Actor Mark Rylance has revealed his wife Claire van Kampen uses his knighthood status to get tables at renowned eateries.
The 57-year-old actor made it to Queen Elizabeth II's 2017 New Year Honours and was given the title of Knight Bachelor for his services to British theatre.
"People have been very nice about it (the knighthood)... My wife is a bit shameless about it, trying to get reservations in restaurants. I don't think that's quite what Her Maj (the Queen) imagined me doing with this knighthood!" Rylance told Time Out magazine.
The Oscar-winning actor will next be seen in Christopher Nolan's World War II drama, "Dunkirk", in which he plays a mariner.
