Benedict's double?
Am I the only one to find this odd? Where the good lord is the resemblance? Doesn't the press have enough to write about when Ben is on his well deserved honeymoon?
*scratching head*

Re: Benedict's double?
Completely ridiculous. He looks nothing like Benedict, and how lame to present himself that way. I hope he's not making money off this, but unfortunately he probably is

Re: Benedict's double?
I'm not sure if it's even his "fault".
I remember some pics of him months (years?) ago, when people thought they were from teenage-Ben.
So now it seems that boy probably "just" jumped on that train.
But "fans" can't tell the difference between 16 and 38? Really? 
EDIT: They can have that boy. I prefer the MAN.

Re: Benedict's double?
My opinion exactly, Mattlocked.
Certainly there are people who say: "You look young Cumberbatch."
But mistake him for Benedict? Typical Daily Fail story, I think.

Re: Benedict's double?
This is absolutely ludicrous. This boy looks nothing like Ben. Daily Fail indeed. (love that expression, by the way).
I completely agree with you, mrshouse, when you wonder if the press doesn't have enough to write on Ben. However, I wouldn't use the word "press". Seems too much an honour. I wish they'd leave him alone. Then again, that's the tabloïds for you, spreading rumours, writing farfetched articles, misquoting people...anything to sell, and to hell with ethics!

I remember it from a few years back, yes. I generally don't see these sorts of resemblences, and I didn't with this kid either, but obviously people did. But this is such old news for a new article!

Re: Benedict's double?
Sorry boy, you tried, but there can be only one Benedict.

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?
