Benedict Cumberbatch has brought along girlfriend Sophie Hunter to the premier of "The Imitation Game" in NYC on Monday night, their first public appearance together following the announcement of their engagement, as the "Sherlock" actor continues to shun social media.

In an article from People, Benedict Cumberbatch's girlfriend Sophie Hunter is reportedly so adorable that it's hard for fans to stay mad about his engagement.

He was asked how he feels about breaking a lot of hearts by announcing his engagement to girlfriend Sophie Hunter, Benedict Cumberbatch said: "Fine in the sense that I made one person's heart, the most important person's, happy."

According to the magazine, Benedict Cumberbatch made sure that girlfriend Sophie Hunter was comfortable amid the public spectacle.

"While Cumberbatch, 38, was extremely busy at the premiere and afterparty - which was held at Tavern on The Green - he managed to find a few minutes to shower Hunter with affection,' it said.

Meanwhile, the "Sherlock" actor continued to stay away from social media despite the pressures of connecting with his fans.

"Look, I get accused of being overhyped, overexposed, over here and there and everywhere. The truth is [doing press] is part of my job and I work a lot, so I'm going to be talking about my work a lot. Beyond that, I want to live my life and not be in people's faces. There's quite enough of me out there," he told Fast Company.

But the "Sherlock" actor has not totally shut himself off from social media just like the ice-bucket challenge to raise awareness for ALS.

"Reddit is obviously an extraordinary thing. It was so nice to have direct contact in one moment with a group of fans," he said. "I just regret so many things that I don't have enough time for-picking up a musical instrument, painting, drawing, reading outside of fields of work, being on holiday, being in nature. Brilliant though the immediate outreach of social media is, I'm very, very happy to walk away."
