Ben Mendelsohn looked unrecognisable as he attended\u00a0the Roofman London Film Festival Gala with a furry plus one.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Australian actor certainly made an entrance on Tuesday as he rocked up at Royal Festival Hall with a chocolate-coloured chihuahua in hand and struck a series of poses\u00a0on the red carpet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old, who usually boasts a rugged look, cleaned up well for the event, wearing a navy checked blazer over a white shirt with a loosened baby blue tie, along with a pair of relaxed black slacks and sneakers.<\/p>\n

Throwing a faux fur coat over the ensemble, the actor appeared to take the mickey as he pouted for the camera alongside his pooch, who wore a crystal-emblazoned bow around its neck.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also in attendance at the star-studded event was Kirsten Dunst<\/a> and Channing Tatum<\/a>, who attended the do without his Australian girlfriend Inka Williams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both Kirsten and Channing could be seen cuddling Ben’s tiny pup.<\/p>\n

Based on a true story, Roofman follows a fugitive, played by Channing Tatum, who hides inside a Toys “R” Us store while on the run.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ben’s suave appearance at the film festival comes two years after he set tongues wagging during an outing in London with his ex-wife Emma Forrest, where the actor looked dishevelled and scruffy.<\/p>\n

The Emmy-winning star put on a casual display\u00a0\u2013 wearing a white jacket with a floral print, black trousers and a zip-up jumper.<\/p>\n

He was also seen carrying a lit cigarette in one hand while dangling another in his mouth, all while juggling a cup of takeaway coffee and shopping bags.<\/p>\n

Ben’s grey hair looked messy and overgrown.<\/p>\n

The Star Wars actor’s ex-wife Emma went make-up free for the winter outing.<\/p>\n

The film director, who filed for divorce from Ben in 2016, wore a pair of denim jeans, a pink cardigan layered with a navy floral coat, and pink running shoes.<\/p>\n

Emma and Ben tied the knot in June 2012 at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

In late December, 2016, Emma filed for divorce from the actor citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ in her divorce papers and revealed she and the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story actor had been separated since December 1 that year.<\/p>\n

Back in 2018, the critically acclaimed actor revealed he was once forced to work low-paying jobs to pay the bills.<\/p>\n

He washed dishes at a restaurant in Sydney’s Bondi and was also employed at a Brumby’s Bakery during a career slump, according to the Herald Sun.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on his incredible reversal of fortune since then, Ben said: ‘It’s been extraordinary. But that’s what has been very sweet about it – you don’t expect that in this business.’<\/p>\n

He added: ‘I still drive around and look back on a lot of years where things were leaner. I am still happily spun out by it.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
