“卷福”登報宣佈訂婚 粉絲心碎

If you're going to break hearts, at least be classy about it.

Yes, "Sherlock" star Benedict Cumberbatch is engaged to director and actress Sophie Hunter -- cue the crying emojis from some fans on Twitter -- but the actor revealed the news in a refreshingly humble way.

Instead of releasing a statement through an army of publicists or posting a photo of engagement rings on Instagram, Cumberbatch went old-school and posted an engagement notice in the Wednesday edition of UK paper The Times.

The six-line notice under "forthcoming marriages" is so straightforward, it would be easy to read past it before realizing that it's taking about THE Benedict Cumberbatch: "The engagement is announced between Benedict, son of Wanda and Timothy Cumberbatch of London, and Sophie, daughter of Katharine Hunter of Edinburgh and Charles Hunter of London."

The lack of fanfare isn't unusual for Cumberbatch, 38, and Hunter, 36, as they've kept their romance under the radar. The couple, who met on the set of the 2009 movie "Burlesque Fairytales," weren't seen together publicly until the French Open this year.

Still, the news of a Cumberbatch wedding is a tough pill to swallow for some admirers. As his star rose with roles in "12 Years a Slave" and "Star Trek Into Darkness," the charming actor has become an international heartthrob.

Twitter has (predictably) gone into mourning:

"First George (Clooney). Now Benedict," tweeted one fan. "It's a cruel, cruel world..."

The office is rocked by the Benedict Cumberbatch news this morning. Genuine gasps were heard.

— Becky Gresley-Jones (@BeckyGJ) November 5, 2014 Benedict Cumberbatch is engaged to Sophie Hunter. Millions of girl's hearts are broken. Ok. Mine is too.

— Caleb Clingan (@caleb_clingan5) November 5, 2014 Well Benedict Cumberbatch is off the market. Totally happy for him but inside I'm dying.

— Evelyn Booth (@EvelynBooth) November 5, 2014 Can't believe Benedict Cumberbatch is engaged. *tries calling him again*

— Tiernan Douieb (@TiernanDouieb) November 5, 2014 First George Clooney, now Benedict Cumberbatch. Who are middle-class women going to pretend to fancy now?

— Michael Hogan (@michaelhogan) November 5, 2014 Possibly just received the worst news of my dict Cumberbatch is engaged. Absolutely devastated

"Best wishes to #BenedictCumberbatch and #SophieHunter. May you live happily ever after," said another. "Now excuse me while I cry a river."

According to the Daily Mail, the couple has yet to set a wedding date.如果你要心碎，至少優雅一些。

在英劇《神探夏洛克》中飾演夏洛克一角的“卷福”——本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇（Benedict Cumberbatch）與知名導演、演員蘇菲·亨特（Sophie Hunter）訂婚。該消息也側面從推特（Twitter）上大量粉絲的哭泣emoji表情中得到了印證。然而，此次“卷福”公佈婚訊的方式十分低調，頗令人耳目一新。

沒有召開發佈會，也沒有在Instagram（Facebook旗下的圖片分享應用）上曬婚戒照片，“卷福”選擇了一種非常傳統的方式將喜事昭告天下，他在週三版《泰晤士報》（The Times）上刊出了自己的訂婚啓事。

“婚訊”標題下只有六行字的訂婚啓事言簡意賅，甚至在你還沒意識到這是本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇的婚訊時你就讀完了：“倫敦旺達·康伯巴奇（Wanda Cumberbatch）與蒂莫西·康伯巴奇（Timothy Cumberbatch）之子本尼迪克特，與愛丁堡凱瑟琳·亨特（Katharine Hunter）與倫敦查爾斯·亨特（Charles Hunter）之女蘇菲宣佈訂婚。” 沒有大張旗鼓的宣傳，對於38歲的本尼迪克特和36歲的蘇菲來說並不稀奇，就像他們始終對戀情保持低調。直到今年的法國網球公開賽（the French Open）期間，兩人才第一次在公開場合共同出現，不過他們的初識卻是在2009年兩人合作的電影《滑稽戲童話》中。

然而，對於一些粉絲來說，“卷福”的婚訊卻十分難以接受。隨着在電影《爲奴十二年》（12 Years a Slave）和《星際迷航：暗黑無界》（Star Trek Into Darkness）中的精彩表現，“卷福”儼然已成爲全球影迷心目中的大衆情人。

可以預見到，推特上已經變成了粉絲們的“哀悼場”。

一位粉絲就發表推文說道：“先是喬治·克魯尼（George Clooney)，然後又是卷福。這個世界真的太殘忍了。”

整個辦公室都被“卷福”訂婚的消息震驚了，連深深的嘆息聲都可以聽到。

——網友塔比莎·霍韋（Tabitha Howe）(@TabsHowe)發表於2014年11月5日

也有人說：“最好的祝願給卷福和他的女友。或許你以後的生活會更幸福。但現在很抱歉，我的悲傷逆流成河。”

據《每日郵報》（the Daily Mail）報道，卷福小兩口尚未確定婚期。
