My Sanctuary

My Heart's a Battle Ground

Benedict insisted he does NOT see himself as a sex symbol: ‘I don’t know about being the sexiest man in the world. I am barely the sexiest man in my flat and I’m the only guy living there. It makes me laugh because I see all the faults — I have spent 35 years of my life with myself. But I am very flattered. I don’t know how else to take it but to be flattered and giggle.’

He defied blazing temperatures to sign a brace of autographs. Afterwards, he gasped: ‘I’ve had to go inside and have ice cubes put to my wrists.’

Benedict’s reaction upon finding out that he was voted the world’s sexiest man, and also a snippet about him being lovely to his fans at the BAFTAs as usual. (x)

Mum gets a bit emotional on first nights, but Dad… he started to weep at the first night of After the Dance when he was telling me how proud he was. I didn’t know what to do. I just held onto him. I said, ‘You’re not crying out of relief that I got through it, are you?’ And he said, ‘No, you stupid boy. I’m crying because you were so wonderful.’
I’m not gorgeous. But at least I don’t have to worry about taking precious care of my face because it’s my commodity.

I think I really wish Benedict Cumberbatch’s father was my dad. My dad doesn’t give a shit about any of my accomplishments.
