Benedict Cumberbatch - My Cultural Life

[espritnoir88]

SEX. BAD COP.

Gaaah....OMG - take me now......

Also love the porno music in the background!!

[Raine20oo]

The little moan/groan he made at 1:57...

<3

God yes.

[tinabeaner004]

CATCHER IN THE RYE OMG I DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE TO FALL EVEN MORE IN LOVE WITH HIM, BUT I JUST DID. oahsfdljsa;lfkdj;saljfljsflkj

[nichtswiezuvor]

he looks so much better with dark hair

[Belsis]

he is so attractive!!!!! :3 PD: HE IS TOTALLY THE KIND OF PERSON I WOULD LIKE TO BE WITH ¬¬

[Pauly4life12345]

It is safe to say that this handsome bastard ruined my life.

[kenia0993]

Jesus Christ! How a man like him can exist? He's too freaking much!

[1percentAvailability]

The face he does at 1:21/1:22 ♥♥♥ Oh my goooood!

[sharptoothsnail]

It always breaks my heart a little whenever I hear someone under the age of, say, 50, say that they have The Lovesong of J Alfred Prufrock memorized. I am one of those people. It's like finding another member of a very lonely, very worried fraternity.

[mrswatson95]

1:57 best answer! love u Benny!! <3

[EnDyReader]

@ElineeSama12 thanks very much, your scrip help me so much

[ElineeSama12]

@EnDyReader No problem, glad it's of any use!

[TheVenerated]

i think he likes blondes

[TheVenerated]

i always get sad wen i watch interviews of him talking about himself because i feel like i wouldnt b gd enough for him - though for him i would live in a cardboard box w a rat as a cushion

[spaztastic90210]

His existence is not fair to other men on the planet

[omgaliowns]

i never noticed... the 80s-90s porn music that was used for the background music. me gusta.

[asharfina4186]

that little "Oh..." he made before he said 'sex'! Dear God, why does he do this to me?!

[Hatgooch]

at 1:20 I let our a little sob of lust & had to stop watching.

[Giv3intome]

RAAAAAAAWWWWWW

[TheSpontaneousness]

what a beautiful man. 

[coolgirl199742]

Catcher in The Rye he likes Catcher in The Rye okay I'm dead.

[Lorelia133]

its impossible that he is that flawless. even if he was deformed and crosseyed and all around hideous, the way that he answered those questions would still reduce me to pethetic weeping. he seems like the most thoughtful, gracious person. i just CANT.

[AKRosentreter]

DIONYSIAN!

[gaaraxpotatopie]

TURN THAT DAMN MUSIC OFF I CANT HEAR THE SEXY

[WelshAmber]

'Money or sex' 'Sex' *sqquuuuuuuuueeeeeee* :D I LOVE THIS MAN :D

[abcde7800]

Can anyone write to me the questions and answers?

I'm Italian, I dont understand anything :(

pleasee !!!!!!!!!

[ElineeSama12]

@abcde7800 Okay, I'm not English, but I think it goes like this:

- What's your favourite cliché? -You can't take it with you, when you go.

- I can't hear the second question, but he answers "Lovesong and Ode to the Nightingale".

- What would you say your guilty pleasure is? He answers something about being a sweet tooth, and pies.

- What's the first record that you bought? -....24

- And the book that changed your life? - Cather in the Rye.

- What's your audition piece?

[moonshoespotter96]

@ElineeSama12 Thank you for subbing it! I'm bloody awful at picking up pretty much any accent, even ones similar to my own, and I often miss things (You wouldn't believe how fed up my friends get when I ask them to turn up the television, haha). So, yeah, thanks :)!

[ElineeSama12]

@moonshoespotter96 No problem, I just wish I could understand all of it. So thank you for thanking me, I'm glad it's of use. Are you English, or am I wrong now?

Anyway, you're welcome! :)

[abcde7800]

@ElineeSama12 Thank you very much,you're very kind ^^

[ElineeSama12]

@abcde7800 You're very welcome, and thank you :)

[ElineeSama12]

@abcde7800 So, again I'm sorry, but I can't hear everything either.

- And your favourite villain? - Well, I saw it again recently and I think Heath Ledger's Joker is absolutely original.

- Who'd you like to play with in a film? - Christopher Walken, it would be vey funny to see what he would do, to me.

- Your favourite hour of the day? - Er, dusk and dawn; the magic hours where light changes.

- Do you have any irrational fears? - No, I'm quite a rationalist. I'm not superstitious.

[ElineeSama12]

@abcde7800 I

- I think life is too full of natural wonders and logical complexes to worry about illogical things.

- Scary kind of dream? -Being abandoned in my grandmother's house on my own and waking up to find everyone's gone. So speaks a child who went to boarding school. Abandoning issues.

