The woman couldn’t quite believe her eyes when the familiar face was spotted cruising by on his suitcase – and you might just know who he is if you take a second glance
We live in a time where it’s common to spot a familiar face in the same place as you. It can happen when you least expect it, perhaps when you’re gazing at the sunset in a park or you clock an actor being escorted to his car.
But when you’re trying to capture a moment, whether you’re a content creator or not, it’s highly unlikely a famous person will just casually photobomb your footage. Luckily for one woman that’s exactly what happened as she claimed the moment was “not on her bingo card for this year”.

The influencer, known as Selma, was taking a quick shot of her outfit where she donned a tracksuit, either before or after her flight as she had her suitcase and luggage nearby.
But while she expected it to be a standard clip, she couldn’t believe her eyes when she noticed Benedict Cumberbatch casually cruising by on his suitcase in the background with his child.
Tagging the location as Paris and with her bio stating she’s from there, it’s likely Selma would have either been travelling or trekking somewhere for a trip away from home.
While Benedict, who is originally from London, might have been on a holiday in the French capital. The clip of the actor in the background shows him casually cruising by on the suitcase.
Selma wrote on her video: “POV: Being photobombed by Benedict Cumberbatch using his best free will by flying on a suitcase was not on my bingo card for this year.”
What is Benedict Cumberbatch doing now?
The 50-year-old, who is originally from Hammersmith, is currently active across new film, TV and environmental projects after his milestone birthday in July this year.
He stars in the A24 TV series White Smoke and the thriller movie Last Flight, directed by Babak Anvari. He also featured in the climate-focusing documentary/film project How to Live on Earth, which premiered earlier this year.
Benedict serves as an executive producer on projects like The Roses. The actor remains active as the President of LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art), where he recently participated in student Q&As.
The dad-of-three has been in major roles since 2000 where he appeared as two separate guest roles in Heartbeat, Freddy in Tipping the Velvet (2002), Edward Hand in Cambridge Spies (2003) and Rory in the ITV comedy drama series Fortysomething (2003).
He also featured in Spooks and Silent Witness. In 2004, he landed his first main part in television as Stephen Hawking in Hawking, where he was nominated for the BAFTA TV Award for Best Actor and won the Golden Nymph for Television Films – Best Performance by an Actor.
The actor later provided Hawking’s voice in the first episode of the television series Curiosity. And he also appeared in the BBC miniseries Dunkirk as Lieutenant Jimmy Langley.
