I see Moriarty as a guy who isn't really attracted to a gender, but to who the person is, and what they have to offer. Which is why I loved the toxic dynamic between Sherlock and Jim.
Why were people giggling like it's such a taboo topic? Like Andrew said, sexuality is a very serious topic, and it's really just a normal question to ask someone if their character is gay or not. Also Moriarty is hella gay.
I think people were giggling because of the idea of talking about fanfiction stuff with one of the actors of whom the character is often in these fanfictions (don't know if that was grammatically correct, sorry if it wasn't); being French, I understood the question and I think from the way it was asked and the moments people were reacting, and also from how I know French fandoms and the way they're usually very open minded, it was more about fan excitment than mocking :)
potentially because a lot of people in France are bigots... ( well, anywhere, but I just speak of what I see..) and homosexuality, as well as in many parts of the world, is still pretty taboo.. there are great and very followed social movements that goes against lgbt rights so that's quite a cultural thing and people would rather giggle at it than you know, consider it normal... And also because that's such a random question, also that person asks it in a pretty cringy way themself, so.. yeah, it doesn't help.
Well I don't agree with you, not saying that there are no bigots in France, I know there are, from how they stare at me and my queer friends in the street, from the reactions I sometimes get when I talk about my gender or orientation, but I feel like in the context of a geeky, quite young fandom such as Sherlock's, they are definitely not a majority, like, really not. Also from the way people clap at the end, I think it's safe to say that they are not especially intolerant and seem to agree with what Andrew said
I write fanfictions... Sherlock x Moriarty, Sherlock x John, Sherlock x Mycroft, Mycroft x Lestrade, Mycroft x Moriarty, Mycroft x John, Mycroft x Sherlock x John (threesome), Mycroft x Umbrella (yes, his umbrella)... SHERLOCK X ANDERSON..................... My friends call me "Satan", I don't know why
So Andrew Scott himself is gay, and he's talking about if Moriarty is gay. Love this so much. He's just saying that Moriarty can be interpreted as however the hell you want.
as a french people, i understand the question and the laughs as cheers, and absolutely not mocking the question or anything. the question is really well appreciated, on the contrary ! ^^
@@MissAyame89 I'm not sensitive, I just find it annoying when people laugh at things that aren't funny. I get its fandom but knowing Andrew Scott is gay, asking a question about homosexuality, then giggling about it seems kinda childish and insensitive.
Aya I'm Ace and I can perhaps answer for myself as it's a broad spectrum. I personally can recognise someone as beautiful and I have been in relationships and worked a compromise, even, with people who want to have sex. As I say I find people attractive much like I would enjoy looking at a piece of art or a painting, but I have no sexual desire for them or anyone. Sex doesn't disgust me, some Aces it does - when I engage in it, the best I can tell you is it's like playing a board game or cards or something. It's an activity but not something I particularly enjoy. However, as I said, I'm not adverse to sex so I have done it, but more often than not I fake enthusiasm. To me if I really like someone otherwise it's a small compromise :) But Asexuality is a huge spectrum, similar to what autism has - it's basically a grouping word for low of no sex drive, or aversion to sex altogether because of disgust. You may get people who enjoy kiss cuddly stuff, you may get some who like foreplay but not full sex and that's all okay. Some wil say a true Ace has no sexual attraction but I don't think that's true, I think there is degrees to it. Hope that helped! :)
Why were the audience all giggling? Are they all 12 years old? Or is it a French thing? Do they realise Andrew Scott is gay himself? BTW, I just saw this guy as Hamlet this afternoon, stunning performance.
It's funny to see him talking about it because Moriarty is the Napoleon of Crime, and that he is in "normal" mode. The French ship as much as the English.
