The writer’s actress wife, Ingrid Oliver, was among the film’s star-studded cast attending the premiere in London last night – and she walked the red carpet in a show-stopping dress
Richard Osman has been spotted with his wife, the actress Ingrid Oliver, at the premiere of the upcoming Thursday Murder Club movie. All eyes were on Richard, whose book the film is based on, as the star-studded cast including Dame Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan walked the red carpet outside Leicester Square in London last night.
The writer and presenter shared a series of snaps from the event, with the first being a photograph with his wife, Ingrid. Richard can be seen wearing a black suit with a maroon tie, while Ingrid has donned a long, red dress which she paired with red earrings, white shoes, and a sleek bob.
In other pictures, Richard poses with members of the film’s cast, including Dame Helen, Pierce, Celia Imrie, Ben Kingsley, Tom Ellis, and Daniel Mays. He captioned the series of snaps: “What a wonderful night with @ingrid_oliver at the Thursday Murder Club premiere in Leicester Square. We had the whole family there, which was a dream.”
Richard, 54, added: “Thanks to the whole amazing cast and crew, and particularly to the incomparable @chriscolumbus and @netflixuk”.
The film, based on the book of the same name, follows a group of elderly amateur sleuths living at a retirement home who attempt to solve a murder. It will be released in selected cinemas on August 22nd, and will begin streaming on Netflix on August 28th.
Following the premiere, Ingrid, 48, shared a gushing Instagram post about the film, which she said was “brilliant and warm and funny and touching”. She added: “It has been made with love and care by everyone involved, adapted by @katybrandofficial and Suzanne Heathcote from the book by @misterosman that was also made with love and care and a belief in humanity in all its flawed beauty.”
The presenter, who has two children from his first marriage, tied the knot with Ingrid in December 2022. They had met when Ingrid, an actress known for her roles in Doctor Who and Sweetpea, appeared on Richard Osman’s House of Games.
Richard later told Lorraine Kelly that he remembered seeing Ingrid’s name on the contestant list and thinking “Oh, I quite fancy her”. He said: “She agreed to come on the show and I think we were desperately trying not to flirt during the show”.
The pair got married almost three years ago, and Richard shared a photograph from the day, showing the couple holding hands and walking back down the aisle together. Ingrid wore a long-sleeved white dress with white heels and pearls, while Richard wore a navy suit with a red rose.
He said of the occasion: “The most magical, joyful day on Saturday with my beautiful wife @ingridoliver100. Surrounded by wonderful friends and family, a day full of love and laughter. We’re so, so happy”.
