It’s a blessing to have a weird face, says Benedict Cumberbatch

Actor Benedict Cumberbatch feels that his weird face has come as a blessing to him. The star said, “(There is a) blessing of having a weird face, somewhere between an otter and something people find vaguely attractive. Or just an otter which is vaguely attractive.” Benedict also believes that his distinct look has helped him to grow in the industry.

The 37-year-old star further stated, “In all seriousness, I grew up with this face and it's been in the industry for 10 years and now it's getting on these 'Hottie' lists. It doesn't make any sense because I was nowhere near the thousandth hottest face when I started out. So, I know a lot of it's projection, which is flattering about the work.”
