1
Hi, I'm Benedict Cumberbatch.
2
I'm here at BuzzFeed and I'm here to play with puppies and to answer your questions.
3
I'm excited.
4
I'm excited to meet the pups.
5
Bring in the pups.
6
Hello, you're a big puppy.
7
What are you doing in here?
8
What a strange environment you need.
9
What was that noise?
10
What was that noise?
11
Okay, okay.
12
What's in the jar?
13
What's in the jar?
14
What's this?
15
What's this?
16
What's this?
17
It's a question.
18
What's the best and worst thing about playing Doctor Strange?
19
The best thing is, yeah, you eat that question.
20
Eat it up.
21
Yeah, yeah.
22
There's a lot of best things about it.
23
Best thing is probably having a cloak that means I can fly, which means I get to do wild work, which when it's done right and not for too long in a harness is incredibly good fun.
24
Some of the stunts are really good fun to do, the training and all of that I really enjoy.
25
It's a big old workout.
26
Yes, it is.
27
Meow.
28
The worst thing is, I don't know, it's a really gifted gig.
29
I'm very lucky.
30
If I'm to moan about something, what would it be?
31
Maybe the cloak again.
32
The cloak is quite cumbersome.
33
No pun intended.
34
Hello.
35
Yeah, it can be quite a sort of awkward thing to work with.
36
Cookie jar.
37
No, I'm joking.
38
It's just it's a question.
39
I'm so sorry.
40
Do you still know how to play the violin?
41
If so, which do I still know?
42
I never knew how to play the violin.
43
Next question.
44
It was all fakery and really embarrassing.
45
You know, this is something that takes years of practice from the age of three
46
and then I'm supposed to sort of turn it around in a couple of months before before doing a bit of Sherlock.
47
Not good, my friends.
48
I could pretend to be a lot of things with some degree of authenticity, but that is something well beyond me.
49
If there was a season five of Sherlock, what would you want to happen to your character?
50
Next question.
51
Who's the first real friend you made in Hollywood, and do you two still speak?
52
I don't know, I mean, Gary Oldman, I guess.
53
Yeah, we still speak.
54
First time I went to Hollywood, I did Star Trek, and I don't speak to them nearly, I mean, Zoey I see more of, obviously, because of the Marvel thing,
55
but Chris I adore, and Zachary as well.
56
Yeah, it is a great family.
57
It was a great family to be part of for a little while there.
58
And darling Anton as well.
59
I wish I could still speak to, very sad.
60
Don't eat my questions before I've read them.
61
It's like having naked flames in the room, it's just wonderful.
62
How hard was it to jump back into your normal life after playing a role like Patrick Marrott?
63
Good question.
64
Difficult, I've abstracted myself from my normal life for a little while, especially when I went to the dark zone of cocaine and heroin abuse and trashing hotel rooms in the New York episode.
65
Just didn't really want to go home with any of that, swimming around my brain and body.
66
I mean, not literally, but just psychically and physically, because you just have to pretend and put yourself there.
67
You need some space.
68
But most of the time, I switch on and off pretty easily.
69
Which app on your phone do you use the most?
70
Probably Waze.
71
Hey, go easy.
72
You may be bigger.
73
But that's not playing fair.
74
Stop it.
75
Yeah, because I'm your own size.
76
No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. If you could do a film adaptation of any TV show you loved as a child, which one would it be?
77
Why would I want to do a film of something that worked well in its time as a TV series?
78
I mean, don't get me wrong, that happens a lot, but that's not my gig.
79
I'm not too fond of that stuff.
80
Are you ever going to join Instagram or Twitter?
81
Denada.
82
No, absolutely not.
83
Who are your all-time favorite musicians?
84
Which present artist are you listening to nowadays?
85
I don't have an all-time favorite.
86
I mean Bowie, The Stones, The Ramones, Sex Pistols, Clash, Who, Pink Floyd.
87
What am I listening to at the moment?
88
Well, Elbow's new album is great.
89
Moonshaped Poole gets a lot of play, Radiohead.
90
I love Tom's new album as well.
91
It's a very good film he did with Paul Thomas Anderson.
92
Being so serious whilst your relative chews my boot.
93
I want to see my boot.
94
I want to see my boot.
95
Describe a puffy day.
96
Hello.
97
This is a perfect day, isn't it?
98
Getting my ear licked by a puppy.
99
Yeah, this is pretty perfect.
100
This is great.
101
But I mean, the rest of perfect with me would be private, so I won't describe it.
102
Work-wise, though, a perfect day is...
103
I don't know.
104
I love my job.
105
Pretty much every day is a good one.
106
A perfect day is when I've had eight hours sleep.
107
It's a perfect day.
108
What are some people.. pet.. peeves.
109
Oh, God, but people sound so grouchy when they answer these questions.
110
I don't know.
111
People leaning on the horn thinking it's going to make traffic move faster.
112
People being trapped in their bubble, you know.
113
People have been trapped in their bubble full stop.
114
Mobile phone usage, negative impact of some of social media.
115
I mean, I could go on.
116
I'm an old fogey now.
117
43, sufficient.
118
Good question.
119
I really could go on.
120
So I will.
121
Dirty tricks, demagoguery, fake news.
122
Everyone's a critic and angry but they don't necessarily have any kind of nuance.
123
They just want to shoot the messenger, sometimes not the message.
124
The fact that we're in a crisis people, a climate crisis.
125
These little puppy dogs.
126
Save the puppies if not yourselves.
127
Stop using single Use plastic.
128
Try and stop digging carbon fuels out of the ground.
129
Please leave the fossil fuels alone for these puppies.
130
It's a dangerous question to give me.
131
Yeah, can I have another pet peeve?
132
Yeah, burning rainforest.
133
What the f* is wrong with the world?
134
What was it like babysitting Tom Holland during your MCU press tour?
135
Difficult.
136
Like I said, I had to teach a kid how to shave, how to brush his teeth, the fact he had to do it both day and night.
137
You know, personal hygiene is a bit of an issue with teenagers, and Tom's no exception to that rule.
138
So, you know, I fumigate the rooms, I get out, you know, You know, it was tricky.
139
But you know, he's, in all innocences, he's a gentleman, brilliant, wise beyond his years, tolerant of me, and a dear friend.
140
I love working with him and bring on the next project.
141
Goodbye.
142
Thanks so much.
143
I'm Benedict Cumberbatch.
144
Watch my movie.
145
It's called The Current War.
146
It's not mine.
147
It belongs to other people too.
148
It's really good.
149
North Shore Animal League America.
150
Thank you puppies and thank you for looking after them.
151
They're very sweet.
152
Bye bye.
153

  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: embarrass /ɪmˈbæɹəs/, adaptation /ˌæd.æpˈteɪ.ʃən/, abstract /ˈæbˌstɹækt/
  • /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: demagoguery /ˌdɛməˈɡɑɡəɹi/, fumigate /ˈfjuːmɪɡeɪt/, grouchy /ˈɡɹaʊt͡ʃi/

  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als puppy, cloak, boot.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
