Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan offered a glimpse of their close friendship as they attended the star-studded premiere of their new series MobLand on Thursday.
The duo posed up a storm for the launch of Guy Ritchie’s Paramount+ show, after starring in the show as powerful crime bosses Conrad and Maeve Harrigan.
Enjoying a sweet embrace, Pierce and Helen were inseparable as they arrived for the premiere together.
Helen showed off her glamorous sense of style in a chic black satin dress, teamed with matching platform suede heels.
Meanwhile Pierce looked as suave as ever in a sharp black velvet suit as he posed for snaps with Helen, and their co-star Tom Hardy.
Guy, who is a executive producer on the show, as well as the director for several episodes, enjoyed a family outing, as he arrived for the premiere with his wife Jacqui Ainsley, and his son Rocco.

Fellow star Joanne Froggatt showed off her incredible figure in an eye-catching dark green velvet co-ord, flashing a hint of her toned abs.
The star’s outing came just hours after it was revealed that the upcoming third Down Abbey film would be the last, with the first poster for the film unveiled, ahead of its release on September 12.
Star Tom Hardy showed off his laid-back sense of style in a blue three-piece suit as he arrived for the premiere.
A string of Love Island favourites were also in attendance for the event, including Tommy Fury, in his first public appearance since Molly-Mae Hague broke her silence on their rekindled romance.
Arabella Chi also flaunted her growing bump in a tight white gown, as she prepares to welcome her first child.
Mobland follows powerful London crime bosses Conrad and Maeve Harrigan, played by Pierce and Helen, as they battle a rival syndicate threatening their empire.
Tom takes on the role of Harry Da Souza, their brutal fixer, who is called in to deal with any problems.
The series also features a supporting cast including Top Boy’s Jasmine Jobson, Anson Boon, Mandeep Dhillon, Geoff Bell, Daniel Betts, Lisa Dwan, and Emily Barber.

The series had been referenced under two different working titles, The Associate and Fixer, before landing on Mobland.
At the beginning of the year, Helen was spotted on set wearing sombre black lace under a fur-trimmed black coat.
Her character Maeve, was seen getting out of a limousine to attend a funeral.
It is unclear which character’s funeral they were attending in the scene they shot at Kensal Green Crematorium last week, but the hearse bore flowers which spelled out the word ‘Son’.
A source on set said: ‘Helen was having a great time during filming. She was very friendly and was definitely having fun embracing her inner gangster.
‘She is particularly fond of Pierce, they have been working together for decades.’
The pair first co-starred in the 1980 gangster movie The Long Good Friday, and more recently filmed a movie adaptation of Richard Osman’s bestseller The Thursday Murder Club.
Venom star Tom is executive producer of MobLand, with episodes directed by gangster specialist Guy, known for films such as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Netflix hit The Gentlemen.
The production has already had a bumpy ride, including camera equipment being stolen last November.
Two men in a Toyota Prius distracted the crew by asking for directions before speeding off with the expensive kit.
Speaking about the incident, a source told The Sun: ‘Their questions distracted people and at that moment, the other bloke jumped out and grabbed a bag of camera equipment that was on the side of the road.
‘He jumped back in the car and they sped off. The security guards started going bananas because they’d basically been robbed in broad daylight. It was pretty embarrassing and a costly mistake. The kit on those films isn’t cheap.’
Meanwhile it is thought Tom offered to pay the wages of the crew after a construction company went into liquidation.
Around 50 freelance building workers were left devastated after Helix 3D, the company contracted to build sets, went bust.
According to The Times, the company then refused to pay out £250,000 of wages ahead of Christmas, and its chief executive Brian Dowling sent out the devastating message saying their pay would likely not be in their accounts before the New Year.
It wasn’t until star Tom stepped in and offered to pay the workers’ wages that Paramount resolved the situation and set about sorting their pay checks.
Tom is set for a busy few months and will also star in Havoc in Spring of this year which will come to Netflix.
