Central London, as it may seem, is not such a safe place. At any time you can attack the robbers, from which no one is immune. Recently on the streets of London on a courier was attacked by a gang of robbers, from which the employee of a delivery service saved himself Benedict Cumberbatch! It turns out, is not just a movie actor saving humanity from villains, but in real life I am not afraid to stand up for the person even if he is attacked not a villain.
At the time of the incident, Benedict was riding in a taxi on the street of Marylebone high street with his wife Sophie hunter. Then they saw that the cyclist hit four people. According to eyewitnesses, the actor didn’t hesitate and immediately ran out of the taxi shouting “Leave him alone!” By the way, all happened near Baker street, 221b — the address of the London home of Sherlock Holmes.
“It all looked a bit surreal. Sherlock Holmes, fend off four attackers around the corner from Baker street. They tried to hit him, but he defended himself and pushed them. He was not injured. I think they learned that it was Benedict, and ran away. Then the actor helped the victim of robbers to climb and asked him how he feels. And when he replied that right, Benedict just hugged him. Don’t know what would have happened to this guy, if not for Benedict. He’s a real superhero!” — said the taxi driver.
The series “Sherlock” actor is very important, so he did not share the desire of his colleague Martin Freeman, who played Watson, to stop shooting in the picture. Because of the hype around the continuation of the series, Martin decided not to return to the set.
“It all sounds pretty pathetic, if elevated expectations of fans — is all that’s needed to not want to act on. To be part of such a show is still something to be a mini-Beatles. Yes, some people’s expectations are not so funny. But this is not the sort of thing where you should enjoy,” said Benedict Cumberbatch in an interview with The Daily Telegraph.
Despite the fact that Sherlock and Watson in the series close enough in the life of the actors playing these roles, did not close. “They are professional and very polite to each other. But the heat that you expect to see them after six years of shooting between them,” said a source to the newspaper The Sun.
Martin himself has managed to turn its attention to other meaningful projects, and the shooting of “Sherlock” has long ceased to bring him pleasure. The series itself is not closed, but only suspended indefinitely. Will continue to work on it, when the team will allocate time for it. Freeman certainly part of the team’s not going to be and believes that it can and does the fifth season should not be removed? Earlier in an interview with Heart, the actor said his point of view.
“I always thought that doing something you need only as long as all involved want to do it – in other words, until the group wants to stay together, you stay together. So I don’t know, I’m just one member of the group. But again to gather all of us together need a lot, it’s true. And I believe in brevity and economy. What’s good for the Beatles – good for me. Seven years to ponapisyvali together hits – and to say goodbye”.
As well as the legendary Beatles, the team has been working together for 7 years. Maybe it is because not a protracted existence, the group has become a true legend, and therefore the project should not continue.
