Benedict Cumberbatch: Curly Blessing
The nickname for British actor Benedict Cumberbatch is "Curly Blessing", or 卷福 (juan fu).
"Juan" in Mandarin means curly, referring to Cumberbatch's hairstyle in the hugely successful drama series, Sherlock Holmes, where he plays the title character. "Fu" means blessings, which refers to the first syllable of the Chinese translation of Holmes, 福尔摩斯 (fu er mo si).
Put together, you get "Curly Blessing."
