Cumberbatch's fans are so incredibly intense and loyal to the actor that they even have a set of names for themselves - Cumbercollective being the less offensive one - and as such it's no surprise that news of Benedict Cumberbatch's baby has just about broken the Internet since it was first confirmed last Wednesday!
Barely two months after the official and old-fashioned announcement of his engagement to actress and director Sophie Hunter (they told the news to the world by posting the whole thing in a London newspaper), now the world is at the feet of the "Star Trek: Into Darkness" actor yet again, after he's confirmed there's a new Benedict Cumberbatch baby in the oven!
In the past couple of years, Cumberbatch has become the "it" guy in Hollywood, as it seems every time a person goes to the movies, the actor's in it, particularly when it comes to the geek scene: he's super villain Khan in "Star Trek: Into Darkness," the voice of Smaug and the Necromancer in the "Hobbit" movies, he's rumored to may be part of the upcoming "Star Wars" trilogy and he'll even play a Marvel Cinematic Universe superhero in "Doctor Strange"!
Now, someone else is about to see just how great the actor is in everything: Benedict Cumberbatch's baby!
Hello! Magazine reports that news of Benedict Cumberbatch's baby came last Wednesday, after a representative for the actor officially confirmed to their website that the "Sherlock" actor was expecting his first child with fiancée Sophie.
Of course, it was to be expected that the news of one of Tumblr's favorite actors (along with "War Horse" co-star and fellow Marvel man Tom Hiddleston) was going to drive the Internet crazy; as The Daily Mail reports, just a few minutes after the official announcement came out, the word "Cumber baby" was trending in search engines worldwide!
"There are people out there that seem to create collective nouns for anything to do with the first part of my name," the actor told ABC News not long after he'd announced his engagement last November - of course, the new Benedict Cumberbatch baby is further proof of just how much everyone loves doing that with the actor's funny-sounding name!
