Meet The Gold star Hugh Bonneville's wife and children
Hugh Bonneville is one of film and TV's most recognisable faces, having been a regular in the period drama Downton Abbey, W1A and as Mr Brown in the hit children's film Paddington, plus he's set to star in the BBC crime drama, The Gold.
But away from his successful acting career, Hugh is a regular father and husband. While it might be a little different to his on-screen life as the Earl of Grantham in Downton, the family-of-three live in West Sussex and prefer to keep out of the spotlight.

What does Hugh Bonneville's wife Lucinda do?
Despite inaccurate reports in the past stating that Lulu worked as an artist, Hugh himself set the record straight. The actor told Radio Times: "There were about five minutes when she was doing something very creative – she is a very creative person – and I said, 'At the moment, she's an artist' and that has stuck despite me saying in every single subsequent interview that 'No, she's not an artist – she's now a full-time mum.'"
The couple have been married for over 20 years
Hugh Bonneville children
Hugh and Lulu have one child together, a teenage son called Felix. The actor and his wife prefer to keep their family life out of the public eye, however the actor did open up about his experiences as a dad with the online magazine Parents.
"I think the absolute key one is don't force your child to do the things you failed to do and wanted to do, like playing the piano or something. Another great piece of advice that someone once said to me when my little boy was arriving was, 'Hug him close, and let him fly.'"
