Benedict Cumberbatch joined his wife Sophie Hunter on the red carpet at the London premiere of his latest movie, The Thing with Feathers. 

The 49-year-old actor, set to portray a widowed father in an upcoming drama, appeared stylish in a khaki suede blazer as he posed for photos with Sophie, who is 47, before the screening. 

He teamed the look with a chocolate brown button-up shirt layered over a white vest top, paired with smart black trousers. 

To complete the ensemble, Benedict stepped out in a pair of shiny black loafers as he cosied up to his elegant wife for the cameras. 

Sophie cut a chic figure in a bronze satin midi dress, which featured a high neckline and ruched detailing down the side. 

She added height with white mesh slingback heels and styled her brunette locks into a voluminous, flicky blowout.

Also making an appearance were Benedict’s on-screen sons, played by real-life brothers Henry and Richard Boxall. 

Young Henry looked adorable in a blue denim suit, while Richard opted for a smart navy blue two-piece as they joined the actor for a series of sweet snaps on the red carpet. 

The movie’s director, Dylan Southern, and writer, Max Porter, were also in attendance. 

Dylan kept it classic in a black blazer and navy trousers, while Max stood out in a black-and-blue pinstripe co-ord. 

An official synopsis for the movie reads: ‘A father and two sons struggle to cope with the sudden loss of their wife and mother. As they try to move on with their lives, the family also has to face grief, which is depicted as a large crow.’ 

The Thing with Feathers is set to hit UK cinemas on October 24.  

Benedict’s outing at the premiere comes after he and Olivia Colman gave fans an insight into the weirder side of fame as they appeared on an episode of Dish from Waitrose last month. 

The Crown star, 51, spilt the beans on some of her oddest fan encounters, including being asked for selfies while on the toilet ‘having a wee’ – admitting fans even knock on the door when she’s in the cubicle.

Meanwhile, the Sherlock actor revealed Halloween is his favourite time of year as he can wear a disguise and not be recognised.

Co-stars in Jay Roach’s dark comedy drama The Roses, the actors joined hosts Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett OBE to discuss the film, the art of acting drunk, getting into character, and what it means to feel as though you were born to act. 

The Lost Daughter actress went on to reveal the trickier parts of being famous, as she recalled being approached by fans in rather bizarre places.

She said: ‘Or, having a wee. “Can we have a selfie?” Oh yeah, I’ve had knocks on the door, in the cubicle door, in the loo. And when you’re washing your hands.’ 

Meanwhile, the Doctor Strange star revealed Halloween is his favourite time of year post-fame as he can move around freely and unrecognised.  

‘My favourite is Halloween,’ he said. ‘I went as Chewbacca last year and it was just great.’

Benedict recalled that his mask for the character was so prominent that no one could tell who he was, so he was really able to let loose and enjoy himself.  

‘I was dancing along to the music that a Michael Jackson impersonator was playing, but I couldn’t really see where I was,’ he added.

He went on: ‘The Michael Jackson impersonator was getting really angry ’cause I was sort of coming towards his cardboard, and people were turning from focusing on him to dancing Chewbacca there. 

‘And, and he was apparently going, ‘Hee hee! Hee hee!’ Somewhere someone might have that on-the, the t’interweb.”

The British actor continued: ‘But you know, I think, to be honest, when it comes to this sort of thing, or a premiere or just, you know, being in a theatre or something, you’re in a theatre, that’s the natural habitat of an actor, even if you’re the other side of it-and in the audience, and I don’t bother disguising myself. 

‘With my family, I try to because I do not want the attention drawn on them. I want them to have the right to their privacy-and their time. 

‘But apart from that, I just have to own it. It takes an effort, though. 

‘It’s very weird walking into a room and everyone- well, a lot of people might recognise you, you don’t know anyone.’ 

Elsewhere, Olivia admitted she doesn’t go out very much nowadays and discussed her decision to leave London.

She said: ‘Well, actually moving out of London, and I never fell out of love with London, I love it. 

‘But, um, it has helped me enormously. 

‘To be able to go to big spaces where people don’t look at you. 

‘And so now I feel like I can come back years later to London. I’m, I’m a bit braver. 

‘I’ve managed to knock some of the fear out of myself.’
