He's won himself a nation of fans on hit drama Poldark.

And Aidan Turner looked particularly suave as he and a pal attended day 10 of the 2016 Wimbledon Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis Club in Wimbledon, London on Wednesday.

Looking every inch the dapper dude as he shared a joke with his chum, the actor, 33, certainly had plenty to be smiling about with his appearance coming as the BBC announced that filming would commence on the third season of Poldark this autumn.

Hot stuff: Aidan Turner looked particularly suave as he and a pal attended day 10 of the 2016 Wimbledon Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis Club in Wimbledon, London on Wednesday

Stepping out in a stylish grey suit with a crisp shirt, smart tie and tan shoes, the Irish screen star looked every inch the dandy gentleman.

A far cry from his clean shaven, shirtless appearance on Poldark, the handsome Hobbit actor sported a full-grown rugged beard and slicked-back hair.

Donning stylish sunglasses, Aidan looked upbeat as he laughed and joked with his suited pal.

The actor would undoubtedly be cheering on Scottish tennis champion Andy Murray as he takes on Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the gentlemen's singles quarter finals on Centre Court.

Just hours prior to the star's Wimbledon appearance, the first look at series two of Poldark was unveiled on Wednesday morning.

But Poldark fans will no doubt be disappointed to see Aidan with decidedly more clothes on than he wore in promotional shots for the first season.

The leading man may not be shirtless, but he looked as brooding as ever in the newly-released official shot.

Aidan was seen on the back of his beloved horse Seamus, posing against the majestic Cornish landscape.

Series two of the drama picks up where the first series ended with Cornish mine owner Ross Poldark caught between his love for his wife Demelza (Eleanor Tomlinson) and his lust for ex-fiancée Elizabeth (Heida Reed).

Series one of the Sunday night drama saw British Army officer Poldark return from fighting in the American War of Independence to his native Cornwall.

But on his return he found his ex-fiancée Elizabeth Chynoweth about to marry his cousin while his estate lay in ruins following the death of his father.

The cast and crew have remained tight-lipped about the events of series two, but speaking at the MCM London Comic-Con recently, Aidan teased:

'Ross and Demelza have just lost their child, his company is down the pan, they're broke and he's been arrested. It looks like he's going to prison. It's a cheery beginning.'

Fans have two extra episodes to look forward to when the series, based on the novels of Winston Graham, returns in the Autumn, with ten installments in comparison to last year's eight.

It has also been confirmed that the BBC have commissioned a third series, before the second run even hits screens.

With more than nine million tuning into the first season last year and Aidan's now global popularity, the BBC know they're guaranteed a hit with series two.

BBC executives said Tuesday that the third run would begin filming in the autumn.

The cast and crew who have featured in the eight episodes of series one and the soon-to-be aired series two will stay on for the third, which will cover the fifth and sixth novels in the Poldark series, adapted for the screen by Debbie Horsfield.

Executive Producer Elizabeth Kilgarriff told the Daily Mirror: 'Series two promises to take the audience on another fantastic rollercoaster ride and we're thrilled to know that the story won't end there'.

The news puts rumours of Aidan's Bond ambitions in doubt though, with the Irish hunk one of the favourites to take over the big screen 007 role from Daniel Craig.

But with his time taken up filming Poldark, there's speculation that Happy Valley star James Norton could be taking on the role of the suave spy.
