How Benedict Cumberbatch ALMOST danced in Ed Sheeran’s new video “Sing”
cumberbuddy:
cumbermon:
Sheeran pops down from stage for a chat. He tells me that Benedict Cumberbatch will be starring in the video for Sing, doing some hip hop dancing.
(…)
Nine days later I meet Sheeran again.
That new video, starring hotter-than-hot Cumberbatch, also speaks of Sheeran’s bigger, bolder ambition. Alas, it is not to be.
“Man, the Cumberbatch thing,” he sighs “He was locked on for it, I had dinner with him twice. His UK agent said yes. Met up with him at the Oscars, he was well up for it. But his US agent just pulled him out last minute.”
Because it might besmirch his serious actor/leading man status? Sheeran says no, but it sounds like he means yes. “He’s a class actor. He’s the next Daniel Day Lewis in my opinion. He’s gonna be one of the greats, and the US agent’s argument was it’s not right for him right now. And to be honest: I kind of agree. But I thought that was the genius of it. It would be quite funny to have such a good actor in quite a funny role, doing hip hop dancing.” |
