Benedict Cumberbatch: ELLE MAN OF THE WEEK

When we marry him, this outfit will be ‘lost’

This week the trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness was released, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as an as-yet-unspecified-(but-probably-uber-villain-Khan)-baddie, and got us a bit flustered. 

Oh, Benedict. Ben. Benny. Cumbers. Where did you come from? You were just a Proper Actor doing serious things on stage, and playing admirable but basically non-sexy types like Professor Stephen Hawking and Vincent Van Gogh on TV.

And then: bam. Sherlock. Only you could make literally terrifying intellect and absolutely zero emotional warmth seem alluring. Suddenly, we noticed what had been right there all along. Specifically: you’re really hot.

Hollywood’s noticed too, now. But don’t forget us, Benedict. The women of Britain are waiting for you.
 
Face: Is it devastatingly gorgeous, or a bit wonky? Perhaps it’s BOTH.
 
Body: A mystery. We would selflessly volunteer to investigate.
 
Eyes: Pale. Mesmerising.
 
Personality: Clever.
 
Name: Worth lots of Scrabble points.
 
Attainability: Yours for the taking.

Does he slightly remind anyone else of a Ken doll?

Thinking deep thoughts, because he’s well clever
