HAPPY (now) 38TH BIRTHDAY BENEDICT!!!

Happy birthday Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch! 
you are a wonderful and humble human being and you inspire me to be a better person  


Here have this cute baby photograph

 Benedict when asked what he wants for his birthday: 

“Oh hell erm, just to be together with friends and family. I don’t really want for anything in general, wanting is a weird thing, and er, I want the world to want less and have what it needs rather than what it wants. So erm, I don’t make birthday wishes or I do but for other people, that’s not because I’m…a saint, it’s just because genuinely the only thing I need on my birthday is to be with the ones I love, my closest and dearest friends and family.”

(more will come. i am planning on drawing something  )

  

I wish he could see this.
here's last year's celebration

How very unlike Smaug!

the "what do you want for your birthday"-thing? yes, indeed  Smaug is like Ariel from little mermaid.. (listen to the text)

the birthday portrait for this year *drums...*

Excellent as always Norc.  

I dont normally celebrate celebrity birthdays but then occurred to me it was an excuse for a buckie     then after a few it occurred to me it must be a celebrities birthday every day,   and then it occurred to me that there was probably quite a few shared birthdays too, meaning double and treble celebrations  
I think I like celebrating celeb birthdays      

 drinking beer too...  

btw, i think that long haired moose from supernatural also has his birthday today, but let's not ruin the Bandersnatch Cumbercatch thread D: 

thanks petty, it's not perfect but yeah, i am quite pleased with it ^^

this one is from last year but i had to make it a card-thing to post on tumblr ^^

I used to be a sinner. Then I discovered Benedict Cumberbatch.

what do you mean by that 

 happy B day Cumbersquatch. love those drawings too.  

Damn, those drawings are great, Norc. And a belated happy birthday to Benedict (I'd drink to his health, but unfortunately I'm too hung over  )

thanx Ringo ^^ drink lots of water

While we walked the block and a half to school I told Hasia that Nora said it was Benedict's birthday on the same day as hers. She stopped and looked at me a few seconds and then the biggest smile. She thinks he is an awesome actor and very kind. We had to take her back to the doctor who examined her and said she had swollen glands. So a fortune for the amoxillan, but who cares. She did not seem to be getting better, and this morning, a day off work for me, she vomited and vomited and now she is lying calmly on her bed reading some of the awesome Tim Tin books she was given for her birthday. I think she is on the mend now.

Glad to hear she's getting better, Leelee

omg! I just realized i'm gonna be away on his birthday this year, man that sux D:

II think he looks a lot like his mum, he does seem such a nice guy in real life, makes you notice it more when he gets angry   And if that anger is in your defence it can be quite sexy  

hehehe i agree on all points

I'll have to improvise since i missed his birthday yestersay. I found this in the paper :

Codebreaking drama The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, is to receive its European premiere at this year's BFI London Film Festival.

The film sees the Sherlock actor star as Alan Turing - the British computing pioneer who cracked the German Enigma codes during World War II.

Keira Knightley also stars as Turing's close friend and fellow code-breaker Joan Clarke.

The film will open the festival on 8 October at the Odeon Leicester Square.

Cumberbatch, Knightley and director Morten Tyldum are expected to attend the premiere, with simultaneous screenings also taking place at cinemas across the UK.

The Imitation Game follows the race against time as Turing and his team at the top-secret codebreaking centre at Bletchley Park attempt to decipher German naval messages and help end the war.

Matthew Goode, Mark Strong, Rory Kinnear and Charles Dance also star.

Festival director Clare Stewart said the film featured "extraordinary performances".- BBC

Looooooking forward !!!!!!!!! Turing is such an interesting person

Yeah shame he was treated so appallingly though after all he did.   

Shame he was treated so appallingly at all. I found the Turing pardon to be repulsive in that it wasn't a blanket pardon. It actually implicitly reaffirmed that the government's treatment of all the other homosexual men who were not genius mathematicians and code-breakers was perfectly just.

Probably in case anyone is still alive who could then sue them.

If any of the other people who were convicted are still alive, that makes it even worse.
