Benedict Cumberbatch Girlfriend Rumors Resurface As Fans Swoon Over Sherlock, Watson Gay Romance Fantasy

Benedict Cumberbatch is officially off "Sherlock" duties for the time being, and the girlfriend rumors have returned due to a recent interview with Russian model Katia Elizarova.

"Why do you ask me about him? Oh no!" Elizarova exclaimed during a recent interview with London Evening Standard.

"She tells me she will not answer questions about him, but does say that he has 'very nice' manners. Russian women, she explains, like to have doors opened for them and bills paid; they reserve the right to be a 'fragile little thing,'" writes the reporter.

This has piqued many people's interests due to the recent Benedict Cumberbatch girlfriend rumors surround the pair, but the actress affirms they are just mentor/student.

Yet despite the Benedict Cumberbatch girlfriend rumors, the actor has also become a popular gay romance icon, thanks to his role on "Sherlock" with on-screen actor Martin Freeman.

Certainly, fans that enjoy fantasizing about Sherlock and Watson as a gay item have popularized the idea with fan fiction, and it seems the trend has not died down even now.

After a recent slew of set photos were released for "Sherlock" season 3 featuring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, fans have found quite the hobby in photoshopping the pair in somewhat suggestive ways.

Check out the photo above and you shall get the idea.

In fact, in Korea, "Sherlock" is often advertised with the subliminal gay romance theme running in the undercurrent.
