They became close pals while co-starring in a stage production of Anna Christie back in 2011.

And it would seem Jude Law and Ruth Wilson's friendship is still going strong as they enjoyed a night out at the theatre together on Thursday.

The thespian pair appeared to be in good spirits as they left London's Apollo Theatre after catching the critically-acclaimed theatre adaptation of Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time.

Thespian pals: Ruth Wilson and Jude Law proved their firm friendship is still going strong as they enjoyed a night out at the theatre together on Thursday

Cutting a stylish duo as they stepped out for the evening, Jude, 40, looked every inch the English gentleman in an immaculately tailored navy blue suit and slick white shirt.

Meanwhile, Ruth, 31, wrapped up against the chilly London weather in a stylish grey wool coat, a black fur snood and leather boots.

The pair first became close while co-starring in Anna Christie at London's Donmar Warehouse in 2011, and at one point their friendship was rumoured to have blossomed into something more serious after they were reportedly spotted kissing at the Groucho club.

Ruth has always been open about her admiration for her dashing co-star, saying: ‘He instantly disarms you because he’s so generous and open.’

However, it would appear the couple's friendship is purely platonic nowadays.

Jude was most recently romantically linked to 25-year-old model Alicia Rountree after they were spotted jetting to France together earlier this month.

A source told Life & Style magazine: 'She’s drop-dead gorgeous and totally sweet. They’ve gotten pretty serious really fast. He took her to France for the premiere of his film Side Effects. It’s taken off fast.

'She’s a nice girl and comes from a good family. She’s young, but mature. She’s been modeling for a long time so she had to grow up fast.'

Jude was previously in a long-term relationship with actress Sienna Miller, and has three children from his six-year marriage to Sadie Frost.

And in 2009, the Sherlock Holmes actor fathered a daughter Sophia after a brief fling with American model Samantha Burke.

Ruth shot to fame playing Jane Eyre in the 2006 BBC adaptation of the Charlotte Bronte novel, for which she was BAFTA and Golden Globe nominated.

In 2009, she was critically acclaimed for her performance as Queenie in the BBC adaptation of Andrea Levy's best-selling novel Small Island and more recently, she has starred opposite Idris Elba in crime drama Luther.

My brother is in the business and I have heard some of the most HORRIBLE stuff about this woman. I can't be bothered to go into details but she is truly awful. Fake and totally lacking in compassion towards those less fortunate than her.The fact that Jude has anything to do with her makes me thing very little of him.
