Something to Muse About: Benedict Cumberbatch breaks the Internet with AMA Q&A

Benedict Cumberbatch breaks the Internet with AMA Q&A

Internet, brace yourself for the inevitable Cumberrobe fan art.

Benedict Cumberbatch is on fire at the moment, with enough upcoming films to make your head spin. In The Fifth Estate, Cumberbatch will be portraying Wiki-leaks founder, Julian Assange. In order to promote the film, a Q&A session on reddit was setup and as to be expected, The Cumber Collective/Cumbercookies/Cumberbabes unleashed a barrage of questions with the hopes of receiving their glorious Cumbermoment. Here is a compilation of all the questions answered by the man himself, Benelock CumberKhan.

Behold a double dose of British Bromance.

And what, pray tell, has your hand so preoccupied in that pocket of yours, Benedict Cheekybatch?

Benebill Cumberboard. Or perhaps Benedict CumberBored? *shoots wall*

Take note, future Cumber-interviewers, or The Cumber Collective just might descend upon you.

The number of survival theories on how Sherlock Holmes survived his Reichenbach Fall is enough to overwhelm paranoid conspiracy-theorists.

Following the success (and rabid internet consumption) of Tom Hiddleston's lesson on delayed gratification to Cookie Monster (#TomNomNom), will Benedict Cumberbatch be the next British talent to pay a visit to Sesame Street?

Whomever you wished to spend the rest of your life with... *covers ears as Tumblr screams, "I volunteer as tribute!"*

So, which filmmaker and/or studio is going to jump on this? This is easy money. *Cumber Collective whips out bills and makes it rain*

Short-term ambitions ~ hence his having eleven thousand films being released within the next year.

You could always pull a Johnny Depp and buy your own island to get away to. Don't forget your kindle.

So which members of the Cumber Collective will now pursue careers in U.S. customs?

It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you

A profound insight into the Cumberpsyche.

But what we found out is that each one of us is... a detective, and a dragon, and a necromancer, a monster, and a genetically-altered super-human that is better in every way.

One would never wish to incur the wrath of Martin Sassman.

Dancerbatch yet again creates poetry with his eloquence. *counts down for the F-bomb that will inevitably follow*

Proof that Cumberfilms shall never fully replace Cumbertelly.

Be sure to check out Cumberbatch's latest appearance on The Graham Norton Show, where we get an insight as to Cumberbatch's fangirling first encounter with Harrison Ford.

So many Cumberpuns, so little time.

The Cumbermanners that have set many ovaries aflame.

Before asking what a yorkshire pudding dinner is, might I recommend Google?

Of course the answer has been clear, right from the start: Cumberwings.

Have any other Cumbercookies named their pets after a Cumbercharacter? Have you dressed them up in cosplay? Let's see those photos.

Cumberradio: for those who crave more than Tumblr audio clips.

The following is in response to this submitted fan art.

A reaction to fan art: Cumberbatch knows how to please his fanbase.

The Neutron Cream Maneuver has countless posts on Tumblr, for those that have yet to partake in the giggles.

Claiming this caption for personal fangirling as I am Japanese. Benedict, I am available to play tour guide/cross-cultural consultant.

Ted Danson is part of The Cumber Collective. Who says we're all womyn?

I don't recommend posting him liquor. He's already being haunted by J. Edgar Hoover after correctly stating that his fandom could take over a small country.

Has anyone showed him the multitude of Tumblr posts solely fixated on admiring and/or deciphering the colour of his eyes?

Oh no you don't, Cumberbatch.

Cumberbatch's performance as Assange has drawn praise from critics, yet his reaction to being told he nailed the accent by an Australian interviewer is the personification of true joy.
