectly lush!

[@97kir]

I love how humble and cool he is. Cumbercollective FTW :)

[@iblieveinian]

Benedict Cumberbatch, as always, Brilliant!! Katie ... hmm, Dull.

[@deedL3]

He's smart & handsome. Biggest crush on him!!

[@ItsyBitsyIrishGirl]

Benedict had some really great and intelligent points about the press and the interviewer just completely side stepped him and started talking about pets...

[@TheMasterMief]

Shallow americans again... Miserable!

[@DarthYodaJammin]

TheMasterMief Woah woah woah! Woah! Too broad of a category. Step back and reanalyze if you'd be oh, so generous.

[@bonnie3kids]

DetectiveShezza she is shallow and boring

[@heathergittens3223]

Yeah, that wasn't nice when she shut him down. I mean, let the man talk.

[@arwalinaynay9413]

''Please Love me'' hahah so cute!

[@xxiiDi4M0NDxx]

He is just so lovely!

[@seramae]

Jonsi??? Omfg I love him even more now!

[@Museefan812]

Lurchers are quite a common dog breed, I'm surprised no one in the room but Benedict knew them. Also a shame that none of the audience seemed to appreciate his thoughts about the paparazzi and the press in the UK :(

[@MoonchildLibros]

agree with the last part, about the dog lurchers, honestly in central america we don´t have that type XD, sorry, is not a common, like a labrador.

[@Museefan812]

Ruzumoon Ah, fair enough ^^ It's a shame, they're a beautiful breed :)

[@MoonchildLibros]

I saw pictures and is nice, like a wolfhunt?

[@Museefan812]

Ruzumoon Do you mean a wolfhound? If so, then yes, they have similar characteristics, and to create a lurcher you usually have to breed a wolfhound with another breed, such as a whippet or greyhound.

[@Tiptoptopgearis]

I could listen to him all day.

[@KptnHaddock_]

Sigur Ros

[@sarahjanealacbay6782]

Me @2021 full volume wearing headphones never get bored of BC's baritone voice .hahaha momentum !

[@sienna2coldplay]

Fan of Jonsi and Sigur Ros??!! I officially love you!

[@Pongchieful]

"Little bit silly. Little bit sophisticated. Little bit independent." Is he describing his ideal dog or his ideal woman?

[@krishnamagar3010]

Yes very nice

[@sodabella]

He did say at the end that it sounded as if he was describing himself. LOL!

[@TheSherlockedAvatar]

He's a dog person!! S3 Spoilers below Just like Sherlock with redbeard!! awwww

[@uhhhidk8300]

TheSherlockedAvatar s4 spoilers below: Redbeard isn't a dog!

[@Glo.07]

He's to perfect💗😌

[@holylipstick]

this show is so cold. i won't watch it if it wasn't for cumberbatch

[@ninjaahjumma]

4:55 - "Please love me." YES YES YES WE LOVE YOU

[@vickieoglesby536]

I've been impressed with him ever since when he used to be on BBC s sherlock holmes... great he's in films now

[@murly45]

Katie really missed the mark with this interview! She just goes on and on about Mick Jagger's age! She doesn't know anything about Benedict...I've seen him interviewed and he is so intelligent and funny.

[@DaisyKary]

Katie is the worst at interviewing! But BENEDICT is AMAZING!!!!!!

[@jojotuttle]

I love his EYES.

[@jdj1017]

The fact that he clarified that Jonsi is the lead singer of Sigur Ros...goodness. I love him. I bet he's seen him live! I've seen him live, I love concerts, I love dogs, and i'm infatuated with Mick Jagger. Let's get married!

[@kreativjunkie8053]

Whow! I hadn't any idea about Lurchers. After rechering I found out about them. Thanks Ben They are very fascinating dogs

[@0izziejok0]

The "please love me" look kills me xD

[@sianb.5286]

'frankensteinian cute thing' - I must use this phrase in my life.

[@annarose2804]

What he said about the Ed Miliband/Daily Mail incident was brilliant... Exactly right! Hear, hear!

[@lukemoffat6358]

Why does Katie feel the need to answer the questions as well?? It's about Benedict not her!

[@kotaTTmaster]

he's wearing moriatys tie! that one with the skulls on it!

[@Peppersmom98]

This made my day much better. Thank you :)

[@elefunktion]

Oh my gosh, he knows about Sigur Ros!!! I quite literally squealed when he said that which probably woke someone up but Hey, fan girls gotta fangirl.

[@jjc221]

Love u, B. C. ❤️

[@Guimmi]

I think I'm in love.

[@paula_garcia]

I love this man

[@161uptowngirl]

I feel they should let fans interview stars ..especially since ppl like him hav so many hard core clever , intelligent fans :))

[@190miranda]

Cumberbatch said exactly what i would have said! lovely answers...Jonsi and Dogs....he is kinda heart winner!

[@NotTheCommunists]

I think it's so cool that he likes Sigur Ros because the song from the BBC Drama 2013 promo was by them :)

[@milliex213]

How he pronounced Jónsi! And I adore both of them!

