SHERLOCK?S Benedict Cumberbatch has added a new string to his bow ? officiating at gay weddings.
The actor oversaw the civil ceremony of two male pals in Ibiza on Saturday night ? and it went down a treat.
Benedict ? previously voted The Sun?s sexiest man ? revealed it was the first time he had done it, saying he agreed because it was for an old friend.
He said: ?It?s a very private, lovely thing to be asked to do.
?Of course I?m going to make a joke after it if it goes well ? ?I do weddings. Next will be children?s parties and bat mitzvahs?.
?It?s a mainly Jewish and gay audience so hopefully they will be lenient towards me.?
Fellow wedding guest, writer Julie Burchill, raved about the wedding between the two unnamed men.
She said: ?The hotel was lush, the bridegrooms were beautiful, and the man who married them (to each other) was Benedict Cumberbatch ? so yes, it was quite a blast.?
Benedict arrived in Ibiza on Friday ? his 37th birthday ? after finding out he had been nominated for an Emmy for his role in the BBC?s Parade?s End.
And he joked that the bash would be a double celebration.
He said: ?My friend doesn?t even know this.
?I?ve been so busy trying to get luggage from one airport to another, I haven?t even gotten around to telling him. I managed to tell my mum and dad, who are over the moon.?
Benedict took the short break in between filming the new series of Sherlock, which is just about to start shooting the third episode.
He said: ?I just got the script and it?s another early birthday present, because it is amazing.
?I don?t want to hype it too much because we haven?t made it yet but what a script!
?Steven Moffat is brilliant. We shoot in about a week and a half?s time.
?We?re on Sherlock for four weeks into early September. So it?s a good time. It?s a very, very exciting time to be me. I?m really lucky.? The telly star also let slip he will be filming the series for several more years.
Benedict said: ?We?ve agreed to two more series but I could get into trouble for saying that.?
In a recorded message played at the US Comic Con event, he added: ?It?s been so much fun, the scripts have been such a delight. I can?t wait for you to see it.?
And he joked that he would give away how Sherlock survived ?dying? at the end of series two.
He said: ?I?m on holiday at the moment and having for pretty much two years of my life not been able to talk in detail about who I?m playing, what I?m doing, what my character does, and how he does it. I just think, ?F*** it, I?m going to tell you how Sherlock survived?.?
Starting to explain the scenario, the signal on the recorded message then starts to go, and all Benedict can be heard saying is ?cabbage,? ?teabag? and ?helicopter?.
