‘I think there is something about Sherlock Holmes, which has possibly always been the case – there’s a kind of unapproachability about him. He’s not interested in sex… apparently. So you immediately get that Mr Darcy thing going on.
‘He can’t be tamed. It’s attractive. Those are the people we are attracted to – the ones that aren’t interested.
‘I think it’s that and the combination of the Byronic looks that Benedict has – and the coat! – that’s made him into, possibly, the first sexy Sherlock Holmes.’

He also said Sherlock may bot be back until 2016.

He was good (if a little overwrought) as Van Gogh too.
ReplyDeleteWent off him when I found he's an Old Harrovian
ReplyDeleteI love Gatiss, but Cumberbatch is fucking dreadful as Holmes and so is the whole show.
ReplyDeleteHe isn't supposed to be sexual or a figure of sexual attraction.
I loathe the whole "Ooh, isn't Benedict and Sherlock sexy!" crap. It's bullshit. They must have shit in their eyes.
