Forget chocolate bunnies for Easter, itâs all about chocolate Benedict Cumberbatch. This life-size homage to the Sherlock actor is made completely out of Belgian milk chocolate and took eight people 250 hours to make.
UKTV commissioned the life-sized chocolate to celebrate the launch of drama content on its on-demand service. In a poll, they asked 2,000 women to name Britianâs âdishiestâ dramatic actor and Cumberbatch won with 12% of the vote.
Standing at a dashing six-feet tall and weighing in at 40kg aka six stone (for Americans thatâs 88 pounds) the sculpture will be on display in all itâs chocolately glory at Westfield Stratford City on Good Friday. Should you visit the edible statue, thereâs already a hashtag to share pics: #chocobatch.
Now, if we could just get Martin Freeman made of peanut butter, then weâd have quite the duo. If you want to find out who else was a contender to be choco-fied, check out the top ten British leads below:
