CUMBERMANIA While he’s grateful for his fans’ support since the phenomenal success of Sherlock, Benedict is also very forthright about some of the more intrusive aspects of Cumbermania. “There’s some obsessive behaviour, which is a bit worrying – for them, not me,” Benedict says, dryly. “It is a strange thing to deal with. I am very wary of people recognising me. “What really p***** me off is people trying to surreptitiously take a photo on their phone. That f**** me off. It’s invasive, cowardly and pathetic. Why do you need that proof? “If you really want a photograph, ask me. People say: ‘Ooh, they were probably shy.’ Well don’t take a photograph, then. That’s a cheat’s way out.”
