    Well tbh it's nice that he's popular for having a talent (and of course he'll be everywhere since he's got a heavy workload) than being a vacuous non-entity that is a Z-lister selling every fart.

    Benedict Cumberbatch is an extraterrestrial and he is reading your mind right now.

    But it's not his fault he's everywhere! It's awards season, The Imitation Game is a serious Oscar contender and it's a Weinstein production which means a hard hustle.

    You can't knock Cumby. He's a great ambassador for GB talent.

    I don't think he's everywhere. He's promoting a film so he's getting slightly more coverage at the moment but nowhere near as much as some other "celebs" with far less talent, imo.
    Seems pretty down to earth to me, and I really like his acting:)

    He's in a British potential Oscar contender, the finale of the Hobbit saga that is set to be a Christmas blockbuster, he's recently got engaged... if the press are paying more attention to him, it's for good reason currently.

    And a damn good film. I saw it last week and I'd happily pay to see it again. Wonderful acting from Benny Cabbagepatch, among a top notch cast! (A little bit of Matthew Goode never does me any harm!)

    She was in Casualty (or Holby) a few weeks back and she honestly hadn't aged a bit! She still looked fabulous. I do wonder how such a good looking woman could have a son who has a bit of a reptilian look to him (he is not a looker is he?)

    It's not all about looks though is it ? He has a devilishly sexy voice....mmmmm and seems to be a thoroughly nice chap to boot.

    Oh I think he is! Although I can agree that he's a bit of an acquired taste, looks-wise, but it's the whole Cumberbatch package: the combination of his looks, his talent, his voice, him in motion rather than in stills = very appealing, rather dangerous, little bit creepy, but very sexy. :D

    Agree re his mum, she's looks fab.

    Boring, generic looking, upper middle class. Looks like the kind of guy who could whip his tackle out at Christmas dinner and not even offend your Nan. Sadly these are the actors we're left with now 90% of drama is aimed at women.

    Agreed, apart from the women part, me being one. :p He does seem to play the same type of guy, probably himself. So, not that great an actor, IMO.

    I think I may be in a small minority but I see nothing in his whatsoever, acting wise, he justs seems to play in a one dimensional way & as for his looks. (which he is lauded for) I know attraction is subjective, but I find him somewhat startling looking...almost feral.:o

    I don't find him exceptionally talented though (I think he's OK - but no better nor worse than others of the same 'standing' for want of a better word). From some interviews I've read from him - he's a bit of a whinger isn't he?

    I'd rather have David Morrissey any day of the week - talent, looks, a towering presence.

    Of all the things I've heard people say about Benedict Cumberbatch, I've never heard anyone call him generic looking. Surely he's the opposite of generic looking?

    As for him playing himself, apart from being a bit posh, he seems nothing like Sherlock or Stephen Hawking irl. Hopefully nothing like Khan too.