- What's worth fighting for? - An awful lot. Your name, your privacy, your family. Certain parts, sometimes, I think are worth fighting for.

- What's your signature dance?

[ElineeSama12]

@abcde7800 - Wow, erm, the running man sometimes pops up, that's definitely not my signature. It's what I don't know what's good for me.

- Money or sex? -Sex.

- Apollo or Dionysus? -Dionysus.

- Good cop or bad cop? - Bad cop.

- Dimmon(?) or Hendrix? - Pass.

- James D. or James Stewart? - Oh no! That is.. you're digging deep into my self-split personality. Both.

- Optimist or pessimist? - Optimist.

- Minimalist or maximalist? - Minimalist.

- Grace Kelly or Grace Jones?

[ElineeSama12]

@abcde7800 - Grace Kelly and Lennon McCartney, sorry Paul.

- And my final question is: what's your fancy dress? - My fancy dress is sort of a Snoop-Doggy-style fifties pimp... thing going on...

- I bet you wear it well, thank you. - I do, I do, it'd be nice to come out(?) on weddings.

- Thank you. - My pleasure. Thank you.

So that's about it, I hope it's useful and that someone can tell the parts I didn't catch.

[i1want1your1soul]

im like crying he is so perfect

[emeraldfrost25]

BAD COP!!!

[InsanityOfTheFuture]

haha I love this interview but what's up with the porn background music?

[XamolNa]

Some of you should visit a doctor to get those exploding ovaries checked out...XP

[MissJessSnape]

the groaning sound he makes before he says 'sex'. no, just me?

[sa11y21]

@MissJessSnape

not just you, I replayed it over & over, aaaahhhh

[moggymogthecat]

*goes off to read catcher in the rye and make bannoffee pie*

[katlathedancer]

Why is he so adorably sexy?

[TheAkelei]

@katlathedancer Because he does not focus on it. He just is. That's the mystery.

[emoth100]

Pfft. It's okay Benny, it's not as if I needed my OVARIES anyway.

[Christheatheist1]

Reporter: "What was your most embarrassing moment?" Ben: "When I was six, I got stung by a wasp in a Greek market. A widow pulled down my pants, held me upside down and rubbed an onion on my bum."

[abcde7800]

@Christheatheist1 if the widow saw him now she will eat her hands! ahahahahaha

poor Ben

[SinisterNight96]

so happy he said sex

[aidensquifflets]

'hehehe.. sex.' OVARIES = EXPLODE.

[LokitoChan]

Oh my.. Watching this can't possibly be healthy for me .__. or my poor lady-parts.

[miss0secret]

I wish they would have turned down the music volume. I can't hear what he's saying properly since it's too damn loud! Bloody awful way to spoil and awesome interview... =__=

[LuLuShortieD]

I love the fact that he giggles when he says sex.. :')

[DoodlesByAdzie]

How to capture a Cumberbatch:

Banoffee Pie.

[indielovesunicorns]

Benedict, this is getting ridiculous. If I see you being perfect ONE MORE TIME, you will have ruined all other men for me. ... Too late.

[brittanythecaptain]

I'm now convinced that Benedict Cumberbatch and I would be friends if we ever met and talked.

[LuverGirl987]

Oh my god that groan and then sex *_*

[HandsOffTheIvory]

I actually think he's quite shy. He talks so quietly, and the way he's sitting at 2:51, it's just so sweet and reserved :3

[iLe105]

I love how he quickly says: "Catcher in the rye". He's obviously already thought a lot about it.

[xiaoarma]

Anyone has a transcript of this? I only understood about half of what he said. :(

[MissNephilimAngel]

Jesus Christ, I'm 14 years old and I already know that it's pointless getting a boyfriend who doesn't look like him.

[abcde7800]

@MissNephilimAngel I'm 20, you cannot imagine....

[Passion4TmillsLoving]

QUE TIO BUENOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OO!!!!!!!!!

[ToUnpathedWaters]

The background music in this video is far too loud. It's really frustrating, I can hardly hear Benedict, never mind the questions.

[kikirasohma]

his fancy dress is pimp-like

Interviewer: "I bet you wear it well"

[dane358]

is he really in his 30s? he looks incredibly youthful.. he still looks like Rory!

[ysnc12]

Is he wearing his sherlock coat? xD

[TheAkelei]

@ysnc12 Don't think so. His Sherlock coat was a long charcoal Redingote. This is shorter, a sort of sailor jacket, blue and with gold buttons. But be honest: He can wear everything he likes - and will look gorgeously in it. Deep sighing from my side.... ;-)

[TheBooshygal]

I say to all men now- "If you're not Benedict Cumberbatch, I'm not interested."

DAMMIT Ben! What have you done to me?!

