Guy’s wife Jacqui, 42, cut a trendy figure in a black blazer along with a matching mini skirt and tie which she paired with a white shirt.
Also sporting a pair of black heels, the model completed her look for the star-studded event with matching tights.
Guy and David have been friends for years and are co-owers of The Walmer Castle pub in Notting Hill which they purchased in a £3million deal.
They also previously went on a lads’ trip to Iceland together and David made an appearance in Guy’s 2017 film King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.
Earlier this year, David and his wife Victoria spent the night in one of Guy’s £50,000 BBQ tents in what he called an ‘unbelievable’ experience.
Speaking about his friendship with David on The Graham Norton Show, Guy said: ‘We are sort of mates – our children go to the same school, we drink in the same pub and we go to the same gym and one thing led to another.
He added: ‘I love him, he’s on the same frequency as me and it made sense for him to be in the film [King Arthur: Legend of the Sword].’
In The Gentlemen, Theo James portrays Eddie who inherits ‘his father’s sizeable estate only to discover’ its a ‘weed empire owned by the legendary Mickey Pearson’.
A host of unsavoury characters from Britain’s criminal underworld want a piece of Eddie’s operation.
Determined to extricate his family from their clutches, Eddie tries to play the gangsters at their own game. However, as he gets sucked into the world of criminality, he begins to find a taste for it.
Of the new production, Guy said: ‘The world of ‘The Gentlemen’ is a little bit of me, I’m thrilled that with Netflix, Miramax and Moonage we have this opportunity to inhabit it once again.
‘We’re looking forward to bringing fans back into that world, introducing new characters and their stories and I am excited to be doing it with this extremely talented cast.’
As well as creating the TV series adaptation, Guy also directed the first two episodes.
The 2019 movie starred Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Michelle Dockery, Colin Farrell, Jeremy Strong, Henry Golding, and Hugh Grant among many others.
It proved to be a box office success, grossing just over $115 million against a reported budget of $22 million.
In the film version, Mickey Pearson (played by Matthew) was a drug lord that tried to sell off his profitable marijuana business to a dynasty of billionaires.
