A James Bond star has been spotted at a popular Leeds city centre restaurant.

Kerala Canteen, in St Peter’s Place, has received a visit from Rory Kinnear. The 48-year-old is likely known to fans of the James Bond franchise for playing Bill Tanner in Daniel Craig’s outings.

Elsewhere, Rory has starred in Bank of Dave and The Imitation Game. Rory’s visit to the Leeds city centre restaurant has been posted on Facebook.

The team from the business stated: “We recently had the pleasure of welcoming Olivier Award-winning actor Rory Kinnear, best known as Bill Tanner in the James Bond films, while an upcoming TV series was being filmed right here at Kerala Canteen in Leeds.

“We’re still under wraps, so unfortunately we’re not allowed to reveal much about the series just yet.” We’ll bring you further details on the new TV show when we know more.