I'm French and that's not really a "french thing", I personally think that's because he mentioned 'fanfictions' and not because he said 'gay' or 'sexuality'. Also, you're soo lucky to saw his interpretation of Hamlett ! ^^
I absolutely loved the way he answered this question. While I love many actors they always seem to view these topics as inappropriate or just avoid them altogether and it kind of makes me mad bc it's just a question of personality. Andrew not only took it seriously but also answered it like any other question about a character he's played. Another reason to appreciate him more!!
3 years later and i still love the way andrew handled this despite the crowd being so immature about it. it's hard to imagine people would laugh about a character in a heterosexual sense isn't it?? why is moriarty being gay treated like it's so risque?? i cannot stand that
I think as other people mentioned before he's either sapiosexual or he is somewhere on the scale between pansexual to demi sexual. I'm not sure. Intelligence probably matters more than personality to him but Sherlock's personality played role in Jim Morality being fascinated, because he is different from others. The reason I mentioned demi- sexual is because he probably isn't attracted to a lot of people despite being very flirtatious. He likes to mess with people. So who knows if he even has a preferred gender, pansexuals can have that.
what people often do on social media is reducing a character (wich is supposedly a person with a complex background and a complex mind just like every single individual on earth) to their sexuality, or specifically to a gay relationship they may be involved in. The comments below the video are just a bunch of people saying "yes, he's this or that sexuality!" which just proves the point. it's disturbing to see how much fetishization of gay relationships is going on on social media
idk am I right, but I saw he like he was getting heartbroken while answering the question. so it was irrational to hear a question like this. this is NOT funny at all and all we know that Andrew Scott is gay. And it doesn't matter what is his sexuality choice or life. I don't know I was just uncomfortable while watching him...
I’m 4 years late but yeah I think he was uncomfortable with how much they were laughing about it. As for many people coming out is such a big thing for many people especially if their family aren’t 100% for it
@@k4ty886 correction: not 'sexuality choice'. it's not a choice, people are born with different tendencies. plus, my english sucked back then sorry lol
I write fanfictions : Sherlock x Moriarty, Sherlock x John, Sherlock x Mycroft, Mycroft x Lestrade, Mycroft x Moriarty, Mycroft x John, Mycroft x Sherlock x John (threesome), Mycroft x Umbrella (yes, his umbrella)... SHERLOCK X ANDERSON....... I think I'm Satan.
Such a good answer. It is up to the audience to interpret it how they see fit- the character is there to provide them entertainment and can fit into whatever that person wants, allowing them to form a closer relationship with the show. After all, Moriarty isn't an actual human being. He is a character, made from fiction. So using the fiction from your own experiences or preferences isn't a bad thing.
i love him ????? so much ????? his speach was amazing,, he is so down to earth and well spoken,, and besides all of that, a phenomenal actor. ugh i love him to pieces
Very good points in Andrew's statements here, it's nice to know that he spoke about using sexuality to feed a frenzy because a certain member of Sherlock's writing team seems to think that he's above doing that even though he's been doing it since the first episode
So is Andrew Scott fluent in French or was it being translated for him? I only ask because he seemed to be looking to his right on occasion when the question was asked, and was just curious.
There's so many comments on Andrew being Moriarty in disguise. And people say they are scared of Andrew even when he's not playing Moriarty. And it's not just in this comment section, I see it everywhere, is it just me who isn't scared of him at all and can see a clear difference between Andrew when he is and isn't in character?
If you watch the anime called Moriarty the Patriot, they actually give more hint that there is something more than rivalry between Sherlock and James Moriarty. 🤣 and... SPOILER ALERT: They ran away together. 💕 so nothing can separate them. James and Sherlock said that they're each other's best friend. I'm just not sure how Watson feels about that
Oh man, everybody is always like "I can't understand what british dudes are even saying bcs of the accent!" But the literally only person i can properly undersand in this video is Andrew. xddd
What do you mean the creator doesn’t like the way people are putting two boy characters together ? The tv show creator ? With all the innuendos in this tv show, you really can’t blame fans to put Sherlock with John or Moriarty, and to think Moriarty and Sherlock are attracted to men
Sexuality is just another facet of your life or a characters life. All created persons whether human beings or fictional characters are created for the same reason. To learn to love and live and learn to forgive. Drama happens when two person are put in a situation and they have to interact to solve a problem. Love and hate are flip sides of the same coin. Honestly there is a little of each in every relationship. It's what makes life interesting.
