I was listening to a podcast and one of the speakers made the remark about Martin Freeman, "I guess if you want to like him as an actor, you really shouldn't learn anything about him as a person" and also referred to him as a douchebag.

So I'm asking you lot, what has this person done to be an awful human being? I don't keep up with actors' lives as a rule. And I'm not a fangirl, I just like watching "Sherlock" and he was ok in "The Hobbit" (despite my myriad issues with plot, i.e. why three movies, why the singing, why don't the eagles show up earlier and stay longer, etc.). I'm merely curious what the speaker is referencing, because to get me to say something like that sort of requires a Roman Polanski or O.J. Simpson, someone who's raped or murdered or drowned kittens for funsies. I'm not wild about Johnny Depp and I still would think that's kind of a strong statement about him - I mean, I'm just meh. But "you shouldn't learn anything about him as a person" seems strong feeling.

"Talk turned to Martin Freeman, still away running around the woods of New Zealand in his Hobbit feet. Everyone was full of praise for him, noting his commitment to the job while also being a terrific amount of fun – and also at times terribly, terribly filthy, a revelation that led Benedict to dub him ‘Martin Free-Hands’ " - See more at: http://sherlockology.tumblr.com/post/14072847066/belgraviaq-a#sthash.asXlnYQE.dpuf

That sort of thing?

Eh, I feel like he's little enough I could step or sit on him if he tried to get fresh, LOL!

Was this related to Irene's actress mentioning how during her nude scenes Martin "said a few things"? (I mean apparently she added later that "they were harmless," but hearing that kind of thing does make me take pause a bit.)

I actually have no idea about the further context, but I had the same feeling about this bit as well, the phrasing giving me pause.
