Kate McKinnon playfully pointed out why sapphics have a soft spot for both Benedict Cumberbatch and Andy Samberg. When asked by MTV UK, she quipped, “They’re beefcakes—I love a handsome guy as much as the next les.” McKinnon added that she was thrilled to honour the long-running comedic trope of sapphic performers being flirtatiously bold with straight men—a tradition she credits to Jane Lynch in films like “The 40-Year-Old Virgin.”
In new film “The Roses,” Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman portray a married couple whose façade of marital harmony crumbles under the weight of their mutual frustrations. McKinnon and Samberg play friends caught in the chaos.
