Benedict Cumberbatch’s House Attacked By Angry Chef
Written by on May 30, 2023
Marvel Cinematic Universe star and Hollywood icon Benedict Cumberbatch’s house was attacked while the actor and his family were home.
Per the Daily Mail, a knife-wielding assailant attacked Cumberbatch’s London home, kicking his way through the iron gate out front before ripping the intercom from the wall and making a series of violent threats. The assailant was identified as Jame Bissell, a chef at the five-star Beaumont Hotel in Mayfair, who was arrested. He subsequently admitted to criminal damage at Wood Green Crown Court on May 10, whereupon he was sentenced to a £250 fine and a three-year restraining order barring him from approaching Cumberbatch, his family or the area where they reside.
Benedict Cumberbatch’s Home Attacked For Unknown Reason
Although Bissell has not explained his actions, he reportedly shouted, “I know you’ve moved here; I hope it burns down,” as per what was brought before the court. Bissell is also said to have purchased pita bread from a local shop before the attack, where he announced his plans to break into the Cumberbatch home and burn it to the ground. Cumberbatch, his wife Sophie, and their three children were all home at the time and stated that they could hear Bissell smashing into their garden outside. Bissell was identified after police found his DNA on the destroyed intercom.
Cumberbatch’s acting career began on the stage before he transitioned to television and film. The actor’s work garnered critical acclaim after his debut as the titular detective of BBC’s Sherlock in 2010. Cumberbatch made his MCU debut as the titular hero of 2016’s Doctor Strange and has established the character as a tent pole figure across both the primary MCU and the wider Multiverse through appearances in properties such as What If…? and Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness alongside Elizabeth Olsen as the Scarlet Witch.
In May 2022, following the release of Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Cumberbatch alluded to taking a break from acting. When asked what version of the universe he personally would like to inhabit, Cumberbatch responded, “I guess one that’s less busy, maybe… I might be that very soon, which is nice — taking a bit of a break.”
Only a month later, Cumberbatch expressed his hopes that he would be returning to the role of Doctor Strange for a third entry into the MCU series. “I would love to do another one,” Cumberbatch said before going on to note the character’s complexities, as well as how much further there is for him to be explored in the confines of the MCU. “He is such a brilliant character and I’m still having a wild time playing him.”
Cumberbatch is set to appear next in the adventure-comedy The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and the satirical Biblical epic The Book of Clarence, both slated to arrive in theaters later this year. Cumberbatch will also be starring in The End We Start From, a British survival film set after an ecological crisis floods London and forces its population into whatever remains of what lies North.
