   Benedict Cumberbatch photobombs Meryl Streep and Margaret Cho at the Golden Globes 2015

Benedict Cumberbatch was favorite to win Best Actor in a Drama at the Golden Globes 2015 last night, but the award went to Eddie Redmayne instead. Still, Cumberbatch delivered a couple of very funny moments through the ceremony, including a new photobomb.

If at the Oscars 2014, his spontaneous photobomb of U2 on the red carpet went viral in minutes, this time it was rehearsed. Yes, Benedict knows that his fans love him when he’s acting all silly and he agreed to do it again.

It happened during Margaret Cho’s segment as a North Korean general who just became the newest member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and has a vested interest in the movie and TV industry.

At one point, as you can see in the video and the GIFs below, Cho mingled with the audience and pointed at Meryl Streep, asking for a photo with her. As one of the camera guys got a phone ready, Cumberbatch, who was seated at the table next to Meryl’s, simply jumped up and got himself in the frame.

You can see that he’s making the same face as he did at the Oscars: he’s upping his photobombing game by agreeing to do it on demand as well, but he needs to inject a bit more variety into it. That is, if he plans on doing this again.

Even so, he’s become the king of Internet again.
