Benedict Cumberbatch talks about Doctor Strange, Will Smith Oscars 'slap', and Sherlock return

Benedict Cumberbatch admits he thought Will Smith Oscars 'slap' was fake

Benedict - who was also at the award ceremony - admitted he was ‘really confused’.He said: “I thought it was a gag, I didn’t really know what was going on.“I didn’t see the contact, I just saw the reaction and I’ve done stunts on camera and I thought they’ve just sold it.”

The star added: “There was silence for a bit, then he said what he said when he got back to the chair and the temperature just dropped out of the room.”

Meanwhile, it could be good news for Sherlock fans, as Benedict hinted he might return to the role.

When Jamie asked if he’d ever make another film, the actor said: “I would say it’s about everyone wanting to do it and having the right time to do it and it being good enough to do.

“Never say never, there’s a lot of other stuff going on in my life, we’ll see, as a team we’ve said if it’s right we’ll do it.”
