Jeremy Piven Reveals Beef With Benedict Cumberbatch: He’s a ‘Cumberb—-‘

UPDATED: Currently filming the “Entourage” movie, Piven revealed how he was overshadowed by the “Sherlock” star at a critics’ Q&A.

Jeremy Piven was the special guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday, and while he is currently shooting his most famous role in the Entourage movie, it was the PBS series Mr. Selfridge that he was most keen to talk about.

“It is like Willy Wonka meets Tom Ford — if you take mushrooms you can appreciate that,” he told Jimmy Kimmel, in his strange description of the period drama that tells the story of the founder of London department store Selfridge & Co.

“PBS is putting it out and we went and did a Q&A for the critics and they said we were going to share it with Sherlock,” explained Piven, who was told: “‘You’ll do your Q&A, they’ll do theirs, then we’ll put it out to the critics and if they have any questions they will come to the stage and ask you or Sherlock questions.’

“They guide me to the stage in the dark and when the lights come on they say, ‘Please give your questions to Sherlock,’ and they forgot to say Mr. Selfridge. I am standing there on the stage while hundreds of people made their way to Benedict Cumberb—-,” he joked as ABC’s censors beeped out his obscene version of the British star’s name.
