Unusual name for the child

Today, from information reported by sources close to the pair, it became known that the second son of Cumberbatch and Hunter was born on March 3. The boy was called Hal. This is a very unusual name for UK residents, but this state of affairs Benedict and Sophie absolutely did not embarrass. The fact is that the 40-year-old actor is simply obsessed with the work of William Shakespeare. He not only knows by heart some of the plays of the legendary author, but also plays with pleasure in them.

About a year ago, Benedikt worked in the telegram "The Empty Crown". The plot of this tape was built on historical plays of Shakespeare. In one of the series appears young Hal, who was destined to become King Henry V. This character so impressed the actor that he wanted to name the second son the name of the historical person. By the way, this character in the tape "Empty Crown" was played by Cumberbatch's close friend Tom Hiddleston.
