Last April, back when I would have heard this news and said, "So?" Rufus Sewell went to Roger Ebert's film festival in Champaign, Illinois, and sat on a panel with Timothy Spall to discuss Hamlet, among other things.
A woman who attended and is a journalist wrote a few blog entries about the whole festival experience. Here is a quote from the April 24th entry:
There is more, specifically when she asks to have herself seated next to him at a panel the next day (headlined, "In Which the Author Takes a Roofy," so you know she's one of us), but I wasn't sure how much I'm supposed to quote, so I added a link below. There are several entries on the same page, so scroll down.

Afterward, actors Rufus Sewell and Timothy Spall spoke, both as charming and bright as you’d expect and smart in pinstriped trousers and boots. Why can’t American men take a page from those Brits? And yes, Rufus proves eminently crushworthy. A laundrylist of why before it leaks elsewhere, Tourettes-style.
1.He is as handsome in real life as he is stretched across a big screen. A rarity, I doth assure you. This includes: a. bedroom eyes b. long lashes not wasted on this boy c. a head proportionate to his body.
2. He laughs all the time, sometimes at his own jokes. Admittedly this quality might endear himself less to me were he less handsome or if he’d laughed less at my own high comedy, but who’s going to live their life on a conditional? Not I, says this frog.
3. He speaks in the straining, raspy voice of an earnest nine-year-old.
Okay, Sewell PSA officially over.
