Benedict Cumberbatch Opens Up About Being a New Dad

Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife Sophie Hunter welcomed their son Christopher back in June and now the actor is opening up about being a new dad!

“I’ve become a father and a husband, and in the right order – just,” the 39-year-old Black Mass actor joked while appearing on The Graham Norton Show (via People). “I might go for a (Cumber) batch of boys!”

Benedict and Sophie got married in February before the birth of their child.

“It’s everything. I have a new life form that needs his father’s help in the world and his mother needs a little help once in a while,” Benedict continued. “It’s what being a parent is about so it’s not an excuse to get away from what I am doing – it’s what I ought to be doing. After three and half hours of Hamlet, I think that’s okay.”
