Benedict Cumberbatch has disclosed how becoming a father helped inform his star turn at the Barbican, after giving him a deeper insight into families.
The interview, seen by the Telegraph, will be broadcast in full in a new Sky Arts series of a Lord Bragg’s South Bank Show.
Filmed midway through his run as Hamlet, Cumberbatch said he had been inspired to take on the role by “age, life experience and the opportunity to being a new audience to a 400-year-old piece of brilliance”.
“I’ve just become a father and I used to think of have to be childless to be a Hamlet,” he told Lord Bragg.
“I thought that it may be a difficult ingredient to play with but it’s miraculous - as I’m sure you know being a dad - that your thinking about how you were parented shoots up as well. So that’s all fed into it. It’s serendipity though, that wasn’t as planned as this was.”
When asked how he approached the final scene, he said he could describe the death scene only as a “out breath” of relief before he “immediately starts the self-critiquing”.
But, he said: “I have to shed my skin quite quickly. I drop it all very very quickly because I have to eat and sleep. That’s honestly the truth. And get home, to a newborn.”
He added the play left him “tired and hungry”, confessing he was eating an “awful lot” to keep up with the sheer physical energy it required.
“It’s really thrilling to think it might be getting to a new audience,“ said the actor.“That’s a terrific thing and that does stay with me.”
“I’m sure you know being a dad - that your thinking about how you were parented shoots up as well.”
When asked whether he had felt a “biological clock” ticking to play Hamlet, who is traditional a younger man, Cumberbatch told the programme: “Very possibly. Having now done it, very possibly. I didn’t start out with a bucket list if great roles I wanted to play, but of course it’s something I found a lot of other people were coming up to me and asking. It was more a constant voice outside of my head saying ‘you should give this a go’. But having done it I completely understand why a year and a half ago when I said I was going to do it, people said ‘oh, good luck’. It’s huge, it’s just huge.”
The full programme will show extensive clips of the play, as well as seeing Cumberbatch visit an East London school to view their own performance of Hamlet.
It is due to be broadcast on the South Bank Show on Sky Arts on Wednesday, at 9pm.
