Today it became known that another beloved actor will soon tie the knot: Benedict Cumberbatch announced his engagement to theater director Sophie Hunter.
The important event of the couple became known thanks to the announcement in the Times, which was posted by the groom's parents. It looked like this: “Mr. BT Cumberbatch and Miss SI Hunter. The engagement is announced between Benedict, son of Wanda and Timothy Cumberbatch from London, and Sophie, daughter of Catherine Hunter from Edinburgh and Charles Hunter from London."
Details of the engagement were not disclosed, as little is known about the Cumberbatch-Hunter pair. Earlier it was reported that Benedict and Sophie began dating in 2009, but the paparazzi rarely caught them together. The veracity of the engagement was confirmed by the actor's agent, who also noticed that Benedict had already traveled to Edinburgh to the bride's mother to ask for her daughter's hand in marriage. It is known that Benedict and Sophie met when they both played in the film Burlesque Tales.
This year Benedict Cumberbatch starred in the film "The Imitation Game", for the role in which he is tipped for an Oscar and is busy in the play "Hamlet", tickets for which were sold out a year in advance. The actor also released a calendar with his own photos for his fans.
