Four years after finding himself in the middle of a controversy, Dominic West decided to talk about the alleged affair he had with fellow actress Lily James. In October 2020, the actors were spotted on a scooter ride through Italy. He also caressed her neck during lunch.
At the time, they starred together in the series “The Pursuit of Love”. After the images became news in the press, West and his wife posed together for photos in front of the couple’s home and stated that their marriage was strong and that they would remain together.
Now, the actor recalls the episode and says that the period was very difficult for Catherine FitzGerald and her children, but says that the couple jokes about the situation nowadays.
“I hesitate to speak on my wife’s behalf because it was obviously horrible, especially for her. Whenever we went out together, the newspapers said we were ‘putting on a show of unity’. Even if we were arguing about parking the car or something.”
“So, when we left, we said: ‘Are we going to do a demonstration of unity in London?’. It was an absurd situation,” he said.

The interpreter of King Charles in “The Crown” also stated that the scandal helped him in his interpretation of the monarch in the series. Lily played Lady Rose in the series “Downton Abbey“.
“There’s that terrible freezing moment when something is revealed about you. That feeling of horror is not something you’re used to.”
