Benedict Cumberbatch Says His Son Is ‘Everything!’ Planning For Baby Number 2?

Nov 26, 2015 07:11 PM EST | By Pam Amantiad

Benedict Cumberbatch's son made his debut when the Academy Award winning actor and his wife, Sophie Hunter brought him out for a stroll around London a couple of months ago.

He has since become a fascinating baby for the "Sherlock" star's fans.

Little Christopher, as he was reportedly named, isn't just fascinating his father's followers. His parents are also very taken with him, of course.

"I've become a father and a husband, and in the right order - just!" the actor was quoted to have told Graham Norton in an upcoming episode this Friday.

Apparently, he's enjoying fatherhood so much that he wants more kids, according to RadioTimes.

"I might go for a Cumber-batch of boys!" he revealed.

His career might be soaring with plays, movies, and TV show filmings left and right, but Benedict Cumberbatch's son makes him want to go home after a very busy day.

"I'm always in a rush to get back," he continued to share. "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. 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 and after three and half hours of 'Hamlet' I think that's okay." 

He previously shared that being a father has helped him improve his performance as Shakespeare's tragic prince.

"I've just become a father and I used to think of have to be childless to be a Hamlet," he previously said. "I thought that it may be a difficult ingredient to play with but it's miraculous - as I'm sure you know being a dad - that your thinking about how you were parented shoots up as well."

Nevertheless, he strives to shed off his onstage persona right away so that he can get back to being little Christopher's father when he gets home from the play.

"I have to shed my skin quite quickly," he further revealed. "I drop it all very very quickly because I have to eat and sleep. That's honestly the truth. And get home, to a newborn."

According to recent reports, Benedict Cumberbatch's son seems to be giving him more inspiration to become a better actor.
