Turing, who played a pivotal role in both the Second World War and the advancement of computer technology, had a turbulent existence marked by discrimination due to his sexual orientation. Turing’s suffering in his personal life as well as the substance of his genius were both poignantly and powerfully portrayed by Cumberbatch (Porter, 2016). Hiss reputation in the global film industry was further cemented when he received an Oscar nomination for the performance.

“People say it’s not our problem, but it really is. We created it. And also, part of being a global citizen means it should be our humanitarian problem anyway. It’s not good enough to think, ‘let’s hope they die on the way’. And that’s really the logic of what people are saying.”

Personal Policy ：Don’t stand for it.

201676732 — 2023-10-31 20:48:02 UTC

There are some fans who adore Benedict Cumberbatch's role as Sherlock Holmes so much that they call themselves "Sherlockians." On the other hand, those who appreciate all of his work might refer to themselves as "Cumberbitches." However, Benedict Cumberbatch himself has expressed reservations about the latter term, as he considers it impolite and undignified.

Instead, Benedict Cumberbatch has come up with the term "Cumbercollective," which he proposed spontaneously.

This term transcends various dimensions and implies a large, egalitarian community. It is gender-neutral and suggests a vast, equalitarian group.

In the past we haven’t featured younger men very often in our Gentleman of Style series, but Benedict Cumberbatch is an exception. While style is inherently part of an actor’s image, Mr. Cumberbatch’s style beautifully brings together the elements of a classic wardrobe with excellent attention to detail, fit, and a modern flair.
