-
Keira Knightley: Whom is the most well spoken
actor, you or me?
-
(laughter)
Benedict Cumberbatch: Oh man...
-
Knightley: No, we both know it's you because
I'm --oh no we're both pretenders.
-
Cumberbatch: Well we both, yeah.
You do a little bit-
-
(heavier British accent)
-You do a little bit, right? You always punk
it up a bit, I'm sure?
-
Knightley: Yeah, but you don't?
-
Cumberbatch: My mum is like: "What are you
doing dropping your H's and D's like that?"
-
Cumberbatch: My mum does that.
-
Knightley: Does she?
-
Cumberbatch: So I'm a bit projecting.
-
Knightley: Oh no no, no, she does. My big
one when I was little was--
-
Cumberbatch: Oh there you go, "li-el."
Knightley: There you go, "li-el."
-
Knightley: And I used to go "showa" and my
mum used to always go: "Showa! Showa! What's
a "showa?!"
-
(laughter)
-
Knightley: (under breath) Shut up!
You know? Um, so, what does that mean?
-
Cumberbatch: I think we're sort of equal.
-
Knightley: Equally pretending to be posher
than we are. Ok.
-
Cumberbatch: Unlike these two people, because
you got, say, who looks better walking out of a lake
-
in a white shirt me or Colin Firth? (laughter)
-
Knightley: Wow. Well, you've got more skin
on show, so I think you win.
-
Cumberbatch: Ooh!
-
Knightley: Look at that! Sorry Colin.
-
Cumberbatch: You heard it here first Colin,
sorry.
-
Knightley: Yeah. Sorry.
-
Cumberbatch: Um, well I would say-
-
Knightley: And, and you've got that look I
was talking about before.
-
Cumberbatch: Is that the "blue steel look?"
-
Knightley: Yeah! Blue steel look! Yeah,
check that "blue steel look" out.
-
Cumberbatch: I think that was just, the
nerves in my face just kind of contracting-
-
Knightley: Oh just going: "I'm really cold."
(laughter)
-
Cumberbatch: (as nerves) "I'm constipated
with the cold!"
-
Cumberbatch: It's unfair. Also, it's him
really because he's in a lake, I'm in a pond.
-
Knightley: It's not as good, you're right.
-
Cumberbatch: Yeah, your turn.
-
Knightley: Oh, sorry, my turn. Um.
-
Knightley: The film is called "The Imitation
Game," but what's the best impression
-
you can do?
-
Cumberbatch: (as Alan Rickman) I couldn't
possibly tell you, unless you guess it, Harry
Potter.
-
Knightley: Oh, it's Alan Rickman, yeah. Nice one.
-
Cumberbatch: Oh, that took a little bit,
that was uncomfortable.
-
Knightley: No, sorry, it took me a little second
there but its good. No, it was good. It was
good.
-
Cumberbatch: (laughter) A little second.
Uh, my impression got worse and worse.
-
I'm well known for my "bromance" with
Tom Hiddleston, apparently.
-
Uh, but, he's a friend people. Get over it!
What is this thing with every man friend
-
has to be a "-mance".
-
Knightley: Like "bromance?"
-
Cumberbatch: Yeah! I got loads of bros I
have "-mances" with.
-
Knightley: There you go, say it loud and proud.
Cumberbatch: (laughs) Yeah!
-
(laughter)
-
Cumberbatch: I know you are bros with Tom
Hiddleston, but who is your best "celebrity
-
pal?" (laughter)
-
Knightley: My best celebrity pal? Isn't that
the most disgusting question? I mean, you know,
-
you're pretty famous.
Cumberbatch: I'll do.
-
Knightley: You're like, you're up there.
-
Cumberbatch: We don't see enough of
each other though.
-
Knightley: No, we don't, it's terrible.
Cumberbatch: That's got to be remedied.
-
Knightley: Yeah, it has. Yeah! You're always
bloody working!
-
Cumberbatch: You're always making wine
somewhere.
-
(laughter)
-
Knightley and Cumberbatch: Sorry.
-
Knightley: Uh, who's question is it now?
Cumberbatch: I think it's you.
-
Knightley: Oh! Can you do the Keira
Knightley pout?
-
(laughter)
-
Cumberbatch: Sorry, I'm smiling too much.
Knightley: No, that was it! No, that was it!
-
Cumberbatch: I can't do it!
-
Knightley: Wait a minute, I don't quiver my lips!
