Willem is no stranger to a runway as he walked for Prada to unveil their autumn collection during Milan Fashion Week back in 2012.

The show, became known as ‘The Villains,’ as it also featured Gary Oldman, Adrien Brody, Eli Roth and other veteran actors known for portraying sinister characters on-screen.

It comes just months after the actor cosied up to his wife of 19 years Giada Colagrande, 48, on the Beetlejuice 2 red carpet during Venice Film Festival opening ceremony.

The actor, who portrays Wolf Jackson in the Tim Burton sequel, looked happier than ever with his wife as they posed for photos.

Although they keep their relationship relatively low-key, Willem – who married Giada just one year after they met – previously shared details of his romance with the Italian beauty in an article written for The Guardian.

The lovestruck actor explained: ‘I met my wife on the street in Rome in 2004. I knew of her because I’d seen her films and we had some mutual friends.

‘Getting married was very impulsive and romantic. We were having lunch and I said: “Do you want to get married tomorrow?” I called up City Hall and they said: “If you get here in the next couple of hours, you can register and then you can get married tomorrow.” So we ran down there.

‘We married the next day with just two witnesses, our best friends: my manager and her editor.’
