Benedict suddenly lives on the Isle of Wight? Since when?

I read he bought a house there. I suppose it might be a second home. He probably will not move away from London but share his time between the places?

He certainly wouldn't be the first celebrity to own more than one home. And the Isle would be a perfect place for him to get away from it all.

I read somewhere a little while ago that he bought a house on IoW but that he'd be 'nesting' in London...

rebeccaholmes · July 2, 2015 2:44 pm

Yeah. Word was that he purchased a house on the Isle. But, it's so obvious that Benedict will never see himself out of London completely, he loves the place too much!

Since it isn't a photo I'll post this here. Short audio interview with Ben and his dad at Wimbledon.

I usually don't watch Tennis, but I find finals exciting. I'm rooting for Roger Federer, not that I don't like Djokovic but I loathe his "coach". You see I'm very professional here.

EDIT: they haven't even started yet and I've already seen Ben in the Royal Box. Good start!

Ben congratulates Novak Djokovic to his win. How cool is that.

This might be of interest to some on this board - a map of Benedict's London...

http://accordingtobenedict.com/various/the-london-according-to-benedict-map/

It's interactive so just click/tap on the icons on the map to get to the Benedict reference.

I can't go t Hamlet but I will be taking notes so that when I visit London again (currently scheduled to be sometime in 2017) I will see if I can't get to a few spots that he recommended - they all sound quite lovely.

Interesting find, Val. Definitely fan tourism, if that's the correct term, where you pay pilgrimage to locations where famous scenes were filmed.

This Is The Phantom Lady · July 16, 2015 3:42 pm

Very interesting!

I see I chose a hostel with a good location, Sherlockian vise! I have an entire 'Sherlock' day planned for sightseeing that stuff.

Thanks for sharing!

Happy Birthday to Benedict, may he live long and prosper

tonnaree · July 18, 2015 2:32 pm

You're just a tad early sweetie, but it's all good.

Or is it the 19th where you are already! I get so confused with time zones.

This Is The Phantom Lady · July 18, 2015 11:09 pm

Happy Birthday Ben!

Hope he's having a great day! If I ever get some sleep I'll have a Benedict marathon when I wake.

See, I always get confused!

Happy birthday, Ben! May you and your family have a lovely day!

39 Times Benedict Cumberbatch Completely Broke The Internet
In honour of his 39th birthday.

If I were allowed to chose just one, I would chose No.28
Honestly if a voice could impregnate women, we all would have a immediate problem.

Lol, that is awesome! And am almost embarrased to say that I was familiar with the great majority of those...
