... in which Benedict Cumberbatch talks about his experience on the Star Trek set: link. My favorite part?

Cumberbatch shot "Sherlock" in Wales, but for "Star Trek," he's in Los Angeles, sometimes on a proper movie lot, with all the amenities that go with it -- such as catered lunches.

Asked if he's enjoying it all, Cumberbatch says, "Yeah, you betcha. It's great. I've gone up two suit sizes. The character I'm playing, he's strong, I can say that much. I've changed my physique a bit, so that requires eating like a foie gras goose, well beyond your appetite, and, providing I don't feel too ill, I then work out two hours a day with a phenomenal trainer. It's the L.A. way."

Foie gras goose? LOL! He's so incredibly sweet and funny! You just have to love the guy. I really can't wait to see him in the movie. Especially since everybody and their uncle is praising his voice work - I just adore his voice, it makes me all tingly ;)
