Do you find Benedict Cumberbatch attractive?

I guess he kinda qualifies as sexy-ugly. He is attractive in Sherlock because of his character but he's not my physical preference. I know a few people who are into him in a big way, though.

Now, Matt Smith on the other hand *swoons*



I mean really? The guy looks like his face is made out of plasticine. I think he looks like wallace out of wallace and gromit. Add hair and you'd never notice the difference.

I don't know. I haven't watched Sherlock (I need to) but quite a lot of Sherlock stuff appears on my tumblr dash and he is quite good-looking in those. But when I see other photos of him he looks awful.

Regardless... He needs to appear in Downton Abbey.


I was thinking - yes I just watched the DA Christmas special - that Benedict would make a fantastic guest in the next season. Just for an episode. Side-part his lush ginger curls, wear a high collar, a silk vest and smoke cigarettes. To appear, to rock Downton Abbey and to leave it in shambles. I want a sex scandal. I want him to seduce Thomas until his knees turn to jelly. I want him light-fingered and silver-tongued, slipping gold rings off of unsuspescting fingers, nicking diamond brooches. I want him to swindle Lady Grantham of a large sum of money and leave her thorougly amused. And I want everyone to love and worship him, the charming bastard that he is. That’s all.

He's one of those people that isn't particularly photogenic but looks amazing in motion.

Precisely this.
I think his actual personality in Sherlock and real life...
but physically, no. :eek4:

He does look a bit like Odo from Deep Space 9.

It's his looks (which I think are nice, if quirky) combined with his facial mannerisms and voice. Nom.

No. In fact his face is quite frightening because of how odd it is. Not that there's anything wrong with that, i just don't fancy him.


:rofl: I love the really casual way you say 'In fact his face is quite frightening', not being sarcastic or anything, it just really made me laugh for some reason.

Just thought I'd share :dontknow:

I think that's part of why he's so attractive to me, but then I've always kind of been one for the "unconventionally attractive" men.

Eh, I adore Martin Freeman but I'd want to give him a hug, not... anything else.
I find Sherlock attractive, in all his shapes and forms so that includes BC. And Robert Downey Junior. Such long eyelashes. :love: But outside of his role as Sherlock he doesn't have the same appeal. Especially not in Starter for Ten. And as brilliant as he is in Amazing Grace, he can't compete with Ioan Gruffudd. Not like this:

I love Matt Smith though! It's the eyes. Always the eyes.
