Hollywood actor Benedict Cumberbatch is welcoming a Ukrainian family who fled home amid the Russian invasion to his house in the UK. He revealed that the family has made it out of Ukraine, as he spoke about hosting them.

While speaking about the same in a recent interview, Cumberbatch maintained that he will be unable to provide any details to maintain their privacy.

According to Variety, he said, "They've made it out of Ukraine; I'm monitoring their progress every day. Sadly, they are undergoing some medical treatment. To say anything more about that would be invasion of their privacy, and too much about when they're coming and how that's being managed would invade mine. I want to give them some stability after the turmoil that they've experienced, and that's within my home."

He also revealed that he has been assisting other Ukrainian refugees financially by covering their housing costs in the UK. Previously, Benedict also urged his fellow Hollywood actors to step up and use their voices to urge politicians to help those who are suffering amid war during his appearance at the BAFTAs. 

On the work front, Cumberbatch is gearing up for "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness", which hits theatres on May 6, 2022.
