You've seen the photos now watch the video of the moment Benedict Cumberbatch photobombs U2 on the Oscars red carpet.

Set to the theme of Jaws, the Sherlock actor can be seen 007ing it across the red carpet before timing his leaps perfectly to photobomb the band. And the best part is, Bono didn't have a clue.

The handsome Sherlock Holmes star managed to clear U2's frontman by several feet - which is impressive enough but the form with his arms and facial expression made it one of the best picture-pranks we've ever seen and it's even better in video.

U2 remained totally unaware of Cumberbatch's star jumping antics behind them as Max Clendaniel from ShortsTV caught the exact moment that he decided to pull the stunt.

If it teaches us anything it's that when at the Oscars ceremony nobody should do anything half-arsed when it comes to selfies or photobombs because it's unlikely that anyone will top this.

Though if anyone could, it'd be frequent red carpet faller and photobomber Jennifer Lawrence, so game on J-Law.

It doesn't matter that it actually happened nearly two weeks ago - it's the showbiz video of the YEAR!
