Now this is what you call a man of honor that stays true to his word. There are new reports that say British actor Benedict Cumberbatch is staying “true to his word” by hosting a Ukrainian family in his home in London. Here’s what you need to know.
According to new reports, Benedict Cumberbatch has spoken about welcoming Ukrainian refugees into his home to give people stability after the turmoil they’ve experienced. The 45-year-old has signed up for the Homes For Ukraine scheme, but said the family have not yet moved in.

Speaking to the press, Cumberbatch said, “It’s ongoing so I won’t talk about the details, but I’m going to be true to my word, it’s already happening. They are out of harm’s way at the moment and having some treatment in Germany and I hope to be hosting them in the coming months. And remotely helping people as much as I can whether it’s remotely or with any other amenities at my disposal. We all just have to do what we can. This isn’t the only crisis facing our world – there is still the Syrian refugee crisis, the Afghan refugee crisis, the list goes on and on.”
Cumberbatch is starring in the new “Doctor Strange and the Multiverse Madness” movie. The film sees Oscar-nominated Cumberbatch reprise his role as neurosurgeon Dr Stephen Strange, alongside a cast which features Chiwetel Ejiofor, Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Wong and Rachel McAdams.
Olsen, who reprises her role as Avenger Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch, spoke about the return of films to cinemas.
She said: “It’s not even just about how it looks or how it sounds, but it’s the community aspect, that also is what makes these films special, and nothing makes me feel happier than being at a cinema. I didn’t even realize how much I missed it until I got it back again. And that’s how I got to see The Power Of The Dog (which saw her co-star Cumberbatch nominated for an Oscar) and so it’s not just Marvel films that need to be seen on screen. It’s just important to keep the theaters functioning and working, and I’m proud to be part of a film that hopefully can bring some opportunity there.”
