Benedict Cumberbatch: I was engulfed in flames when stunt went wrong on new BBC drama Parade's End

Benedict Cumberbatch has become a sex symbol

Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch had a frightening near-death experience on the set of his new TV drama Parade's End.
Worried crew members thought the actor had been blown up when a stunt went wrong during shooting in Belgium.
'We were filming this dream sequence which involved an explosion,' says Benedict, 36.
'It just went off in my face. I was engulfed in flames. I was very, very lucky - I just got singed eyebrows, eyelashes and hair.
'It was terrifying. The [film] unit were looking on going: "F*ck! He's a goner." It was really scary.'
