Benedict’s Survival Tale
In 2005, Benedict Cumberbatch faced a terrifying ordeal in South Africa. While traveling with friends, their car suffered a blown tire and armed men ambushed them. Benedict described being bound and held in the car’s trunk when referring to Marc Maron. The harrowing experience, lasting over two hours, ended with their release after surrendering money and bank cards.
This incident profoundly impacted him, teaching him about isolation and resilience, and instilling a desire for a meaningful life. The Radiohead song they were listening to before the attack, “How to Disappear Completely,” remains a poignant reminder of his brush with mortality and hope.
