Cumberbatch Sexier than Beckham
1 min readIn a “Sexiest Man” poll conducted by the UK newspaper The Sun, Star Trek 2‘s Benedict Cumberbatch walked away with the title.
Readers of The Sun preferred Cumberbatch by a two-to-one margin, and he handily beat runner-up David Beckham 7,115 to 3,393.
Cumberbatch doesn’t think he’s the best looking man around though, having once compared himself to the racehorse Shergar.
The other eight winners in the order of their poll finish include: Joey Essex, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Ryan Gosling, Louis Tomlinson, Zac Efron, and Aston Merrygold.
I take it the use of that photo from J.J. Trek II in which Cumberbatch looks like a screaming toadstool with Treasure Troll hair is meant to be ironic.
Personally, I think he’s a little odd-looking but he’s a terrific actor so any attention he gets is for the best haha.
