Benedict’s Brush with Fate: A Harrowing Tale of Survival

In 2005, Benedict Cumberbatch endured a harrowing encounter in South Africa. While traveling with friends, armed assailants ambushed them following a car tire blowout. Benedict recounted the terror of being bound and confined in the trunk to Marc Maron. The ordeal, lasting over two hours, ended with their release after relinquishing money and bank cards.

This life-threatening experience profoundly influenced Benedict, teaching him the depths of isolation and the strength of resilience. The Radiohead song playing before the ambush, “How to Disappear Completely,” now stands as a haunting emblem of his close encounter with death.
