The Wedding Singers
Damian Lewis showcased his musical side as he pulled out a guitar to perform at his friends’ wedding, held at Kensington and Chelsea Register Office in London on Thursday.
The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star, 49, was joined by his actress wife Helen McCrory, 52, as they celebrated the occasion by singing along to a series of classic Irish tracks.
As ceremonies and receptions in England set to be capped at 15 people from Monday, the screen stars’ pals were able to narrowly avoid the new restrictions as they marked their milestone with their loved ones.
The Band of Brothers star put on a dapper display as he was dressed in a dark blue suit, teamed with a white shirt and a patterned tie.
Peaky Blinders’ Helen, meanwhile, cut a sophisticated figure in a polka dot blouse, high-waisted trousers and a wool coat.
The mother-of-two’s right arm was held up in a sling, nearly a year after she used a scarf to support the same limb during a night out. MailOnline has contacted Helen’s representatives for further comment.

In March, Damian joked he finally knows what fellow thespian Helen looked like as they self-isolated together in their Suffolk home amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The duo were asked how they were coping with life in quarantine, in contrast to their typically busy schedules during an appearance on Good Morning Britain.
Homeland actor Damian quipped: ‘I know, it’s amazing! I had no idea [Helen] looked like that!’
The celebrity couple, who have been married for 13 years, raise their two children, 13-year-old daughter Manon and son Gulliver, 12, at their home in north London.
Helen previously revealed to the Radio Times that when she met the flame-haired actor, it had been love at first sight.
‘He just made me laugh a lot. And still does,’ she gushed of her longtime partner. ‘Of course, everyone in life wants someone to love and be loved by, but I think I was always just engrossed and involved in work.
‘And no, the timing was pure fluke, pure chance, it always is, isn’t it?’
