    A Couple Questions For Benedict Cumberbatch's Hair In "The Fifth Estate"

    Creepy blonde locks of varying length and unwash: we salute you, true star of the new The Fifth Estate trailer. Cumberbatch Smumberbatch! We've got some questions for this new Internet treasure.

    The Fifth Estate is a film that will ultimately cause controversy: whether you believe Assange to be a hero, a traitor, a cautionary tale, a necessary evil, or an egomaniacal control freak, one thing is certain: homeboy has some seriously scene-stealing locks. You'd think, with the Internet's favorite human in the role (Benedict Cumberbatch) that these follicle foibles would take a back seat, but oh no: not even Sherlock himself can take center stage away from the myriad of heady moments set forth in the film's new trailer.

    And let me tell you, we've got some questions.

    It starts out normally enough...

    Things quickly take a turn, towards the unwashed and stringy.

    Hey, hair: what did it feel like to be so exposed in such an unkept state?

    Is Benedict Cumberbatch's hair being method?

    The hair isn't all on the same page, though: Single strands reach out, desperate for attention.

    Hey, hair: what was your inspiration for this scene?

    Seriously, though: Is it white? Blonde? Silver? See-through?

    That hair isn't just full of secrets, it IS the secret!

    Even shrouded in darkness, it's still the star of the show.

    When going incognito, it's all you can think about.

    Hey, Hair, what did it feel like, going through such varying transformations throughout the film?

    Even the 'mushroom' phase had a life of its own, with varying lengths.

    Was 'the mushroom' your darkest moment or your crowning glory?

    Regardless, this much is true: the hair's ready for its close-up, Mr. DeMille.
