Jimmy Kimmel Gives Benedict Cumberbatch A Honeymoon

Benedict Cumberbatch tied the knot with Sophie Hunter in England on Saturday, but instead of a honeymoon, the actor headed to “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

In appreciation of Benedict’s dedication to his appearance, Jimmy treated the “Imitation Game” star to an impromptu mock honeymoon.

“I appreciate you honoring your commitment, so I thought I could make it more like a vacation for you while you’re here,” the late night host told Benedict, while changing the backdrop to a tropical scene and giving the actor a pina colada.

“Cheers to you, congratulations!” Jimmy toasted. “And then later we’ll make love.”

In addition to his newlywed status, Benedict is about to be a first-time father.

When asked if he and Sophie’s soon-to-arrive little one will take the Cumberbatch last name, Benedict said, “Poor child, I think it’ll have to! That’s kind of the tradition.”

The actor may potentially have even more exciting news after weekend – he’s nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of Alan Turing.
