Cumberbatch Live-tweeted by Neighbor

“I would say that it was the strangest fan experience that I’ve ever had,” Cumberbatch tells Mandrake. “I had someone live tweeting my movements while I was in my own house.

“It was such a strange and a direct thing to see these tweets saying what I was doing as I was doing them. I found it really worrying, and, yes, of course, very hard to deal with. I worked out after a while who it was who was doing it so, when it came to it, I didn’t actually call in the police, but I was prepared to do so.

“I’m not going to say any more about it. The person concerned knows now what I felt about it. I just found it very hard to come to terms with the idea that an individual could look into my house like this, and talk about me online, and think it is a perfectly okay thing to do.”

The amiable 36-year-old London-based actor says that the whole concept of celebrity and what it is resulting in worries him. “The sad thing is I don’t really have anonymity any more in the UK as it has got just like it is in America,” he says. “Here I get stopped quite a lot now. Sometimes it is bearable and sometimes it isn’t”.

Why am I not surprised that a Cumberbatch fan takes live-tweeting to a whole new creep level, giving a whole new meaning to tweet stalking.

What the fuck? How could anyone think that doing that was OK?
Poor guy, I'd feel incredibly threatened.
scarletfbl 13th-Mar-2013 05:20 pm (UTC)
I'm asking this myself. They obviously thought it was OK and 100% legal since they posted it on Twitter. Like, wow.

“The sad thing is I don’t really have anonymity any more in the UK as it has got just like it is in America,”

Shouldn't this be the other way around?

This is really fucking creepy, what the hell. Do people just have no sense whatsoever? They're lucky he didn't call the police on their ass, shit.
sarahvma 13th-Mar-2013 05:17 pm (UTC)
I think maybe he means that American fans are more apt to come up to him, not necessarily that he was more popular in the States first.
tundrabeast 13th-Mar-2013 07:11 pm (UTC)
No in the UK there's a lot of whinging about surveillance and lack of privacy, ~Big Brother~ and ~nanny state~ were the buzzwords a couple of years ago. Actually he's probably talking about celebrity culture, paparazzi etc.

morgan90 13th-Mar-2013 05:03 pm (UTC)
He should have called the cops. How even the most deluded fangirl thinks that's okay is beyond me
sarahvma 13th-Mar-2013 05:06 pm (UTC)
Maybe it was a prank by the neighbor?
flightbyzephyr 13th-Mar-2013 06:46 pm (UTC)
I would have called the police to their has to be some law against something like this?
meredydd 13th-Mar-2013 06:52 pm (UTC)
Someone was saying it was a teenaged neighbor so he didn't want to call the cops but IDK... He had his friend go talk to them and tell 'em to stop or he'd call the cops (based on internet chat about the incident). I'd still have called the cops, teenager or no...
