Rumors Confirmed: Benedict Cumberbatch Is An Otter (24 Pics)

British actor Benedict Cumberbatch is known not only for his amazing role in Sherlock but also for his resemblance to...sea otters. Websites like Benedict vs Otters and Red Scharlach have been collecting doppelganger evidence for quite some time now, and the movie star himself had no other choice but to finally accept it on the Graham Norton Show.

During the show, the host showed Cumberbatch various photos of cute otters and asked him to match their poses, which the famous actor did. Being a good sport, our beloved Sherlock provided us with some awfully cute pictures to look at during those rainy days.

"Is this a casting for my next role as an otter?" the popular actor joked. Then again, he did punch a Teddy Bear in the face a lot of times, so maybe we shouldn't ask him to imitate more of the adorable animals anytime soon.
