Sherlock's Andrew Scott given porn videos of himself by fans

Sherlock star Andrew Scott has revealed that creepy fans have sent him porn videos where he is the star.

The Dublin actor admits he gets freaked out to see they have doctored scenes from the BBC show to add him into sex scenes.

And Andrew – who plays arch-villain Moriarty in the BBC show – never knows what to do when odd-ball fans hand him the videos in the street.

He said: “There’s a sort of a new dynamic that happens with fans now. They send you these short films.

“Where they take love scenes that someone else – Benedict [Cumberbatch], for example – has been in and they put them together, and they give them to you.

“And they’re usually very shaky, shy hands, but then you watch them and you think, ‘Jesus Christ!’”

And Andrew, 37, admits he does see the videos as a horrible form of sexual harassment where he is objectified.

He added: “I suppose, it’s part of the same world of being objectified. I’m about to play a rock star in the theatre.

“And the play is very much about the nature of fame, so I’ve been thinking about it an awful lot recently.

“To idolise somebody and to put anybody on a pedestal in that way can be cruel. You’re both waiting for them to fall.”

And Andrew has revealed he is refusing to let Sherlock’s success go to his head – and turned down a million-euro TV role in America.

He said: “I think you’ve got to be really careful with that success stuff. Particularly with something like Sherlock, because I don’t feel like a pressure to be in another television programme.

“I’ve just been asked to be in an American TV series that would have been big, but I don’t feel like I want to be in another television series because, it’s more of the same.

“I want to do something different. It’s not about the size of the project… I’ve lived in poverty before, I can do it again.

“I just sort of feel like, ‘Oh cool, I’m still getting to do it’ and I’m stilling getting to do more different stuff than ever before.”

And Andrew – who is gay – told Hot Press that he has become extremely impressed with Panti’s fight against homophobia in Ireland which he wants to continue.

He said: “I don’t think that people are intrinsically homophobic, because otherwise we’d have to give up.

“I think people are ignorant, and there’s a lot of work to do. But it’s also very important for me to say that I wasn’t bullied, It never affected my career, my parents were great about it.

“I mean it was always easy for them. And when I was younger, I still have feelings of isolation and shame, and that was compounded by a law that backed up that feeling.”
