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/

I think we all know the type don’t we 🙄

MsTSwift · 13/10/2020 08:06

Actually I was asked out by a very similar character in my twenties handsome older barrister married with kids. My response was ewww- taxi !

"Selfish, reckless, arrogant....not a coincidence" @Inkpaperstars my thoughts exactly!

JudyGemstone · 13/10/2020 08:38

He's my favourite actor - very talented.

Don't much care what he does in his personal life, he's an actor and they're all at it seemingly.

So they don't live in the Irish castle then? Where do they live?

JudyGemstone · 13/10/2020 08:40

Also I wonder if it's no coincidence that he was slated in the papers for saying he was glad Trump got covid, and now this. When I've never seen him in the press at all before 🤔

Delatron · 13/10/2020 08:42

I thought they used to live in Shepherd’s Bush? I lived close by but that was about 10
years ago. I guess they’ve moved out to the country now.

Deliberately named changed so as not to unwittingly give anything away location-wise. Unfortunately there are paps who have already worked it out and set up shop outside. Poor family (not him!)

MsTSwift · 13/10/2020 09:07

I am near Wiltshire and have spotted him (he stands out rather). Dh always disliked him so is being abit “told you so” today!

inchyra · 13/10/2020 09:11

There are paps outside the home of his kids? How is that not a criminal offence?

He’s an actor and his wife is an aristo; unthinkable that he’s not had affairs before, and she’s just turned a blind eye to them. The difference here is that he’s deliberately not being discreet to signal that this is LURVE and he’s leaving his wife; she can’t turn a blind eye to this one.

The scooter pics are repulsive. He looks like Lily’s dad taking her to school.

cabotstove · 13/10/2020 09:12

I'm surprised the manager wasn't more PR conscious

EachandEveryone · 13/10/2020 09:17

I remember reading that his wife wouldn’t marry him until he has got The Wire out of his system.

I wonder what Ruth Wilson really thought of him?

The family live in a very small village in Wiltshire. He looked around several bath schools a few years back.

PimlicoJo · 13/10/2020 09:25

I've always found him unbearable, in fact I gave up watching The Affair because for some reason he just makes my skin crawl. I thought better of Lily James. They should both feel ashamed of themselves.

IncandescentSilver · 13/10/2020 09:29

His wife has made a mistake, being taken in by him.

I thought in that You Tube video he came across as overly loud, faux charming and a bit of a fake. Did he really go to Eton? He seemed a bit out of place in that setting to me.

Chonkyfire · 13/10/2020 09:29

Jeez add these to the coke sniffing in the park pics and Lily really is going to see her career tank. She has that Death on the Nile film coming out too.

I think what makes this even creepier to me is Dominic has played her dad twice (I am sure it is) now in roles 🤢

IncandescentSilver · 13/10/2020 09:30

On reflection, perhaps he it was an act to come across that way, so as to appear to be more of a man of the people...

Annasgirl · 13/10/2020 09:31

@SwedishEdith - ah so that's it. I never knew that (I only know of him since the Affair and then I binge watched The Wire).

EachandEveryone · 13/10/2020 09:33

No, he’s Northern with a Yorkshire accent when he wants to be. He did go to Eaton, you can be in touch with both worlds.

I bet his children have danced around to Mama Mia😟. I’ve totally gone off them

MsTSwift · 13/10/2020 09:44

My parents used to watch mamma Mia 2 on a loop Dh and I couldn’t wait to escape Lily James shouting and wiggling her bottom in blue jeans. Utter cringe.

LaureBerthaud · 13/10/2020 09:45

DW cheated on the mother of his first child. In 2012 he gave an interview to the Daily Mail (I know, I know) claiming his womanising days were over Hmm

Really army? What an interesting family life you must have. Probably best not to share any more.

WitchesNStuff · 13/10/2020 10:07

I don't think the age gap is particularly alarming, I definitely would have been interested in a 50 yo at 31, always found men my old age unattractive and boring but the fact that he is so openly doing this is vile.

I totally blame him, he is married and has a responsibility to his family. She may well know exacty what she is doing also but it is also possible that he has been bullshitting her.

I had a BF when I was about 19, he was late 20s, he used to stay at my house a few of times a week, basically all weekend and often during the week too. He said he had a couple of kids which he visited regularly. Turns out he was actually living with them still and was still supposedly in a relationship with her.

I wasn't a naive 19 yo, I did feel there was something a bit off but the fact he stayed over and messaged me/called me every day during the day and evenings meant I didn't think it was that he was actually still living there.

I digress, and I am not letting her off the hook, but it really irritates me that some pp actually are putting this onto her.

user1471565182 · 13/10/2020 10:23

That photo set is arranged, I'd bet you a million squid. Hes too much of a coward to break up with his wife so either he or she set that up.

mrscampbellblackagain · 13/10/2020 10:23

I wouldn't put it all on Lily, of course not he is the one who is married. But it takes a certain type of person to have a very public liaison with a married father of 4.
