Benedict Cumberbatch says he is considering moving to the US after growing tired of being attacked over his background.
The actor, 36, who shot to fame playing Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's sleuth in the detective drama, was educated at the top private school Harrow.
The War Horse and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy star, whose parents were actors, told the Radio Times that "all the posh-bashing that goes on" had made him consider moving to the US.
"I wasn't born into land or titles, or new money, or an oil rig," he said.
But Cumberbatch said that he had been "castigated as a moaning, rich, public school bastard, complaining about only getting posh roles".
He told the magazine: "It's just so predictable ... so domestic, and so dumb ... It makes me think I want to go to America."

Not that we wouldn't love to have you on this side-of-the-pond, why let the naysayers win? One quote recently posted on Facebook suggesting smiling at those sorry sods. Nothing will show them up as your standing tall for yourself. Good luck. God bless.
And I'd rather he not get involved with the Hollywood crowd.
