"Sherlock" star Benedict Cumberbatch is engaged to director and actress Sophie Hunter -- cue the crying emojis from some fans on Twitter -- but the actor revealed the news in a refreshingly humble way.

《神探夏洛克》中饰演夏洛克一角的“卷福”——本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇与知名导演、演员苏菲·亨特订婚。该消息也侧面从推特上大量粉丝的哭泣emoji表情中得到了印证。然而，此次“卷福”公布婚讯的方式十分低调，颇令人耳目一新。



Instead of releasing a statement through an army of publicists or posting a photo of engagement rings on Instagram, Cumberbatch went old-school and posted an engagement notice in the Wednesday edition of UK paper The Times.

The six-line notice under "forthcoming marriages" is so straightforward, it would be easy to read past it before realizing that it's taking about THE Benedict Cumberbatch: "The engagement is announced between Benedict, son of Wanda and Timothy Cumberbatch of London, and Sophie, daughter of Katharine Hunter of Edinburgh and Charles Hunter of London."

The lack of fanfare isn't unusual for Cumberbatch, 38, and Hunter, 36, as they've kept their romance under the radar. The couple, who met on the set of the 2009 movie "Burlesque Fairytales," weren't seen together publicly until the French Open this year.

Still, the news of a Cumberbatch wedding is a tough pill to swallow for some admirers. As his star rose with roles in "12 Years a Slave" and "Star Trek Into Darkness," the charming actor has become an international heartthrob.
