Doctor Strange all up on that ass, ladies and gentlemen! We’ve got a hell of a story about cinematic superstar Benedict Cumberbatch here today. Apparently, the man has some real mettle. But, don’t just take it from me – listen to the dude he saved from a mugging.
Courtesy of The Huffington Post:
The Sun reports Benedict was in an Uber vehicle on London’s Marylebone High Street with his wife, Sophie Hunter, when they saw the cyclist being hit over the head with a bottle.
The driver of the car, Manuel Dias, told the newspaper that when Benedict initially pulled the attackers away, “they turned towards him and things looked like getting worse, so I joined in”.
“He stood there instructing them in the street, shouting, ‘Leave him alone’,” he continued. “It was only then I recognised Benedict. Then it all got a bit surreal.
Talk about a SICK Friday night! One night, some hoodrats are mugging you. Then, the next thing you know, you look up and Benedict freaking Cumberbatch is by your side, attempting to stave off the would-be thieves. How unexpected would that be?
Like, what are the odds that a huge celebrity would ever save you from a mugging? Has to be astronomical, right?!
Also, how do you respond to that? I’d have to think my initial reaction would be that I’m dead. That’s the only way to explain the hallucinations, right?! I mean, I do adore Doctor Strange, so it would only make sense for him to be the one guiding me into the afterlife.
But, if that’s not the answer, then I’m definitely freezing. Those muggers are just going to get shot in after shot in as I’m standing there starstruck. No doubt.
Manual added that “Benedict was courageous, brave and selfless”, telling the paper that the cyclist “could have been seriously injured” if he didn’t step in.
Maybe all this playing Doctor Strange has brought out the hero in Cumberbatch. Or, maybe he’s just a solid dude to begin with. This may shock some people, but I am not friends with the guy, so I wouldn’t know. But, even the hardest-nosed cynic like myself has to admit that stories like this do restore my faith in humanity a little bit.
Regardless, I tried to tell y’all that Doctor Strange was Marvel’s MVP.
I hope you listened, ’cause look at Doctor Strange out there making a positive difference in the world. Everyone else is preoccupied, but Doctor Strange straight up stopped the damn car to get out and join the fray.
MVP moves only.
