Benedict Cumberbatch desires to appear dumb on screen

Actor Benedict Cumberbatch is known for the intelligent roles that he portrays on screen in his films. The actor has now expressed his wish to do not so intellectual kind of roles. He said, “I always seem to be cast as slightly wan, ethereal, troubled intellectuals or physically ambivalent bad lovers… I am so ready to play a really dumb character.”

The 37-year-old actor has also stated that he doesn’t like to come in limelight that much. He further said, “There is a way of just shadowing through. The higher the walls, the more dark the windows, the bigger the sunglasses - the more people are going to look. The greatest disguise is learning how to be invisible in plain sight.”
