The stars of Matthew Vaughn's new spy action movie Argyle took to the red carpet for its world premiere, but it was a surprise four-legged visitor who stole the show.
The couple's cat Chip also appears in the film, as does German model and actress Claudia Schiffer, who married Vaughn in 2002.
Schiffer, 53, appeared on the red carpet outside the Odeon cinema in London's Leicester Square on Wednesday wearing an argyle-print backpack cat with a perspex dome and air holes for Chip to pop out of. He appeared with his beloved pet in a carrier.
The pair posed for photos in front of paparazzi before joining the rest of the star-studded cast on a stage inside the movie theater.
Chip plays Alfie, who is rescued from kidnapping by his owner, spy novelist Ellie, played by Jurassic World star Bryce Dallas Howard, after her book begins to describe the activities of a sinister underground group.
The film features a huge ensemble, including former Superman actor Henry Cavill, John Cena, Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston, Pulp Fiction's Samuel L. Jackson, and pop star Dua Lipa. The cast is in attendance.
