It’s quite a big few days for Benedict Cumberbatch. He got an Emmy Nomination for Parade’s End yesterday, today is his 37th birthday and tomorrow he’s going to officiate at a friend’s same-sex wedding in Ibiza (gay marriage has been legal in Spain since 2005).
Talking to Vulture he says, “Of course, I’m going to make a joke after it, ‘I do weddings. Next will be children’s parties and bat mitzvahs,’ if it goes well. It’s a mainly Jewish and gay audience, so hopefully they will be lenient towards me.”
Perhaps this could be a lucrative sideline for Cumberbatch, especially considering his huge following in the gay community. Indeed, when the first British gay marriages start happening next summer, perhaps Benedict should do all of them! We’d imagine he’ll be too busy making Sherlock, or starring in Hollywood movies, or some other such nonsense though – he’s likely to miss his calling.
