With the incredible number of fans imagining Benedict Cumberbatch's 'Sherlock' sex scene, his interview with Elle UK will no doubt make every fan fiction writers' day.
While the 'Imitation Game' star believes that the brilliant detective stays "asexual for a purpose," he does insist that if his character were to "lose control" and romance a girl, then it would be "explosive."
Despite having only one five-second sex scene (in the BBC2 miniseries 'Parade's End') throughout his career, the 27-year-old British actor has become "the star turn in one-million-plus filthy fan fiction fantasies." This is mostly likely because of his sudden fame after appearing as the lead in the modernized version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's celebrated crime series.
Since Sherlock Holmes has always been seen as a non-sexual, overly calculating sociopath, Elle UK speculated that he would probably "lack enthusiasm" during intercourse and would most probably find it "distasteful."
Cumberbatch disagrees. He thinks the detective would be great as a sexual partner. He then proceeded to describe the would-be encounter in vivid detail, occasionally throwing in words like "shave" "porn," and "devastating." Read the entire transcript here.
How would Benedict Cumberbatch's 'Sherlock' sex scene be like? The actor thinks it would be an awesome experience for his partner.
He also insists that despite not being interested in the act, he would still have the skills to seduce a woman. 'The Hobbit' star has faith in his character because, "come on, he seduced Janine."
"So in sex, would he lose control? I think to have really good sex he would probably have to," he shared.
The 'Star Trek' actor also teased fans about a possible intimate scene with his nemesis Irene Adler after he rescued her from a beheading. He also thinks the kiss with Molly was a "great" kiss but definitely wouldn't want Sherlock to "shag" her.
Do you think Benedict Cumberbatch's 'Sherlock' sex scene ever happen? Fans may dream but the '12 Years A Slave' actor is pretty sure it won't. According to the British heartthrob, "It's not that kind of a programme, is it?"
