Benedict Cumberbatch has discussed his role in The Hobbit.
The Sherlock star, who is playing the part of dragon Smaug in Peter Jackson’s upcoming trilogy, has explained that he has found the experience liberating.
Speaking to Total Film, he said: "It's very freeing, once you put the suit on and the sensors. I've never felt less encumbered, actually. And you have to be. You have to be free.
"You just have to lose your s**t on a carpeted floor, in a place that looks a little bit like a mundane government building. It was just me as well, with four static cameras and all the sensors. Then the boys at Weta work their magic."
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will be released on December 14.
