SCOTS actress Louise Linton has directed a movie where she stars alongside Ed Westwick.

The CSI New York beauty, 38, the third wife of US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, has written and produced her first feature film, Me, You, Madness, co-starring the Gossip Girl actor.

The comedy flick sees Westwick, 31, play the role of a young thief.

While breaking into a secluded Malibu mansion, he discovers he is robbing the home of a serial killer.

The movie, shot in Malibu in 2018, was interrupted by last year's Woolsey Fire before resuming after the blaze was cleared.

And Linton, originally from Edinburgh, has branded the project a “dream” and hailed Westwick’s work during production with Stormchaser Films.

She told Deadline: “Thanks to my killer crew and cast, the movie is every bit the playful 80’s homage I dreamed of when I wrote it.

“It was a joyful set, even under pressure. Ed Westwick is a phenomenal actor, collaborator, friend and creative force who became my co-pilot on many creative aspects of the film.”

The first official picture from the movie was also released on social media.

Linton posted the image on Instagram, saying: “So excited to share the first image from our new comedy #meyoumadness. Loved working with you @edwestwick.

Linton, who married multi-millionaire Mnuchin, 56, in 2017, previously appeared in Rules Don’t Apply and Cabin Fever.

The author was criticised in the same year after “inventing” near-death accounts of her travels to Africa as an 18-year-old volunteer which included “close encounters with lions and crocodiles”.

And she was blasted online for bragging about her designer goods while on a government trip.

Westwick was accused of sexual assault by four women in 2017 but the charges were dropped by the Los Angeles County D. A. in 2018.
