Hot Guys in Doublets: Benedict Cumberbatch

Benedict Cumberbatch?

Like the BBC's Sherlock Holmes?

He doesn't wear a doublet. (See below for proof)

and then that one time he wore that mock turtle neck with some sort of insignia

(who's excited for this movie to come out?)

NOT A DOUBLET

No doublet in that period film

(mustaches don't count as doublets)

And even in that period television series.

No doublet.

(That would be called a tuxedo.)

SO THEN, WHY?!?!

Because he's in the Sharp Dressed Man video.

What? No he's not!

YES, HE IS.

(0:13)

That's him with Ioan Gruffudd

(Who happened to be my first Hot Guys in Doublet HERE)

not in Horatio Hornblower like I thought at first

(I know, silly Shelly)

but in 

AMAZING GRACE.

I loved that movie the first time I saw it

but neither Ioan or Benedict's names meant much to me back then.

Here they are in Amazing Grace

But Shelly, neither one of them are wearing a doublet

Well....

I cheat.

I count cravats.

Does anyone have a problem with that?

Plus, look at this wig and tights they made the man wear.

That's gotta get him on the list somewhere.

(Hee-hee-hee)

Here he is when they just makes his real hair look like a wig.

But he's still a good lookin' fella.

He's a talent actor and getting a lot of work right now.

He has four films coming out this year.

A whole batch.

You could say a

Cumber-Batch.

Yeah, yeah.

You knew I was silly when you started reading.
