Benedict Cumberbatch insists he's not a hero despite recently tackling a mugger in the streets of London.
The 41-year-old actor came to the rescue of a Deliveroo driver, who was being mugged by four thugs near Baker Street in the UK capital - but Benedict has rubbished suggestions that he's become a real-life hero.
The British star told The Sun newspaper: "I'm no hero. There are real-life heroes out there and I'm not one of them."
Benedict and his wife Sophie Hunter were travelling in an Uber when they spotted a Deliveroo cyclist surrounded by four men and being hit over the hit with a bottle.
The driver quickly stopped the car and he and Benedict got out and intervened in the assault, saving the grateful cyclist from further injury.
You’re a real human being and a real hero Benedict !
