Gorgeous coat, Julia – but you do look a little bit of a Charlie! Pretty Woman actress resembles comic actor’s most famous alter-ego in outfit

She may be known as a Pretty Woman, but Julia Roberts looks more like a certain Tramp in this photograph.

The 56-year-old actress was wearing an elegantly tailored grey tweed coat – but her lopsided stance and wide-leg trousers gave her an unfortunate resemblance to Charlie Chaplin’s most famous alter-ego. 

The star was pictured on Gray’s Inn Road, Central London while filming the psychological thriller Panic Carefully, about the hunt for a cyber terrorist.

Her co-stars include Day Of The Jackal’s Eddie Redmayne, and The Dig’s Ben Chaplin – though the latter is no relation to his silent film star namesake.

With her hair dyed dark auburn, Ms Roberts was filmed entering a Georgian terraced house which appeared to be standing in for the American embassy. A number of soldiers carrying prop automatic weapons were guarding the building.

A bystander said: ‘Loads of armed soldiers on London’s streets gave it a bit of a sinister dystopian feel. But Julia herself looked to be in good spirits, though, despite the chilly weather.’

The film’s director, Mr Robot creator Sam Esmail, previously worked with Ms Roberts on the Netflix hit Leave The World Behind.
