The Gentlemen’s Joely Richardson had fans questioning if she was ‘still drunk’ as she appeared on Thursday’s This Morning – after attending the boozy premiere afterparty the night before.
The actress, 61, was on the daytime show with her co-star Vinnie Jones to discuss the second instalment of the Netflix crime series where 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 seemed noticeably animated and giggled while answering questions.
When Andi asked if she enjoyed working with Vinnie, 61, Joely grabbed his arm and said: ‘The best thing about Vinnie is Emma, his partner, who is right there. Who I got to know very well over season two.’
While talking Joely remained holding on to Vinnie’s shoulder and pointed into the studio where Vinnie’s girlfriend Emma Ford was standing, before blowing her a kiss.
Reacting to the interview, fans penned on X: ‘Is Joely Richardson coming across a bit drunk on This Morning?’
‘Is she still drunk from the premiere last night?’
‘Fair play to Joely. It’s 5 o’clock somewhere.’

A representative for Joely has been contacted by the Daily Mail for comment.
Joely attended the premiere on Wednesday night at the Guildhall in London alongside the other cast members Maya Jama, Theo James and Kaya Scodelario.
The group then headed to the after party beneath the venue where they let their hair down.
The evening began in Guildhall Yard, which had been transformed into a grand country estate in homage to Guy Ritchie’s drama.
Guests walked a green carpet past manicured topiary and ornate iron gates, while handlers in flat caps, waistcoats and wellington boots stood with hunting dogs beside a gleaming vintage convertible.
Inside the Great Hall, Theo, Kaya and director Guy Ritchie took part in a Q&A before the audience watched the opening episode of the second series beneath the venue’s soaring roof and Gothic windows.
But once the credits rolled, guests were ushered downstairs into the East and West Crypts – the largest surviving medieval crypts in London – where the restrained aristocratic theme gave way to something altogether more raucous.
The network of underground chambers had been drenched in blood-red light, illuminating their spectacular vaulted ceilings, carved stone arches and pillars.

A full-sized boxing ring occupied the centre of the crowded room, complete with fighters, while a huge neon sign bearing the name of the show’s fictional Glass Knuckles boxing club glowed nearby.
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 alcohol-free alternatives were named the 0 per cent Apex Predator and the Tamed Tiger.
Gratiot-Pillière Brut champagne was poured 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 blast’.