For all people who don't understand why French people in the room are laughing during the question, Yes we are dumb but not dissrespectful (not Sherlock fandom, i hope) It's not because they think someone saying "gay" or "sexuality" is funny, but because of Fanfiction. The absurdity to ask to Andrew Scott about fanfiction (and you know there isn't just 'some' fanfictions) between Sherlock and Jim is just enormous The guy who ask the question begin with "I know i'll make ennemies with this question" because he know there is not the kind of question you ask to an actor French People, we laugh when someone says something cringy or something that nobody dares to do People in this room were just surprised that he ask this, and our reaction is laugh It's just to explain the reaction, but personally i think this question seems to make Andrew really inconfortable and it's really dumb to ask it. And The whole question was approximately "I want to know what you think about gay fanfictions about your character. *laugh* I know that Steven Moffatt don't really likes it. I want to know what you think of the idea that fan make these relation And more personaly, if he has to imagine a gay relashionship with Jim, with wich other character he would imagine it ? *laugh*"
I like to think that Moriarty's pansexual, but ain't really attracted to "ordinary people". But I'm not gonna say that HE IS pansexual who ain't attracted to ordinary people (unless the writers confirms that), because...well I can't say something like that :D Moriarty has never ever talked about his sexuality, so how am I supposed to know his sexuality? And how am I supposed to know that, since I don't even know my own sexuality in the first place?! I say I'm bi, but I don't know if I'm also asexual or demisexual. ...or am I like 60% into girls and 40% into boys or what (because I've learned that bisexuality doesn't mean you're 50% into boys and 50% into girls...like half and half).
Pansexuals flirt with people for they are interested in from any gender. Moriarty flirts with everyone. Period. I don't think that's a result of his sexual orientation, but of his personality. So we can't tell.
@@MissAyame89 woah dude, chill out, sexuality isn't something to joke about. Yeah it was the gay fanfiction they were laughing about, but it clearly made Andrew uncomfortable because we all know about him and his sexuality and honestly, as a gay person, we hate it when we are fetishized and that's what they were laughing about.
I love him :'3 I'm just waiting the day that say I'm in love with a woman, man or even non-binary wasn't necessary and we just would say ✨ I'm in love.
So, which sexuality is he playing Moriarty as? I just endured minutes of abrasive giggling and I feel like I didn’t even get an answer to the question. It’s all very valid what he said and I agree with it, but still, give us a definitive answer to quell all the projecting!
Yeah I would like to know this too. I have no big problem with writing and reading on English but it's really difficult for me comprehend the English speech. Especially British accent. It makes me cry.
what he basically said was that it is up to everyone to interpret Moriarty's sexuality as they wish, that while he has some certain ideas about what his sexuality might be (and he has spoken about it with the producers) he is willing to let people to decide whatever floats their boat.
