He's hailed a national treasure but it seems not everyone shares the popular opinion of Benedict Cumberbatch as the talented actor learned the hard way on Monday evening.

Benedict, 39, was invited onto Jimmy Kimmel's chat show - Jimmy Kimmel Live! - for a segment which sees A-listers read out mean tweets about themselves.

The Hamlet star joined Kristen Bell and Jeff Bridges in reciting the catty insults on Monday night's episode but in true Benedict-style, he outshone his fellow celebs, nailing his response.

Showing them how it's done: Benedict Cumberbatch nailed his response to a Twitter troll when he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday night's episode

'If you find Benedict Cumberbatch attractive, I'm guessing you'd also quite enjoy staring directly at a cat's anus,' he said.

The father-of-one chuckled to himself before taking a moment to perfect his response.

Shutting down the Twitter troll, he said defiantly: 'Yeah, well someone did, and she put a ring on it,' as he held up his band-clad wedding-ring finger.

'Someone did find me attractive and she put a ring on it': Benedict, 39, successfully shot down the mean tweet by reminding the troll he is a married man. Here he is pictured with wife Sophie Hunter at the Burberry Prorsum at London Fashion Week on September 21

The Sherlock star was of course referring to his wife Sophie Hunter whom he married in February this year after a 17-year friendship.

The couple welcomed their first child together - son Christopher - in June.

Benedict recently insisted his sex symbol status is a 'reflection and appreciation' of his work, adding that no one ever found him attractive until he starred as the titular detective in Sherlock.

He said: 'I was never seen as sexy by anyone until Sherlock came along and so I understand [being seen as a sex symbol] more as a reflection and appreciation of the work, rather than my own natural magnetism.

'I certainly remember when I was an adolescent and despairing why girls weren't interested in me.

'I've always maintained that Sherlock is sexy and people are merely projecting his cold, brilliant, charming, flawed self onto me.'
