British actor Martin Clunes is emerging as a potential Hollywood breakout star for 2026. He recently starred in Emerald Fennell's "Wuthering Heights" alongside Margot Robbie, portraying Cathy Earnshaw's father. Clunes spoke highly of Robbie's performance, noting her return to work just 11 weeks after giving birth.
Looking ahead, Clunes is preparing for a new film role as part of a thriller set during the Jack the Ripper era. The 19th-century crime story, provisionally titled "Black Palace," is set within Buckingham Palace and reportedly features the Queen's grandson as a suspect.
Clunes, widely recognized for his role as Doc Martin, lives on a 135-acre farm in Beaminster, Dorset, with his wife, producer Philippa Braithwaite. The couple, who have worked together on numerous projects including "Doc Martin," also share a passion for horses and dogs.
Their daughter, Emily, is studying to become an equine vet. The family's passion for dogs led Martin to write a book about training their two Jack Russells. He is also set to support the Goodwoof dog festival in West Sussex.
