Dominic Cooper flashes his Calvin Kleins as he cleans out his Range Rover and classic red Austin Healey-Sprite in London
Passersby got more than they bargained for on Tuesday as Dominic Cooper flashed his Calvin Kleins as he cleaned out his Range Rover and red classic car in London.
The Mamma Mia! actor, 46, cut a casual figure as he hauled bags over from one vehicle to another.
He looked effortlessly cool as he stepped out in a navy zip-up jacket layered over a cream hoodie and white T-shirt.
Dominic teamed the ensemble with baggy green cargo trousers, blue and white Adidas socks and a pair of Nike Airmax trainers.
He added stylish sunglasses as he got to work moving bags between his cars, showing off his white Calvins as he leaned into the red classic red Austin-Healey Sprite convertible.
The star was joined by a blonde pal, who he shared a hug with before they took a selfie together.
Dominic seemed to be in high spirits as he got on with the job, seemingly not noticing the parking ticket on his Range Rover.
However, Dominic has previously had issues with his cars and in 2021 appealed for help on social media after having his fifth car stolen in 12 months.
At the time, he shared that his prized Jaguar XF had been 'pinched' from the driveway of his London home.
Appealing for information over its whereabouts on his Instagram page alongside a picture of the black motor, Dominic wrote: 'Happy Father's Day...
'This has just been pinched. Can't be far. If you're in North London please keep an eye out. Thank you ever so much.'
The theft came just four months after his rare £83,000 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 was stolen from outside his home.
And his run of bad luck with cars stretches back into July 2020 when he had his 1950s era Austin Healy car, with around £65,000, swiped and its replacement - a red Jaguar F-Type coupe p 300 - was taken shortly afterwards.
The following month, a Range Rover which he had been using to deliver meals to NHS staff, was also stolen, sparking a plea a social media for his return.
The actor is currently dating Captain Marvel actress Gemma Chan, 42, and the two have been spotted out and about looking loved-up on numerous occasions.

Gemma and Dominic have worked to keep their romance out of the public eye since they got together in 2018.
After months of dating rumours, the couple made their first public appearance at an afterparty for the British Fashion Awards six years ago.
They've been together ever since, though neither are big on flaunting their relationship or speaking about their love life to the press.
Prior to her romance with Dominic, Gemma was previously in a long-term relationship with Jack Whitehall.
Gemma and Jack split as they struggled to make it work around their non-stop filming schedules.
Dominic's most high-profile romance prior to Gemma was with his Mamma Mia! co-star Amanda Seyfried.
In 2021, Gemma told ELLE UK: 'Over 10 years, you learn the importance of privacy, what you choose to share and what you don't.
'When you start out, you don't even know what is important to keep for yourself.
'I didn't anyway, at the beginning, whereas now I think there are certain things that I absolutely know, ''That's mine and it's private.''
'For me, my comfort level is to have a clear distinction between what is for me and what I'm happy to talk about.'
And in July 2022, Gemma gave a rare insight into their relationship.
She spoke about his support of her passions, gushing that her beau was particularly supportive when she spoke out on behalf of Asian communities during the pandemic.
She launched the #StopESEAHate campaign with GoFundMe that fought back against racially-motivated crimes aimed at those of East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) heritage.
She told Harper's Bazaar UK: 'I think I'm so fortunate to be in a relationship where we can talk about anything,' the actress said of her boyfriend.
'Dom was very understanding and empathetic. I was quite open about how I was feeling during that time, and he was just incredibly supportive.'
'I definitely didn't feel I had to shoulder everything on my own. I'm really, really lucky.'

Gemma Collins makes first appearance after admitting she feels like she's dying
Gemma Collins launched Trainline's 'SlayStation' pop-up at King's Cross station today, encouraging commuters and party-goers to step in to get their hair and makeup done Gemma Collins was glowing today as she made her first public appearance since admitting she feels like "dying" while battling pneumonia. The 44-year-old brought full glam to King's Cross station in London as she launched Trainline's "SlayStation" pop-up, helping commuters and concert-goers prepare for their night out - offering free hair, makeup and selfie-ready moments to those heading to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour as well as people passing by. It comes as former The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE) star Gemma, who is celebrated for her glamour, meme-worthy one-liners, and unapologetic self-confidence, was named the ultimate night out partner in a poll - receiving 27 per cent of votes by Gen Z - quickly followed by Katie Price (25 per cent) and Alison Hammond (22 per cent). The survey, commissioned by Trainline, also revealed that for three quarters of 18-34 year olds (75 per cent), the night out begins well before they step foot in the venue. With three quarters saying getting ready is one of the most important parts of the night, one in five Brits now plan their outfit and look up to one month in advance of their night out – with 70 per cent of Brits using time on the train to perfect their look. Speaking about her own experiences with nights out and looking back at the good old days, the GC said: "Listen, the best part of the night is the build-up. It's the getting glam, the playlist, the group chat chaos, and those deep, hilarious, 'why did we even start talking about this?' moments on the journey to the venue. SlayStation is all about bringing the glam – a bit of hair, a bit of makeup, and a whole lot of fabulous. If you're stepping out, step out ready to slay." Sarah Helppi, UK Country Director at Trainline, said: "At Trainline, we know that great nights out start long before you reach the venue – they start with the journey. Whether it's touching up your look up on the train, sharing music playlists, or those conversations that only happen en route, travel has become an essential part of the night. That's why we launched SlayStation – to celebrate the journey and make it as iconic as the destination." To help commuters and party-goers feel their best, SlayStation brought together professional hair, makeup and glam artists to King's Cross today. The free-of-charge event, held until 8pm on Saturday, is now sold out. Earlier this week, a bedridden Gemma took to Instagram to share an update about her health, revealing that she had been seriously unwell for a number of weeks. In her post, which included a photo of the reality TV star laying in bed, she wrote: "Hey guys sorry been quiet i have Pneumonia. I'm not as fast or on it as I usually am on the daily. I am still honouring my work commitments which is taking every bit of energy I have but will be back entertaining you all soon." In a further update on her Instagram Story, Gemma revealed she was receiving treatment via a drip and had been seen by a doctor. Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs typically caused by an infection and while most people recover within two to four weeks, infants, the elderly, and those with heart or lung conditions are at a higher risk of severe illness and may require hospitalisation. Luckily, Gemma has not had to go to hospital, but speaking to The Mirror, she admitted that she feels as though she is "dying" as she said: "Because the Pneumonia is viral, no antibiotic is going to help me. I've been really short of breath and obviously I have work commitments that I would never not turn up to. I'm old-school, I would always fulfill my work commitments. "It's shocking, I've had it now for over three weeks and I had steroids given to me by my doctor. It was DJ Fat Tony's wedding and I had to take them to get through that, but I'm off them now and the sickness is really kicking back in. It's so frustrating because I normally have so much energy and I'm always loving life, but now I get really breathless really quickly and I feel like I'm dying."

My mum's had 15 babies and now wants ANOTHER one at 58 – it's reckless & selfish… and I'm terrified it could kill her
SHE'S already given birth to a staggering 15 babies and Carole Horlock now wants to have another one at the age of 58. But her own daughter has slammed her "reckless" plan - saying: 'Mum's being selfish and she's too old.' 10 10 Megan Horlock, 31, who works in the NHS as an emergency worker, revealed she had a blazing row with mother Carole - the world's most prolific surrogate mum - as she fears having another baby for a childless couple may kill her. Carole has had 15 babies in total - two daughters, Megan and her sister Stephanie, and 13 babies for nine different couples. And she recently told The Sun she was 'broody' and was willing to defy doctor's orders to go through with another pregnancy. But in a blistering interview, Megan, who spent her childhood seeing her mum pregnant 'almost all the time', hit back: 'Broody? I think Mum is being selfish to try to become a surrogate again. It's time she retired her uterus. 'I honestly can't believe she's trying again and is talking to doctors. 'She's too old. How many more last times can there be? 'When she announced she's coming out of retirement I was shocked and dismayed. 'As an emergency medical worker I see the best - but also the worst - outcomes in every possible type of scenario. 'I worry for mum. She wants so badly to help others, but I said to her: 'The risks are too high. Don't do it. It's time you enjoyed your amazing achievements but also your well earned retirement. 'She said 'Let me have one last try'. She wants me to support her. She has spent her whole life feeling broody so I suppose it's no surprise that hasn't gone away. 'I told her 'you've been a wonderful mum as well as an amazing surrogate and I'm scared of losing you. Please don't sacrifice our family to give someone else one.' I'm the world's most prolific surrogate and want my 16th baby aged 58 - docs fear I could die this time but I'm not worried 'Mum told me she has unfinished business and she was sad when she didn't bond with the last surrogate family. It's her dream to have one more.' 'I replied: 'The price could be your life. This could kill you'. Pregnant for 30 years Earlier this month The Sun revealed Carole, who is in perimenopause, has been in touch with fertility experts in Greece and Cyprus to see if she can conceive another child using IVF. 10 Doctors have previously warned her that having another baby could kill her - but Carole claims her body has never let her down. Carole, who has the Guinness World Record for being the world's most prolific surrogate, would also become Britain's oldest surrogate if she is successful at becoming pregnant and giving birth. The oldest known surrogate in Britain is Pamela Butler who gave birth to her grandson aged 57 in 2010. Carole had her first surrogate baby - a little boy - in 1995. She went on to have twin girls in 1997 for the same couple and they continue to be close to this day. Baby four, in March 1998 was a girl for a couple who had suffered multiple miscarriages. Five was a little girl for a couple who already had a child with another surrogate. Baby six was a little girl who completed the family for the parents of baby number four. Baby seven was a boy for a woman who had tried to have a baby for 23 years. When I was growing up I remember my mum being pregnant most of the time. Megan Horlock Next was a little girl - her eighth surrogate child - for a couple whose previous surrogate had kept the baby. Baby nine caused a public outcry, as the little boy turned out to be Carole's and her husband Paul's - but she still gave him away. Triplets came next, making up babies 10, 11 and 12 who were born after IVF and via a caesarean. While baby 13 was a little boy born in April 2012, again by caesarean. Risks of birth at 58 IT is possible for a woman to give birth at 58 but natural conception is