Benedict Cumberbatch Central will not post any paparazzi photos that aren’t related to Benedict Cumberbatch’s work, nor are we going to post paparazzi photos that invade his privacy (i.e photos of his children), regardless of where or when they were taken. Benedict works hard to keep his personal life out of the spotlight and we should respect that.
