Benedict Cumberbatch, the British actor who plays Sherlock Holmes in the BBC series, has struck up a “very close” friendship with Lydia Hearst, the daughter of newspaper heiress Patty Hearst, it has emerged.
The 35 year-old, who has won hordes of fans in the hit series based on the stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, has been seen at numerous Hollywood parties with the 27-year-old model over the past month. The pair were seated together at the 20th annual Elton John Aids Foundation Oscars Academy Awards viewing party on Sunday night, it was reported. It comes after the former "Supermodel of the Year”, who uses the surname Hearst in her professional life but was born Hearst-Shaw, was observed with Cumberbatch last month at a Vanity Fair party Cecconi's, the Hollywood restaurant.
The pair reportedly arrived and left together and she happily posed for pictures with Cumberbatch's arm wrapped around her. On Wednesday, a spokesman for Cumberbatch confirmed his client was “very close” friends with Miss Hearst, whose mother was kidnapped in the 1970s.
