He Sher-locks familiar! Specs-sporting Martin Freeman bears a striking resemblance to retired TV presenter Denis Norden during chatshow appearance
From the slicked back hair, to the dark-rimmed glasses and dapper suit, many would be forgiven for thinking retired TV presenter Denis Norden had perched himself on Graham Norton’s sofa.
In fact it was actor Martin Freeman who was being interviewed and he confessed he had dressed up for the occasion.
Speaking on the BBC One show, he said: ‘I like clothes a lot but I can’t just throw something on. I can’t leave the house – whether it’s walking the dog or going to Sainsbury’s – without it being right. That can take a while but it drives my wife up the wall.’

Dapper: Denis presented television programmes on ITV for many years, including blooper shows It'll Be Alright on the Night and Laughter File and nostalgia quiz Looks Familiar. He went on to retire in 2006.
'I was always into fashion and, as I've got older, it's got worse. I know there are more important things in the world. Outside my normal life, aside from music, it's where most of my energy goes. I'm not very proud of that. Some people's energy goes on saving Syrian refugees. Mine goes on shoes.'

He added to The Times newspaper's Luxx menswear supplement: 'I can't leave the house unless I'm happy with my appearance. It's a sickness. It's a nightmare for Amanda.'
