Ben Mendelsohn is one of Australia’s most celebrated actors with starring roles in The Dark Knight Rises, Rogue One and Animal Kingdom.

The Melbourne native put on a whimsical display for passersby in an unbuttoned pinstripe blazer which he paired with a white T-shirt with the words, ‘No apologies. It was my fault’.
