Guy Ritchie was joined by his good friend David Beckham and his wife Jacqui Ainsley at the premiere of his new series The Gentlemen on Tuesday.
The filmmaker walked the red carpet at Theater Royal Drury Lane in London in support of his new Netflix series, based on the 2019 film of the same name.
The 58-year-old man looked dapper in a navy blue blazer which he paired with a white shirt, tan trousers and brown shoes.
He was accompanied by his friend David Beckham, 48, who looked suave in a black suit with a navy tie and a light blue shirt.
The man’s wife, Jacqui, 42, looked trendy in a black blazer and matching mini skirt and tie, which she teamed with a white shirt.

The model also wore a pair of black heels and completed her look for the star-studded event with matching tights.
Guy and David have been friends for many years and are co-owners of The Walmer Castle pub in Notting Hill, which they bought for £3 million.
They also previously went on a boys’ trip to Iceland together and David appeared in Guy’s 2017 film King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.
Earlier this year, David and his wife Victoria spent the night in one of Guy’s £50,000 BBQ tents in what he called an ‘incredible’ experience.
Speaking about his friendship with David on The Graham Norton Show, Guy said: ‘We’re kind of like friends – our kids go to the same school, we drink in the same pub and we go to the same gym and one thing led to another.
He added: “I love him, he’s on the same frequency as me and it made sense for him to be in the movie [King Arthur: Legend of the Sword].’
In The Gentlemen, Theo James plays Eddie who “inherits his father’s extensive estate only to discover” that it is a “weed empire owned by the legendary Mickey Pearson.”
A host of unsavory characters from Britain’s criminal underworld want a piece of Eddie’s operation.

Determined to free his family from their clutches, Eddie tries to make the gangsters play their own game. But as he gets sucked into the world of crime, he begins to find a taste for it.
Speaking about the new production, Guy said: ‘The world of ‘The Gentlemen’ is a bit mine, I’m very happy that with Netflix, Miramax and Moonage we have this opportunity to inhabit it again.
“We look forward to bringing fans back to that world and introducing new characters and their stories, and I’m excited to do so with this extremely talented cast.”
In addition to creating the TV series adaptation, Guy also directed the first two episodes.
The 2019 film starred Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Michelle Dockery, Colin Farrell, Jeremy Strong, Henry Golding and Hugh Grant.
It proved to be a box office success, grossing just over $115 million against a reported budget of $22 million.
In the film version, Mickey Pearson (played by Matthew) was a drug lord trying to sell his profitable marijuana business to a dynasty of billionaires.
