Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife Sophie Hunter stepped out for a rare date night this Wednesday, attending the New York screening of his latest film, The Thing With Feathers.
A Stylish Couple on the Red Carpet
The actor, 49, looked dapper posing on the red carpet at The Crosby Hotel. He wore a navy double-breasted suit with a white T-shirt, layering the look with a matching button-up jumper. A distinctive black feather was pinned to his blazer, adding a unique touch to his ensemble.
His wife, Sophie Hunter, 47, complemented him perfectly, cutting a chic figure in a black sequin dress and heels. She styled her brunette hair into a voluminous, curled blowout for the occasion. The couple posed together affectionately, with Benedict placing his arm behind Sophie.
Fellow Stars and Film Synopsis
The movie's director, Dylan Southern, was also in attendance, posing for photos with his leading man. Southern kept his look classic in a black T-shirt and trousers, completed with a denim jacket and brown shoes.
Other notable guests included Riverdale star Trinity Likins, 19, who looked effortless in a grey wrap top over a lace vest, paired with a black midi skirt, lace tights, and studded cowboy boots. Lethal Weapon actor Jonathan Fernandes, 41, also made an appearance, dressed in a red and plaid shirt with a silk red tie, a grey waistcoat, and a matching plaid pocket square.
An official synopsis for the film reveals its poignant plot: 'A father and two sons struggle to cope with the sudden loss of their wife and mother.' The family's grief is depicted as a large crow in the drama. The Thing with Feathers hit UK cinemas on October 24.
Family Life and Fatherhood's Impact
Benedict and Sophie, who married in 2015, are parents to three sons: Christopher, 10, Hal, eight, and Finn, six. The Emmy winner has previously opened up about how fatherhood has profoundly changed him.
He revealed that his emotions have become 'paper thin' since becoming a father, which has influenced his acting. He told The Times that this emotional shift changes how you act, making you an 'unfettered channel to stuff that you weren't before.' He admitted that even films like Barbie can make him cry now, while other things make him angrier, showing a new depth of feeling since starting a family.
