Benedict Cumberbatch & Sophie Hunter: A Cancer and a Pisces
Benedict Cumberbatch (Cancer, July 19, 1976) and Sophie Hunter (Pisces, March 16, 1978) married in February 2015, announcing the engagement in The Times in the traditional British fashion. They have three sons — Christopher, Hal, and Finn. Sophie is a theater director and opera director; their shared investment in the performing arts extends across both their careers.
Cancer and Pisces in the Theater
Cancer and Pisces are both Water signs that naturally attune to the emotional and imaginative dimensions of art. Benedict's Cancer is in the empathic range that has made him one of the most versatile British actors of his generation — Hamlet, Dr. Strange, Alan Turing, Sherlock Holmes — each role inhabited with a particular Cancer quality of feeling the interior life of a person across any surface.
Sophie's Pisces is in the direction — the capacity to hold a complete imaginative world and guide performers through it, which requires exactly the Pisces combination of empathy and total absorption in an invented reality. Two Water signs who work on opposite sides of the stage bring mutual fluency to the work that neither sign finds common outside their own element.
