Being an Aussie, I had never heard of Benedict before Sherlock.
I watched the first series when it aired here last year and instantly thought 'what a little hottie'. He was so interesting, I am a sucker for blue eyes and a sucker for British accents. Having both was too much for me!
Now I am no teenager, in fact I have 2 grandsons! So I'm not into the 'ohh.. ahhh' stuff I read around tumblr & Twitter etc.
But having just moved into a new flat on my own, I had to find something to do with this mega amount of downloads I had signed up for with the internet (it was the cheaper way to go!)
So I started re-watching Sherlock & then searched for other things he had been in.

So far I have watched :
- The Last Enemy - enjoyed this
- Stuart : a life backwards - loved thi
- Third Star - brilliant
- Small Island - it was ok
- Inseparable (short & sweet) - ok, but looks predictable
- Hawking - excellent
- Forty Something - very young here. Was ok I guess.

I'm not really interested in seeing War Horse. Yes, he has a part in it but it's not really my sort of movie.

I think now I will take note of interviews etc of his. He really seems to be 2 people, maybe 3. He certainly can act for me to say that!
He seems to have 'phases'. Looking at his pics at events of late, he seems to be doing the 'rough but dapper' image where as earlier pics show him as 'ever the gentleman'. I assume the latest 'look' is somehow influenced by his 'single' tag.
he's enjoying himself of late! But I fear he is starting to 'wear down' slightly.
I do hope he doesn't become (similar to his alter ego) "too famous".
