Claire Danes cozied up to husband Hugh Dancy on Thursday evening at the Ezra premiere in New York City.

The 45-year-old actress and her actor beau, 48, kept close on the red carpet as they posed for photos.

Danes, who welcomed a baby girl with her partner last summer, looked radiant during the rare date night.

The former My So Called Life star was clad in a sleek, black, wide-leg jumpsuit that she topped with an elevated black track jacket. 

Each side of the collar was adorned with a silver-toned brooch, and the mother-of-three added a coordinating chain link necklace.

Claire’s straight, blonde, shoulder-grazing locks were styled in a side part with one portion tucked behind her ear.

Her face was aglow in a palette of soft, pink-toned makeup that served to accentuate her signature features.

The beauty, who began her career as a child actor, complemented her getup with small silver-toned earrings and matching rings.

She flashed a glossy red pedicure in her open-toe black heels, which peeked out from under her floor-sweeping trousers.

For his part, Hugh looked spiffy in khaki pants, a dark gray V-neck sweater, black blazer, and chestnut brown dress shoes.

His full, dark, gray-speckled beard was neatly trimmed and his hair was cropped above his ears.

Danes and Dancy tied the knot in 2009 and in addition to their nearly one-year-old daughter — whose name has not been revealed — they share sons Cyrus, 11, and Rowan, six in August.

They announced they were awaiting the arrival of their third child in January 2023.

De Niro looked dapper in a relaxed, black blazer layered over a forest green polo shirt and dark blue trousers.

He rounded out the look with a pair of matte black leather loafers. 

The Goodfellas sensation was clean-shaven for the screening and his white-gray hair was cut short.

Ezra follows a stand-up comedian named Max (played by Cannavale) as he confronts his personal challenges while raising a son with autism (played by William A. F Fitzgerald).

Max co-parents with his ex-wife (played by 44-year-old Byrne) and father (played by De Niro).

Bobby, 54, looked typically handsome and fashion-forward in a beige suit and crew neck white shirt.

He punctuated the getup with shiny black dress shoes and sported a very light shadow of a beard.

His full head of salt and pepper hair was cut short on the sides, with the top kept in longer tufts.

The New Jersey-bred actor made a splashy appearance on the red carpet with longtime partner Rose. 

The silver screen siren, who hails from Australia, was dressed in a sleeveless black dress with a lacy bodice that teased her cleavage.

Byrne also flashed her taut tummy in the sheer look, which boasted mini skirt underneath a long, flowy skirt overlay.

She beamed as she posed for cameras in front of the event’s step-and-repeat backdrop. 

The Bridesmaids star looked glamorous with her blonde highlighted bob haircut arranged in a side part and wispy waves.

Her visage was aglow in warm-toned makeup that included a subtle smoky eye, blush, and a glossy pink finish on her pout.

The longtime entertainer flaunted a short, brick red manicure as she donned multiple chunky statement rings. 

The script for Ezra was penned by Tony Spiridakis, who has a son — director Goldwyn’s godson — with autism. 

It was important to Goldwyn, per Yahoo, to cast a boy who is on the autism spectrum in real life.

‘There was not one moment when we considered casting a neurotypical actor to play Ezra,’ the director told the publication.

He added, ‘Tony wrote the script. It was inspired by his relationship with his own autistic son, and so we knew we had to do that.’

Of performing his breakout role, 15-year-old Fitzgerald confessed, ‘It didn’t really feel that hard.’

He explained, ‘Seeing how 90% of the time I have scenes with Bobby, we had a little script system called “Be With Bobby,” and that kind of kept me on my feet. It was like a “Be With Your Scene Partner” system.’

Cannavale emphasized, ‘You can’t go wrong if you just be with the person.

‘Sometimes actors make it more difficult than it actually is. If you do your homework, you should just be able to just be and live with the person and be in the space. And that’s harder than it looks sometimes, but this guy’s like a pro.’

In addition to directing the movie, Tony also plays Byrne’s boyfriend in the film.

And as he reflected on casting Fitzgerald as the son in the film, Goldwyn said: ‘You just know when you see it sometimes.’ 

He pointed out that shoots can be particularly difficult for neurodivergent actors as he shared, ‘Every person on the autism spectrum has certain sensitivities and certain things they’re comfortable with and uncomfortable with, as everyone does, but even more so if you’re autistic.

‘And we knew we were going to accommodate that,’ he explained, noting that there was an autism casting consultant named Elaine Hall who had a hand in finding Fitzgerald.
