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/

TBF they aren’t actually doing anything. It’s a bit what I’d do with a brother or cousin.

A brother and sister did in fact partake of similar at Motherwell train station in Lanarkshire some years back. Unfortunately they were standing in full view of the friendly CCTV camera at the time. The judge was suitably unimpressed.

I do hope DW’s wife doesn’t have to sell that lovely castle of her’s to pay him off in the ensuing divorce. To think he nearly married Samantha Cameron too.

He's an absolute slime ball, I can imagine what his poor children are going through.

And her... I just couldn't enjoy myself with a man knowing I was about to week havoc on 5 lives, 4 innocent children
I just couldn't.

@BewilderedDoughnut

He’s a bit of a hottie to be fair. I can’t say I blame her. Sucks for the wife of course but despite what she says, it seems like it’s been over for a while.
Do you know Dominic or his wife? How do you know it was over? If you read the relationship section on here, wives are usually the last to know, although never like this!

Anyone else slightly suspicious about this?

Multiple high quality, up-close (although I guess they could have been taken from some distancy away) photos of 2 not terribly famous people wearing masks in Rome? Also, the photos are by Backgrid, the "dial a pap" agency favoured by Kim Kardahian and other 'celebrities' when they want to pretend they just happened to be ambushed by paps when going about their business.

I think someone arranged this 'pap' set-up. But who?

Annasgirl · 12/10/2020 22:20

Wow, Samantha dodged a bullet!!! He does seem to love posh women, can’t see what they find attractive in him though.

He always seemed slimy to me so his behaviour is not a surprise, but I thought Lily seemed really likeable and nice before all this. They’ve both made themselves look awful, I feel for his wife.

lesleyw1953 · 12/10/2020 22:22

The pair of them are slimy an cruel - especially if the wife thinks they were happily married.

SetPhasersTaeMalkie · 12/10/2020 22:22

Are they promoting a film or something?

Howlooseisyourgoose · 12/10/2020 22:23

There's not that much of an age gap. 19 years isn't that bad.

19 year old is a lot, it's a whole adult person!

GarlicSoup · 12/10/2020 22:25

@Lottapianos

Well, he is super hot. Also super MARRIED of course. FFS Lily- really not a good look. Totally disgusted with him too btw
Crikey surely he is the one you should be ‘disgusted’ with rather than “him too“ Lily James isn’t bloody married.
MsTSwift · 12/10/2020 22:25

I think they live near us I saw him at Christmas. Chilling this mirroring the affair series.. Very cruel and tacky behaviour. His children are still young. How can he live with himself?

IcedPurple · 12/10/2020 22:27

@YoungBritishPissArtist

Dominic and his wife may have an open marriage, it’s not necessarily infidelity 🤷🏻‍♀️
His wife doesn't appear to be aware of any such arrangement. They're usually not.

In any case, who is likely to get more action? The (supposedly) handsome actor, who spends months at a time filming in foreign countries, surrounded by very attracive women?

Or the woman living in a castle, raising their 4 children?

GarlicSoup · 12/10/2020 22:28

@grapewine

What a foolish thing to do. I honestly thought both of them were smarter. Couldn't she have picked a single man to rebound on?
Hang on, he’s the married one Angry
MadameButterface · 12/10/2020 22:28

They were in Othello together years ago, like a pp says they have same management - could be a set up. There was that publicist AMA in here a little while ago that mentioned that deals are often done with the media where it’s like you can have pictures of x and y doing z, if you drop a story about a and b doing c/if you run a fabulous puff piece about d.

bitheby · 12/10/2020 22:31

Were they supposed to be working? Can't really understand why he was so openly and blatantly on holiday with her otherwise.

IcedPurple · 12/10/2020 22:32

I do hope DW’s wife doesn’t have to sell that lovely castle of her’s to pay him off in the ensuing divorce.

Interesting that we had all these photos of them in the press, followed up within hours by a statement 'from a friend' that she had no idea and is totally devastated.

Maybe I'm being a bit conspiratorial, but I''m wondering if she knew what he was up to and decided to catch him in the act publicly? Would be a bit embarrassing for their children but I do think someone set up these photos. Way too many high quality photos for 2 people who aren't that likely to have paps trailing after them.

Nikori · 12/10/2020 22:32

I don't see how this is a publicity stunt. He's married with 4 kids. This is not good publicity for either of them.

WorriedMum1984 · 12/10/2020 22:33

She was on a blind a while ago, not sure if it was Blindgossip or AGC but it was when the pictures of her and Chris Evans (the actor not radio host!!) were published in the papers. The blinds said that she’d infact informed the paps of their locations...

Delatron · 12/10/2020 22:34

I do think something doesn’t add up. It’s too out in the open and staged. Would you really care so little about your children and wife seeing you cavorting around Italy with another women? And the lunch with the manager together? I don’t know what to make of it. Still think he’s an arse though.

Notverybright · 12/10/2020 22:35

But why would they set up something that makes them both look bad? I would think this fit Lily James’ public image at all.

grapewine · 12/10/2020 22:37

Hang on, he’s the married one angry

I know. I said both of them, and I mean it. He's an arsehole. That's a given. But she knew he is married with children. She could have not gone there.

Nikori · 12/10/2020 22:37

I don't think they actually live in the castle. The Mail says their family home is in Wiltshire.
