Lord Grantham - FINDS HIS NEW LADY

...AND HE'S ALREADY INTRODUCED HER TO THE CRAWLEYS!

Hugh Bonneville has seemingly wasted no time moving on following the end of his 25-year marriage.

It's believed the Downton Abbey actor is now dating Canadian actress Claire Rankin. The pair were seen partaking in a five-hour dinner and drinks session with friends in London's Soho district on March 10. Included in the group were Hugh's former onscreen daughter Michelle Dockery and her new husband, Jasper WallerBridge. She played Lady Mary Crawley opposite Hugh's Lord Grantham.

"Hugh and Claire looked so happy together, they couldn't stop smiling," an onlooker told The Sun. "They looked like any other couple and seemed to be really enjoying each other's company."
