Jack Lowden stopped for a drink at the pub with an unlikely companion on Wednesday, as he was joined by CEO of Apple, Tim Cook.
The actor, 34, met up with the business executive, 64, to discuss the upcoming fifth season of his hit series, Slow Horses, which airs on Apple TV+.
Tim took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share a picture of the pair smiling widely while enjoying a pint together in the London pub.
Captioning the cheerful snap, the billionaire wrote: ‘There’s nothing like London during the holidays. It was great to meet with Slow Horses star, Jack Lowden, to tell him how excited we are for season 5 on Apple TV+!’
Slow Horses tells the story of an intelligence team banished to Slough House, an MI5 backwater, for generally being bad at their jobs and is based on the best-selling novel series by Mick Herron.
Jack stars as River Cartwright, an up-and-coming MI5 agent shunted to the team, which is led by Jackson Lamb, played by Oscar winner Gary Oldman.

As well as his acting career reaching new peaks, Jack is also riding high in his personal life, after tying the knot with four-time Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan in July.
The couple met while starring opposite each other in Mary Queen of Scots in 2018, with Saoirse, 30, playing the titular role while Jack played Lord Darnley, the Queen’s second husband, known for his salacious sexual nature.
Their on-screen romance foreshadowed what was to come, and they started dating in December that year, before secretly getting married six years later in Edinburgh.
Saoirse has remained fiercely private about their relationship and does not have a social media presence, but gave a small insight during a new interview.
Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last month, the star joked that her husband keeps disappointing her by refusing to perform a ‘cheesy karaoke duet’ of her choice.
Saoirse said: ‘I’ve been desperate for myself and my husband Jack to do a cheesy karaoke duet.

‘It’s Shallow from A Star is Born. I want him to be my Bradley, and I’ll be his Gaga. And he won’t do it. He hasn’t committed.
‘And I’m sort of like, well, what’s marriage for? You know what I mean? What are we doing here?’
She also recently told British Vogue: ‘I became successful when I was quite young. So it meant that, actually, by the time I found my partner, I’m now at the stage where, if it happened, I would like to have a kid.
‘I feel fortunate enough that, if I step out of this for a minute, I’m hopefully not giving it up forever. But, yeah, I’ve always wanted that.’
