Benedict Cumberbatch cried uncontrollably while shooting one of the final scenes of "The Imitation Game" (2014) with Keira Knightley. He couldn't stop crying as he felt that Alan Turing really went through all the sufferings. It was really upsetting for him and couldn't get back to being himself for some time, which he felt wasn't good for acting. When asked if the story of Alan Turing, the wartime codebreaker and all-round maths/computing genius ‘exposed’ as a homosexual and chemically c@str@ted in the early 1950s, made him angry, Cumberbatch replied, "God, yes! I wanted to tip tables over and shout from the rooftops – why the f**k did this happen? Who gives a f**k about government apologies or pardons now? It’s too late. The only person you can apologise to is him, and you can’t because you f***ing ki||ed him. When the interviewer told about getting emotional & crying after seeing the movie , Cumberbatch said, "It’s not embarrassing at all, It’s more embarrassing when you’re actually in it and you have to pull back from being in floods of tears because it looks like you’re crying at your own performance and it’s not that at all. It happened when we were filming, shooting those closing scenes with Keira [Knightley], and I started breaking down. I couldn’t stop crying, just thinking, my God, he went through this. And to get near that understanding – because I’d played him for a while by then… God, it was just really upsetting. And I couldn’t quite get myself back, which isn’t good for acting." (Benedict Cumberbatch's interview with Jane Graham, Big Issue, 2014) P.S: Happy 50th birthday, Benedict Cumberbatch!

Benedict Cumberbatch reveals his father told him he was a better actor than he ever was after seeing him perform at university. ​"Benedict Cumberbatch: My dad worked non-stop, partly to pay for a ludicrously expensive education. That was purely to make me see sense and become a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher, just something of use to society. Continually disappointing them by continuing to be an actor." ​"Claire Foy: A really, really, really good one, though. So, that's good, isn't it, though?" ​"Benedict Cumberbatch: One of my key motivations is to keep them happy and proud. My dad said such a huge thing. He saw me at university, and I was playing Salieri in Amadeus. It was in the car park afterwards, and he said, 'You're better at this than I ever was or ever will be. I can't wait to watch you and support you in what I think is going to be a fantastic career.'"

This one brought some tears. A fight broke out in New Orleans and the young man’s uncle showed up. The way he broke down crying as his uncle embraced him is the type of support all kids need.