English is not my first language either, and Andrew's got a Dublin accent, but I tried my best, hope this helps :) Andrew's answer: Well, here’s what I think about that. And it’s actually a very serious question… if people don’t get too hysterical about sexuality. The characters are… there is something about Sherlock and Moriarty; they’re obsessed with each other. I can only speak about that relationship, because that’s the one that I’m sort of, in some way, in charge of. And there is a thin line between love and hate, and, of course, with any great antagonistic rivals in drama, there’s gonna be that sort of frisson, sexual frisson. But we live in the Internet age, and the digital age, and people are allowed to project whatever they choose to project onto the characters, if that’s what gives them pleasure. It’s not something that we should take a lead from, no, absolutely not. But what all great art is, it’s purpose is to inspire and to give people confidence. And it’s my job to play the character as I see fit. And if people see stuff in the character relates to their sexuality, whatever that sexuality may be, than that’s up to them to interpret it, and I have a certain idea about sexuality and the character, and it’s … if people see that in the character, than brilliant, that’s not a bad thing or a good thing. But I have to keep that close to my… in my imagination, in the same way that I think about Moriarty’s familial situation, his relationship with his family, his relationship with his country, his relationship with everybody. And that includes his sexuality. So people don’t… I think people… when I… the reason I think it’s serious is that people’s sexuality isn’t a…for…it’s not to titillate people. I would hate for characters to be redacted…reduced just to fit a sort of, to fit a frenzy. So I’m very aware that that shouldn’t be done, in fact, it’s something I’ve spoken with our producers about before. But yeah, if people wanna… wanna see the characters gay, straight, bisexual, asexual, whatever floats your boat, that’s… that’s up to you. And I think it’s time that we embraced every different type of sexuality and … (I couldn't hear the end of the sentence because of the applause)
This is so late, but they pretty much just asked about Moriarty's sexuality and how Andrew Scott feels about how the fans portray Moriarty's sexuality in things like fanfiction.
“There are some fan fictions”
some fan fictions
*some fan fictions*
*SOME. FAN. FICTIONS*

where does he mention fanfictions? i can't fully understand his speech 😩

"But the flirting's over Sherlock, _daddy's had enough now!~_"
Literally that's all I could think of during this interview.
I always felt that Moriarty was neither gay nor straight but enjoyed sexuality for the fluidity of being with a person
Juna Shinohara Sort of the same. I feel he was more turned on by Sherlock's mind and genius.
100% agree literally since the first time he was introduced i got that impression
So it turns out that Andrew Scott is a perfect human being

People in this room were just surprised that he ask this, and our reaction is laugh
It's just to explain the reaction, but personally i think this question seems to make Andrew really inconfortable and it's really dumb to ask it.
And The whole question was approximately
"I want to know what you think about gay fanfictions about your character. *laugh*
I know that Steven Moffatt don't really likes it. I want to know what you think of the idea that fan make these relation
And more personaly, if he has to imagine a gay relashionship with Jim, with wich other character he would imagine it ? *laugh*"
I like to think that Moriarty's pansexual, but ain't really attracted to "ordinary people". But I'm not gonna say that HE IS pansexual who ain't attracted to ordinary people (unless the writers confirms that), because...well I can't say something like that :D Moriarty has never ever talked about his sexuality, so how am I supposed to know his sexuality? And how am I supposed to know that, since I don't even know my own sexuality in the first place?! I say I'm bi, but I don't know if I'm also asexual or demisexual. ...or am I like 60% into girls and 40% into boys or what (because I've learned that bisexuality doesn't mean you're 50% into boys and 50% into girls...like half and half).
He's pansexual I think
Pansexuals flirt with people for they are interested in from any gender. Moriarty flirts with everyone. Period. I don't think that's a result of his sexual orientation, but of his personality. So we can't tell.

In interview, Andrew has say : "I'm homosexual"
But I think too he's pansexual
Is Jim and Andrew two different people? Are you sure? Like really does anyone know?
The character of Jim Moriarty is written in BBC Sherlock the series as Holmes sexual. 🌂♥️🕷♥️🎻
Don't get how the question was funny? It's a serious question...
I think they were laughing about fanfiction being mentioned
@@MissAyame89 yeah, well, Andrew seemed hella uncomfortable
@@MissAyame89 woah dude, chill out, sexuality isn't something to joke about. Yeah it was the gay fanfiction they were laughing about, but it clearly made Andrew uncomfortable because we all know about him and his sexuality and honestly, as a gay person, we hate it when we are fetishized and that's what they were laughing about.
