Benedict Cumberbatch sorry he 'upset people' with comedic non-binary role: 'It backfired'
Fox News
Film actor Benedict Cumberbatch expressed discomfort about a non-binary character he played for laughs in "Zoolander 2," noting he would not take the role today.
In the 2016 comedy, the two main characters, played by Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, meet the character named "All" and immediately have questions. The character, with shaved eyebrows and an androgynous appearance, is asked by Stiller’s character, "So… are you, like, a male model or a female model?"

"All is not defined by binary constructs," Cumberbatch’s character replies.
