Running Wild when the broadcaster paid tribute to his late grandfather.Cumberbatch was one of the latest high profile stars to join the intrepid explorer, this time on an excursion around the Isle of Skye.The actor, whose grandfather Henry Carlton Cumberbatch was a submarine officer during WWI and WWII, became emotional when Grylls surprised him at the end of the episode.Grylls had “called in a favour” so that Cumberbatch could see and climb aboard a vessel similar to the one that his grandfather would have gone on during the wars.“My grandfather’s been playing in my mind quite a bit over the past couple of days and it felt like a very immediate connection to him and to see it was just an, ‘Oh my god shock moment’,” Cumberbatch reflected of the moment on camera.A post shared by Bear Grylls OBE (@beargrylls)He was filmed in tears saying, “I’m so moved by it” as the pair approached the sub from a larger boat.A further surprise was that Cumberbatch was allowed to enter the vessel with Grylls – something that is very rarely permitted for civilians.The 46-year-old actor’s grandfather retired from the Royal Navy in 1945 and died at the age of 65 in January 1966.On Instagram, Grylls wrote: “A powerful moment of raw emotion for Benedict Cumberbatch as we ended our @RunningWildwBG journey… Benedict’s grandfather had commanded a submarine in WW2 and I felt proud to be able to involve the @RoyalNavy & @RoyalMarines to help us end the adventure… thank you so much!….”In other news, earlier this year Cumberbatch was confirmed to be playing folk singer Pete Seeger in the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic Complete Unknown. 

Bob Dylan is lending his personal touch to James Mangold’s upcoming film about the timeless music icon.

According to NME, Mangold also noted that the film will not be a “typical biopic”, it being focused on a specific time in Dylan’s life.“It’s a kind of ensemble piece about this moment in time”, he explained, “the early 60s in New York, and this seventeen year old kid with $16 in his pockets hitchhikes his way to New York to meet Woody Guthrie who is in the hospital and is dying of a nerve disease”.“And he sings Woody a song that he wrote for him and befriends Pete Seeger, who is like a son to Woody”, the director went on.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Timothée Chalamet’s Bob Dylan movie, “A Complete Unknown,” is supposed to kick off filming in August, but don’t call it a Bob Dylan biopic. During a recent appearance on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast (via IndieWire), the film’s director, James Mangold, said “A Complete Unknown” is “not really a Bob Dylan biopic” but a movie about “a very specific moment” in the 1960s folk scene of New York City. The film’s specificity is one reason the real Bob Dylan “has been so supportive of us making it,” the filmmaker reasoned. “The best true-life movies are never cradle to grave but they’re about a very specific moment,” Mangold said. “In this case, it might be presumptuous to call it Altman-esque, but it’s a kind of ensemble piece about this moment in time, the early ’60s in New York, and this 17-year-old kid with $16 in his pockets hitchhikes his way to New York to meet Woody Guthrie who is in the hospital and is dying of a nerve disease. He sings Woody a song that he wrote for him and befriends Pete Seeger, who is like a son to Woody, and Pete sets him up with gigs at local clubs and there you meet Joan Baez and all these other people who are part of this world.”

He was arrested after police found his DNA on the intercom.
