Benedict Cumberbatch came face to face with himself during a taped appearance on British comic Graham Norton's chat show when his Madame Tussaud's waxwork was wheeled out in front of him.

The actor's likeness was unveiled at the famous museum earlier this week (beg20Oct14) and on Thursday night he got the chance to see it up close.

Amazed by the waxwork, Cumberbatch adopted the same pose to the amusement of fellow show guests, including Timothy Spall and singer Adam Levine.

The encounter on the show will air in Britain on Friday night (24Oct14).
