(Benedict Cumberbatch's 'Announces' Engagement in British Newspaper)Entertainment

He may be a 21-century Hollywood star,but Benedict Cumberbatch is really just an old-school chap at heart.The "Sherlock" and "12 Years a Slave" actor eschewed a publicist-penned statement or even a cheeky Instagram photo to announce his engagement to theater director and actress Sophie Hunter,opting for a simple classified advertisement in Britain's The Times.

Single no more:Benedict Cumberbatch's engagement announced in The Times today.

-The Times of London (@thetimes) November 5,2014

The BBC reportss that the low-key,to the-point notice appeared on page 57 of Wednesday's Times,under the heading "Forthcoming Marriages." The decidedly non-celebrity wording is as follows: "Mr B.T. Cumberbatch and Miss S.I. Hunter.The engagement is announced between Benedict, son of Wanda and Timothy Cumberbatch of London,and Sophie,daughter of Katherine Hunter of Edinburgh and Charles Hunter of London."

Cumberbatch's rep also confirmed the news to People in a statement: "I am delighted to confirm this morning's announcement that Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter are engaged."

The actor,who has been in talks to play Doctor Strange,is currently appearing in the WWII-era drama "The Imitation Game" and generating Oscar buzz for his performance as Enigma code-breaker Alan Turing.
