I remember we talked somewhere (I couldn’t find it!) about random gossip sites publishing rumors about a supposedly past BC-Johnson romance but now it seems it’s on big UK tabloids!

American star Dakota has had far fewer high profile romances than Gwyneth Paltrow's ex-husband, but she was previously linked to another famous Brit, Benedict Cumberbatch, in 2013.

I found it funny because they were just photographed once before doing a movie together and with other people with them!

She wasn't really well-known at the time and was only photographed because Benedict was with her. We later found out that they were both in Black Mass. Now that she's more famous, people are looking up old photos of her and finding the ones with Benedict.

I think by then she was cast in that Grey movie so people were talking a lot about her. They identified both of them and made it look it was just they two having a date even when it was clear they were part of a group of people. I think David Birkin, who is also an actor, was also there but completely ignored. He wasn’t so popular or talked about as the other two. Also he is part of famous Birkin family whom apparently is related to BC’s wife.

EDITED: I committed the error of trying to comfirm if Sophie Hunter and the Birkins were family and searched them on google! I sometimes forget the crazies exist!

Anyway this old article about young Cumberbatch is cute and mentions the theme:

Two spaces to the right of Cumberbatch stands David Birkin, the cousin of Sophie Hunter, the playwright who Cumberbatch married in February. Birkin, a nephew of the actress and singer Jane Birkin, is now an artist, but at the time of the photograph perhaps believed he would become a famous actor, having secured a television role in Star Trek: The Next Generation as the young Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
