How much do you love the Cumberbatch?

Jana Prikryl, a senior editor at the New York Review of Books, had a poem about Benedict Cumberbatch published in the London Review of Books.
Thinking of Benedict
Cumberbatch and his mind
(stay with me), I resolved
on the importance
of character, specifically
as a function of the celebrity
interview: that it’s not his face
propelled him into the skin
of a matinée idol but
his quips and winning
earnest wish to answer
every question,
and be very very nice.
Where is the ode to Tom Hiddleston in the Paris Review or the sonnet about Eddie Redmayne in the Times Literary Supplement? (And the lament on the recent wedding of Joseph Gordon-Levitt?)
