>>979 They do think most of us are like a certain subsect of their fandom that will believe anything and everything they say or imply. Even the media was calling those pictures staged. Only the mags that were getting the exclusive deals were fawning.

>>983 The whole interview was a clear setup to save TH's image and while it could have helped, that "unsolicited" bit was just bullshit. Then again Cumberbatch does these unsolicited shots himself so he's the last person to call out Tom over that.

The fans on tumblr are forgiving him already and drooling over him in leather. I'm curious what the CB crowd thinks but I don't have the stomach for all that verandah talk right now. They didn't seem to like the Gucci shoot very much.
