This past weekend, Benedict Cumberbatch attended the Letters Live at the Wilderness Festival. The event was delightful as always but a lovely moment was when Benedict asked the crowd to sing happy birthday to his mum. See the photos and videos:
‘It is an honour to join you here at Wilderness in our 10th year’
‘It would be easier and pleasanter to drown myself’

Benedict Cumberbatch was at Wilderness Festival this year for Letters Live. "I'm going to abuse my position of power of having a microphone in front of a lot of people and say, Sophie Hunter, I love you." ❤️ Here's a mashup of him signing hbd to his mother, Wanda Ventham 🎂 pic.twitter.com/U5Rnaf7xMZ
