United Kingdom, Nov. 24 -- Benedict Cumberbatch is worried about the impact of social media on children.

The 49-year-old actor - who has sons Christopher, 10, Hal, eight, and Finn, six, with his wife Sophie Hunter - believes access to the online needs to be better controlled because young people are getting introduced to adult subjects at an increasingly early age.

He told The Independent: "Media is co-opting children so early. And it is because of the devices we have in our hands.

"We have to control the access that they provide to all of us. We can't just go, 'Well, let's give a smartphone to our kids and see what happens.' Look what's happened to an entire generation."

Benedict finds it moving to see how kind and loving his own son...
