Ben Affleck proved he was quite the gentleman as he shielded Sienna Miller from the cold at the European premiere of their film, Live By Night.

Affleck, 44, wrapped his co-star in his coat as they braved the chilly temperatures along London’s Southbank for the red carpet event on Wednesday night.

Miller, 35, looked stunning in a slinky monochrome dress which she teamed with a black clutch, but it didn’t offer much protection from the cold, so Affleck stepped in.

The US actor was prepared for the weather in a navy three piece suit which he teamed with a large black coat.

Miller plays Irish femme fatale Emma Gould, the love interest of Joe Coughlin in the gangster film and recently opened up about shooting a “marathon” sex scene with the actor.

“Ben and I are like brother and sister, thank God, so there was no awkwardness,” she told E!. “There was just a lot of stupid giggling. He's very professional—I am not, but he is.

“There was a montage in the script saying we did it everywhere: in the car, in the bar...I was like, 'That's an entire day of just love scenes! OK. How do we do this?'

“Obviously, by the time nine hours of it has gone past, I was shaking with tears running down my face. I mean, I can't tell you – but you have to laugh. Ben is just professional. It is what it is.”

Affleck and Miller were also joined by their co-stars Robert Glenister, Chris Messina and Jennifer Todd.

Live By Night is slated for UK cinema release on January 13.
