Sex Education’s Ncuti Gatwa and Asa Butterfield were reportedly turned away from the Chiltern Firehouse after attending the GQ Men Of The Year Awards on Wednesday.
The pair were seen hugging and catching up as they attempted to get in the lavish club at around 2.30am after leaving The Royal Opera House in London.
Both appeared rather worse for wear, and were promptly turned away by the door staff, despite waiting in a queue for a while.
Asa Butterfield, 26, who plays Otis Milburn in the Netflix series, stood out in an eye-catching green pinstripe suit.
Ncuti, 31, who portrays Eric Effiong, cut a very smart figure in a long grey double breasted jacket which he teamed with a crisp white shirt and black tie.
