Somebody's literal wet dream came true this morning when PR company Dundas Communications tweeted a photo of actor Benedict Cumberbatch dressed as Mr. Darcy. It's the Darcy of the 1995 made-for-TV Pride and Prejudice series, which starred Colin Firth and the photo is based on that the scene where Darcy hops in the lake. BRB grabbing a fainting couch in order to faint back and forth forever.

The picture wasn't just taken for the sake of 19th Century-style wet and wild-ness, but for "Give Up Clothes for Good," a TK Maxx campaign in which donated clothing and homewares is sold for cancer research. Also so that all the wet t-shirt contests in all the land have a winner, probably.
