After expertly dealing with the matter, Hugh turned his attention to his latest project To Olivia.
He wrote: “In other news… Very proud of @thatjohnhay for bringing this powerful and timely story to the screen. It premieres tomorrow on #SkyCinema and @NOWTV in the UK & Ireland. Release dates in other countries will be announced soon. #ToOlivia.”
Hugh was on the BBC show to chat about his forthcoming role in the film in which he plays Roald Dahl, opposite Keeley Hawes as Dahl’s wife Patricia Neal.
But for viewers, instead the focus was on why Hugh looked so different.
“Hugh filter Bonneville #theoneshow,” said a confused fan.
Another commented: “They appear to have made a brand new Hugh Bonneville.”

The star, who played Robert Crawley in the franchise, added: “There is a script and it has been seen, but a little thing called coronavirus got in the way.
“Who knows? Later this year, it would be lovely to think the cameras might roll.”
