Except we all know things are a little bit different in the world of Benedict Cumberbatch – and after all, thousands of fans can't be wrong, can they...?

Fans celebrated by donating tens of thousands of pounds to charities (including The Prince's Trust via a page set up by fan forum Cumberbatchweb) and, of course, by posting stuff like this...

"Yeah! And he’s only 38 years old!" Happy 38th Birthday, Benebict! #HappyBirthdayBenedictCumberbatch pic.twitter.com/mWR4lPskTA
