Cumberbitches, show yourselves, and prepare for some very sad news. The lanky British object of your affection, Benedict Cumberbatch, is engaged to be married and therefore will be unavailable to fulfill your greatest fantasies now or any time in future. That’s right, he’s marring 36-year-old theatre director and actress Sophie Hunter, and he made his announcement like all rich English people: in The Times.
“The engagement is announced between Benedict, son of Wanda and Timothy Cumberbatch of London, and Sophie, daughter of Katherine Hunter of Edinburgh and Charles Hunter of London.”
Benedict is listed as “Mr. B.T. Cumberbatch” and Sophie is “Miss S.I. Hunter” – so dignified, right? There’s no date for the wedding, obviously (and it wouldn’t really be in the paper even if there was), but at least you all have time to come to terms with this news and prepare yourself for a bleak, Benedict-less future. Sorry, ladies (and any applicable gents).
Mazel tov Sherlock! *ducks*
I kind of get some of the Unconventionally Handsome Fangirl thing, but it is INSANE for Cumber(I don’t even remember how it’s supposed to end any more! ) whatshispickle.
Whoop! Sorry, Kathy, didn’t see your comment before I posted. It seems as though it is just you and I who will be attending the engagement party.
Woo hoo! I’ll bring cornichons!
Mazel, Sherlotter! You go get that Oscar… I mean lady!
damn guys you let another one get away! (and here l thought he was gay)
I don’t get the hysteria. He is so weird looking, in the worst possible ways, and he’s also quite the prick.
He is a great actor, you have to give him that one.
Oh, dear Lord. Do you hear that? The wailing and gnashing of teeth… Oh dear I do believe they are the fan girls. Though it is sad we do have… 3,376,791,855 men ( minus one Cumberbatch of course) on the earth , so it can’t be that bad. Besides I am happy for him. He can finally start that family he always wanted. Good for you Benedict, good for you.
