Hugh Grant and Tom Hiddleston joined forces with sportsman Tim Henman for charity tennis matches this weekend.
The actors, 63 and 42 respectively, took to the court with the former professional player, 49, to help raise funds for the Tim Henman Foundation.
In snaps shared on Instagram Hugh posed as he took part in ‘Tim’s Non-Stop Tennis Weekend’ at Wimbledon.
The caption read: ‘Round 3, Day 2 group shot with another familiar face – Thank you #hughgrant. Please DONATE by visiting the link in our bio so we can help more young people.’
Other stars taking part across Saturday and Sunday included Tom, adventurer Bear Grylls, actor Jamie Dornan and cricket player Stuart Broad.

The Tim Henman Foundation works to ‘improving mental and physical health through sport and education’ to ‘transform the lives of disadvantaged young people’.
It comes after Hugh and his wife Anna Elisabet Eberstein looked every inch the happy couple as they attended the Wonka premiere in Paris on Friday night.
The iconic actor, who plays an Oompa-Loompa in the movie, and his producer wife, 40, put on a cosy display on the red carpet at Cinema UCG Normandie.
Hugh couldn’t wipe the smile of his face as he stood alongside his wife who wore a glamorous black dress.
Meanwhile Hugh looked as dapper as usual in a black velvet suit with an open collar shirt.
The couple, who share three children together, wed in 2018 at the Chelsea register office near their £10million west London home.
Hugh plays an Oompa Loompa in the film but his role has been met with controversy.
The decision to cast Hugh was criticised by an actor with dwarfism, who argued the part should have been offered to an actor with the condition as there is a lack of roles for dwarfs.

The Oompa-Loompas were played by actors with dwarfism in two previous films based on Roald Dahl’s iconic children’s book.
In Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, the Oompa Loompas are the small workers in the factory that Wonka imported from Loompaland.
Also in attendance was leading man, Timothée Chalamet who plays Wonka – which tells the story of the chocolatier before he opens his chocolate factory.
Variety/The A.V. Club film critic Courtney Howard called Wonka ‘a winning confection, filled with perfect amounts of charm, whimsy & poignancy, powered by pure imagination & bright, nimble musical numbers.’
He added: ‘Timothée Chalamet is a charisma factory. His full committal is intoxicating.
‘Hugh Grant [as an Oompa-Loompa] in exceptional IDGAF mode.’
IndieWire chief film critic David Ehrlich simply wrote: ‘Wonka good. Paul King king.’
Roger Ebert associate editor Robert Daniels ‘surprisingly, mostly, enjoyed WONKA’ and called Timothée ‘a really gifted comedic actor, smartly leveraging his star persona for laughs.’

The origin tale on Willy Wonka – based on Roald Dahl’s 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – hits UK theaters December 8 and US theaters December 15.
Wonka, directed by Paul King (the man behind Paddington) also features Keegan-Michael Key, Matt Lucas, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Olivia Colman and newcomer Calah Lane.
Chalamet earned $9M to portray the titular character after beating out Tom Holland, Donald Glover, Ezra Miller and Ryan Gosling for the role.
The eccentric genius, who delighted in punishing naughty children, was memorably originated by Gene Wilder in Mel Stuart’s 1971 beloved classic Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
