Benedict Cumberbatch & His Wife Sophie Hunter Go Shopping in Venice Beach

Benedict Cumberbatch spends some time shopping on the beach with his wife Sophie Hunter on Monday (August 8) in Venice, Calif.

The 40-year-old Imitation Game actor and his wife, 38, were spotted holding hands and wrapping their arms around each other as they walked.

It was recently announced that Benedict will both star in and produce a drama/thriller called Rogue Male, set to begin production in 2017, according to The Telegraph.

The film will be based on the 1939 novel of the same name, which tells the story of an Englishman who flees after being tortured for trying to assassinate a dictator.

Benedict described the book as “the most treasured of English novels.”
