Benedict Cumberbatch: Fame won't help with dating Jun 13, 2012, 10:01 GMT (M & C)




The British actor - who will portray villain Kahn in forthcoming 'Star Trek 2' and previously appeared in 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and War Horse' - is currently single after splitting with girlfriend Anna Jones, who he dated following the demise of his 10-year relationship with Olivia Poulet but thinks his celebrity status will only make him more awkward in social situations.

He said: 'I'm not confident in social situations, just going up to someone in a bar is and saying 'hi' is going to be even more difficult because they won't know the real me.

'They will just know me as a fictional person I play on the screen.'

Benedict - who is best known for portraying fictional detective Sherlock Holmes in drama series 'Sherlock' - was 'terrified' when he first arrived on set for 'Star Trek 2' but had an amazing experience and says his castmates, including Zachary Quinto and Tom Hardy - made him feel at ease.
