$\"\"$ <\/a>Benedict Cumberbatch<\/strong> sure knows how to spice up an evening. The star of Star Trek<\/em> and Sherlock<\/em> (related: when is a new season airing? It has been forevvvvvver) says that he went through a church-flashing phase<\/a> while on a childhood summer trip to Greece:<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to expose myself in front of religious places. I was a very hot, bored boy and was surrounded by people who were older than me who were goading me. So when they got bored or the football went through a stain-glassed window \u2014 not to be returned \u2014 they\u2019d always get me to do pranks. So one day they said, \u2018Go on, go on, go on. Pull your pants down!\u2019 Of course I did.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before his acting career took off, Cumberbatch also spent two years teaching English at a Tibetan monastery.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
