Benedict Cumberbatch’s take on the ALS ice bucket challenge is one for the books. And one for the Bookmarked folder.
As much criticism as there is about the viral ice bucket challenge campaign to raise money and about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the ALS Association has raised over $50 million (it raised $10 million on Thursday alone). Watching a celebrity get doused in ice cold water is not a very charitable contribution to this world on my part, but Benedonk ends up doing the deed five times—very charitable in its own way. And there’s a chance that you can watch his pecs shivering in slow motion. So there you go. Also, that face at :36 is priceless.
