It was a big moment for Benedict Cumberbatch, who inaugurated his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles on Monday. But the legitimate emotion of an actor who sees his talent recognized and celebrated by the profession has been reinforced by two very different reasons.
First, the actor The Power of the Dog spoke of his older sister, Tracy Peacock, who died of cancer at the end of 2021. He paid her a moving tribute, including variety makes the report. “She would have loved that. She was incredibly loyal, supportive, and she would have loved glitz, weirdness, and glamour. She would have just laughed nonstop the whole time, and probably cried. I hope somewhere up there where the real stars shine you are watching this moment now. I’m sure you do. We miss you so much. You remain such a good person and it’s wonderful to have had you in our lives,” he said.

The British comedian continued by evoking the international situation, with the war declared by Russia to Ukraine. “I cannot speak today, at this incredible moment in my life, from this extraordinary platform, without acknowledging the evidence of what is happening in Ukraine and showing my support for the Ukrainian people, my support for the Russian people who are oppose the kleptocracy and idiocy of their leader to try to stop the progression of this atrocity,” he began.
Then the father of three struck a chord. “We have to see what we can do as citizens of the world, citizens of Europe and people who want a better place and a better outcome for this horrible moment, for these people with children, with families who are struggling to survive while rockets are raining down on their cities,” he added.
However, combative, the interpreter of Sherlock Holmes has gone beyond the stage of emotion to call for the mobilization of everyone, beyond moral support. “But now each of us needs to do more than just have thoughts and prayers. We have to act. Benedict Cumberbatch encourages you to “support human rights organisations” as well as “pressure your politicians, your bank, your industries to recognize everything you can do to help”.
