Ioan Gruffudd has claimed estranged wife Alice Evans brutally mocked his appearance in a request for joint custody of their daughters.
The actor, 48, filed the request in in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday last week - months after Alice, 53, filed for sole custody of daughters Elsie, eight, and Ella, 12.
In the filing, Ioan recalled details of his 14-year marriage with the 102 Dalmatians actress, alleging that Alice had been verbally abusive.
