"I find a hot wet meal is easy to digest" - Benedict Cumberbatch 2017
Lmao Ben

[@CensuradaPorBoleta]

Yes Michael, we've all dreamt with Benedict Cumberbatch

[@evaevaevaaaaaaaaaaaeva]

It’s really hard to keep a straight face when Benedict is laughing, his laugh is really really contagious 🤭

[@prufrockj.a8532]

It's a genuine shame we don't have more interviews with Benedict and Michael. They seem like they really bonded during filming.

[@popskiptea8707]

I think it’s fair to say, we’ve all had dreams of Benedict and meeting him in the face.

[@Maxblind20]

Looks like a smaller Javier Bardem. What are the odds lol

[@UKLeonie]

Maxblind20 Lmao now I can't unsee that

[@IRiboty]

So true!

[@JalissaQueen]

He does.

[@Summerwilder1063]

Maxblind20 that's not Javier bardem? 😮

[@myaalexandria2575]

🤣true

[@WikaJDMfan]

2:42 🤣🤣🤣 I can't

[@somethingsinlife5600]

This movie better have the Tesla demonstration scene and it better be majestic and magical.

[@pale_blue_ruby]

It hardly gave him any of the credit he deserved.

[@smeech5177]

Ruby Reef wait really....😓 that’s all I needed to know. Did they show Edison in a somewhat bad light in any manner?????????

[@pale_blue_ruby]

@@smeech5177 they showed him as a victim to some extent. But thats ACTUALLY accurate. Tesla's biography does not portray him horribly either. But they were unfair to TESLA

[@smeech5177]

Ruby Reef yeah I understand that.🤔 I guess I meant bad light in terms of him not having any film time at all. Or somehow portrayed him in an untrue manner. But I totally get what you’re saying...I’m intrigued now. Alright appreciate it tho my friend🙌🏾. Stay well!

[@Vanxerd]

Tesla doesn't get to talk at all?

[@carameldrops08]

Tesla always gets shunned smh

[@PrattBandd]

As usual

[@nefwaenre]

Michael laughing is everything to me!!
Ehm, can you describe your dreams, please Mike? 😁
Did you meat him in the face??

[@SirRichieSan]

The director reminds me of Negan

[@alex0589]

Javier and Jeffrey are not the same person aha. he does have a nose like Javier. Uncanny

[@charlotted1321]

benedict's lisp is so strong in this XD so cute

[@noellesteven3619]

When, I didn't hear it

[@leadspot]

look out Doctor Strange !! general Zod is gonna punch you !!

[@livienapardede]

I really wonder when this movie is going to be released in the cinema, because I'm really interested in the plot! And why does Benedict have such an catchy laugh xD Every time I hear him laughing, I can't stop laughing 😂

[@good2btheking]

WHAT THE FUCK DUDE!!! You guys cut out NIKOLA TESLA (Nicholas Hoult). Thats pathetic.

[@annemayseyfried8907]

Benedict reminds me of Thomas Gibson of 'Criminal Minds' w/a hint of Christopher Walken..

[@milazhely]

LoL 0:05 XD

[@shinkuevangeline]

mila zhely the "huuuuk" sound?

[@l.c.136]

Inggaland

[@AsYouWishMama]

L. Cubias ...and mocked by the bloke who can't pronounce penguin.

[@vanessasimon1345]

Meet him in the face, LOL

[@michaeljohn1978]

Maybe Michael Shannon has just heard England football fans singing 'In-ger-land, In-ger-land, In-ger-land' and just decided to use it. Not sure Benedict's ever been to a football match. Polo, perhaps?

[@mayurisinha2844]

Why did they laugh in the beginning ? I don't understand. Someone please tell

[@Cy55borg]

Because Benedict spoke of a "light soup" - a meal that's easy to digest, as he later said. But "light" can also be understood as in "lamplight", so there's a reference to this film about electric current ("The Current War") and the boys giggled about the idea of a "lamplight-soup" :-))

[@TyrusAudios]

2:56 has me dead

[@rebia5542]

I'm sad that benedict cumberbatch is playing Edison 😭😭 i strongly dislike Edison

[@kindabatooni9314]

I mean who didn’t dream of meeting Benedict 😂 I am really curious about that dream though.

[@JoaoPiresjlrpires]

Tesla did not talk donno why.... he s the head of everything... other are just "actors"..... anyway history knows who was the BEST.

[@monalona29]

Guys we are perpetuating the lie that all white men look like Benedict by putting him in all these bio pics. No other human looks like him, why is he always cast in bio pics?

[@annemayseyfried8907]

estephao See my comments below. ;)

[@annemayseyfried8907]

estephao Or above. :)

[@kindabatooni9314]

He easily transforms his mannerisms. He’s a chameleon.

[@teeniebeenie8774]

their voices craggy and fried from cigs.....sad

[@manualwal7968]
