We all know that Tom Hiddleston dances and dances and dances, like his life depends on it. Tommy loves to dance. Tommy and his Snake Hips will Vogue their way into your heart any day of the week. Tommy needs no excuse to dance and twirl and bump and grind and twerk. But did you know that Benedict Cumberbatch ALSO dances? Granted, it’s not part of his shtick, like… he doesn’t dance wherever he goes, and he doesn’t do on command. But he does dance. And sometimes there are videos. And so one brave person put together Hiddles videos and Cumby videos for one epic dance-off:
The video of Cumby dancing in a tuxedo shirt is from a wedding, I believe, many years ago. He was drunkenly dancing with friends to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and he seemed to be having a great time. He knew how to do the Thriller dance too. Anyway… there’s a lot of padding in here, especially on The Batch. Because let’s face it, The Batch doesn’t have a million dancing videos, and every time he moves, that does not qualify as “dancing” (although he is quite graceful). There are just so many videos of Tommy dancing though. And they seem to go on and on… because Tommy will keep dancing and dancing. One day Tommy will write a memoir and it will be called Dancing Towards The Dragonflies.
Who would I rather dance with? Well, if I’m just dancing for fun… well… actually, in any possible situation, I would rather dance with Benedict. Tommy doesn’t seem like he’s interested in dancing with a partner. I bet Benedict is an amazing slow-dancer.
*stares out of window, wistfully day-dreaming about slow-dancing with Cumberbatch*

” Tommy doesn’t seem like he’s interested in dancing with a partner.” Spot on. It’s almost as if he is Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever. He’d probably start dancing with a woman and bust out moves all by himself to be the center of attention. As a Ben-addict, I’d do any dancing with Benedict—-or no dancing at all if you get my meaning. Wink Wink. LOL
Ooooooooh, Tommy in a white velvet disco suit though. Could totally work!
Not VELVET. Satin. Or sateen. It IS the 70’s we’re talking about. Let’s just agree to keep polyester in the closet though — eh???
velvet underwear then?? I must know there is velvet somewhere…
Oooooh, Velvet Goldmine.
whatever on the dancing but I will say those 2 both look great in a suit!
Kaiser,
Is this you fishing for a Tom & Benedict post???? Oh well, no matter as you have both boys in all their splendor. *appreciative sigh*
But my answer is — I’d dance with Tom vertically and dance with Benedict horizontally. Because I agree that Benedict would be an amazing slow dancer….
*gazes whistfuly over the garden imagining a much different dance than Kaiser*
PS — The Dragonflies will be (understandably) upset as only Benedict is in velvet. I’d suggest filling the post with both in Velvet…. Otherwise they’ll think you’re playing favourites. 😉
I bet Tommy would be a great waltz partner. Now I am swooning.
You know The Drangonfly would stare deeply into your eyes the entire time.
Did you see those new CHemboy pics?
Marty darling,
To your first point, no – I wouldn’t notice his eyes at all, not were my gaze was held.
To your second point – the airport photos? The photos when CHems arrived home for Christmas? The photos at LAX which places him in Los Angeles which… oh my goodness, look where I find myself?!? Now if you will excuse me, the thorns on this bush are digging into my hand holding the binoculars and I think I hear the gardeners coming.
*shakes head enthusiastically* Yep, those are the ones! Nice arm pr0n just in time for the Holidays! And of course him looking annoyed while trying to shield India’s eyes from the flashes and Remora not being able to stop posing all the way to the car.
Oh yes, the first thing I saw this morning. God, I missed him. I need MORE!!!
I just want to engage him in the Salsa… and anything else that activates those hips.
I’m afraid that if he starts on anything too frisky, snake hips would run away and join a disco all by themselves.
He waltzes in Return to Cranford and it’s lovely. He also slow dances beautifully with Tilda Swinton in OLLA.
I loved Cranford (the whole series, when I watched it yeeeeears ago, before Hiddles was A Thing) and need a re-watch so badly!
There is somewhere a clip of Tom waltzing (one handed) in one of the compilation clips on YouTube. Its set to Lana Del Rey I think, but I haven’t found it for a while. I think it was part of a rehearsal for a role.
