@chooseyourpoison5105 7 жыл бұрын

GeaiHerbe LOL, yes Benedict does such epic photobombs. Between his photobombs at the Golden Globes, the Oscars, Ellen DeGeneres and U2, he is officially king of the photobombers, simply because he does it with such aplomb and that cheeky grin of his. In fact I think they should rename it Cumberbombing XD

The wax figure is undoubtedly beautiful, but it still isn't Benedict. I don't know why, but there's something off about the wax figure that I just can't put my finger on. I spend an inordinate amount of time looking at Benedict's face, so I kind of have it committed to memory. Objectively, based on the pictures, they got it all right. The hair, the lips, the eyes, the face in general--everything is spot on. But when I look at the pictures longer, I feel that something is not quite right, and I don't know why. Maybe it's the fact that the wax figure's eyes are so bland and lifeless, whereas Benedict's eyes are so expressive and full of life... It really creeps me out. Maybe this just proves that perfection can never be fully captured.

Amazing, such beautiful and meticulous artwork that goes into these wax figures, such breathtaking talent! :D One thing I love about great actors is seeing how they can play such a diverse range of roles, and you see how they are in real life. I know I was introduced to Benedict Cumberbatch in a mostly serious role as Sherlock Holmes, and then I saw him in other serious roles like Khan or Smaug, and the mysterious Doctor Strange (though he can be pretty funny too XD). And then I see him in real life where he seems like such a laid back guy, and so sweet and friendly, I just love it. :) I think of his serious roles and then I see him smile at 0:37, and it makes me smile to see his face light up with his smile, it's so nice. :)
