The long march that we've all done towards tracksuit bottoms and hoodies and trainers the entire time? I'm not having it. I like the minimalism of it but also the peacock element of it and sometimes the wholly impractical nature of it - not style over content but style over practicality.
Modernism, for want of a less lazy word, that has definitely informed me - musically, stylistically, just outlook-wise, I suppose. But it would be silly for me to deny that that has been a presence all my life.
MARTIN FREEMAN MOD
**There has been a big mod revival recently and you and Bradley Wiggins share a tailor in Mark Powell. If you're the US State Department then yeah, he's a villain! I think once that has hit in people's subconscious, it casts a long shadow, you know? I don't know - I think Ben's only played too villains, hasn't he? Khan and Smaug. I guess pre The Office, which was the thing that made me famous, I was more of a blank canvas for people. I wouldn't say that was the part I was born to play either. and again I wouldn't say that's my Hamlet. And in The World's End you don't play a particularly nice guy. But I think I'm quite capable of bringing out colour and shade in any character. Not to big myself up too much, I think I play a lot within a second, do you know what I mean? You're not saying I am, but if I was someone who was playing one thing all the time, that would be something else. ** Yes, if there is any plan ever it's to play as much as possible. Do you wish you could do more of those roles? You were once in the running to play the villain in The Lovely Bones. **Benedict has played a lot of villains this year. Whatever pleasure people get out of it then fair enough. it's not for me and Ben to judge it really. I think the first time it happened I thought, "Wow, that's well drawn." You know, some of it is really generally well done. But that whole thing is its own phenomenon now, the Sherlock erotica. I think he knew it wouldn't freak me out. ** Well I already knew about that fan art for a long time, but he emailed me saying "Have you seen this?" We have a pretty open, quite liberal relationship. **In Time Out recently, you revealed that Sir Ian McKellen emailed you about erotic fan art on the set.
