Benedict Cumberbatch The Hobbit Twitter Chat
3 Reasons to Fall in Love With Benedict All Over Again
Time to bust out those oxygen tanks, because you're about to become a Benedict Cumberbatch fangirl all over again. To promote The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (out Dec. 13! squeal!), Benny took to Twitter last night for a little Q&A with his Cumbercollective.
In the off chance that you may have missed this epic Twitter chat with the dragon himself, gather 'round for the top three moments from last night's #AskSmaug sesh. If you feel like hyperventilating, take a deep breath, then keep calm and Cumberbatch on.
He's Delicious
This red velvet Cumbercake deserves to accompany Benedict on the red carpet.

The delectable treat caught Ben's eye and his response was so perfectly . . . English.
An astonishing addition to the edible collection. One day, I will have to eat myself.

His Bromance With Martin Freeman
Benedict is now sharing the big screen with his Sherlock costar Martin Freeman, who plays the lead role of Bilbo Baggins.
Martin, as Benedict explains, would completely smoke Smaug in sass-off.

Who would win in a sass-off?
Smaug or Martin?
....can dragons give the middle claw?

Martin, obviously. Smaug gets pretty clumsy in a rage until he flies. Then, I suppose he might have time to give the birdy.

His parting gift was telling the Internet to "Live Long and Prosper." Vulcan salutes up, everyone.
