Sir Ben Kingsley has secretly married. The Oscar-winning actor wed former Brazilian waitress Daniela Barbosa de Carneiro in an intimate ceremony on Monday.

Just 12 guests were present at the nuptials held in an Oxfordshire country home and the couple later held a reception at Kingsley's nearby mansion.

The 'Ghandi' star - who has been married three times before - says he is too busy to go on honeymoon as he is currently filming new comedy 'The Love Guru' with Mike Myers in Canada.

The 63-year-old actor, who met 34-year-old Daniela 18 months ago after being introduced by mutual friends, also spoke of his love for his new bride.

He gushed: "We're extremely happy. Daniela is like an ancient mythological princess. She has great deep dignity. She moves like an ocean."

Kingsley's first marriage was to Angela Morant - the mother of two of his children, Jasmine and Thomas. He has two children, Edmund and Ferdinand, with second wife Alison Sutcliffe.

Kingsley divorced his third wife, German-born Alexandra Christmann, in 2005, after she was pictured kissing another man.
