Jeremy Irons showed off his dancing skills as he appeared to take to the floor in Venice at the weekend.
The award-winning actor, 76, was joined by his wife Sinéad Cusack as the pair attended The Artist’s Dream Masquerade Ball as part of the Save Venice Carnevale Gala.
The couple, who have been married since 1978, were seen donning their dramatic masks which were adorned with feathers as they beamed in snaps.
Dressed in a long brown robe and black cap, Jeremy was seen dancing with a young woman in a busty yellow dress as part of the performance.
He was seen with his arm wrapped around her as she sung into the microphone and he got into the role as part of the celebratory event.
Save Venice took part from February 21 to 23 with the event’s programme aiming to include art conservation tours and programmes as well as themed festivities in historic Venetian settings.

Save Venice is the leading American nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the artistic heritage of Venice, Italy.
Since 1971 they have worked tirelessly to preserve, protect, and promote the art and culture of Venice and have funded the conservation of more than 550 projects comprising over 1,000 individual artworks.
Jeremy has previously been involved with the charity after he provided the voiceover on the short documentary ‘A Love Letter to Venice’ back in 2020.
In other snaps, Jeremy appeared to be playing some sort of religious figure as he dressed in a red robe, white shirt and black cap.
Jeremy acted alongside his wife, who is also an actress, who wowed in a long purple gown while the couple held hands.
The couple have been married for 46 years and share two sons, Sam, 46, and Max, 39.
The actor previously described his relationship with his wife as ‘dysfunctional’ and claimed that ‘part of our nature is to have as many partners as possible’.
He admitted: ‘Sinead and I have had difficult times. Every marriage does because people are impossible. I’m impossible, my wife’s impossible, life’s impossible.’

He also once said: ‘No marriage is what it seems. I will say that it is very difficult to be everything to one person.’
Asked about his marriage in 2013, he said: ‘It goes on,’ and over 10 years later the couple are still going strong.
Jeremy’s screen and stage career started in the 1970s. He won a best actor Oscar in 1991 for his role in Reversal Of Fortune, and had acclaimed performances in films including The French Lieutenant’s Woman and The Mission.
But his fame reached new heights when he was the voice of Scar in The Lion King and played the villain in Die Hard With A Vengeance in the mid-Nineties.
