Benedict Cumberbatch digs into toxic masculinity in 'The Power of the Dog'

Benedict Cumberbatch digs into toxic masculinity in 'The Power of the Dog':

This was a nice interview! I didn’t care much for the interviewer. She didn’t seem to know much about Benedict or listen particularly to his answers (or at least, acknowledge them or show interest in them before plowing on to the next one on her list) and she asked him the same questions that he’s been getting for the past 15 years now: about the carjacking in SA, about his parents being actors, about what fame is like, about his year in Tibet, rather than actually listening to the interesting things he was saying and following up on them. She actually said something like “so, your parents were actors” and he very gently corrected her to say that they still ARE actors, and then she used the past tense for Wanda and Timothy again. Super irritating. But Ben was lovely, as ever. <3
