Benedict Cumberbatch ‘Cynical’ About New Sherlock Holmes Show
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Drama, Prime Time, BBC, CBS, Gossip,
The British actor plays the leading character in the UK's Sherlock, and while he wishes those in the US show - which also tells the story of fictional detective Sherlock Holmes in a modern setting - the "best of luck," he did tell lead actor Jonny Lee Miller he would rather he didn't take part.
"It's very odd. I did say to Jonny, 'Well, I'd prefer you didn't do it but you've got a kid to feed, a nice house in Los Angeles and a wife to keep in good clothes.' When you get used to a certain standard of living and they waft a paycheck at you, what are you going to do? I think Jonny was like, 'Mate, I've got a f**king mountain to climb here, you've got nothing to fear.' I wish him the best of luck, but I'm a bit cynical about why they've chosen to do it and why they cast him," he said.

Jennie split from Twilight Saga star Peter Facinelli in March after 16 years together and she is said to be more confident than ever after first struggling to cope with the breakdown of her marriage. "She's happier than ever. She looks like the old Jennie! When you get sad, you either overeat or you become really healthy. Jennie's taking care of herself - she's taken control of her situation. Before, she used to be like, 'OK, let's cover me up.' And now she's more open-minded about having fun with her clothes. She's feeling good in her skin," a friend said.
