Sir Anthony Hopkins has been pictured for the first time as Sigmund Freud while filming scenes in Ireland.

The two-time Oscars winner, 85, plays the founder of psychoanalysis opposite Downton Abbey star Matthew Goode, 45, who portrays The Chronicles of Narnia author C.S Lewis in the upcoming film Freud's Last Session.

The actors were pictured filming a scene which saw them walk into a church carrying gas masks in their hands, accompanied by about 30 extras on set.

Sir Anthony wore a grey coat, a brown trilby hat and Freud's trademark round-rimmed glasses. Goode donned a navy overcoat and maroon tie.

The Silence of the Lambs star tipped his hat when he noticed the photographer's camera.
