Doctor Strange star Benedict Cumberbatch got the fright of his life during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show when someone dressed as Iron Man popped up out of a table next to him.

The actor was promoting his new movie Avengers: Infinity War on the show and chatting about his dream of starring in a horror film, reports aceshowbiz.com.

He said: “I scare easy.”

Then the masked man appeared beside him. Losing his cool, the Sherlock star screamed: “F**k off... Oh f**k!”.

He then asked the show’s host Ellen DeGeneres: “Am I still alive? This isn’t heaven?” I should know this happens on this show...,” he added. “Robert, you’ve got to stop doing that,” he joked.

Cumberbatch added: “Now you’ve got me on real high alert...”

Cumberbatch appears as Doctor Strange in Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War, which has grossed a record-breaking Rs 80 crore in just two days of release.
