Benedict Cumberbatch

Benedict Cumberbatch admitted that he struggled to act alongside Meryl Streep when they did a scene together for their latest movie.

The pair star together in August: Osage County, which is a big screen adaptation of the play, as part of an all star cast.

But when it came to doing scenes together Cumberbatch found himself a little in awe of the Oscar winner.

Speaking to the Press Association the actor said: "We had one scene around the table with Meryl and I just couldn't act. I was in awe of her.

"She is spellbinding to watch. She really is extraordinary. If you ever have the luck to watch her, she is fantastic."

Ewan McGregor, Julia Roberts, Chris Cooper, Abigail Breslin and Juliette Lewis all star in the movie which is directed by John Wells.

This is just one of the projects that we will be seeing Cumberbatch star in this year as Twelve Years A Slave, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and Star Trek Into Darkness are all on the horizon.

He is currently filming The Fifth Estate which sees him taking on the role of Julian Assange.
