And Natalie Dormer looked worlds apart from her former alter-ego when she joined A-list actor and director Mel Gibson to film scenes for The Professor And The Madman in Dublin, Ireland over the weekend.

The 34-year-old actress was clad in 19th century period costume as she made her way onto the set, while Hollywood star Mel, 60, got to work in a top hat.

In character: Hollywood star Mel, 60, got to work in a top hat as he resumed filming for his pet project about the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary

Natalie looked a little windswept, covering up her patterned shirt and flowing skirt with a waterproof jacket.

She sported a brown suede bag to match her battered, lace-up boots, and carried a script under one arm.

Meanwhile, Mel - who acquired the film rights almost two decades ago - appeared animated as he continued work on the drama about the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary, a pet project of his.

Sean Penn stars as William Chester Minor, a former US army surgeon who contributes more than 10,000 entries to the Oxford English Dictionary while being held at an asylum for the criminally insane.

Minor, who passed away in 1920, became a devoted contributor after answering a call for volunteers from Scottish lexicographer Sir James Murray - the dictionary's primary editor (Gibson).

The film, adapted from Simon Winchester's book the The Surgeon of Crowthorne: A Tale of Murder, Madness and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary, is expected to be released in 2017.
