On Monday, Benedict Cumberbatch strolled his initially celebrity main street since affirming his engagement to theater chief Sophie Hunter. The on-screen character popped up at an extraordinary screening of The Imitation Game, facilitated by Chanel, which prognosticators say will probably gain him a best performer Oscar designation. (Cumberbatch plays a closeted British codebreaker whose virtuoso supports an end to WWII.) So with all the consideration concentrated on him, why did he go outdated and affirm his engagement in The Times daily paper in London, creating, last time anyone checked, 29,300 articles to fly around the globe?

We thought it best to ask him straightforwardly.
“It’s what I would have done if I wasn’t famous. It’s a normal thing to do in my country,” he told USA TODAY. “It was a way of telling our friends who we hadn’t been able to tell before (they saw) some grainy shot of a ring on her finger.”
His buddy and co-star Matthew Goode concurred it was extremely "outdated" of Cumberbatch to rundown his advertisement in the Times. "I like that," he said. Goode flew in from the set of The Good Wife to praise the film – and Cumberbatch. "We've both discovered Sophies!" smiled Cumberbatch, getting Goode in an embrace on the press line. (Goode is hitched to Sophie Dymoke.)
Would a lone ranger gathering take after the formal celebrity main street merriments, we pondered? "He's shooting Richard III tomorrow," said Goode. "He's getting on a plane so we won't have much time. We'll destroy it New York possibly, at my spot." The Imitation Game's Allen Leech, who recently wrapped the Christmas scene of Downton Abbey, needs in, as well. "In the event that I get welcomed and I'm there, I would be, extremely content," he chuckled. Us to, sir. Us as well.