And he slow dances Rachel Weiz in The Deep Blue Sea which is totally swoonworthy (the bit where he laces his long fingers with hers is divine)
I’d go Tommy at the start of the night when I had the energy, then Cumby at the end of the night when I was growing weary and needed a velvet shoulder to lean on.
Oh that dance in The Deep Blue Sea is very swoon-worthy….
*lost in thought AGAIN*
One of my favorite slow dances in a movie was with Ralph Fiennes and Kristen Scott Thomas in ‘The English Patient’–the way those two looked at each other, it was HOT.
I laughed at the video–I like Benedict better than Hiddleston. It’s not that I don’t mind Tommy-boy, but he always seems like he’s sooo needy and eager to please. Which is fine, sometimes, but for me he crosses a line. Like he always feels the need to be perky and willing to play along ALL THE TIME. It bugs. He’s like a smarter version of Stacy Keibler–an eager, overexcited, golden retriever–always eager to please. It grates.
I LOVE the thriller dance–he seems like a lot of fun. I prefer Benedict as Khan–me like the slick backed hair. But I like him as Sherlock.
Of course Tommy isn’t interested in dancing with a partner. He’s too busy raving alone in a corner, awaiting his Dragonflies. Then he will dance in the center of the circle, and he will feel love, perhaps, for the first time.
Shall we pool our money and buy him a dancing shirt that says “Everybody Look At Me”??
I’d settle for just a g-string. A velvet one.
@Secret Squirrel, I really really love reading your comments. 🙂
I was listening to Stone Roses’ “I Wanna Be Adored” where the chorus goes “I wanna be adored, I wanna be adored”, and guess who I thought of immediately! LOL
That’s awesome Windy! I’m chuckling whilst typing this and will go listen to the song in a minute! Its sounds perfect for him.
Any other songs that would suit either Tom or Ben on the dance floor?
What about Michael Jackson’s “Ben” for Benedict? He indeed has a friend in me!!
The Beatles “Please Please Me” for Tom??
etcetera…
Yep, that’s Hiddleston’s motto. I like him, but he acts like a needy kid all the time. I like Cumberbatch more because he’s handling all the fangirl hysteria with aplomb and wit.
Neither of them do anything for me. Hiddleston is a child, and Cumberbatch seems like your standard podgy, occasionally sneering upper class twit who secretly loves scatalogical humor.
But I do respect both of them as actors. They’re miles beyond any American actors.
@gefeylich – Oh, are they actors?? I didn’t realize. I thought they were full time dorks with casual “dancing or moving around on a movie set” tendencies!
😀
Tom seems like the type that would twirl you off the dance floor because he likes to be in the spotlight. All like, bitch don’t steal my thunder.
And anyway I have a soft spot for Cumby. So, duh, Cumby.
Do we all win? Thar video was absolutely hilarious!
We do, Marty – we all win.
Thank you for understand what I was trying(and failing) to write. It seems my mind
is already being effected by the thoughts of heavy Christmas drinking.
Tom Hiddleston, FTW.
Someone needs to get these two together and let them have a real dance off!
The video of Benedict dancing to Thriller was from a PRIVATE wedding and was originally hacked from a private FB page. The owner of the FB page asked that it be deleted and for quite a while it disappeared but seems to have made its way back again.
It was not meant to be shared with the world unlike the other clips of both Benedict and Tom which were “performed” during public events or talk shows.
This. It was take from his ex-gf’s page, iirc, and she made a major point of asking for it to be taken down.
Honestly? Olivia needs to quit with that. She posted it on her FB and someone on her friends list re-posted it and it got circulated, period. Or she didn’t have her privacy settings tight and someone “public” was able to see it. Whatever the case, there was no “hacking”. Every time something “private” goes viral, “hacking” is the go-to excuse the owner makes. You can’t “hack” someone’s FB account. Believe me, had she been truly “hacked” there’d be a lot more personal stuff floating around than just this old, grainy, totally innocuous video from a wedding. It’s Ben drunk and having fun. It’s not exactly a sex tape. She needs to let it go.
