Benedict Cumberbatch shares his bewilderment at being branded a sex symbol as he admits to 'worrying about ageing' in candid confession


The actor, 48, who became admired after his role as Sherlock Holmes, said that he doesn't consider himself to be a 'typical movie star.'

Following the conclusion of Sherlock, Benedict has been seen in many high-profile projects, notably starring as Doctor Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Sherlock actor can be heard saying 'I'm so hot right now' while he sits in a sauna and watches the world's forests burn in a campaign video created on behalf of the group Make My Money Matter. The advert, created by agency Lucky Generals and directed by Sophia Ray, aims to increase public awareness of the role of the UK pensions industry in financing companies that help to drive the climate crisis.
