Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch was slightly surprised to bump into his arch-enemy Moriarty at Comic Con – but even though he yelled “GET OUT”, it seems the meeting went better than you’d expect.


Rob Moriarty (no relation to Andrew Scott’s master criminal Jim Moriarty) managed to get a photo with Cumberbatch at London Film & Comic Con. But the film and TV star was apparently pretty taken aback when Rob revealed his surname.

Today #BenedictCumberbatch finally met his match at #LFCC @cumberbatchweb. His reaction to my surname was priceless. "What? NO! GET OUT!"? pic.twitter.com/1ecFdPAxuI — Rob Moriarty (@robmoriarty) July 29, 2017

Moriarty wasn’t the only one to get a snap with Cumberbatch. In fact, the Doctor Strange star spent his Saturday playing along with whatever his fans thought up.

So this happened today. And it was his idea, not mine! Most awesome guy on the planet. #BenedictCumberbatch #LFCC @Showmasters pic.twitter.com/i4oTvFRIX0 — Michelle Zajac (@HoyaMichelle) July 29, 2017
