The 26-year-old actor and his wife Evan Rachel Wood are expecting a child together, after marrying last year. Wood's publicist Amanda Silverman confirmed the pregnancy and said the couple were "thrilled".

Bell found fame as the talented young dancer in UK movie hit Billy Elliot, later to become a musical stage show.

Other movie successes have included Peter Jackson's King Kong remake and he provided the voice of Tintin in Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn.
