A physical altercation occurred on the set of the third series of the television show The Gentlemen, a crime drama created by Guy Ritchie, during filming at West Wycombe Park House in Buckinghamshire. The incident reportedly involved two members of the production crew who became involved in a spontaneous fight, which resulted in one individual sustaining a cut lip.

Theo James, who portrays the crime lord Eddie Horniman in the series, was reportedly surprised by the confrontation. Sources noted that James, along with other cast and crew members, were preparing to film a fishing scene when the altercation erupted unexpectedly. Those present were described as shocked by the incident, which was notable given the show’s usual portrayal of staged violence rather than real-life conflict.

The Gentlemen has featured a cast including Ray Winstone, Vinnie Jones, Joely Richardson, Kaya Scodelario, and Maya Jama. Recently, actor Robert Carlyle joined the series, reuniting with several established cast members. Carlyle’s casting has been positively received within the production, with reports indicating that James himself advocated for Carlyle's involvement to strengthen the series.

Separately, discussions regarding a potential return to the show by Megan, Duchess of Sussex, reportedly did not come to fruition. Production insiders suggest that her participation was ultimately ruled out, with some believing this decision avoids additional complications amid an already intense filming environment.

The production of The Gentlemen continues to advance as the cast and crew work toward the release of the new series, despite the unexpected disruption during filming.
