I've just seen Benedict on Late Night With David Letterman and thank god I didn't know he was in NYC, because there's just no way I would ever stalk him outside of the Letterman studios with fifty gajillion tourists and fans... but I would have wanted to. (He was a little nervous, so cute!)
To think that I was a page at David Letterman (remember when his show first started? Yeah, back then. I'm old. I directed audience members to the bathroom and Letterman passed by me once a day.) And to think that I used to disdain the clamoring throngs of people eager for a brush with fame, panting outside the studio for stars' autographs. And now, I WOULD LOVE TO BE ONE OF THEM. I'm so ashamed.
Bonus: CUMBEROTTERS, FTW.
Detractions: trying to get him to say what the "character" will be revealed to be. Stop it already! JJ doesn't want me to know beforehand so I'm GOOD with that, I've made my peace with that!
Bonus: he comes across as so sweet and wonderful. Aw.
So can we talk about how I'm hyperventilating over the new Star Trek and seeing BC in another acclaimed role, etc. etc. etc.? TELL ME IF YOU ARE TOO. And if you're not, because you don't give any actual fucks, talk to me about what you ARE hyperventilating about. I don't care what it is, I want to know and to be distracted from my obsession. Unless it's knitting. I don't get knitting.
P.S. this is hilarious: Benedict Cumberbatch has also been named the “Hunkiest man in Britain” in a poll of readers of The Sun. He beat fellow heartthrobs Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, Jason Statham and David Beckham to the title.
