Blithe Spirit Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens is barely recognisable from his days as the posh and well-to-do fan-favourite Matthew Crawley in his latest appearance on the red carpet.

Matthew fell head over heels in love with Michelle Dockery's Lady Mary Crawley, but their passionate romance came to an abrupt end when Dan left the show.
