Benedict Cumberbatch could seriously give Jennifer Lawrence a run for the money because when it comes to photobombing, the Sherlock star just proved he always has his A-game on.

At the recent telecast of 2015's Golden Globes, Cumberbatch hilariously jumped into action during a brief sketch involving comedienne Margaret Cho, legendary actress and Into the Woods star, Meryl Streep.

In the skit, Cho plays a North Korean official and magazine correspondent who wanted to snap a photo with Streep. Hosts of the event, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler convinces Michael Keaton to take out his phone and snap a picture of the two.

Keaton gamely took out his phone and got ready to snap the picture, but not before Cumberbatch leapt to his feet to photobomb the two live. It's an award show prank that will definitely go down in Hollywood history as one of the best; but it's not like The Imitation Game star hasn't had any practice.

At last year's Academy Awards, the British actor did a similar prank with another legendary musician, U2's Bono and his band mates.

Ever the life of the party, Cumberbatch also "volunteered" to present with Jennifer Aniston during the ceremony. After hosts announced that whoever raised their hands first will get to present with the Friends alum, Cumberbatch's arm shot up and was called onto the stage.

"Wow, I feel like I've won a competition," he gushed as his fiancé clapped and laughed.

The actor will next be seen in critically acclaimed, The Imitation Game.
