BBC's "Sherlock" has made Benedict Cumberbatch one of the hottest actors of today, with a massive fan following. The gifted actor, 37, not only gets attention for his powerful performances but also for his unique name. At the moment, Cumberbatch has everything going for him, except on the love front he does not have much to talk about.

The "Sherlock" star has not yet been lucky in finding his true love. Cumberbatch believes that one of the reasons is the perception that people have about him. In an interview with GQ magazine, the actor said: "It is harder [to meet women], because people think they know more about you than they actually do."

"And you can't control that... you can't control perceptions of you," said the actor in the interview, as quoted by Metro. And, the actor does not have much time for people who see only his quirkiness.

Cumberbatch recalled his meeting with Madonna. He said that the singer had asked him "You're the one with the strange name." He had replied: "Yes, I am, Madonna."

The actor revealed that he finds the "posh-baiting" predictable, domestic and dumb. He said that he belongs to the upper-middle-class and he know that it is counted as posh. "But, then I know people who I would call posh, and I don't talk like them," said Cumberbatch to GQ magazine.

Cumberbatch will return as Sherlock Holmes after a gap of two years. "Sherlock" Season 3 is scheduled to premiere on January 01, 2014. On Friday, an empty hearse, travelling around central London, was used to announce the premiere date of the upcoming "Sherlock" season. The actor intends to continue portraying Sherlock for a couple of more seasons.

However in the interview with GQ, Cumberbatch said that he is not a "one trick pony" despite whatever he does from now will have the "flavours of "Sherlock"."

"Everyone wants those dark, complicated anti-heroes and, of course, I play them. But I also play Charles in August: Osage County, an everyman; he's not super-sleuthing or cracking code or breaking algorithms."
