There is a lot of excitement about Benedict Cumberbatch’s spectacles

Benedict Cumberbatch rocked up to the Golden Globes awards bash in a rather swish in a tux and – gasp – a pair of thick-rimmed spectacles. It’s not the first time Cumberbatch has been seen sporting glasses. There have been many other memorable occasions. There are entire Tumblr pages dedicated to Benedict Cumberbatch’s eye-gear. But these particular frames sent a new tremor of excitement through Twitter…

There were words about how words wouldn’t suffice…

Basically he has trumped himself…

The only thing better than Benedict Cumberbatch in a suit is Benedict Cumberbatch in a suit, with glasses.

Naturally, he removed them for his Meryl Streep photobomb. That’s just good sense.
