"I've had to apologize for that quite a lot," the actor said.
Actor Benedict Cumberbatch has revisited several of his iconic characters over the years, with multiple turns as Sherlock Holmes in the “Sherlock” series, Smaug the dragon in the “Hobbit” trilogy and Dr. Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But he said there’s one character he won’t play again: All, the nonbinary model from “Zoolander 2.”
“I’ve had to apologize for that quite a lot so it’s a difficult one to talk about,” he said in a video posted by Variety.
Cumberbatch said he “loved” the team behind “Zoolander,” which included Ben Stiller ― who directed, co-wrote and starred as the title character ― and Owen Wilson, who played Hansel.
“It was the chance to sort of be part of something that the first time around was iconic, and I was a huge fan of, but it got complicated, it got misunderstood, and I upset people and I respect that,” Cumberbatch said. “So I probably wouldn’t do that again now.”