TBF, she hasn’t said much on it recently, just at the initial outbreak and mainly because someone set up a twitter acct claiming to be her and was posting as her, including the vid (and some more catty types think it’s her being grabby since BC was getting super famous and she was not, around that time). Benedict’s camp said zilch on it, at least not directly. Other than some oblique comments about privacy, he’s said nothing, and hasn’t since it came out, but there was a general widespread “take it down, it’s private” thing that went on when it first came out and Olivia went a bit ballistic about it.
Olivia had (and may still have) a public YouTube page (username Opoulet) that featured the wedding video. It started making the rounds soon after Star Trek was released…the page was public and easily searchable. There was no hacking of any kind.
Now I want to go clubbing with Hiddles. And this will date me but whenever I think of slow dancing, I think of my junior high school dances with Boyz II Men’s “Water Runs Dry.” Wonder if Cumby would awkwardly sway with me in a school gym.
Tom would be that one friend you take clubbing and after one too many shots ends up being hoisted off the tabletop whilst shouting – “BUT I’M A FAIRY PRINCESS, LET ME DAAAAAANCE WITH DA FAIRIESSSS!”
*shudders*
Last New Year’s Eve was one for the history books.
I bet you’re a “woo girl” like me too! “Let’s do shots!” “Woooo!” “I’m drunk!” “Woooo!”
I wonder if Hiddles would buy us 3am fried foods after clubbing.
Oh please tell me you were a “woo girl”, Amelia. It is how I shall always hear you from here on out.
And I see your Boys II Men, Hello Kitty, and raise you a Spandeau Ballet “True” – sung into your partner’s ear as you sway under the glitter ball in the gym that has most of its mirrored pieces missing.
(oh dear lord – I asked Mr. Rochester which song I should use an now its on the stereo and he has his hand out to dance. *sigh* I’m going to say yes)
Whenever I see Hiddles dance, I think of the SNL “Boy Dance Party” skit.
“Here’s some info that may come as a surprise. Sometimes we like to dance with just. us. guys!”
Let’s all ask our SO’s this Christmas to slow dance to our junior high school dance jams! I can sense my husband’s eminent shudder….
Past tense?
Please – enough Bailey’s and it’s a fairly good bet that most of my Facebook timeline on the 1st January will involve pictures/videos of me making a prat of myself with various props.
Last year it was cowboy hats.
I might dig out some S Club 7 just for nostalgia’s sake, actually. Thankfully there aren’t many slow dancing songs in those archives.
I was clubbing in the 80s – we generally had our mouths to encumbered to utter little more than garbled, strangulated sounds.
And yes, a little Bailey’s and I am prone to find the nearest bar top.
I’m an “alrighty” girl.
Another drink?? Alrighty!
Dance with me?? Alrighty!
Double shots?? Alrighty!
Do the Nutbush with me?? Alrighty!
Sit down before you fall down! Hell no! *usually falls down anyway*
@j.eyre and Amelia. You must try Amarula if you like Baileys. So smooth and too easy to drink the whole bottle!
Amarula?!?
*eyes Squirrel suspiciously*
This isn’t an Aussie trick is it? Like telling me that Vegemite actually tastes good?
And I’m an ‘alrighty’ or SURE! girl too. Gets me in trouble. I swear I’ll stand my ground next time as I pray to the porcelain goddess….
*frowns at Ladyslippers for dissing Vegemite*
Don’t go there… Vegemite is the best tasting axle grease you are ever likely to find my friend…
TRUST ME! If you like Baileys, you will like Amarula. Its South African and is considered wine as it is made from fruit. Its pays homage to the elephants that get drunk on the fermented fruit by putting them right there on the bottle. Kind of like putting a picture of a wino on a cask of wine… “drink this and you could be the lucky one to grace next months cask cover!”
Thank you for the suggestion, Secret Squirrel. I am not familiar with Amarula. To be honest, whereas Baileys featured prominently in college (they are one of the layers in a Blow Job, which is a shot but really, the sentence stands on its own in any capacity), I am really more of a martini drinker these days.
One martini and I will fall in love with you
Two martinis and I am tearfully telling everyone around us how important you are in my life (whether you are the cocktail server who took my order or my dearest friend dating back to grammar school)
Three martinis and I dump the nuts on the bar to use their bowl as a hat, find the first flat (ish) surface I can find and do my best Bob Fosse. Following that, I start spitting “you ruined me with your precious, stupid nose there on your face” Fortunately for all, my eye sight has gone and the one receiving brunt of my assault is usually a coat rack.
