Hugh Bonneville takes wife Lulu Evans on set as he films The Monuments Men... and introduces her to silver fox George Clooney



She was playing the dutiful wife by going to visit her husband, Hugh Bonneville, on the set of his latest movie The Monuments Men.



And Lulu Evans was no doubt thrilled to find herself in the company of none other than Hollywood A-lister George Clooney as the group got to work on location at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, Cambridgeshire.



Hugh, 49, was kitted out in full army regalia as his leading lady arrived on set on Monday afternoon.

The pair seemed to be enjoying themselves as they enjoyed an arm-in-arm stroll around the picturesque countryside location while soaking up the warm afternoon sun.



But it wasn't long before something caught Lulu's eye, and the couple immediately made their way over to join silver fox Clooney in the director's chair.



The Hollywood hunk appeared to be getting on like a house on fire with Bonneville's wife, with the group chatting away together amiably as they relaxed in the sunshine.

At one point, the Donwton Abbey actor could be seen taking a snapshot on a mobile phone, suggesting perhaps Lulu was keen to get her picture taken during her encounter with Clooney.



Whether it was that or the warm day, but Hugh seemed to find the whole situation absolutely hilarious, and fell about laughing as he chatted to his wife and a member of the production staff.

Earlier in the day, Clooney had been commanding attention both in and out of character in the movie as he was dressed as an army officer.

The Hollywood stars were joined by dozens of extras as they shot scenes at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford on Monday.

Although George, Hugh and Matt had been seen filming last week, Monday marked the first day former Roseanne star John was seen on set.

The film is co-written, producer and directed by Clooney, with the script based on the book The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History by Robert M. Edsel.

Set during World War II, it tells the story of an Allied group who were responsible for saving pieces of art and other significant cultural items from the Nazis during World War II.

Matt takes on the role as the late James Rorimer, who was the director for the Metropolitan Museum Of Art in New York.

In 1943, he put his Met career on hold to sign up as a infantryman in the United States Army, but soon found his art skills being utilised during the war when he headed up the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives programme.
