Benedict Cumberbatch gets a little too caught up in his Sherlock alter ego while filming, according to the Daily Mail.

In fact, Cumberbatch himself revealed that his mother, actress Wanda Ventham, has said that her 40-year-old son is “much curter” with her while he is in the midst of filming scenes for Sherlock.

“I do get affected by it. There’s a sense of being impatient. My mum says I’m much curter with her when I’m filming Sherlock.”

This is not the first time that Cumberbatch’s mother has weighed in on her son’s exceedingly popular role as Sherlock. As Stephen Moffat, Sherlock‘s showrunner, previously revealed, even Benedict Cumberbatch’s mother didn’t think he was attractive enough to play the role.

“Benedict’s mum didn’t think he was good-looking enough to play Sherlock. Nobody did.”

Benedict Cumberbatch recently presented the revolutionary Apple Toilet, according to Gizmodo. But don’t worry – luckily the horrifying-sounding innovative masterpiece by Apple doesn’t actually exist.

It was the Saturday Night Live creative minds who thought it would be funny to mock Apple’s famous 1984 commercial and have Benedict Cumberbatch present the so-called Apple Toilet.
