For Sale – One Performing Monkey

benedicts-third-testicle:

Goes by the name Benedict Cumberbatch  

To the highest bidder, for the most publicity, or for damage
control (pat on the head and a cookie?), he will: 

  • Change his religious affliction

  • Change his political views

  • Wear a T-Shirt declaring himself anything you’d
    like

  • Sexuality. 
    Oh he’s straight – don’t you forget it. 
    Speaking of which:

  • Sell you details of his personal life

  • Rumour monger a girlfriend

  • Set up pap-pics with said girlfriend (tennis
    anyone?)

  • Go along with an engagement announcement to a
    woman he can’t manage to say the name of

  • Parade a woman he clearly doesn’t like on a Red
    Carpet, that’s okay – she doesn’t much like him either

  • Go along with a dubious pregnancy

  • Bait and leak details via his/her coat-tailing
    friends of his wedding

  • Leak every detail of said wedding whilst
    claiming that it’s oh, so private

  • Time said wedding to coincide with, not only
    Valentine’s day, but three days before Oscar final voting close-off.

  • In fact, he will happily time ALL of his major
    life milestones to any awards close-offs or publicity events required

  • Have a baby – timed perfectly (c’mon was it
    IVF?) to only reveal the bump on three major award voting close-offs (magical
    planned/unplanned IVF babies can do that) and move said timing around so that he
    can say that they were planning the shotgun wedding before she got pregnant (scratches
    head).

  • Time the announcement of the birth of his baby to
    counter bad publicity following leaking (gosh – leaking, again?) of his CBE

  • Time the Christening of his baby to the day
    before his film premiere

  • Arrange a pap-op with his baby to counter
    divorce and negligent dad rumours

  • Attend events and stare creepily at his wife for
    half a nano-second to also counter showmance/divorce rumours

  • Use said publicity stunt wife/relationship/baby
    as an excuse to get out of attending events where he’ll have to confront his
    peers or spend time with fans, when he can’t quite use work to do that

  • Use work to do that

  • He will (literally) sell you the shirt off his
    back.  And everything else he’s
    wearing.  And everything his wife is
    wearing, and the kid too.  It’s ALL for
    sale.

  • Drive whatever car you’d like him to shill.
    Jaguar?  On his Moneymoon? No problem.  MG? 
    So, last year. Mercedes?  Yep.

  • Oh, really – he’ll do just about anything.   Juggling mandarins?  I’ll bet he’s been practising.  #supportivefruithusband.
