The Telegraph has released a new interview with Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch, who had interesting things to say about the rumored relationship between show characters Holmes and Watson.
Simply put, he said there’s nothing romantic between the two:
As the latest series got under way last night, Cumberbatch said they have been forced to deal with constant speculation on whether the characters are lovers.
“Much as Sherlock adores John, and he’s fond of him, there’s no love, there’s nothing sexual – all the jokes aside,” he said.
“The problem is, [the jokes] fuel the fantasy of the few into flames for the many. People presume that’s what it is, but it’s not.” The actor, 35, said there was a huge amount of “weird fan fiction” on the internet, where people “write stories and do manga cartoons of what they think you get up to behind closed doors. Some of it’s funny. Some of it’s full-on sex.”
Cumberbatch’s thoughts on the matter aside, do YOU think there’s anything between Holmes and Watson? Read more over on The Telegraph.
