midnytemercury:Benedict Cumberbatch speaks at the 2016 GEANCO Gala [x]“He has ascended to higher and higher levels of fame and yet he hasn’t let the distance that celebrity affords destroy his empathy for the marginalized. His compassion for those who suffer, for those who truly, truly suffer seems to swell and grow in conjunction with his legions of fans and admirers.I am not struck by his stardom, but by his steadfast refusal to let his fame eviscerate his humanity. No matter how many cameras are shoved in his face, no matter how many overzealous reporters and fans invade the borders of his cherished private life, Benedict Cumberbatch is committed to being kind. That alone is worth celebrating, that alone is worth honoring.”—Afam Onyema, co-founder of The GEANCO Foundation -- source link
