Its like The Affair in real life. When he was McNulty he was playing around then just like that character. He tales method acting seriously. I love everything hes ever been in. No need to guess shes nearly half is age www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/12912518/dominic-west-wife-devastated-heartbroken-lily-james/

@Delatron

Whilst I feel sorry for the wife, in the latest pictures outside their house she is kind of lunging at him to kiss him, he’s standing back with his hands in his pockets. Just ditch him. Arrogant twat. Apparently he’s not wearing his wedding ring. It’s like she’s told him to stand outside the house and play happy families.
Who does he think he is? A Tory minister in trouble? He’s just an old lech. I pity him.
Emmapeeler2 · 13/10/2020 15:04

He was gorgeous in Les Mis too IMO. And The Hours. (Burton and Taylor you say?)

However if he turned out to be creepo groper, I wouldn't be 100% astonished.

Cassilis · 13/10/2020 15:06

He and his wife have made an appearance today outside their home and posed for cameras [shock

BackLashStarts · 13/10/2020 15:06

@twilightcafe chrishell’s dh filed for divorce without telling her so she found out via a gossip site. Similar ostentatiously shitty behaviour.

Dailyhandtowelwash · 13/10/2020 15:06

Such a middle-aged nappy arse. Yuerch.

cabotstove · 13/10/2020 15:13

I don't find him attractive

JudyGemstone His wife doing the photos with him made me Hmm Great username, I loved the Righteous Gemstones
Back at you, I love Malcolm in the Middle Smile

Urgh. It is very reminiscent of Piers Merchant, Tory MP, snogging his wife on their doorstep after being caught cheating on her with a blonde teenager in the 90s.

Really gives me the creeps.

Oh! I thought she'd been dallying with Dominic West as well. Grin
Graciebobcat · 13/10/2020 15:38

Probably nothing in it, certainly not from her perspective. Can't imagine Lily James is that into him, TBH.

Ruth Wilson abruptly left their show, I wonder if he was anything to do with it? Was mega abrupt but she won’t (seeming can’t) discuss it.... equally might be nothing, or an issue with any other cast/ production member

And David Mellor!

I imagine Catherine just desperately wanted to get rid of the paps and this was the easiest & quickest way to do it before the kids get home from school. Give them a few awkward photos and a statement and get them off the doorstep.

I'm pretty sure it was over pay - as in she was paid a lot less than Dominic and Joshua
CoolYourBeansMySon · 13/10/2020 15:52

It's just all so strange. Why the headlines everywhere? Neither of them are particularly newsworthy, are there? Is it just the lack of non-Covid news stories driving it?

CoolYourBeansMySon · 13/10/2020 15:53

@Emmapeeler2

I need to know about the DW too Smile
There's a certain DW actor who is married to the daughter of another DW actor who it has been alleged has been rather boho
dayswithaY · 13/10/2020 15:55

I think I know the Doctor Who previous poster was referring to. He also has four children (maybe more?) If you live in a rented property you are one.

Unless I'm wrong and it's Jon Pertwee.

It was partly about pay I think but also there were issues over the sex scenes eg being reassured it would be a closed set and finding that there was every man and his dog present: also nudity pressure. She felt betrayed by the female producer/director IIRC. Not sure how far it went in terms of grievance or compensation

Thank you both, I can rest easy now Smile I have to say the (alleged) answer does not come as a complete surprise.

dayswithaY · 13/10/2020 16:02

Worzel Gummidge at it with Aunt Sally who'd have thought it?

cabotstove · 13/10/2020 16:11

David Tennant?

I think there are more fans of the Affair than we know and he's basically played himself throughout the whole series. I loved the show by the way! People are fed up of Covid and this is quite juicy and with his recent comments about Trump too....
onedayinthefuture · 13/10/2020 16:20

@Bellieberg

I'm guessing that he guilted / bullied her into doing the photo op. Came home initially contrite and then when he got bored of apologising turned it around on her and put it on her "to keep the family together" etc.

Wild guess but I wouldn't be surprised. She'll look back on this one day and kick herself, even though she's not the one in the wrong here.

That's a very Noah thing to do, it wouldn't surprise me.

Fabulous code Wink

Though my money's on Pertwee: 'nice cup of tea and a slice of cake' was clearly a euphemism Grin

Were there really a shedload of 'paps' camped out on their doorstep? I had no idea Dominic West was such a megastar!

And surely, by making statements and posing for 'happy couple' photos like this, they are basically saying that their marriage is a legitimate subject for media interest? Surely that would be more likely to encourage the 'paps' ? He's only a TV actor, not a politician or public servant. I don't think I've ever seen an actor behave in such a way when accused of infidelity. It's all very strange.
