English is not my language and I am still learning about it. But it's so nice to hear them talk, even if I don't understand everything they're saying, I watch the entire video with a silly smile on my face as if I understood hahaha

[mff.]

The talent between the pair of them; they couldn't have picked a better duo. Great job, Variety!

[sarahjuliana]

How intelligent, interesting & well spoken are these two!? I could listen to them converse all day!

[elizadubose]

It's so cute that they both said "no" or "stop" when the other acknowledged their talent

Benedict's story about his dad is very moving

[anna_banana]

Absolutely love these two. What a perfect pairing. Claire is so relatable and genuine

[Mor_timer]

The Crown made me feel things ❤ Claire Foy ate that role up

[_adrian_sean]

I love that he spoke life into her when she doubted herself

[CrAZychicke]

Loved Claire and Benedict in their projects. Loving all these conversations.

These two are just fab, some of the best talent in British drama.

I like the attention to detail the crew had; Claire's microphone is white so it doesn't stand out against her outfit, while Benedict's is black to match his blazer. Little things like that stick out, I suppose. Of course, they are two supremely talented actors, and I loved the interplay between them during the interview.

Two lovely human beings. I'm charmed by Cumberbatch. I've loved him since he played Sherlock. And Claire, all I can say is wow! Of all the people that have played the royal family in film, Claire nails it brilliantly. I'm looking forward to more of her projects.

[Lanipooh]

These two really feed my love for British people…extraordinary talent represented here

[marielam]

Can't believe I just found out this interview existed... I love british people that's it

[Serenity]

I just realized that they both did an indie film together. I love they're together for this interview.

[deckenneth]

Had the opportunity to meet him in the Virgin America first-class lounge (Clubhouse) in Boston on his way back to London after Black Mass while I was heading over for some business.. He was quite nice and comfortable chatting.

As a long time fan of both actors I'm so glad you paired them for this interview. I loved that they talked about the impact of fame on their lives. It's the elephant in the room isn't it? I wish them both the best of luck as they move forward in their careers. Thank you Variety.

didn't know it was possible to love Cumberbatch more that I did 30 minutes ago, but it is. Patrick Melrose is an incredible series, truly amazing 💓

Great interview!! Two of the most extremely talented actors!! 🙌🏽✨👏🏽

[dorasrednicka]

I remember her from Going Postal. I loved her role there and from that moment I realized that she is absolutely brilliant.
