Benedict Cumberbatch has revealed he regrets his controversial role in Ben Stiller's Zoolander 2 where he played a non-binary fashion model.

According to the Hobbit actor, his role as a non-binary character simply called “All” in Ben Stiller’s 2016 comedy Zoolander 2 left him literally apologising for it. In fact, he may never take a similar role ever again.

But with plenty of major characters to his name, there’s one particularly controversial one Cumberbatch would never play again, and he had to ‘apologise a lot for’. And for fans, it’s one you might instantly remember – All in Zoolander 2.

Benedict Cumberbatch is, as you already know, quite a celebrated actor. He's been nominated for an Oscar twice, and he's beloved by many for his turns as Dr. Strange in the MCU — not to mention his role as the titular detective in the BBC series Sherlock.

Benedict Cumberbatch was riding a high going into 2016. He was a wildly popular actor and sex symbol, and also noted for being a nice person. But then he threw a bucket of cold water on all that by taking a role widely seen as being offensive to non-binary people.
