A woman in Paris was left stunned when Benedict Cumberbatch photobombed her outfit video by casually riding on a suitcase in the background with his child. The influencer, known as Selma, said the moment was “not on her bingo card for this year.”
Unexpected Photobomb in Paris
Selma was taking a quick shot of her outfit, where she wore a tracksuit, either before or after her flight, as her suitcase and luggage were nearby. While she expected a standard clip, she noticed Cumberbatch cruising by on his suitcase in the background.
Tagging the location as Paris and with her bio stating she is from there, Selma was likely travelling or heading somewhere for a trip. Cumberbatch, originally from London, may have been on holiday in the French capital.
