Your devoted fans at r/cumberbitches decided to collaborate on a group post on behalf of the entire subreddit, to say THANK YOU for taking the time out of your hectic schedule to do this AMA!
(A quick aside regarding the subreddit name. We do know you are not entirely fond of that particular nom de fandom. And while some of us agree, some disagree, and some don’t really mind either way, with almost 7000 subscribers and thousands of archived posts, it is really past changing now. We had a bit of discussion yesterday about perspectives in linguistic reappropriation regarding gendered perspectives and, hey, we would really love the chance to have that conversation with you sometime. But today is not the right moment. So. Moving on.)
Many excellent questions were posted, discussed, and voted on. We wish we could ask you all of them, and surely you would answer all of them if you had the time, because you are always amazing to your fans--but in the interest of brevity, we decided on the top five. That’s a lot in one post, so feel free to pick what you want to answer!
1. What is your favorite childhood memory?
2. If you were stranded on a desert island with the basic essentials, what additional 3 things would you want to have and why?
3. Favorite hot beverage, and how do you take it? Favorite alcoholic beverage?
4. You’ve come into A-list celebrity a bit later in life than some actors. Do you think maturity makes it easier to handle the kinds of invasiveness and scrutiny that come with stardom? How well do you think you would have handled this level of success at an earlier age, say, ten years ago?
5. Third Star is an r/Cumberbitches perennial favorite. What was it like to make a film that dealt with facing mortality so directly? Did it influence how you look at your own life?
Again, thank you for your truly exceptional work, and your kindness towards your fans, and...well, just for being you, really. We are so looking forward to seeing all your upcoming projects. (Especially Little Favour. Man, that looks awesome.)
And if this AMA thing doesn’t scare you off Reddit forever...feel free to drop by r/Cumberbitches anytime! We are really proud of being a mostly mature, respectful lot...with only very occasional forays into squealing weirdness. Really. We promise.
