SHERLOCK star Benedict Cumberbatch outed himself as an Andy Murray super-fan just moments after the ace’s win, telling him: “Oh man . . . it must be such an amazing moment.”
The usually laid-back actor, 39, was overcome by Murray Mania as he dashed to be one of the first to congratulate the two-time champion.
Benedict, with glamorous wife Sophie Hunter, 38, told him: “It was brilliant, it was really inspiring to watch.”
Andy, 29, returned the favour, telling the movie A-lister: “I’m a huge, huge fan.”
Benedict replied: “Well, likewise. Thank you very much.”
He then revealed he is filming three episodes of BBC hit Sherlock for a fourth series — prompting a fist-pump from happy Andy.
Earlier, Benedict rose to his feet in the Royal Box alongside Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge as Andy claimed his second crown.
The royals, both 34, had grimaced, winced and cheered through the exhilarating two-hour, 48-minute battle.

Also in the Royal Box were actors Lily James, 27, Bradley Cooper, 41, and his girlfriend Irina Shayk, 30.
War and Peace star Lily gritted her teeth when Murray hit a shot out.
Fellow stars Sienna Miller, 34, and Diane Keaton, 70, and Murray’s coach Ivan Lendl could also do nothing to conceal their emotions.
