Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, and Amanda Seyfried have braved the cold in London for the 'Les Misérables' world premiere.
Also on the red carpet on Wednesday night was the dashing Eddie Redmayne, Russell Crowe and musical theatre star Samantha Barks, who makes her film debut in the adaptation of the hit musical.

Valjean is a former prisoner turned pillar of society in 19th century Paris, who seeks redemption, while his Nemesis Inspector Javert (Russell Crowe) hunts him down.
The role involved taking a huge singing role for Jackman - who has previous musical form on stage as 'The Boy From Oz', and in front of a worldwide audience when he hosted the Oscars in 2009.
The juggernaut that is the release of highly-anticipated blockbuster 'Les Misérables' swung into life last week, making its first stop in South Korea.
