The action star kept it casual as he headed off for a day of relaxation after wrapping more intense scenes for the upcoming Mission Impossible installment, slated for release in May.

Reece has been a key figure at INEOS since joining as financial director in 2000, and his fortune was valued at £9.1 billion according to The Sunday Times Rich List.