Aah, j.eyre, you sound like a riot to go drinking with. I tend to become more “affectionate” as I drink. Some would say “handsy”!!
Vodka+Lime nbr 1 – “Get away from me”
Vodka+Lime nbr 2 – “Stand over there but talk to me”
Vodka+Lime nbr 3 – “Mind if I just put my arm around you. Your mouth is so fascinating”
Vodka+Lime nbr 4 – “Your the best person I know and I want you to be my new BFF!”
Vodka+LIme nbr 5 – “I love you”
The next morning – “Who are you again?”
@Hello Kitty, I just Googled “Boy Dance Party” and fell out.I am dying to see BDP2 starring La Hiddles. And there must be an epic dance off in there somewhere… I want a GuestBatch appearance at the very least.
Kaiser, I was gonna say that as much as I prefer Mr. Cumby, Hiddlestone wins this dance of. But you’re right, dancing with hiddlestone would be a lonely and disastrous affair as he’d be showing off his moves all the while stepping on the lady’s toes! However, he can step on my toes any day if he promises to wind that waistline like that afterwards….
Cumby will dance with you then the next morning totally deny having met you.
Hahahahahahahaha. I love Cumby, but I might love your last line even more.
Well everyone knows that British men are known for their extraordinary and uninhibited dancing skills…ahem.
My money is on Tom. He is so adorable. Then again, Mr. Cumberbatch’s smoldering goes a looooong way.
I would pay good money to see Cumby and Hiddles dancing with each other.
LOL. I would chip in as well.
And, pray, let it be a tango. Cumby in burgundy velvet, Hiddles in blue velvet, bickering over who’s to lead and who’s to follow (I’m fairly sure Cumby will win. “I like to be the dominant one”, remember?).
Hahahahahahaha! The visual I’m getting on this is priceless!
Oh, dear. Curls, now you’ve done it. You’ve planted the idea of Cumby, whom I adore, & Tango, which I drool over, together in my head.
To me, the Tango is the most sublime dance there is, has always been & ever will be. I envision Cumby being awkward at first, because the dance moves are complicated, but he’s naturally graceful & I can see him getting the hang of it, & then smoldering down at you (assuming you’re shorter which I just happen to be) & whipping you around the dance floor until you’re too stunned to speak.
Hiddles, on the other hand, will be having so much fun Tango-wiggling that he will just laugh all the way through the dance & there is no place for that tomfoolery in Tango.
And now, I will never have another moment’s peace….
@Janeite: Hope you picture the red rose between Hiddles’ clenched teeth as well …
God, I’m afraid I’ve had one cup too many of mulled wine.
Merry Christmas everyone!
@EscCon: I really, really wish I could tango (Santa, can you hear me?). I love dancing, but unfortunately my beloved husband is a rotten dancer with no sense of rhythm at all (there, I said it).
So Cumby would come in handy (and I am indeed shorter than him, so smoldering down at me would be no problem at all), although I suppose Hiddles would be much more fun, especially since hip contact is one of the most important leading mechanisms.
Curlsunited, I think I might actually die now. But it will be a happy, happy death.
And is there really any such thing as too much mulled wine? I think not. ‘Tis the season. Merry Christmas to you as well!
@Janeite: There’s no such thing as too much mulled wine?
* scratches head *
I’m rummaging my records looking for my “Thriller” album. Just saying …
I’m shaking my piggy bank as we speak and would be more than willing to give whatever I can to the cause!
Oh, and to be the centre of that velvet dance sandwich… Dragon hips… *hands over credit card with instructions to max that baby out!*
Soooo many fantasies, so little time. Unfortunately I dance like a frog in a blender so I would probably be too mesmerized by either of these chaps to dance with them. I would just watch (and drool into a cup).
*drools into a cup*
Best. Christmas. Present. EVER.
Oh HELLO!
Whose piggy bank are you shaking???? Is that the one from the garden shed???? Hmmm?!? *lips pursed* I think you should put it back and rustle through your OWN stuff to pay for a dance with either Velveteen Cumby or Velveteen Hiddles!
