Emma Thompson wraps up warm on date with husband Greg Wise

Dame Emma Thompson looked casual as she had breakfast with husband Greg Wise at the Melrose and Morgan bakery in north London on Tuesday.

The Oscar-winning actress, 63, dressed for the early morning outing in an aviator jacket that she wore over navy blue dungarees.

Emma completed the casual look with a gray cap and slipped her feet into comfortable brown trainers.

The star appeared to be going makeup-free, while wearing stylish round glasses.

Actor and producer Greg, 56, opted for jeans and a navy blue quilted jacket.

With an unshaven face, the former Strictly Come Dancing contestant carried his belongings in a backpack over one shoulder.

The pair appeared in high spirits as they enjoyed a chat while sitting outside the bakery.

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.
