The Gentlemen’s Joely Richardson had fans wondering if she was ‘still drunk’ when she appeared on This Morning on Thursday – after attending the boozy premiere after-party the night before.
The actress, 61, was on hand during the day with her co-star Vinnie Jones to discuss the second part of the Netflix crime series in which she plays Lady Sabrina Halstead.
But those watching at home branded the chat with presenters Andi Peters and Christine Lampard a ‘car crash’ as she appeared noticeably animated and giggled as she answered questions.
When Andi asked if she enjoyed working with 61-year-old Vinnie, Joely grabbed his arm and said, “The best thing about Vinnie is Emma, his partner, being there.” Who I got to know very well in season two.’
While talking, Joely continued to hold Vinnie’s shoulder and pointed to the studio where Vinnie’s girlfriend Emma Ford was standing before giving her a kiss.
Reacting to the interview, fans on X wrote: ‘Does Joely Richardson seem a bit drunk on This Morning?’
“Is she still drunk from last night’s premiere?”
“Fair play to Joely. It’s five o’clock somewhere.’

The actress, 61, was on hand during the day with her co-star Vinnie Jones to discuss the second part of the Netflix crime series in which she plays Lady Sabrina Halstead.
A representative for Joely has been contacted by the Daily Mail for comment.
Joely attended the premiere at the Guildhall in London on Wednesday evening with fellow cast members Maya Jama, Theo James and Kaya Scodelario.
The group then headed to the afterparty below the venue where they let loose.
The evening started in Guildhall Yard, which had been transformed into a grand estate in honor of Guy Ritchie’s drama.
Guests walked across a green carpet past manicured topiary and ornate iron gates, while attendants in flat caps, vests and rubber boots with hunting dogs stood next to a shiny vintage convertible.
In the Great Hall, Theo, Kaya and director Guy Ritchie took part in a question and answer session before the audience watched the opening episode of the second series under the hall’s high roof and Gothic windows.
But once the credits rolled, guests were led downstairs to the East and West Crypts – the largest surviving medieval crypts in London – where the understated aristocratic theme gave way to something much rawer.
The network of underground chambers was drenched in blood-red light, illuminating the spectacular vaulted ceilings, carved stone arches and pillars.

A large boxing ring occupied the center of the packed venue, complete with fighters, while nearby a large neon sign with the name of the show’s fictional Glass Knuckles boxing club glowed.
Other drinks on the menu included The Old Fashioned Gentleman – a combination of bourbon, Pedro Ximénez sherry, black oak and chocolate bitters and demerara syrup, served with an edible chocolate cigar.
Guests could also order an Apex Predator, made from vodka, apricot liqueur, thyme syrup and lemon bitters, while non-alcoholic alternatives were called the 0 percent Apex Predator and the Tamed Tiger.
Gratiot-Pillière Brut champagne was served alongside Gavi di Gavi white wine and Château Sainte-Marie bordeaux, while Stella Artois flowed from branded taps.
The series has so far been warmly received by critics, including the Daily Mail’s Christopher Stevens, who described it as a ‘total stunner’.
