Woody Allen stepped out for a Sunday stroll with his wife Soon-Yi and daughter Manzie.

The filmmaker, who turned 80 earlier this month, looked a little unsteady on his feet as he linked arms with his leading ladies.

Allen donned brown corduroys and a cable knit sweater for the outing and covered his head in a casual sunhat.

Soon-Yi, 45, matched her mate in a similar hat and opted for dark hues including jeans and a long blazer. 

Manzie, 16, who the couple adopted in 2000, kept it casual in leggings and a slouchy sweater.

The duo also have another adopted daughter, Bechet,17. 

The prolific writer and director was last pictured filming a new project in California over the summer and in October he was spotted on set with Jesse Eisenberg back on the East Coast.

It was the first time Allen had shot a movie in New York in 10 years after complaining it is too expensive to film there.

Steve Carell, Kristen Stewart and Blake Lively also star in the yet untitled movie set for release in 2016.

Allen is famous for keeping his plot lines close to his chest and is highly secretive about his projects.

His cast is also usually listed in the credits in alphabetical order, so it's unclear which actors of those announced will have the largest parts in the upcoming film or what the story will be about.   

Over the summer he revealed he initially thought his relationship with Soon-Yi Previn would 'just be a fling.'

He married Soon-Yi in 1997, but admitted he thought it wouldn't be serious at the beginning.

'I started the relationship with her and I thought it would just be a fling. It wouldn't be serious, but it had a life of its own,' he told NPR. 'And I never thought it would be anything more.

'Then we started going together, then we started living together, and we were enjoying it. I'm 35 years older, and somehow through no fault of mine of hers, the dynamic worked.'

The relationship caused controversy when it began because Allen was in a 12-year relationship at the time with her adoptive mother, Mia Farrow. 

Under wraps: Allen's next project is untitled but stars Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart and Blake Lively and will be released in 2016
