19 Photos of Benedict Cumberbatch That Will Make You Want To Join His Fandom

Are you prepared to feel super angry at the BBC? If not, brace yourself for this little fact: The BBC didn't think that Benedict Cumberbatch was "sexy" enough to play the role of the titular detective on Sherlock. Tell that to the Internet's many, many obsessed, self-professed "Cumberbitches" and they might just laugh in your face — and with good reason. Not only does Cumberbatch ooze sexiness on his BBC series (he snatched up that role despite the haters at the network — it worked out) but he recently starred as Alan Turing in the biopic The Imitation Game, and is already receiving a considerable amount of Oscar buzz for the role. But whether the Academy sees Cumberbatch as the winner he is, his fans always will — let's celebrate Cumberbatch with the following batch of glorious photos.
