What does Benedict Cumberbatch do when he's all hot and bothered? He takes off his clothes and get's wet for a good cause.
The 38-year-old British actor recently posed for a portrait for the "Give Up Clothes for Good" campaign to help benefit cancer research. Cumberbatch emerges from the water in a soaking white shirt and what makes it even more enticing is that the pic is in black and white. The picture was photographed by Jason Bell for the TK Maxx and Cancer Research U.K. campaign. If you think it might look a tad familiar, you're right. The photo was inspired by Colin Firth's Pride and Prejudice character Mr. Darcy from the 1995 miniseries.

BBC Two have released the first picture of the Bafta-nominated actor as Richard III for upcoming drama The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses....... Whoa.. hold the reigns. The first picture of Benedict Cumberbatch as Richard III has been released. Sitting coyly on a black horse, a black horse, the 38-year-old Sherlock actor will star as the English king in BBC's The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses, an adaptation of four of Shakespeare's historical plays. The series will comprise Henry VI Parts I, II and III, and conclude with Richard III. All four films of The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses will be directed by Dominic Cooke (former artistic director of the Royal Court) and features a range of big-name British talent including Hugh Bonneville, Judi Dench and Keeley Hawes.
