Marvel superhero Doctor Strange, was quick to shut down any notion that he was a showbiz “luvvie” on BBC Radio 2 today.The actor heard an audio clip of co-star Tom Holland doing an impression of him, in which he repeatedly used the word “darling”.Benedict, 45, appeared on the Zoe Ball Breakfast Show this morning to promote his new film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

The Sherlock actor has appeared in multiple Marvel films alongside Spider-man actor Tom, 25, who previously appeared on the BBC Radio 2 programme earlier this year.

Zoe, 51, played Benedict a clip of Tom from when he was on her show back in February.In the clip, Zoe showed Tom an audio recording of the Doctor Strange star’s hilarious impression of him, which saw the actor raising his voice several notches higher.

Earning a laugh from Tom, Zoe then asked the star if he could do an impression of Benedict. After a brief pause, Tom said: “Err… Ok,” before adopting a significantly posher accent. “Benedict Cumberbatch,” he said, getting into character. “Tom, Darling, would you like to run the lines before we start shooting, darling?”Back in the studio today, Zoe could be heard laughing and called the impression “fabulous”.
