Benedict Cumberbatch, Emma Watson are adding a new role to their resumes.
“The Imitation Game” actor and “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” actress are among the 11 non-academics agreeing to the role of visiting fellows at University of Oxford.
Visiting fellows are normally appointed for three years, and are encouraged to visit, dine, debate or perform at the college.
Alan Rusbridger, the college’s principal and former editor at the Guardian newspaper, said he hoped the chosen fellows would enhance the cultural life of the college and help bridge the academic community with their various fields.
Other visiting fellows include Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys, film director Beeban Kidron, a neurosurgeon, a judge and a police constable.
