Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch is known as a vocal advocate for Syrian refugee relief.
After performances of Hamlet in London at the height of the crisis, for example, he implored the audience in the theater to pass the hat and contribute cash to help displaced Syrian children.
At one curtain call, using an expletive, he denounced British politicians for their willingness to only admit 20,000 Syrian refugees into the U.K., Breitbart News reported.
The wealthy Dr. Strange actor now admits that he had a knee-jerk reaction to the refugee crisis, especially as a new father, which caused him at times to become over-excited. As a human being, though, he felt he had to do something about the situation, and would do it again, if necessary.
Adding that he has no regrets about using his entertainment platform to bring attention to the crisis, Benedict Cumberbatch explained to The Big Issue why he and his wife decided against housing refugees under their own roof.