@@iam_sherlocked8421 nice username.
@@tillyhossain1049 thank you :)! oohh, you've as well!
Yaaa Andrew Scott'u çok seviyorum.
I love him :'3 I'm just waiting the day that say I'm in love with a woman, man or even non-binary wasn't necessary and we just would say ✨ I'm in love.
So many words to tell "that's bullshit".
My love. Thank you.
So, which sexuality is he playing Moriarty as? I just endured minutes of abrasive giggling and I feel like I didn’t even get an answer to the question. It’s all very valid what he said and I agree with it, but still, give us a definitive answer to quell all the projecting!
What is this interview? I didn't see any in french before 🤔
Listen idk his sexuality but im 100% sure moriarty is *FABOULOUS* gay or not he's a king or queen👏
when/where was this?
Hella Jet Paris COMICS EXPO. 16/04/16.
I always thought he was bi since he’s flirted with both women and men in the show
My god he's gorgeous
What did Andrew say exactly? English isn't my first language, any help :P
What's your first language?
Italian :) I'd really like to understand fully Andrew's answer.
Yeah I would like to know this too. I have no big problem with writing and reading on English but it's really difficult for me comprehend the English speech. Especially British accent. It makes me cry.
what he basically said was that it is up to everyone to interpret Moriarty's sexuality as they wish, that while he has some certain ideas about what his sexuality might be (and he has spoken about it with the producers) he is willing to let people to decide whatever floats their boat.
English is not my first language either, and Andrew's got a Dublin accent, but I tried my best, hope this helps :)
Andrew's answer: Well, here’s what I think about that. And it’s actually a very serious question… if people don’t get too hysterical about sexuality. The characters are… there is something about Sherlock and Moriarty; they’re obsessed with each other. I can only speak about that relationship, because that’s the one that I’m sort of, in some way, in charge of. And there is a thin line between love and hate, and, of course, with any great antagonistic rivals in drama, there’s gonna be that sort of frisson, sexual frisson. But we live in the Internet age, and the digital age, and people are allowed to project whatever they choose to project onto the characters, if that’s what gives them pleasure. It’s not something that we should take a lead from, no, absolutely not. But what all great art is, it’s purpose is to inspire and to give people confidence. And it’s my job to play the character as I see fit. And if people see stuff in the character relates to their sexuality, whatever that sexuality may be, than that’s up to them to interpret it, and I have a certain idea about sexuality and the character, and it’s … if people see that in the character, than brilliant, that’s not a bad thing or a good thing. But I have to keep that close to my… in my imagination, in the same way that I think about Moriarty’s familial situation, his relationship with his family, his relationship with his country, his relationship with everybody. And that includes his sexuality. So people don’t… I think people… when I… the reason I think it’s serious is that people’s sexuality isn’t a…for…it’s not to titillate people. I would hate for characters to be redacted…reduced just to fit a sort of, to fit a frenzy. So I’m very aware that that shouldn’t be done, in fact, it’s something I’ve spoken with our producers about before. But yeah, if people wanna… wanna see the characters gay, straight, bisexual, asexual, whatever floats your boat, that’s… that’s up to you. And I think it’s time that we embraced every different type of sexuality and … (I couldn't hear the end of the sentence because of the applause)
"It's a thin line between love and hate " Doesn't it sound familiar? Ellie and Juice's "Hate me"
... ok I was patiently waiting for the French translation and it was cut. could someone translate for me? 💔
This is so late, but they pretty much just asked about Moriarty's sexuality and how Andrew Scott feels about how the fans portray Moriarty's sexuality in things like fanfiction.
He would make a GREAT James bond
THANK GOD WE HAD ONE MORE
Psychopaths have no gender.
Пожалуйста, сделайте русские субтитры!(
i love his accent
I've always viewed Moriarty as a fellow pansexual😜
great answer
where is this?
I wonder too '-' In France, but where in France ?
