Benedict Cumberbatch has revealed that he sometimes gets self-conscious in public as he can't always get his head around the fact that people he doesn’t know, know who he is.
The Sherlock star told the Telegraph that he tries not to let his fame get in the way of his day-to-day life, "I think the way to normalise is to try to adhere to who and what you did before as much as you can.
"People have this idea that you’re immediately bubble-wrapped and surrounded by security. I’m not. I get on the Tube and I get on my motorbike. I go to galleries and restaurants and museums and I see people, and they take photographs and I say, 'Please don’t,' or whatever seems the appropriate response.
"The strange thing is walking into a room and knowing that people recognise you, and you don’t know who they are. That’s a different energy that you have to get used to, and some days I’m good at that and some days I’m not. And when I’m not I feel self-conscious.
"But I still plough on with my day. I don’t scuttle home. I don’t want to live in a world where I have to build high walls."
