The terms "drunk" and "classy" don't usually fall into the same basket, but Benedict Cumberbatch effortlessly achieved both at the GQ Men of the Year Awards.
The 38-year-old British actor admitted he'd had more than a few to drink as he collected his Actor of the Year award in London
on Tuesday night.
Often the combination of alcohol and acceptance speeches leads to embarrassment but not for Cumberbatch, whose incoherence was charming.
"I'd like to thank James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Tom Hardy for not being available," the Sherlock star told the crowd.
"It's an embarrassment of riches, our profession is in general really."
