In honor of his 42nd birthday, we’ve compiled a list of reasons why the “Cumberpeople” just can’t seem to resist the dashing Benedict Cumberbatch. (Photo: WENN)
Let’s start with the obvious. Benedict Cumberbatch is handsome. Not that we’re all about looks, but you know! (Photo: WENN)
Benedict Cumberbatch is TALENTED. Four films he starred in were nominated at the Oscars 2014. And have you seen him as Sherlock?! And Dr. Strange?! AMAZING! (Photo: WENN)
Not only that, but legend Steven Spielberg calls Benedict “the best Sherlock on screen.” And we absolutely couldn’t agree more! (Photo: Release)
He’s one of the few people to make it out of the friendzone. After being besties with English theatre and opera director Sophie Hunter for 17 years, they got married in 2015. (Photo: WENN)
Benedict is family oriented—which only makes him sexier. He’s said his two sons (a.k.a. Cumberbabies)¸ Christopher and Hal, are in fact his greatest achievements. (Photo: WENN)

Despite being utterly handsome and talented, Benedict doesn’t take himself too seriously. He considers his celebrity doppelganger to be Sid the Sloth from “Ice Age.” (Photo: WENN)
He’s a fellow feminist! In fact, Benedict is reportedly not keen that his fans call themselves “Cumberbitches”. He would prefer the name “Cumberpeople.” (Photo: WENN)
We don’t have to call him Sir Benedict just yet, but the actor received a mighty high honor from Queen Elizabeth II, named a Commander of the British Empire! (Photo: WENN)
We’re definitely not all about the money, but we love a guy who can provide financial stability. And with a 30 million net worth, Benedict Cumberbatch sure fills that criteria! (Photo: WENN)
Why are people so obsessed with Benedict Cumberbatch? Well—the answer is in the question itself: Benedict Cumberbatch.
Just to give you an idea, he’s been in a handful of Cumberawesome productions—including, but not limited to, The Imitation Game, Doctor Strange, and, of course Sherlock—, his eyes change from green to blue due to a rare condition called heterochromia iridia, and there’s basically no one he can’t impersonate—from Alan Rickman to Chewbacca.
So, yeah, you can’t really blame us for being Sher-locked.
If you’ve ever watching him on screen—or just watched him in general, you will know that 10 arguments are just not enough to explain why we love him and his amazing skills. But in honor of his 42nd birthday, we’ve compiled a list of reasons why the “Cumberpeople” just can’t seem to resist the dashing Benedict Cumberbatch.
