And now it was Gwyneth Paltrow, 41, and Ewan McGregor's, 42, turn to follow suit as they got to work shooting their initial scenes in a restaurant on London's South Bank on Friday.
The pair, both smartly dressed, looked to be discussing serious business when they met at a dinner table, with only a bottle of water for sustenance.
Classy affair: Gwyneth Paltrow and Ewan McGregor film Mortdecai on the Southbank in London
The big-screen adaptation of the popular Mortdecai book series by the late British author Kril Bonfiglioli tells the story of art dealer, Charles Mortdecai, played by Johnny
Depp, who is on the search for a stolen painting rumored to contain a secret code that gains access to hidden Nazi gold.
Mortdecai sees the enigmatic actor reunite with director David Koepp some nine-years after they worked together on 2004 movie Secret Window.
The pair will no doubt be hoping the forthcoming film fares better than their previous collaboration, which made a minor impact at the box office by recouping its $40,000,000 budget, but received lukewarm responses from critics.
A spot of lunch: Gwyneth and Ewan are filmed at a dinner table, with the pair both dressed smart for the occasion
Whilst on set, Gwyneth and Ewan were even treated to a quick hair and make-up touch-up whilst sitting at the table.
Mum-of-two, Gwyneth, looked elegant in a ruffle cream blouse, belted trousers finished off with a pearl necklace.
Her blonde locks were perfectly quaffed and her make-up was kept simple with pink lipstick and brown eyeliner.
Serious talks: Gwyneth Paltrow and Ewan McGregor have a serious conversation during one scene
McGregor appeared similarly refined, dressed in a black suit with his brunette locks slicked back into a gentleman-like style.
It appears the pair have been in the capital for a few days shooting scenes, as on Tuesday Ewan tweeted: 'Beautiful blue skied day here in London. Shooting Mortdecai in Pinewood. Having a laugh.'
While plot details are sketchy, and it has yet to be revealed what characters Paltrow and McGregor are to play, the film is thought to be based on the final Mortdecai novel – The Great Mortdecai Moustache Mystery, a posthumous novel completed by satirist Craig Brown after the author’s death.

Described as ‘an amoral Bertie Wooster with psychopathic tendencies,’ art dealer Charlie will be on the hunt for a painting that contains a code revealing the location of hidden Nazi treasure.
McGregor appeared recently starred in Jack the Giant Slayer and has the star-studded August: Osage County due out in the UK in January.
He’s now shooting Gavin O’Connor’s Jane Got a Gun with Natalie Portman and Joel Edgerton.
Fixing the final few hairs: Ewan's hairdresser interrupted the scene to fix his slicked back hairdo
Elegant: Gwyneth looked elegant in a pearl necklace and ruffle blouse
Sophisticated style: Gwyneth teamed the elegant top and pears with a belted pair of trousers for the lunch scene
Paltrow has recently starred as Pepper Potts in Iron Man 3 and the indie dramedy Thanks for Sharing, which received poor ticket sales.
Gwyneth, who now apparently encourages Apple, nine, and seven-year-old Moses to only speak in Spanish, has not been too popular with the public after poor ticket sales and a feud with Vanity Fair.
And according to Radar Online Gwyneth is being urged to do something ‘big’ like ‘gain weight for a Bridget Jones style film role’ to get the public back on her side.
