Actor spends £7k on Kick Ass-inspired statue

Hollywood actor, Benedict Cumberbatch, has spent £7000 on a statue by Tristan Schoonrad, which is inspired by the Boy Soldier figure seen in the 2013 movie 'Kick Ass 2'.

According to The Daily Telegraph newspaper, Benedict has ordered a gold version of the anti-war sculpture to stand in the office of his production company Sunny March.

''I'm really pleased that Benedict Cumberbatch shares in Schoony's unique vision. It perfectly highlights the horrors of war and destruction.'' -  Leontia Reilly, gallery's founder said.

Other Hollywood stars who own the art work include, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and Blur frontman Damon Albarn.
