There is no doubt that Benedict Cumberbatch is a master of disguise. He can wear any look and convince us that he really is that person. the Doctor strange actor recently made the cover of Magazine W in a weird and funny avatar that has convinced internet users that he is Ali G – Alistair Leslie Graham – a satirical fictional character created and played by comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.

Cumberbatch is one of the 10 Hollywood stars included in Magazine Wof the number “Best performances 2023”. He posed for the photo looking very serious in a bright yellow shirt with gray Hermes patterns, a matching yellow bob and a pair of brown Ray-Ban sunglasses.

He also held a bunch of daisies in one hand, the other clenched in a fist and resting against his face. The general appearance contrasts sharply with its film appearance in Spider Man: No Path Home, where he reprized his role as the mighty wizard, Doctor Strange.

Netizens appreciated the 45-year-old’s look, comparing him to Ali G.

“Ali G vibes 💛,” one person wrote on Instagram, while another commented, “God, I love Ali G”.

“Can we have Benedict on the cover every month?” Thank you, ”someone else wrote.

On Twitter, too, people were quick to point out the resemblance – intentional or not. After the cover photos were shared by the “Film Updates” Twitter account, there were plenty of retweets, and here are some reactions:
