Happy Birthday, Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch! (07.19.76)

People say, “This is your moment.” Well, I hate to say it, but I don’t believe in moments. I don’t believe in one-offs. I believe in something continuing and continuing, and I want to be doing this job for the next 50 years if I live that long.

Benedict means ”blessed.” My parents liked the sound of the name and felt slightly blessed because they’d been trying for a child for a very long time.

“But mostly, I feel, compared with Cumberbatch, like someone going through existence with the contrast dial turned down. To him, it seems, everything is neon bright. The barbs may sting more sharply, but his sun must shine that much brighter.” - Stuart McGurk, British GQ (x)
