He doesn't have that 'look' about him. His appeal is in his uniqueness and his commanding presence. It allows him to stand out from the crowd and is very beautiful. He is very good looking but in a different way from 'the norm'.

Absolutely. To me he is good looking in a 'you-might-wanna-take-a-second-look' sort of way. I personally had to take a second look, because at first sight I just thought 'okay, why are they all so crazy about him?'. But the moment I started watching Sherlock with real interest - and I'm not talking about real interest in Benedict, but real interest in the show - I had to admit quite soon: there is something about this guy. And this something goes way beyond his 'look'.

He does, you can sometimes catch it in interviews. I find it really sweet, btw.

edit: If you pay close attention, you'll catch it here:

Oh! I'm just watching Pink right now where they're talking about Sherlock finding the suitcase.

Where he says how the killer took the suitcase, first big mistake, I swear I saw a lisp there! It's adorable!

Yes, it's very minute, but you can tell.

If it's any "consolation", all my celebrity crushes are older than me too

I'll be 30 next month, and Benedict is 37, Misha Collins 38, both are not much older than me, but then there is John Cusack (47), Alan Rickman (67) and... Paul McCartney, 71!

There's nothing wrong with that

Can I join the club?
I'm a bit over 30, and instead of falling like some people for the hot young starlets, there's Ben, Martin, David Tennant, John Barrowman, Aidan Turner, Downey Jr., Armitage... etc etc... sure, some in their 30's too, but many older! It's true they do get better with age!!

Indeed!!!!!!

Yes, the "thpider" is quite famous!

Someone asked for more Benny, right? Here it goes... and I can basically hear his lisp when I look at him!

The Harpers Bazaar interview is one of my favorite.

Thpider? Like when he's describing Moriarty at the trial?

I had seen the "green shirt" picture (oh, green looks amazing on him! He should wear green more often )

But I hadn't seen this one:

BRB, dying...

Am I the only one who thinks that his head looks photoshopped onto that body? The shadow on his face looks unnatural because the same shadow doesn't fall on the neck of the jumper.

My first thought, too, sj4iy. I think you are right.
