British actor Benedict Cumberbatch says he was "blessed" to spend lockdown in New Zealand with his family, including his elderly parents.
The actor spent alert level 4 lockdown in New Zealand last year after accidentally getting caught in border closures while working on a movie in the country.
Cumberbatch was in New Zealand filming The Power of the Dog with Kiwi film-maker Jane Campion when the country went into lockdown in March last year.
He said he was fortunate to be "stuck" in New Zealand with his family.
