Emma Thompson looks casually chic in corduroy dungarees

They flew to Venice for a short break.

And Emma Thompson and her husband Greg Wise enjoyed the sights of the beautiful Italian city on Wednesday as they took a stroll together.

The Love Actually actress, 63, looked casually chic in corduroy dungarees for the outing where they stopped for a bite to eat outside.

She completed her look with a white t-shirt, a brown-grey jacket and comfy white trainers while sporting her hair in her classic cropped hairstyle.

Meanwhile, Greg, 56, looked chilled in a double denim ensemble as he sauntered beside his wife before enjoying a beer.

The couple got some light exercise on their walk around town before sitting down to eat and enjoy a glass of red wine together.

Emma and Greg have been married since 2003 and have two children; daughter Gaia, 22, and adopted son Tindyebwa.

It comes after Emma fought back tears after being surprised with a letter written by her late father Eric on The One Show last month.

The actress, whose father died in 1982, was stunned when she received the letter when the program showed images of Eric in his youth, joking, “He was kind of okay!”

Written by Eric, the letter asked for an audition to join the BBC after he left the military, with the actor set to create and narrate the English adaptation of the much-loved TV series The Magic Roundabout.

In it, Eric asked the BBC if he could audition for them after he left the army, with host Jermaine Jenas explaining: ‘There’s a letter from your father to the BBC.

“So he says he just left the army and was advised to write a letter to audition for the BBC.

“And I’ll tell you what it says, so it says, ‘I have no broadcasting experience apart from an audition in Birmingham a few years ago, but I’ve had both amateur and repertory experience’.”

The letter was accompanied by the BBC audition report and photographs of Eric taken during his childhood.

Zoe Ball added: “And the good news is that Emma auditioned three years later. The producers wrote a positive report about him, you can see that now, it’s so nice, isn’t it.’

She continued, “And you can see there, they noted that he had a ‘quiet charm and a twinkle and a distinct sense of humor’.”

Emma was visibly delighted with the items and told the camera, ‘My mother, who is 90, is watching this! Mom! I mean honestly, look!’

Emma looked at her father’s old snaps and added, “Look at him! He was kinda okay, wasn’t he!’

Eric presented the children’s series Playschool in the 1960s and was also the English narrator of The Magic Roundabout. After a heart attack in 1967, he turned his attention to directing.
