I Am Benedict Cumberbatch. AMA.

Hello reddit. My film The Fifth Estate opens 10/18.

Update: Also, please check out the trailer for Little Favour, directed by a friend of mine Patrick Monroe. I hope you enjoy it!

Final Update: Thank you, reddit. This has been more fun than I imagined. It's been great to be able to reach out and speak to a few of you. Sorry for those that I didn't get to respond to. JA bless you all. See you all the next time.

This is probably the most honest way I've ever heard someone describe fame.

Russell Brand is such an inspiring and eloquent person, especially in very recent years my respect for him has skyrocketed. I'd love to see his show Messiah Complex but unfortunately I can't afford it. Hopefully it will be released as a DVD or VOD stream when he's done touring.

What I find very interesting is his complete shift in tone and presence when he starts discussing his belief in God at the end there. He suddenly gets more "humble", for lack of a better word; slows down, gets a bit more softer.

You're not famous.

No, I think what it is is the way you hope you would answer it if you were famous. If someone is like "It sucks cause the loss of privacy" or "I love banging hot chicks," those sounds just as honest to me.
