Benedict Cumberbatch Officiates Gay Wedding

1. Benedict Cumberbatch officiated his gay friends Seth Cummings and Rob Ridner's wedding in Ibiza. "It's a very private, lovely thing to be asked to do," said the Star Trek and Sherlock actor.

Mashon is the head of the moving image department at the Library of Congress."
