Richard E. Grant appeared to be well and truly swept up in the game as he attended  day 10 of Wimbledon at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on Wednesday.

The Saltburn actor, 67, was seen cheering and grinning from ear to ear as he devoted all his attention to the tennis while seated in the Royal Box. 

The star waved his fists in the air before jokingly gesturing that his lips were sealed, suggesting the crowd had been asked to quieten down. 

He sat beside a glamorous Jemima Khan as the pair dressed to impress. 

Richard looked incredibly suave in a white linen blazer and trousers, while he teamed the stylish two-piece with a sand waistcoat and sported a burgundy polka-dot tie. 

Richard E. Grant put on a VERY animated display as he got swept up in the excitement of Wimbledon on Wednesday 

The Saltburn actor, 67, was sat in the Royal Box beside a glamorous Jemima Khan after attending his daughter's wedding earlier this month 

He completed the look with a pair of smart blue suede shoes and sported oversized black shades. 

Meanwhile, Jemima, 50, cut an elegant figure in a black midi dress which boasted a structured white collar, short sleeves, and a black belt with a silver diamante buckle.

She added inches to her frame with a pair of black espadrille wedges and toted her essentials around in a Yves Saint Laurent round leather-trimmed raffia shoulder bag which retails for £1,625. 

Jemima completed the ensemble with a white and black fedora hat as she sported a pair of oversized black shades. 

The outing came two days after Richard's daughter Olivia Grant married her partner Florian Herbst in a civil ceremony, three years after the celebrated actor lost his wife to cancer.

Olivia, a casting associate whose film credits include last year's record-breaking Barbie, exchanged vows with Herbst on Monday during a ceremony attended only by her father Richard and the groom's parents. 

Confirming the news on X, formerly Twitter, Richard revealed they celebrated the nuptials over a seafood dinner at Mayfair restaurant Scott's before spending the night at The Ritz. 

Captioning the post, he wrote: 'Our beloved daughter @OliviaGranted married Florian Herbst yesterday in a Civil Ceremony with only his parents & me, present. Wedding breakfast at Scott’s & a truly spectacular dinner & suite sleepover. Royally treated!!'

The celebration comes three years after Richard's wife of 35 years and Olivia's mother Joan Washington died following a battle with stage four lung cancer. 

Dialect coach Joan tragically passed away aged 75, eight months after she was diagnosed with the illness. 

Richard confirmed his daughter's engagement in October, with the actor sharing four images of Olivia, Herbst and her huge diamond ring. 

He wrote: 'Our beloved daughter @oliviagranted got engaged to Florian Herbst this weekend. Pockets full of Happiness!!' 

Richard previously revealed the 'amazing mantra' he has lived by since the death of his late wife.

The actor told how his wife gave him words to live by in the days before she died which has helped him deal with the 'abyss of grief' ever since.

Speaking on The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show with Helena Bonham Carter, he said: 'She said to me four days before she died, she said to my daughter and I, "I know that you're going to be sad but try and find a pocketful of happiness in each day".

'It's been an amazing mantra to navigate the abyss of grief in the last 15 months and I'm grateful for that.'

Richard also told how he misses Joan more around the winter period during Christmas and their wedding anniversary in November.

The pair seemed in high sprits as they watched the action unfold 

Richard looked less impressed during another point of the match 

But he was quickly seen rejoicing again as he punched the air 

Speaking in 2023, he told the Radio Times: 'Our wedding anniversary is on 1 November; Joan's birthday is on 21 December; there's Christmas Day and then Olly's [his nickname for his daughter Olivia] birthday is 4 January.'

'Last year, Olly and her partner Florian very generously invited me to Venice and then to visit his family in the south of Austria, which was absolutely magical.'

'This year I'm going with the two of them to the Caribbean so that I'm not in London at Christmas.'

In November, the actor paid tribute to Joan, who he married in 1986, on what would have been their 37th wedding anniversary.  

Captioning a montage of photos, he wrote: 'Posthumous 37th Wedding Anniversary today. Am profoundly grateful for the decades-long partnership I shared with the extraordinary love of my Life, Joan Washington.'

It came two days after Richard's daughter Olivia married her partner Florian Herbst in a civil ceremony on Monday, three-years after the actor lost his wife to cancer
