Line Of Duty’s Kelly Macdonald joins Hugh Bonneville at I Came By premiere  

Kelly Macdonald looked radiant as she attended the premiere of the new thriller I Came By alongside her co-star Hugh Bonneville at the Ham Yard Hotel in London on Tuesday. 

The actress, 46, cut a glamorous figure for the evening as she walked the red carpet in a long-sleeved fuchsia dress.

The garment featured a pleated hemline and a high collar while the Line Of Duty star added to her look with a purple pendant necklace. 

Letting her brunette locks fall loose down her shoulders, Kelly added height to her frame with a pair of gold-open toed heels.

The film star looked in good spirits as she posed alongside Hugh, 58, who takes on the lead role in the flick.

The Downton Abbey star looked dapper for the event as he sported a black blazer and trousers along with a white shirt and a pink and grey tie.

I Came By follows former judge Hector Blake (Hugh) who locks horns with graffiti artist Toby (George McKay) after he discovers something sinister in his basement.

The outing comes after Kelly admitted she was ‘badly’ affected by the attention she received after playing DCI Joanne Davidson in Line of Duty.

The actress starred in series six of the BBC drama, with her shady character going into witness protection and living under a new identity at the end of the last season.

And the star has revealed she found the notoriety the part bought her on social media difficult to stomach, causing her to take a break from the web for a while.

She told Bustle of how she was affected by the attention: ‘Badly. It was a very strange time for me because I’d never been so exposed. I had to stop going online.

‘I’m going to need years. I need to look back at it from a distance. I find it hard to know how I feel about it all.’ 

On fame in general, she added: ‘Fame is a funny old thing. I got very excited coming to London to do the press, but when it comes to the red carpets and stuff, I get a bit… I suddenly realise what I’m here for.’ 

Meanwhile, the star says she’s unsure of her character will return to Line of Duty for the seventh series.

She told the Radio Times: ‘I don’t think my character will be back. I suppose it’s a possibility at some point.’

Kelly added: ‘I have to say that Line of Duty for me was a very odd experience because of COVID.

‘It was strange days and it feels there’s life before COVID and life after, and Line of Duty was right at that point for me.’
