Gavin & Stacey star Mathew Horne, known for his role as Gavin Shipman, was spotted at Glastonbury Festival over the weekend, maintaining his signature low profile. Despite a fallout with co-star James Corden years ago, which led him to step back from fame, Horne enjoyed a quiet morning with his wife, Celina Bassili, at Worthy Farm.

Dressed in a black sweatshirt, shorts, and a baseball cap, the 46-year-old actor blended in with the crowd. Festival-goers recognized him only after hearing his distinctive voice. “Mat’s grown his hair, so he was almost unrecognizable,” an onlooker told MailOnline. “He was sitting quietly with his wife, soaking up the sunshine—no fanfare, unlike other stars.”

Horne’s last major public appearance was in the 2023 Gavin & Stacey Christmas special, which drew 18 million viewers. However, he’s since embraced a quieter life, contrasting sharply with Corden’s Hollywood career. While Corden found success in Broadway and The Late Late Show, Horne focuses on family.

The actor married set designer Celina in a secret 2021 ceremony at a 1930s mansion in Norway. The couple, who began dating in 2019, reportedly welcomed a child shortly after their wedding. Close friends, including Corden and co-star Joanna Page, were informed but the couple kept the news private. “Mathew is a brilliant dad and prefers life out of the spotlight,” a source revealed.

Horne’s relationship with Celina became public in 2019 after photos emerged of them kissing during Gavin & Stacey filming. This followed his split from ex-fiancée Evelyn Hoskins, a Casualty actress, in 2018.

Despite his fame, Horne avoids Hollywood glitz. Celina’s Instagram offers rare glimpses into their life, including snaps from Glastonbury, where the pair debated which bands to watch. Horne last attended the festival in 2009, long before his family-focused chapter began.

Fans praised his down-to-earth vibe at the event, proving that even after stepping back from fame, Horne’s charm remains as relatable as his iconic TV role.
