Lord Clooney has arrived! Amal Alamuddin’s husband looks as dapper as ever in Downton Abbey’s upcoming charity film. BBC released a short clip of his guest spot this week — and it appears that George Clooney’s charm hasn’t been wasted on the privileged ladies.
In the short clip, the 53-year-old silver fox is mingling with Lady Rose MacClare (Lily James) when he gets interrupted by Lady Edith Crawley (Laura Carmichael). On set, Clooney also had fun with Hugh Bonneville (Robert Crawley) for promo shots.
BBC confirmed back in September that Clooney would be joining the Crawley family for a sketch scene in ITV’s Christmas charity fundraiser, Text Santa. (Text Santa raises money and awareness for six UK charities.) Clooney visited the London Highclere Castle, where he shot the project, with Alamuddin in May.
“Highclere is sometimes open to the public but this day it wasn’t, so they were the only ones there,” an insider told Us Weekly at the time. “They spent a few hours there before they returned to their hotel.”
Clooney’s Downton Abbey visit airs on Thursday, Dec. 18. The show’s fifth season premieres in the U.S. on Sunday, Jan. 4.
