Rather than posting messages to Benedict on Tumblr which he is unlikely to read I think fans should write to him at
Conway van Gelder Grant Ltd
Third floor

There is far more chance of him reading fan letters handed over to him by Conway van…

The Cold War heats up for Benedict
Benedict Cumberbatch likes his suit.
It’s a natty, beige three-piece, which is offset with a white shirt and crisp blue tie. It not his own, however. It belongs to his character, and therefore to the prop department, but such is his sartorial interest, he knows its lineage. “It is Timothy Everest, on Elder Street in Shoreditch,” he begins, running his finger along the lapel. “It’s a world-famous, bespoke tailor that isn’t on Savile Row. My character is one of the sharper dressers in the film.”
The film in which he is so sharply dressed is Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, the first-ever big-screen adaptation of John le Carré’s most famous novel. It is a Cold War thriller brimming with illustrious talent – Gary Oldman as the iconic spy George Smiley is joined by the likes of John Hurt, Kathy Burke, Colin Firth and Toby Jones – with Cumberbatch standing alongside Tom Hardy and Stephen Graham as one of the movie’s Young Turks.
The 35-year-old actor became a household name on the back of his leading performance in last year’s Sherlock for the BBC, and he’s made the most of his moment, securing parts in Steven Spielberg’s forthcoming adaptation of Michael Morpurgo’s novel War Horse, Peter Jackson’s two-part rendition of The Hobbit, and in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
“Tinker, Tailor was a creative offer before it was a financial one,” he says with a smile, “because they wanted famous people in all the roles and Sherlock hadn’t come out. Once that was out, it suddenly became a commercial offer as well.”
The le Carré piece opens in cinemas next week, Cumberbatch taking on the role of Peter Guillam, a member of the Intelligence Service who Smiley takes under his wing as he bids to unearth a mole buried deep within British ranks. He’s an important character, who shares much screen time with Oldman’s Smiley, and the actor is grateful for the opportunity.
It almost wasn’t so. Director Tomas Alfredson, who made his international breakthrough with 2008’s vampire movie Let The Right One In, identified Cumberbatch early on, although the actor was preparing and previewing a forthcoming play, Terrence Rattigan’s neglected After The Dance, for the National Theatre.
“I’d heard that the director wanted to meet,” he says, temporarily encamped inside a trailer parked on set at a disused Army barracks in Mill Hill, North London, “but I said that because of the theatre previews I would not have time to read the script. Everyone said that was fine and that they’d get a message to him.”
Cumberbatch arrived at the office of Working Title, the British film producers funding the project. Alfredson greeted him warmly. “Then the first thing that Tomas said to me was: ‘What did you think of the script?’ I told him I hadn’t read it and he just looked at me, mouth agape: ‘You, you, you haven’t read the script?’ I felt awful. He was sat at this glass table at the top floor of these new offices, and there’s this massive mural by Gilbert & George on the wall, a status bit of artwork, with its really bright colours showing the modern social malaise. It was all a little odd.” Fortunately, Cumberbatch charmed his director, went away, read the script, and also wrote Alfredson an email explaining why “the meeting had been a real f*** up”.
Guillam proves one of the story’s less opaque characters. “Guillam has a very clear morality,” says Cumberbatch. “He sees what he is fighting for as the right and good cause and, in a way, he wants to be part of something heroic, like the Hot War, where the lines were very clearly delineated and undivided.”

Ross: I think you’ve got some Cumberbitches here this evening.
Benedict: Oh, don’t be rude.
Ross: That’s what they call themselves, on the internet.
Benedict: I know, I know, and they do.
Ross: They’ve very protective of you, very loyal.
Benedict: They’re really loyal.
His response to the term “Cumberbitches” is just classic. And I really don’t like that name btw.
