  Benedict Cumberbatch has cheated death twice.
36-year-old British hottie Benedict Cumberbatch has had an exciting life before he became an international sensation. He opened up to the UK’s Mirror about cheating death twice.
The Sherlock and Star Trek star’s first harrowing ordeal was carjacking while filming the BBC series To The Ends of the Earth in South Africa. Cumberbatch was with a couple other actors including Denise Black when they got a flat tire. As they tried to change it in the dark, six armed men ambushed them. According to Cumberbatch “They frisked each of us for weapons and valuables then bundled us back into the car and drove us into the bush. The car stopped and we were hauled out and told to kneel with our hands on our heads. We were in the execution position with a duvet over our heads to silence the shots.I tried to stand but to them this was clearly a sign of panic or evasion. They ordered me to stand up and get into the boot.
“I heard Denise saying, ‘Please don’t kill him’. The lid opened and I found myself calmly lying that I was claustrophobic and I could panic and die and be a problem for them. ‘Dead body in a boot, problem, not good!’ The lid slammed shut again. A lot of arguing. It opened again and they told me to get out. They took me up a small hill away from the others, made me kneel and tied my hands behind my back with laces from the trainers they’d removed earlier. I heard, ‘We are not going to hurt you but make one mistake and we will kill you. Lie on the ground’.” After three hours lying on the ground, and listening the the men leave, they decided to run for help.
“I’ve still got a scar where I was tied up,” Cumberbatch says. “It was terrifying. The next morning I woke up as a free man with the sun on my face and I cried. I thought I’d never feel its warmth again.”
The second time he almost died, he got dysentery and altitude sickness after getting lost on a hike in Nepal. “We were lost for a day and a half, trekking at night and squeezing moss to get water. We slept in an animal hut that stank of dung and had hallucinogenic dreams because of the altitude sickness.”
When is someone going to make a movie about Benedict Cumberbatch’s life? These are insane stories.Wow... that's intense! I'm so glad that you've survived those two experiences, Benedict. |