(Personally I want to make my Velveteen Cumby real by loving him. But the advice comes from the very dubiously named Skin Horse…)
😉
*hides behind garden shed guffawing quite unLadylike*
To see these two dancing in the same room, I’d steal the Queen’s piggy bank if I had to!
Do you know how many velveteen rabbits had to die to make those jackets?? *nervously clutches at own velvet-like fur*
@SecSqu: You’re not drooling in my cup of mulled wine, are you????
Not to worry about your own dancing, Secret Squirrel. Watching is just fine too. 😉
This is turning out to be the most hilarious and fun thread! What a good way to go into the holiday!
Curls,
Knowing Squirrel as well as I do I’m sure she’s drooling in everyone’s cup. Hopefully the spices in your mulled wine cover up her nut flavoured drool.
*sigh*
Luckily she’s cute enough that most will forgive her (especially when she fluffs her tail and then clutches it with her grubby paws. But the killer is when she locks you with her BIG BROWN pathetic eyes begging you not to be cross with her. It. Works. Every. Single. Time.).
@curls – Seems drooling into your mulled wine is the only way I can get you to offer me some. It doesn’t even have to be mulled…
*makes big squirrel eyes*
Give me enough wine (mulled or not) and I will soon dance my little bushy tail off. I’m the Hiddles of the squirrel world. Squiddles!!
*begins stretching legs in anticipation of busting some moves*
“Squiddles” 🙂
Squirrel, you are my favourite rodent!
What are you having? Burgundy? Burgundy Burgundy, I mean, not burgundy velvet. Or rather hazelnut liqueur?
Merlot is a shade of velvet isn’t it?? If not it should be (copyright on naming velvet shade Merlot).
I take my hazelnut liqueur straight up thanks!
They’ve got this over on Pajiba.com too, but they also linked to THE BEST of THE BEST dancer of them all, the one to leave Hiddles crying in his velvet sheets…
Sam Rockwell.
After that OLLA clip of Hiddles dancing with Tilda, I think I’ll go with Hiddles. I think dancing with either of them would end up being a riot, though!
*stares out of window, wistfully day-dreaming about slow-dancing with Cumberbatch*
I am right there, wisting along with you, Kaiser. I have so few opportunities to slow dance in my life it never even occurred to fantasize about that particular scenario, but now that I’m thinking about it… I think Tommy would put too much pressure on my to do, like, moves, and would freak me out by trying to dip me and stuff. Cumby would just confidently lead me around and stare into my eyes. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
As a Cumberbitch, I still pick Hiddles. I had no idea he could dance like that. Awesome!
Hiddleston, because when it comes down to it, I’d rather dance without a partner too. I’m sure he’s good for at least a couple waltzes around the floor at a wedding, and then we can sneak out to the club afterwards.
But regardless of who’s chosen, we all win here, because either of these gentlemen is much more fun than a guy who loudly proclaims he doesn’t dance.
Yes, this! A win-win for all of us! Give me a guy who dances any day, whether it’s with me or by himself.
You know that thing young drunk guys do when they take their ties off and wrap them around their heads? I wonder if either Cumby or Hiddles has ever done that.
I bet Hiddleston did. I think we’ve all seen how he used to dress himself even when he wasn’t on the dance floor. A man who wears neon yellow pants wouldn’t hesitate to do something silly with his tie.
Cumberbatch, though…isn’t he the thrifty sort? I see him folding his up nicely and putting it carefully in his pocket to avoid stains.
*breathes huge sigh of relief*
Oh thank God! I was so worried. After being threatened with a vase you do need to understand a delicate flower sometimes gets worried over nothing.
*rummages through garden shed*
Dear we might have some goodies in here…
*comes up with lint and empty wrappers*
Ummmm… Perhaps not. Sorry, I’ll bet Squirrel was too lazy to dig up her nuts and raided the shed instead.
Lunchie, with your usual brilliance, you have managed to sum up the personas of both men perfectly with those observations.
My dear, your avatar has sadly disappeared… Did you eat it due to the stress of the holidays?!?
*slowly inches away from LunchComa as she might start eating other avatars… you know… the flowery ones*
Sadly, I did. It’s been a long weekend full of traveling and devoid of pictures of handsome actors, and my late night cravings got the best of me. Luckily, I’m not a mogwai and can be safely fed after midnight, and it’s always easy to order another tray of sandwiches!