extremely rare and most women of this age need IVF, often using donor eggs due to diminished ovarian reserve. Multiple previous pregnancies, especially with multiple births and multiple caesareans, significantly increase risks such as uterine rupture, placenta previa, and haemorrhage. Using donor eggs from a younger woman can reduce the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down's syndrome. But the risks of pregnancy complications – including gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, hypertension, and preterm birth – are significantly higher due to the mother's age. There are substantial risks. Older mothers also face a higher likelihood of requiring intensive care during or after delivery. The risks increase with each successive caesarean. NHS fertility treatment is only offered to women aged under 43. Many UK specialists may be reluctant due to the high medical risks involved but age limits may be more flexible abroad. Dr Sami Almusawa is a Fertility Consultant at Megan said: 'My first memory of Mum being pregnant with a surrogate baby was when I was four. 'When I was growing up I remember my mum being pregnant most of the time. 'She was a single mum back then, working full time in a launderette, bringing me and Stephanie up single handedly whilst also being a surrogate. "She was like superwoman. For a lot of the pregnancies she worked until she was literally in labour. 'We were involved in everything. 'She'd tell us: 'The lady's tummy is broken so she's borrowing Mummy's tummy.' 'In the evenings our favourite game was eating Maltesers while watching TV and we used to balance them on her belly and try to get the baby to kick it off. 'We'd follow the couples through the pregnancy journey and when she gave birth, I got to meet them and hold their child. 'Even at such a young age it was a fantastic experience because you saw each couple grow with excitement throughout the nine months. 'Then we got to see them with their baby afterwards and sometimes even watch the surrogate children grow up." 10 Megan has stayed close to many of the kids her mother gave birth to. 'I have a WhatsApp group with some of them and we plan to meet," she says. "They were like cousins, but in reality as Mum donated her eggs for some of the pregnancies, some are my half-brothers and half-sisters biologically. 'I have always thought what Mum did was so special. 'Now, as an adult I have even more admiration for what she's done and the families that she's made.' Pain over long lost brother Meghan was seven when Carole met her now husband Paul, now 71. She said: 'He is my dad. He became a part of our surrogacy journey too. There was more love in our home than many families experience. 'I wouldn't say I missed out on anything. I think my life was more full of love because of my mum doing this. 'I have always said maybe after I have my own family I'd like to be a surrogate one day. 'But Mum has to know when to stop and enough is enough.' Megan revealed she does think of one of the babies more often than others - baby nine, a little boy who turned out to be Carole's and Paul's who they accidentally gave away. The mix-up came to light when the surrogate couple did a DNA test after the birth and discovered the child was not theirs. Megan, who has a long-term partner and lives in Braintree, Essex, said: 'Mum and Paul did a lot of soul searching as Paul does not have biological children of his own, although I think of him as my dad. But they hadn't planned to have a child and so they decided to let them keep him. 'I do think of baby nine more than the other children, because we are estranged and he is my half-brother. 'I quite often wonder what he looks like, how he acts, the things he likes, what his personality is like. I wonder what he's up to, he might be at university. I wonder if he looks like me. 'I would love to meet him and I hope that he will make contact one day and I know Mum and Paul would love to meet him too.' Difficult birth Meghan revealed her concerns for her mum stem from being her birthing partner during her last labour in 2013. She said: 'The doctors decided to induce her because of her age and the risk of pre-eclampsia, rather than there being a pre-eclampsia developing, which Mum didn't agree with. 'Her body knows what it's doing. It was very difficult to watch my mum go through the pain of being induced, a caesarean and the recovery. 'She did admit that pregnancy did take more out of her than the previous ones because of her age. 'Twelve years have passed since then and I think it's a lot later in life. 'It's going to be twice as hard as the last time and the risks to health during the labour are going to be higher. 'Having had two previous caesareans, it just increases the risk even more. It's a huge concern. 'Mum is my best friend. There is nothing she could ever do that would ever upset me enough to affect our relationship. 'As much as I have my personal views, ultimately I will support her through her decision and journey and be there for her. 'I will go with her to the hospital even though I don't agree because I know what it means to her. 'I still believe people should be able to do what they want in life and be able to live how they want.' Last night Carole said: 'My daughter's feelings are very important to me, in fact they are everything. 'But I know my body and I'll be taking the best medical advice in the world to ensure my body can do this and see a pregnancy through. "I know my body but I won't let a couple down - so tests will confirm if this can go ahead. I'm confident I can do this.'

Giving an update, Gemma admitted that because the pneumonia is viral, she is unable to take antibiotics. She told The Mirror: "I've been really short of breath and obviously I have work commitments that I would never not turn up to. I'm old-school, I would always fulfill my work commitments.' Gemma confessed that she's finding the ordeal, which has lasted almost a month, "shocking" and any respite she had from taking prescribed steroids has gone. She explained: "It was DJ Fat Tony's wedding and I had to take them to get through that, but I'm off them now and the sickness is really kicking back in."
