Benedict Cumberbatch is taking over Toronto.
The “Sherlock” star is at this week's Toronto Film Festival promoting his latest film “The Imitation Game,” a new drama in which he plays legendary mathematician Alan Turing. So what did he learn from his appearance at the movie's TIFF premiere? Benedict Cumberbatch has a lot of fans. Like, a lot. And they really, really love him. Here he is being mobbed:
