Early years
Cumberbatch was born on 19 July 1976 at Queen Charlotte's Hospital in Hammersmith, London.[2] He grew up in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea with his parents Timothy Carlton (birth name Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch) and Wanda Ventham. His great-grandfather, Henry Arnold Cumberbatch CMG, was the Consul General of Queen Victoria in Turkey. His grandfather, Henry Carlton Cumberbatch, was a decorated submarine officer of both World Wars and a prominent figure of London high society.[3] Cumberbatch is also a distant cousin of astronaut Chris Hadfield, through shared British ancestry.[4]
Cumberbatch was educated at Brambletye School in West Sussex,[5] and had an arts scholarship to Harrow School.[6][7] At Harrow, he was introduced to the works of playwright Sir Terrence Rattigan and began acting in school plays.[8] He was involved in numerous Shakespearean works and made his acting debut as Titania Queen of the Fairies in A Midsummer Night's Dream when he was 13.[9] Cumberbatch's school drama teacher called him "the best schoolboy actor I've ever worked with".[10] He was also part of the rugby team and painted oil canvases.[10][11] Cumberbatch was unexpectedly successful in his GCSE exams, and experienced expectations of further academic success that might lead to attending Oxford or Cambridge University, but he discovered "pot, girls and music" and "got lazy" during his last term at Harrow.[12] After school, he took a gap year to teach English in a Tibetan monastery.[13] He then attended the University of Manchester, where he studied drama.[14] After graduating, Cumberbatch continued his training as an actor at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.[1]
