Someone asked him if he has ever had trouble shaking off characters after a job and he said he’d actually seen a shrink just to make sure he’s alright and that it’s just not him - and that there should be more open discussion about mental health.

And of course he’s right about the latter.

In case anyone’s worried, he also said that the shrink told him he he’s definitely fine. He described how he gets out of character after a role and it was beautiful, he has a very healthy and positive mental state. But yes of course, as he said, it’s good to be open about things like this and invite more discussion. Because there is never anything wrong with wanting to see someone, for whatever reason. 

Fuck this is beautiful. He really is fuckin lovely.

If that wasn’t enough, here’s a quote from today a girl that Cumberbum just linked to on Twitter, from her Facebook.

“He’s a nature man and would head for the hills to enjoy the landscape and the serenity of trees.. And if he was having a bad hair day, someone notices, he says he doesn’t give a fuck, he could go out without shaving his face or leaving his filthy hair, or not brushing his teeth, he says life isn’t about make up… It’s about going out and experiencing and enjoying our nature.. Awesome words Benedict Cumberbatch.”

Gorgeous words. This is the Benedict i adore.
