“Downton Abbey” star Michelle Dockery: She shows her baby bump at film premiere

“Downton Abbey” star Michelle Dockery, who plays in the history series Lady Mary, awaits her first child. The sweet baby news revealed the 43-year-old on the red carpet of the “Downton Abbey Abbey” cinema film’s “Downton” Downton Abbey: The Great Finale “. On the side of husband Jasper Waller-Bridge, Dockery showed herself with a clearly visible baby bump.

Dockery appeared in a powder blue, shoulder -free ball gown with a tight bodice for the gala premiere at Leicester Square in London. The actress has been married to Jasper Waller-Bridge for around two years. Her husband is the younger brother of “Fleabag” creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge (40).

Michelle Dockery has played the aristocrat Lady Mary Crawley in the “Downton Abbey” series since the first episode from 2010. Already in 2014 she said that her attitude towards children would differ greatly from that of her figure, which is also a mother in the series.

“I love children, but Mary is not the most natural of all mothers. So she is simply not – or rather, so people were not at that time,” said Dockery in 2014. And further: “Lady Mary is an aristocrat, so she doesn’t see her child for more than two hours a day – this is not the kind of cozy relationship that I would have with a baby.”

Dockery is not the only “Downton Abbey” star, whose family is currently growing. Actress Joanne Froggatt (45), who plays the housemaid Anna Bates, is currently expecting her second child.

“Downton Abbey” creator Julian Fellowes (76) also wrote her pregnancy into the plot of the third movie. Fellowes “kindly installed her baby bump into the plot because I am quite obvious at this stage, so it made more sense,” Froggatt revealed.

The movie “Downton Abbey: The Great Final” will complete the franchise consisting of the popular series and a film trilogy. In Germany he starts in the cinemas on September 18.