Floral avatars have nothing to fear from me. What would the holidays be without some decorative touches?
I think Tom’s the type that would steal Cumby’s neatly folded tie and dance with it tied around his head whilst Cumby politely asks for it back.
I don’t dance, I flail! I would happily flail along next to either of these two (or both). Woah… My knees just got a bit wobbly there for a second!
@ladyslippers – You stay out of my garden shed. It has my collection of Tommy vs Cumby memorabilia. The lint is from Cumby’s navel after filming Smaug and the empty wrappers are from the guy who sat next to a woman whose cousin twice removed once sat in a taxi that Tommy once sat in *fusses over tidying up wrappers and lint whilst giving side eyes to anyone else thinking of coming and raiding my shed*
And Hiddles will refuse to give it back. At which point Cumby will sigh in resignation and make a mental note to send the tie to the cleaners.
And do you schedule tours of your garden shed? Are we allowed to touch anything?
@Secret Squirrel: I second the need for “Open Garden Sheds”. IMMEDIATELY.
That is NOT your garden shed!!!!
*stomps stems & roots quite forcibly!*
You… You.. You have your home in the tree up there!!!
*waves leaf vaguely above head*
We flowers have to put up with A LOT of you stupid… animals.. messing *sputters* Whether it’s the dogs peeing on the spade (or worse — peeing on us), to you rodents thinking everything is yours!!!!!! EVERYTHING IS NOT!!
*goes so red with anger there isn’t any white or pink on the petals*
I think Tommy would abandon the tie after a while and poor Cumby would find it crushed on the dance floor at the end of the night with a big Tommy-esque shoeprint on it.
MS SLIPPERS
*drinks big glass of water to fill bladder*
The gardener and I have an understanding about the shed.
I can store “special stuff” in there no questions asked in return for keeping silent about his secret Charles and Camilla teapot collection.
Oops…
Ian Waite. That’s who I’m dancing with. Because he looks like Puddletom but isn’t Puddletom. Free field for you ladeez from me. Call it a Christmas pressie.
Merry Christmas all!
Can I have all three with a side order of fries to go!
Loved the clip.. thanks for sharing it…. choosing btw those two is a hard task.. 🙂
Maybe Hiddles… he seems to dance better… though Cumby is Cumby,,,,
Well, this was a treat for the eyes.
I am a big fan of the type of man who will drunkenly shimmy up against me at the bar because shots of WooWoo (wink to Amelia) can wait until Earth, Wind, and Fire have finished.
Therefore, Cumby.
Really? I was thinking The Commodores myself… Nothing like Brickhouse to get me in the mood.
no no, the Bee Gees “You Should be Dancing” is my jam – and Hiddles is well-suited to that one, I think, so I shall have to choose him this time.
Oh heavens, ncboudicca – may I hang out with you in your fantasy for a spell? It sounds divine.
I’m thinking the Time Warp. Not only because they would both get to do the same dance moves, but there is that whole “do the pelvic thrust” bit…
*blushes, but goes right on thinking about it*
@Secret Squirrel, yes, yes, a thousand times yes!!! Time Warp!!! We need to make this happen. Sell ticket and give all proceeds to their favorite charities.
@ Secret Squirrel, @Janeite, Yes yes that would be so cool! Think their fans would all go nuts though and may end up fighting over their actors, and cause a stampede? I seem to have the view that the Hiddlestoners are a tad crazier these days…. Let’s just sell those tickets to Cumberflies, Dragonflies, Cumberstones, Dragonbitches and other CB folk who would be more controlled in their fandom? 😛
“Dragonbitches” YES.
We need to have the “Time Warp”.
Preview in a cosy little theatre (NOT hosted by Caitlin Moran of course. I’m positive that I, Curls could come up with a very nice Q&A and do the Sarandon fainting scenes if required). And then of course an open air event at Hyde Park and/or Central Park.
I’m also thinking “You’re the one that I want” as an encore. Although Cumby has a long history of playing women I’d rather see Tom as Olivia and him as Travolta. 🙂
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYQltuvKCD4
Happy holidays everyone. Hope to see you all again in the new year – hopefully discussing Sherlock.
