Although fans were pleased to see what Hugh was up to, plenty were quick to question why he wasn’t on the set of the Downton Abbey sequel, which is currently being filmed. One person wrote: "Shouldn’t you be filming Downtown Abbey???? You look amazing by the way.”
Hugh is filming a new Netflix movie
Filming for the much-anticipated sequel kicked off earlier this year, and the film was originally given a Christmas 2021 release date before it was pushed back for three months. Fans were unhappy with the delay, with one tweeting at the time: "Granny is not amused that #DowntonAbbey2 is being postponed. She's too old for this nonsense." A second said: "I knew there was no way this was coming out in December with them filming it right now under Covid conditions. Everything takes longer.”
