Interview with Benedict Cumberbatch
The main hero of Sherlock Holmes in the British TV series "Sherlock" Benedict Cumberbatch during the premiere of "War Horse" in London gave an interview, in which he spoke about his participation in "Star Trek 2" and the third season of "Sherlock."
- What do you feel being in the cast of "Star Trek 2"? Who do you have to play, and what you think about why JJ Abrams chose you?
"I have a lawyer standing behind my back and whispered that I should not say anything (laughs). I'm very, very excited and extremely flattered. I'm extremely happy, but actually, I'm here not to talk about it. But in the near future I will certainly do that. I have in my head all the time spinning the idea that it happened!”
- How do you feel, being in the spotlight?
"Oh, it turns your head, because all this attention is very flattering. It is important to remember that regardless of the scale of the current or proposed work, it is - just a job. And you have to do it well, while not allowing it to swallow you as a whole. I know my answer sounds in English soberly. Do not get me wrong - I soared up to the ceiling with joy whenever I find out that successfully passed the audition and got an interesting offer. You get carried away when you get good news. You can only deal with each new proposal as they come".
"I have worked for 10 years. I started quite late, when I was almost thirty, compared with the huge number of people who were much younger, and that far ahead. I would not call it a natural forward motion. I feel very fortunate and happy. It happened gradually. And then I found myself quite unexpectedly, almost in the midst of events that promises me a lot of interesting, is not it? mingle in society and to preserve aspects of private life - it's fun to play. This will require glasses and hats, the desire to remain unobserved by any means and ability to use the techniques of disguise Inspector Clouseau. I had a great hang out, so I have the opportunity to appear in science fiction films, to be in the company of wonderful people and participate in the creation of incredible scenarios. I'm really happy. "
- Will you return in the third season of "Sherlock"?
"You see, it is problematic, given the ending of last episode of the second season. By the way, there is another lawyer who urges me to remain silent. I have just one thing - to tease you."