[ouiseylou]

That was an unexpected choice with the Greek gods one. Drink over sun and music... O.o

[TheQueenNarwhal]

Was one of the questions "Apollo or Dionysus?" That's really random if I heard it right . . .

[LovableDork1]

...its official...he's ruined all other men for me.

[paulmccartneyslover]

MCCARTNEY MCCARTNEY ALWAYS MCCARTNEY

[abcde7800]

@paulmccartneyslover yes 4ever!

[mrsmyrnin]

SEX!!!! ^^ great choice!!!

[shellinboots]

sometimes his voice goes so low you can barely hear him. it's pathetically arousing.

[sa11y21]

@shellinboots

Not pathetic at all. Just arousing. Very, very arousing.

[MultiPAVEL86]

AAAAWWWW

gay

[lapetitesinge]

@MultiPAVEL86 "What??" "Nothing. Um, hey."

[MultiPAVEL86]

@lapetitesinge

siriolsy, he seems gay

cause not married + acting gay

[semprun84]

@MultiPAVEL86 Not that it would matter if he was, but actually he isn't.

[TheAkelei]

@MultiPAVEL86 Sorry, love: I can't see anything gay here. And I am not married either and I promise you: I am not gay neither ;-)

[yazmac]

@MultiPAVEL86 Have you watched Sherlock? -He was going out with the secretary from the Blind Banker (Olivia Poulet) for 12 years... not anymore.... it's only a little sad that I know that right?

[melrastessa]

@yazmac not sad at all. easily found information on wikipedia.. not that I looked. or anything

[MsSuperUber]

@yazmac Really!! - the secretary was his ex!! wow i didn't know that! I hear they broke up in 2010 or something. HOW can he STILL be single! I mean seriously. That brain, that talent, that face, that voice. MELT

[banpaiaperson]

saw this and thought, "great another obsession, how long is this one going to last?"

[RNSpicey]

@banpaiaperson Story of my life!

[tinyvessel17]

So I've watched this video like 100 times, and I've just noticed when Benedict answers a question at 1:24 he does this sexy lip bite thing. Ovaries: destroyed.

[ceecdt]

@tinyvessel17 haha same! I've only heard people say someone can destroy ovaries since I've been a cumberbitch but I think you're right.

His voice is like sex.

[JLGequestrian]

"Money or sex?"

"Sex."

WHY YOU SO PERFECT?!

[SallyandJohnny]

Why can't I have him why

I just wanna crawl into a hole and die

[shikamaruisfit]

A book that changed his life: catcher in the rye! :') omg so much more love for him if that is possible at this advanced stage of obsession

[ThingsWeSaidToday]

1:58 'Money or sex' AND THEN HE MADE THE NOISE. i don't know what the noise is called but I *liked* the noise.

[23coralline]

Subtitles please? I can barely hear a thing

[AdmiralAwesome50]

WHY DOES EVERYONE FROM THAT ISLAND SPEAK LIKE CLARKSON?

[FreakiyGiirl]

take us to where he changes, then the music would fit perfectly.

[SweetlyDeAd]

Lether jacket... grrrr *Melts

[xxxFireAndIce]

I think I didn't understand a word... I was too busy listening to his sexy voice and staring ;D

[FutureMrsMattSmith03]

He soooo knows that women (and gay men) would fight to the death for him. He knows it and uses it against us...

Why else would he agree to doing something like this?

He knows we would all do ANYTHING just to at least touch his beauty (hell, my friend not even an hour ago said she would lick his chest the first time she saw him)

[samirhym]

@FutureMrsMattSmith03 he actually thinks he's pretty ugly, apparently :)

he genuinely makes me proud to be British :D

[EllieSUICIDEE]

Benedict Cumberbatch, destroying ovaries within minutes.

[KBoppette]

I would make Banoffee pie for him.

...I've never heard of it before, but it looks freaking delicious!

[nintendolad]

Only two men in this world could make me gay. Old Spice Guy and Benedict.

Get in me, Benedict.

[FutureMrsMattSmith03]

@nintendolad

the black guy that is not Terry Cruise?

[nintendolad]

@FutureMrsMattSmith03 Yes. The "Hello Ladies" guy. The original.

[ivyginny]

Audition piece...? Wow, I really can't understand what he said there. Dammit.

[ivyginny]

Of course, the voice is great. But is there somebody out there that might me able to transcribe what he actually said? Would be a great help. I think I might go deaf-

[Kaalimaa]

Oh wait I am crying.... Too precious for this world.

[Kaalimaa]

He's so perfect. I wanna cry.

[Brownbirdfeather]

I literally didn't hear a word he said; I was too busy listening to his voice.

[LadyElric617]

What fangirl added the casio keyboard porn music over this because BRAVO!

[loubailey90]

this is quite literally the most erotic thing i've ever seen. its pure filth. he is so bloody sexy its ridiculous!

