Benedict Cumberbatch paid tribute to his wife and children as he was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, saying his career “wouldn’t be the half the ride without you”. The multi-award winning actor said his Britishness made the event “incredibly painful” but he was also enjoying the “massive ego stroke”.
He was presented with the accolade yesterday by director JJ Abrams and Marvel Studios president, Kevin Feige. In a short speech Cumberbatch thanked “a bunch of reprobates,” friends who he said would “love to be here to take the p**s out of me”.
“I’m British, so part of me is finding this incredibly painful. The other part of me is quite enjoying this massive ego stroke,” he said.
