WATCH: Benedict Cumberbatch Changes His Name For Hilarious Jimmy Kimmel Skit

"Hi, I'm Gary Miller..."

Benedict Cumberbatch is one of the nicest guys in show business and we wouldn’t change him for the world… Jimmy Kimmel on the other hand, he wanted to alter the most distinct thing about the actor – his name. 

“His parents should get an Oscar for naming him that”, Kimmel tells the audience.

Cumberbatch, who now has leggings dedicated to him, is nominated for an Academy Award for his incredible performance in The Imitation Game. 

We don’t want to jinx the person that will be presenting that particular award but no one wants another Idina Menzel/Adele Dazeem disaster.

(Of course we do, thank you John Travolta).

The Sherlock star agrees to testing out a few new identities, which proves hilarious viewing.

Our favourite? “I’m… the Hamburglar”.

Benedict, we love you. That is all.
