テレビドラマ『シャーロック』や、映画『スター・トレック イントゥ・ダークネス』などに出演したイギリスの人気俳優、ベネディクト・カンバーバッチさん（38）が11月5日、婚約を発表した。相手は舞台演出家のソフィー・ハンターさん（36）。
話題になってるのは、その発表方法。なんと、新聞「タイムズ」のロンドン版の告知欄に自ら投稿するという、粋なやりかたでの発表となった。文面もイギリスの習慣を踏まえた、古風なものとなっている。
MR B.T カンバーバッチ
MISS S.I ハンター
ロンドンのティモシー・カンバーバッチとワンダの息子、ベネディクトと、ロンドンのチャールズ・ハンター、エジンバラのキャサリン・ハンターの娘、ソフィーの婚約を発表する。
ハフポストUK版では、タイムズの紙面の一部を掲載。うっかり読んでいたら見逃してしまいそうな欄だ。
日本でも、賞賛する声が挙がっている。
