It seems many people haven’t seen this before so here I’m posting the whole thing again. From Instyle 2008 April issue. I know it’s really old but it’s one of my fave pre-Sherlock era interivews.

Yeah, I got back from Cracow. I had the best two days of my life and I really don’t know where to start.

This photo is the only one I was able to take before my camera decided to turn off and die. That’s why it looks really bad.

My god I really don’t know where to start or what to say. There are so many emotions and thoughts and I still can’t believe it. I met so many wonderful people, I saw Little Favour [again] and I met Benedict. Me and few other people, we talked to him on the street not far from where he stayed. It was almost 11 pm. Why so late and why on the street? Because yes, he wanted to meet with fans earlier, but his bodyguards didn’t want him to meet us. He wasn’t happy about it, and we were really disappointed…

We talked with Benedict for the longest 15 minutes of my life. About Poland, about Cracow, Hamlet, about everything. He was so happy to finally be able to meet us, and believe me, when he laughs with you and looks you straight in the eye [as he did with me, for example] you’ll never forget this moment. And I’ll never forget.

The next day, we talked to one of the people from Benedict’s staff [at least I think so] and this person told us that he was delighted after our meeting. I really don’t know what more I can say. He’s the kindest, funniest, smartest and most charming person I’ve met, and no one will convince me otherwise.

This is too cute

Benedict Cumberbatch is turning gardening guru to review the floral displays at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

The Sherlock star is teaming up with his mother, actress Wanda Ventham, as part of the BBC’s coverage of the annual event.

It is not the first time the pair have appeared together - both Cumberbatch’s parents appeared in the Sherlock Christmas special.

They will appear as part of a series of interviews, called Mum and Me, that team up celebrity guests including Darcey Bussell and Julian Clary with their mothers to scrutinise the contenders at the show.