@curls – Really? Cos I was just thinking it would be Tommy, Ben and a few select posters from this thread doing the Time Warp! Hell, we don’t even need the music. They can sing the parts themselves!
Totally with you on Ben being Danny and Tom being Sandy! I can picture it oh so clearly now. “Tell me about it Benedict Draco Tarquin Velvetmort Cumberbatch”
Have a good Xmas and look forward to posting with you again next year!
Cumberbatch for me as Hiddleston is like a clockwork doll. Wind him up and off he goes. Cold and creepy.
I think Tom wins the dance-off.
Now how about a dance off between Tom and Sam Rockwell?
This isn’t even a true dance off…Tom is dancing for Marvel’s PR initiative to garner more fans whereas Cumby is dancing at a private wedding. True dance off will be when they legit dance against each other. also is it just me of Tom has these set of dance moves that he repeats constantly??
In that case Cumby would win as variety is life even in terms of dance steps 😉
You just know Tom was a London club kid at one time. Cumberbatch is pretty amusing. The internet wins at this one…it put a big smile on my face.
Tom, any day. That boy can dance! And yeah he knows it, so he’s a bit of a show-off, then again he’s an actor and they just love to be the center of attention.
Benedict suffers from white man can’t dance syndrome exacerbated by alcohol consumption; What I mean is Tom doesn’t need a drink to start 2 stepping, whereas you know Benedict wouldn’t even dare get out of his seat if his alcohol blood level is under 2 sheets to the winds….
Tommy wins! (And dang does he look good in a suit!)
I think dancing should be made a compulsory course in every school.
Tommy knows he looks good (although if you look at his dance steps in isolation, they really are ridiculous, but he makes it work anyway). Benedict I think would be reserved in his dancing until the alcohol levels reached that magic number where suddenly he becomes a dance god! In my experience, its usually somewhere between alcoholic drink number 5 and 6!
Tommy 😀
*thinking of his nice arms around my hips and his beautiful hands in mine*
did I mention the fullmoon being involved 😉
Re: full moon involvement… Are you a Werewolf Eira? Will the moonlight touch you and turn you into a lust-filled beast that rips all Tom’s clothes off??
Can I watch please!!
🙂 vampire is more my thing. hell yeah, wanna join?
let’s dance our a*** off together, my dear squirrel 🙂
wow! I like the picture of the “lust-filled beast” ripping Tom’s clothes of 😉
I bet that’s when he starts singing “stand by me” 😀
*dances a$$ off with Eira, but wearing a turtleneck skivvy to cover throat as vampire talk has made me nervous*
Except Hiddles-shaped ones, in which case I offer my throat up no questions asked!
thanks Kaiser for this lovely thread just before the holidays! really made my day watching the youtube vid!
think they are both great in their own ways…. though I would fear for my toes if I was dancing with Tom and I can be quite an attention whore on the dance floor too (when drunk) so he would need to watch his toes. The night may just end with both of us having a dance-off and pissing everyone else off. LOL
loved laughing at everyone’s comments too! HAPPY HOLIDAYS everyone! 🙂
Stand back everyone! Its Windy on the dance floor and she OWNS it.
*watches a dejected Tom mope off knowing he has been out dance-floor-whored*
Happy and safe holidays DFW…
I remember the editor of Variety.com tweeting that he had watched Cumby dance his ass off for two hours straight at the Golden Globes after party. So I think he likes to dance.
Here is the link to the tweet:
https://mobile.twitter.com/s_oldham/status/290720395219308544
Hiddleston is a good dancer but I have a soft spot for Comfort Cumby. However, the video is the very definition of #winning.
I love me some Mr Hiddleston, he is a good dancer and he’s a sexy dancer. He’s the kind you see when you go to the club or party and the way they move says a lot about them, ahem, catch my drift. Oh dear God I’m in love. He is absolutely lovely and he dances his ass off, that is what I’m trying to say. I also like Cumberbatch, but he’s a wee stiffer, whereas Hiddleston is fluid and oh so sexy!
exactly and all he needs his his white suit, and a cleared dance floor with 80’s music.. he’d be Tony from SNF. Same sort of hip movements 🙂
Loki all the way..OMG what a gift.