[brwhowhowho]

the music tho...

[Gabriellaella23]

I have to watch this again because I have no clue what he said. His voice ugh and the porn music doesn't really help.

[hereverydayadventure]

I would LOVE to see him do "Oh what a rogue and Peasant Slave am I"!

[tubagirl11756]

Definition of pure sex:

PURE [pyoor] SEX [secks]; noun: everything Benedict Cumberbatch

[laiquend07]

This man. This IMPOSSIBLE MAN!

[sukidesu00]

the way he says utterly ah

[llbye]

So what was the first record that he bought? I couldn't make it out...

[thelittleewelamb]

@llbye Now 24

[llbye]

@thelittleewelamb duhh! of course! cheers! :) (I was assuming the answer is artist name & title)

[KatMEW15]

"snoop dog, pimp style" "I bet you wear it well" oh please show us this or maybe not lol x

[lolitaorwell]

goodbye cruel world

[sunnyncloudy]

The music made this sound like a porno...

[UtterlyFractious]

"I'm quite a rationalist..." *Bites lip*

"Sex or money?" *Makes little growling moan* "Sex..."

Right, this is the moment. I'm in love with him. Oh dear.

[Safferoonicle]

catcher in the rye <3

[Kris9488]

i love how he says "what would he do to me" it always makes me think what would I do to him...

[LyndzyLentil]

Who needs ovaries anyway?

[Totyi]

Ooh I love him!! And his favourite villain is Heath Ledger's Joker!!! He never disappoints me!

[ThatBlasianAyla]

Also the music, I mean...this is practically porn.

[vanessahdepp1]

@ThatBlasianAyla Obviously *_*

[ThatBlasianAyla]

God. The moan at 2:00....OVARIES.

[freaky5805]

Benedict Cumberbatch,congratulation on your face!

[TheAkelei]

@freaky5805 Won't you please forget his voice, his grace, his brain and his 1000 other characteristics which make him so adorable....?l

[PorcupineWeirdo]

2:00

Giggle SEX

[cutieepiexo]

and BAM. Pregnant.

[xXShoPpiinqCoreXx]

I especially liked the giggle right before the SEX! ^^

[78kokka]

Deep, deep, deep envy for the make-up artist.

[camilla7503]

kk he said "sex"

i think that's completely normal. isn't it? :)

becuz he is a MAN

[janesmith852]

Money or Sex? (giggle) SEX!!!!! =] Call me a Cumberbitch!!!! =P

[myettechase]

He is actually the perfect human being. That's it, everybody else go home.

[chickflickaddict91]

Oh God that outfit he is wearing is so hot!

[randomchild81]

Also, that little kind of head nod thing he does after he says "illogical things." LOVE HIM!

[randomchild81]

I have the same favourite poem as Benedict Cumberbatch. I feel like God!

[mahhh93]

Even the way he says 'my pleasure' in the end... sjkhsakjashjksahsa I just wanna bite him!

[CheekymOnKeY572]

This guy is life ruining material.

[bellatalbutt987]

I think he might get a bit creeped out if he read some of these comments......

[barbaro267]

I would have said "Optimus or Megatron?" after the question "Optimist or Pessimist?" LOL

[yeahyousaidit]

The 'uhh' noise he makes when asked 'money or sex' .... *faints*

[Xxqtpie192xX]

Gah I just love him!! <3

Whoever he falls in love with will be one VERY luck lady!

[TheAkelei]

@Xxqtpie192xX I really hope she will be worth it. But being like him it will not be easy to find a soulmate. She should have brains AND looks, don't you think....?

[WorldSpinningBlueJay]

2:31 "Sorry Paul!" So cute!!!!!! <3

[MsDissonant]

Rationalist, minimalist, optimist... He's perfect. I just wish the music wasn't so weird in this.

[ermolaevai1]

он - чудо!

[VlogN3rds]

He just needs to get in my vagina. Seriously.

[Serenity113]

if you google "My Cultural Life Benedict Cumberbatch" a link to someone's live journal pops up that has the transcript of this interview. That's how I found it. ;)

[force2803]

Can someone please tell me- Dylan or Hendrix?

[southkoreasgotseoul]

@force2803 what about them?

[force2803]

@southkoreasgotseoul I didn't hear the answer... that question is after good cop or bad cop...

[southkoreasgotseoul]

@force2803 oh right, he said 'pass' :)

[JulesKonarvewska]

@force2803 I think he said "pass"… I think...

[force2803]

@JulesKonarvewska Thanks... I thought, at first, that it was "last", but it just didn't sound right...

[sivabeneetuttofinito]

can someone write the entire interview down? I've missed loads of pieces because of the music on the background :/

[Katiemadthatter]

"Money or sex?"

[CurlyDaria]

@Katiemadthatter I very like his phrase) He's so cute
