Benedict Cumberbatch Kiss On ‘Sherlock’: Louise Brealey Reveals All The Details! Twitter Fans Call Molly Actress ‘The Luckiest Woman In The World’ [VIDEO]
Louise Brealey shared a kiss with Benedict Cumberbatch on "Sherlock," and Twitter fans are calling her "the luckiest woman in the world." Have you ever wondered what it would be like to kiss Benedict Cumberbatch? Louise Brealey, who plays Molly on "Sherlock," revealed all the details about the kiss in the season 3 premiere!
"Obviously everyone adores Benedict [Cumberbatch], and it was such a James Bond-y moment," Brealey told Scotland's The Herald. "But I was standing on a crash-mat, so was slightly unstable. In one take I actually fell off the crash-mat. I slowly slid off like Del-Boy at the bar.
"But you don't often get to do fantasy shots like that," she said.
"In the script it was just a James Bond-style clinch, but I wanted it to be a proper snog and not a peck. In one take Benedict did the hair ruffle to get the glass out, and in the next take he didn't do it, and I was like, 'Put the ruffle back in. It's really hot!' It looks good, though, doesn't it?"
Brealey also received quite a following of jealous fans on her Twitter account after the kiss!
"Within a minute-and-a-half of that kiss I had something like 6000 new followers on Twitter, and I had thousands of tweets that night," she revealed.
"One of the reasons Molly works is that women who love or fancy Benedict can quite easily imagine themselves as her. So, of course, when he snogged her, they all just... lost it. It was such a collective ... [squeal] because no-one was expecting it."
Brealey also talked about the kiss to Glasgow's Evening Times.
"It's been funny on Twitter because I get tweeted constantly by people saying I am the luckiest woman in the world because I've got to snog Benedict and slap his face," she said.
"It's been mad and the kiss in episode one of Sherlock was crackers. I have to say I got my chewing gum out for Sherlock."
