He may be one of the biggest British stars in Hollywood, but Benedict Cumberbatch still feels he has let his parents down by becoming an actor.
The 43-year-old actor said his parents Wanda Ventham and Timothy Carlton ''scrimped and saved'' so that he could get the best education and become a "doctor or lawyer".
''They scrimped and saved to get their only son the very best education possible. And I took that education threw it all in their face and became an actor anyway. To this day, one of the reasons I get out of bed in the morning is to make them proud of me,'' Cumberbatch told The Lady magazine.
