I’m no hero. There are real-life heroes out there and I’m not one of them, said Cumberbatch

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.

Benedict and his wife Sophie Hunter, 40, 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. Following the dramatic incident, driver Manuel Dias said: “Benedict was courageous, brave and selfless.”
