Best remembered for his catchy name, Benedict Cumberbatch has shown us numerous distinctive hairstyles that really look great on him. One of those is the signature medium-length curls that the famous detective Sherlock Holmes has sported. This lead role has granted him stardom and widespread recognition. Benedict then confessed that he actually can’t stand Sherlock’s hair as he thinks it makes him look a bit like a woman.
The British actor has also played several roles in Hollywood including “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” where he had a 70s hairstyle, “War Horse” where he had a side-swept and a mustache, “Star Trek: Into the Darkness” where he admitted that he had difficulties on deciding for his hairstyle, and “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” where he played the perilous dragon, Smaug.
Benedict Cumberbatch eventually has been known in playing eccentric geniuses and sci-fi roles where he has changed his looks a lot of times. He has won several film awards and has been nominated both for Golden Globe and Oscar for his portrayal of Alan Turing in “The Imitation Game”. This is where he showed off a bizarre slick undercut hairstyle with a harshly side-parting. In 2016, he starred in the title role of the Marvel film “Doctor Strange” and repeated the role in “Avengers: Infinity War” in 2018.
Benedict Cumberbatch has come so far. Sporting sophisticated or edgy hairstyles, the actor flawlessly demonstrated us how to look great in each style.
