Filmmaker Guy Ritchie has revealed that actor Daniel Ings faced a telling off from a duke while filming for The Gentlemen.

The brand new comedy action series, inspired by the 2019 film of the same name, follows Eddie Horniman, played by Theo James, as he inherits his family’s estate – Halstead Manor.

Badminton House, the Gloucestershire seat of the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, doubled for the mansion in the Netflix drama and Ritchie, 55, said that the crew were under strict instructions to stay off the grass.

In one scene, however, Ings, who plays Eddie’s brother Freddy, walks out of the house dressed in a chicken suit and falls over on some grass.
