Vinnie Jones Channels Geoffrey Seacombe While Filming The Gentlemen Season 2 in Slough

Vinnie Jones channelled his hardman character Geoffrey Seacombe as he continued filming dramatic scenes for The Gentlemen series two in Slough on Sunday.

The actor, 60, was spotted behind the wheel of a classic Land Rover Defender, strapped to a filming rig as he rumbled through the foggy set. 

He was joined on set by his co-stars Jasmine Blackborow and Benjamin Clementine – who is new to the show.

Guy Ritchie began shooting season two of his Netflix gangster show The Gentlemen with very dramatic action scenes in London back in June.

But now Vinnie was back shooting new scenes this weekend as a woodland in the west London area was transformed into a foggy set.

Vinnie was dressed in a khaki look and was seen chatting to crew between takes.

The star-studded comedy drama become one of the platform’s biggest hits of the 2024 after it reached a whopping 44million views in just four weeks.

Theo James who leads the cast as aristocrat Eddie Halstead. Kaya Scodelario, 33, who plays Susie Glass, daughter of Ray Winstone’s crime boss, also stars.

Also joining the cast for the new season is Downton Abbey’s Hugh Bonneville, who is best known for playing Robert Crawley in ITV drama. 

And according to The Sun, the identity of Hugh’s character will remain under wraps, with an insider telling the publication: ‘It was pretty obvious that Hugh’s new character plays a pivotal role in the story that runs through the drama’s second outing.

‘Though it’s a bit of a surprise to see someone in a gangster thriller who’s used to playing wholesome figures in shows like Downton Abbey and the Paddington movies.

‘But it’s fair to say with his giant head of grey hair and thick black glasses they’ve given him a very distinctive new look.’ 

The Gentlemen is based on Guy’s 2019 film of the same name which starred Matthew McConaughey, Michelle Dockery and Hugh Grant.

The first series’ synopsis read: ‘When aristocratic Eddie inherits the family estate, he discovers that it’s home to an enormous weed empire — and its proprietors aren’t going anywhere.’

Many fans rushed to review site Rotten Tomatoes to give their praise following the show’s first series. 

It has received 75 per cent on the Tomatometer and 83 per cent on the Popcornmeter.

Meanwhile one said on IMBD: ‘The best thing Netflix has produced in a very long time.’

‘Well worth a watch – instant classic. Guy Ritchie making a series is just a wonderful thing. 8 pockets of brilliance, almost like 8 movies in one.’

‘I couldn’t stop binging this! It’s a funny and wild ride with an ensemble cast. Theo James was born to play this role and I couldn’t help thinking he would make a great Bond, especially after episode 2.

‘Kaya Scodelario is brilliant as the steely Susie Glass. The comic timing of the whole cast is pivotal in making this so watchable.’

‘I really like Guy Richie movies. He has had his fair share of less successful ones, but for the most part they were good.’

‘Excellent work, everything goes surprisingly from gentle to aggressive with extraordinary balance and flow. What can I say, Guy Ritchie, he never disappoint us.’

The 2019 movie proved to be a box office success, grossing just over $115 million against a reported budget of $22 million.

In the film version, Mickey Pearson (played by Matthew) was a drug lord that tried to sell off his profitable marijuana business to a dynasty of billionaires.
