An intimate portrait of a heartthrob and rising star, best known for
his portrayal as Sherlock Holmes

Benedict Cumberbatch has played detective and monster, barrister
and scientist, politician and painter, comic and spy. Still only
in his thirties, and with a string of starring and supporting
roles, he has portrayed contemporary icons, historical figures, and
fictional favorites, from Stephen Hawking, to William Pitt the
Younger, to Frankenstein. But inevitably, he is still best known for
his idiosyncratic and boldly 21st century incarnation of Sherlock
Holmes in the BBC TV series, Sherlock. The Sherlock star’s story is a
genuinely compelling addition to a sometimes anodyne genre. This book
will trace everything from his travels in Tibet to the trauma of being
kidnapped at gun-point in South Africa. His eventful personal life,
stellar acting career, and the witty, self-effacing interviews he is
renowned for are sure to make him a perfect subject for an in-depth
biography.
