renniejoy:cumberwizard:Glasses + Benedict = a dead me.I admire his dedication to that one pair, but I have sooo many questions.@channybatch he mentioned in one interview that it is because he has bad eyesight. I think he only found out about his bad eyesight when he was getting ready for his role as jullian assangeDAVIES: You dyed your hair white, and I guess - were there some prosthetics…CUMBERBATCH: (Laughter) I did.DAVIES: …Or some kind of latex or no?CUMBERBATCH: Yeah, no latex, no. I had a set of teeth in. I had endless sessions with a dialect coach to get his particular Australian twang right, and I dyed my hair. And I had two or three weeks that we changed - and also contact lenses, which is how I discovered I was shortsighted. I had an insurance test for them.DAVIES: Really?CUMBERBATCH: So everyone keeps on saying, oh, we like your hipster glasses, but they’re not real. I’m like no, I’m shortsighted. They help me see. And, yeah, that was when I discovered that. But, yeah, I had to wear contact lenses to try and dull - my eyes are a little bit too sort of bright. His are a much sort of deeper, darker, rich kind of gray-blue color.source: http://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=378660368and he also mentioned it again in this dr strange interview when asked what was his ‘personal relic’, he answered:“uhh.. my glasses. I’m a bit short sighted now so yeah. My glasses help me see things. […] I’m not too blind yet but it’s probably gonna go that way.”source: https://youtu.be/SEm8IVfVW4k?t=38 so yeah, his glasses are real :) as to why he’s dedicated to that one specific frame, that’s something only ben can answer xD -- source link