[@ethorpet]

He has the moves like jagger I would love to see it. Xx

[@97kir]

There are so many looks and expressions here that are sooner or later gonna be made into gif's.

[@darlington9738]

TE AMO😭😭😭🤲

[@popskiptea8707]

He's even a dog person! Like I needed another reason to love him.

[@alexabarraza_]

Why doesn't Katie give Ben time to speak instead of interrupting him . . .

[@Niniischill]

You got a lot of weird fans out there? Did she really just say that? Pfft I'm not watching this Katie annoys me

[@adri7753]

very handsome

[@charaebelle]

He is so beautiful I just

[@burnerdaughter]

It's funny, normally I don't see any of his Sherlock in anything. His versatility stretches the bounds of imagination.

[@clarasalzmann7196]

Sherlock the Dragon....very cool...seriously

[@TiffWatson]

Very respectable answers. Of course I love Dogs and Cats so That's pretty awesome

[@helene3370]

He is adorable.

[@Jhf_eclipse]

Possibly his dullest crowd ever. Everyone was just too serious, damn.

[@tardislizard]

He is SO write! Collies just sort of chase after you like "why haven't you finished your homework?" *nod nod*

[@MartinsNewTeeth]

Holy crap...I love whippets!!!

[@letsdothis9870]

"I just like saying your name". Girl same

[@burnerdaughter]

More than in any other interview I think he looks like Sherlock as he says "No-o-o cats, cats are bad."

[@mitrasigilipoe6765]

Benedict Cumberbatch knows Sigur Ros, and Jonsi. Music taste approved ;)

[@sarahmcclanahan1877]

OH he is So achingly beautiful and look at those Ears and listen to that Voice....Purrrrr

[@CrownJewels7]

I thought so too!

[@lesshairagain]

There're some really good questions here, if only the interviewer and the audience were better -_-

[@bareminimumtryhard]

I have an Irish Wolfhound and listen to Jack White as well! :D Take me Benny ^-^ I adore him so much :))

[@SensationalBanana]

Oh my God...he's a dog person too?? The fact that this man will never be mine is starting to become depressing T.T. He's fantastic.

[@susanleblanc3016]

I love how he says Labradoodle

[@kingsalem1421]

Is he wearing the same tie Andrew Scott wore in the pool scene back in season one?! It looks like it to me. Forgive me if I'm just being stupid haha.

[@keepXonXrockin]

sigur ros, hell yeah

[@morphena1]

seems we have a lot of music we like in common :)

[@Cassidy-s8h]

I love that he loves sígur ros

[@TheLadyLilyth]

seconded!

[@GreenwithEnvyx]

BC is also trying to move everyone away from CumberBitches because he truly does not like the name. He doesn't want us fans to insult ourselves with the term. CumberCollective is what he would want us to call ourselves. I like the idea of being CumberCookies individually and a CumberBatch when all together :3

[@jenniferkonstant2974]

Sigur Ros, Elbow, Jack White. The man's got great taste.

[@Ungraceful94]

I used to have a lercher.saluki cross and she was exactly how he described :)

[@thelandofme]

Did he say Jack White?!?!?! That's it, I'm in love

[@synnetorgersen708]

Ahh!! You listen to Sigur Ros! :D

[@jaskbanner]

I liked this interview. Katie wasn't fawning and being overly enthusiastic like the young journalists nowadays. It's annoying when they do that. And I learned some things about Mr. Cumberbatch I didn't know before. Like his taste in music and animals. Plus his humor was more exposed. Annnnnnnnnd his serious side in regards to journalists over stepping boundaries. Media today is too aggressive. I wasn't like this when I was a journalist. I got more interviews because of it.

[@RandomExclusive]

i swear we decided on cumbercookies so together we'd become the cumberbatch

[@MuseToYourEars]

I can't reply to the person who said the shows atmosphere wad like a hospital, but that made me laugh. I've been to funerals with a more comfortable atmosphere

[@Gayathri87]

The atmosphere of this show is similar to that of a hospital

[@ormancadam6453]

Why so many people hate this interviewer. Some say she is rude, some say she is obtuse. People just don't Fking watch. Problem solved... . I think she is genuine and relaxed.

[@sodabella]

aww i love this guy!

[@VioletHarbour]

Well Benedict actually prefers the ones without 'bitch' in them, I heard a good one: individually we're a cumbercookie because together we make a cumberbatch :)

[@alligatoruk]

Love this, so serious (the press bit) and then so cute! I bet that girl in the audience melted when he singled her out (and yes, I agree cats are definitely a Noooooo)

[@AS_G99]

SIGOR ROS OMG HE KNOWS ABOUT SIGOR ROS OMG I THOUGHT I COULDN'T LOVE HIM ANY MORE YOU MAKE US WEEP, BENEDICT, YOU MAKE US WEEP.

[@jo-annklimowicz2189]

This is why the only interviewer I like is Graham Norton.
