Meet the lady, who stole Benedict Cumberbatch's heart.
This article is about Sophie Hunter, a talented theatre actress and director, who’s been making news this week. Unfortunately, it’s got little to do with her career. It’s because – brace yourselves – she’s the new girlfriend of one Benetton Cabbagepatch… no, Beaglepup Countertop… no, sorry, Benedict Cumberbatch.
Now, because this is how things work around here, this is a rundown on the basics of her career. I know you’re hurting, Cumberbabes, but the woman has got it going on.
Taken. Sorry, ladies and gents.
For starters, she studied French and Italian at Oxford before moving on to the Jacques Lecoq school of theatre in Paris, so we’re calling it now – Miss Hunter is obviously hella smart and worldly.

But wait, there’s more. Like a true Renaissance woman, she is also known for her work in theatre production. She co-founded the Lacuna Theatre Company, is an artistic director of the Boiler Room, is an associate director at the Broadhurst Theatre, and collaborates on marionette and puppetry production with the Phantom Limb company. How does one fit in all that into just 35 years? Time management and pure awesomeness, probably.

Hobbies include horse riding and playing piano, probably not at the same time. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if she could, tbh. Oh and did I mention she looks like this?
Loving the dress, btw.
Yeah. Let’s all try to contain our lesser impulses and just admire the near-perfection that is Sophie Hunter, shall we?
