'Down to earth' Benedict Cumberbatch enjoys day in the waves at Bristol surfing hotspot

Hollywood actor Benedict Cumberbatch was spotted soaking up the rays in his wetsuit during a day out at Bristol’s unique surf destination, The Wave. Looking cheerful, the famous actor stopped and chatted with fans and even sat down for a conversation and photo with regular visitor to The Wave, Jacob Kelly, 34.

Fans responded to Jacob’s post on Twitter, thanking him for posting the snap of the Marvel star and commenting on how ‘down to earth’ the actor seemed during the visit on Monday. Mental health support worker Jacob, who lives in Bristol, said: "At about 11:30, he sat down and had a little chat with us.

"I asked him what he was doing in Bristol and he said he was just spending some time here. I asked if he had been to Glastonbury but he said no, he had absolute FOMO [fear of missing out] and was just at The Wave enjoying some surfing.
