Benedict Cumberbatch's Hilarious Mother's Day Tributes on SNL

Perhaps Leonardo DiCaprio said it best: "My mother is a walking miracle."

Let's face it, there's nothing more endearing than hearing an actor gush about his true leading lady, the woman who gave birth to him. Leonardo himself serves as a prime example. Not only has he repeatedly praised his mom, Irmelin Indenbirken, but he's also been known to bring her as his "date" for big nights like the Golden Globes. In fact, after winning the award for Best Actor at the 2016 BAFTAs, the Revenant star took the opportunity to highlight the most important person in the room to him. 

"I would not be standing up here if it wasn't for this person," he told the audience, referring to his mom. "I didn't grow up in a life of privilege. I grew up in a very rough neighborhood in East Los Angeles…. This woman drove me three hours a day to a different school to show me a different opportunity."

But Leonardo isn't the only Hollywood actor that has expressed adoration for Mom. Justin Timberlake has explained why he's so, um, in sync with mother Lynn Bomar Harless while Ryan Gosling has said mom Donna Gosling and sister Mandi Gosling are the reason he's more than just Ken. 

"I grew up in a family of strong women and I owe any capacity I have to understand women to my mother and big sister," he told The Sun. "They taught me to respect women in a way where I've always felt a strong emotional connection to women, which has also helped me in the way I approach my work as an actor."
