LONDON, ENGLAND – October 30, 2015 (Gephardt Daily) — When it comes to helping those less fortunate, actor Benedict Cumberbatch doesn’t mince words.
The Telegraph is reporting that the actor, who is starring in “Hamlet“ in London’s West End, told the audience, “F— the politicians,” during a plea for support of the Syrian refugee crisis at the end of his show.
While asking for donations to aid Syrian refugees from a London stage, Cumberbatch chastised the administration, saying it was an “utter disgrace of the British government” for not doing all that’s in their power to end the trouble.
Cumberbatch traditionally chats and answers questions from his audiences after his stage performances, but recently he has been focused on the Syrian refugee crisis.
