David Tennant scrubbed up well as he transformed into the next James Bond for an upcoming Comic Relief sketch, due to air on Friday.
The actor, 52, cut a dashing figure as he donned a black button-down jacket with a red trim and buttons.
Pairing the smart jacket with an all-black suit, the Doctor Who star enjoyed his martini, shaken without stirring, as he fully embraced the character.
Balancing the martini on the roof of his Comic Relief Aston Martin, David made sure he would travel in style in the vehicle.
Viewers will have the opportunity to get their hands on the stylish ride for themselves as Chris Evans and CarFest have donated the vehicle to the event.

Speaking about this being his last year hosting the show, Sir Lenny told BBC News: “I think I’ll be incredibly proud because it’s been a big part of my life and to see a new generation of people taking it forward – we’ve got Maya Jama, David Tennant, Romesh Ranganathan – there are so many people coming up.
“It’s going to be great to leave knowing there’s — I’m getting emotional now — a new group of people taking over and treating it the way we did.”
He also said: ‘This is a good time to part ways and allow a new generation to pick up the baton and move it a bit further’.
