Ralph Fiennes emerged from his trailer in a dressing gown as he took a break between filming scenes of his new film Conclave in Rome on Thursday.
The actor, 60, is playing the starring role of Cardinal Lomeli in the adaptation of the Robert Harris novel of the same name, which focuses on the hypothetical behind-the-scenes story of what happens at the Vatican after the Pope dies.
The Harry Potter star also sported a pair of black trousers and dark trainers as he carried a script with him on location.

In the film, Cardinals arrive at the Vatican and Cardinal Lomeli leads them, deciding who will be the new Pope as secrets surrounding the old leader come to light.
It is Cardinal Lomeli's job to discover the secrets about the Pope before other people do and a new religious leader is chosen.
Conclave will also star Stanley Tucci as Cardinal Bellini, John Lithgow as Cardinal Tremblay and Isabella Rossellini as Sister Agnes.

The flick is being produced by House Productions and FilmNation Entertainment.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Peter Straughan adapted Harris' book for the screen.
It comes after Ralph Fiennes' dark comedy The Menu sparked a frenzy of excitement among food and film fans last year.
The culinary horror film, which premiered on November 18, takes place in a fancy restaurant called Hawthorne, where guests must pay $1,250 per meal and take a boat to get to the eatery, which is located on its own private island.
In the flick, acclaimed celebrity chef Julian Slowik, played by Fiennes, has prepared a lavish, multiple-course meal for 12 exclusive dinner guests.
However, the diners soon find themselves fighting for their lives when the luxury restaurant turns into a waking nightmare - as it's revealed that the entire dinner was all a ploy for sinister Chef Slowik to get revenge on the people who he believes have contributed to him losing his passion for cooking.
The guests soon start getting killed off one by one in a gruesome but hilarious chain of events - leaving the audience on the edge of their seats for the whole flick.
