Ahead of the release of Avengers: Infinity War, stars of the film Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Holland talked to Lucy from the Downtown Radio Entertainment Team about all the memes that they have been the subject of.

Tom joked "I love being memed", while Benedict admitted, "It's part of life, I accept the meme."

Lucy asked Tom, known for playing Spiderman, about the 'frog' meme where people joked he looks like he's holding a frog in his mouth. The actor revealed he actually posted the photo himself, "to show people it was really funny". However the photo still seems to be haunting him, as he revealed that as the weeks went by he would look at himself in the mirror and say "maybe I DO look like I have a frog in my mouth"!

He's now come to accept the 'frog' and says he has loyal fans who defend him!

When it came to Benedict, Downtown Radio's Lucy revealed the meme of John Travolta looking over Benedict's shoulder, which the actor called a "look of love"! You can make your own judgement, take a look below.

The actors also recounted the first time they met, and what they were wearing was pretty unusual!

Avengers: Infinity War is the biggest film that Marvel have ever attempted, bringing together all of our favourite superheroes to the screen together for the first time to battle the evil Thanos. Benedict is back as Dr Strange, and Tom Holland returns as Spiderman.

Now take a look at some of the best films from last year:

20. The Lost City Of Z

2013's The Immigrant is sadly still waiting for a UK release, so praise be to the cinematic gods that James Gray's The Lost City Of Z arrived without delay. Based on the true-life tale of British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), this dense but always gripping biopic is part political drama, part family drama and part adventure.
On discovering the remnants of an indigenous society, Fawcett spent his life trying to prove his Amazonian finds until his unexplained disappearance in 1925. Containing one of the most beautiful scenes of the year, this undseen gem deserves, nay, demands your attention.
