Benedict Cumberbatch is an amazing person. No, sorry, it's not up for debate. Here's why.

He is goofy, and doesn't care what the "norm" is in Hollywood. Here he is, doing a couple of photo bombs:



He is also deeply grateful to his fans, and is immensely kind to them. He sent a letter to the friends and family of a fan who passed away from cancer, expressing his sadness at being unable to attend. How amazing is that? He poses for endless "selfies" and signs autographs with smiles and kind words.

Benedict recently married Sophie Turner. On Valentine's Day. You know what that is? It's a romance overload. A friend of mine shared an article on Facebook tonight about the happy couple. Mr. Cumberbatch always takes the time to ask his pregnant wife if she's okay. While they were at the Oscar's the other night, he leaned over and asked this question, then gave her a kiss on the cheek. At the BAFTAs, when cameras were going nuts, he stopped to ask her if she was alright, and when he was being pulled away for interviews, he stopped in the middle of a crowd to ask her if she was...you guessed it...going to be okay. WOW.

So there you have it. Not only is Benedict Cumberbatch an amazing actor (voicing Smaug, playing Khan, and portraying Alan Turing, not to mention SHERLOCK...I mean, come on!), he's also a pretty amazing person. And he's gorgeous. I'll just leave this here for you.


Namarie, CumberCollective
