Andrew Scott cuts a dapper figure in a cool green suit at the Catherine Called Birdy premiere

Andrew Scott cut a neat figure as he walked the red carpet at the Catherine Called Birdy premiere in London on Tuesday.

The Fleabag actor, 45, donned a stylish green suit for the chic event as he joined his co-stars and the film’s director, Lena Dunham.

Andrew wore the smart jacket over a 1970s-inspired beige shirt with an oversized pointed collar.

Slipping his feet into shiny black dress shoes, the actor had an unshaven face and smoothed his dark locks.

Written and directed by Girls creator Lena, the medieval comedy is based on Karen Cushman’s 1994 novel of the same name.

And 18-year-old Bella Ramsey plays the title character, a teenage girl living in 13th-century England.