Cumberbatch: No, that's me trying not to laugh!
-
(laughter)
-
Cumberbatch: I can't do it!
Knightley: The answer is no. No, he can't.
-
Because it's mine. (laughs)
-
Cumberbatch: Ok, I just tried it without you
looking. Ok, according to IMDB, you are a
-
West Ham fan, that's a good "tongue warmer."
Knightley: A what?
-
Cumberbatch: Tongue twister, mouth warmer
something, West Ham fan.
-
Knightley: Yeah.
Cumberbatch: And if so, what do you think of
-
Sam
(mispronounced)
Ala-di-ch-y's long ball tactics?
-
Knightley: Allardyce.
Cumberbatch: Allardyce, sorry!
-
Knightley: What do I think about his long
ball tactics? It's working this season.
-
Cumberbatch: Isn't it?
Knightley: We're doing very well. Ha-ha.
-
Cumberbatch: I don't know, I pretended
to know...
-
Knightley: (laughs) Um, right, wait a minute.
You are -you are officially Hollywood's best
-
photo-bomber. I thought that said
"photographer", and I didn't know you
-
took photos. But it's not so we'll
--can you give me some tips-
-
Cumberbatch: That would be really weird,
I'm Hollywood's officially best photographer.
-
Knightley: Uh, can you give me some tips, and
who should I target?
-
Cumberbatch: Yeah, don't wear heels because
that would make for an awkward landing.
-
Knightley: Yes.
-
Cumberbatch: Um, and, um, any group of
rockers standing in a line.
-
Knightley: Rockers?
-
Cumberbatch: Rockers.
-
Knightley: Oh I know lots of them, great, so
I'll just what, jump up behind them?
-
Cumberbatch: Just me.
-
Knightley: Just you? Shall I do that tonight?
Oh, but I'm wearing heels.
-
Cumberbatch: Well, take them off for a bit
and just go: "Whee!"
-
Knightley: What run around?
Cumberbatch: Yeah, just always get a good
-
angel, on. You know? Get a run up as well.
-
Knightley: Thanks.
-
Cumberbatch: What was the most surreal
moment you had making Star Wars Episode 1?
-
Knightley: Uh, god I was 12. So I don't really
remember it. I do remember falling off the
-
back of a golf buggy in front of Ewan Mcgregor.
I don't know if that was surreal, it was just embarrassing.
-
Cumberbatch: Question answered, I'd say people.
-
Knightley: Um, oh wait a minute. According
to a recent online video, you can't pronounce
-
penguins properly? Is that true?
-
Cumberbatch: Yeah, I've heard about this.
Penguins.
-
Knightley: What's that?
Cumberbatch: Penguins.
-
Knightley: You're saying it right.
Cumberbatch: Penguins.
-
Cumberbatch: Was I putting a "w" in
or something?
-
Interviewer: We actually have the video.
Cumberbatch: Oh, can I have a look?
-
Because I don't --I heard this was big
news last week.
-
Knightley: (laughs) You were huge news
last week.
-
Cumberbatch: Yeah, breaking story everybody.
Interviewer: Let's see.
-
Cumberbatch: Important stuff, indeed. Penguin.
Knightley: Penguin.
-
Video of Cumberbatch: "Peng-wings." Crusted
"peng-wings."
-
Knightley: "Peng-wings." You're saying "peng-wings!"
-
Video of Cumberbatch: So why are these
woodlands so attractive to "peng-wings?"
-
Knightley: (laughs) "Peng-wings."
-
Cumberbatch: "Peng-wings" I put a "w" in there.
That's awful.
-
Knightley: That's an "l", "peng-lings?"
-
Cumberbatch: "Peng-lings" did that sound like
a "ling."
-
Knightley: Yeah, that sounded like a "ling."
-
Cumberbatch: I had a "wing" in there. "Peng-wings."
-
Knightley: So, does that mean that my
pronunciation of penguins is better than
-
yours going back to that previous question.
-
Cumberbatch: Say it again?
-
Knightley: Penguins.
-
Cumberbatch: Penguins.
(Knightley laughs)
-
Cumberbatch: Did I get it right again?
-
Knightley: No, you got it right. But you
really did get it wrong about 3 times in that.
You said "Peng-wins. Peng-lins."
-
Cumberbatch: Well it's a good job the people
of the world decided to find that out now,
-
because this November there's another film
coming out called "The Penguins of Madagascar"
-
which I'm going to have to say.
