He first unveiled his weight loss in the summer of 2020 after shedding the pounds during the first coronavirus lockdown. 

And on Saturday, Hugh Bonneville showed off his svelte frame in a grey sweatshirt and mustard trousers as he left a TV studio in London.

The slim actor, 58, appeared in good spirits as he strolled along in his quirky attire after filming the John Bishop show.

Hugh looked at ease in a zip-neck sweater and the colourful trousers, which he teamed with blue trainers.

The Downton actor sported a buzzcut hairstyle and wore a silver wristwatch while carrying a white facemask in his hand.

The star, who plays Lord Grantham in the hit period drama, is a shadow of the well-padded Earl of Grantham who feasted nightly on Mrs Patmore’s delicious dinners.

While he has not detailed the method to his weight loss, Hugh previously revealed that when he returned from filming BBC archaeology drama Bonekickers in 2008, his wife Lulu Williams said: ‘You’re as fat as a pig’. 

He is best known for his role in Downton Abbey as Robert Crawley – a role he reprised in the Downton Abbey film.

This role has won him two Emmy nominations and, along with fellow cast members, won three SAG Awards for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama.

Hugh will next appear on screen in the upcoming Netflix film I Came By. 

The movie was commissioned alongside 22 other Netflix projects, which will seek to compete with content distributed by the likes of Disney+ and Apple TV+ as the streaming market expands.  

The motion picture will see a young graffiti rebel who targets the homes of the wealthy uncover a shocking secret one night.

He will embark on a terrifying journey through London, which will endanger both himself and those dearest to him.
