News about Damien Lewis

Damien Lewis has revealed the one mistake he thinks he made with his children as he reveals what life is really like with his 'noisy family'. The actor, 53, opened up about his very private family life to Nick Grimshaw and Angela Harnett on an episode of their podcast Dish. The Homeland star shares two children Manon, 18, and Gulliver, 16, with his late wife, actress Helen McCrory.

Actor Akili McDowell has been arrested and charged with murder in connection with the shooting death of a 20-year-old man in Houston, Texas on July 20. McDowell, 21, who has starred in Billions (left with Damien Lewis in 2020) and David Makes Man (right with show executive producer Oprah Winfrey in 2019), was booked into the Harris County Jail on Thursday, August 1 on charges of murder and theft (inset). The Harris County Sheriff's Office confirmed McDowell had been charged with the murder of Cesar Peralta in a social media post on August 3. Deputies responded to an incident that occurred in the parking lot of an apartment complex at 13503 North Thorntree, near Wallisville and Uvalde in East Harris County. Peralta was found to have sustained gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Per online jail records, McDowell is being held on $400,000 bond for the murder charge and has a court appearance scheduled for Monday, August 5.

Kate Moss proved herself to be the ultimate party girl on Tuesday night, dashing from a London dinner with new pal Taylor Swift to join another star-studded bash. The supermodel's first stop of the night was Notting Hill restaurant Casa Cruz where she dined with Taylor Swift and the US star's new London girl squad Cara Delevingne, Andrew Scott and Phoebe Waller Bridge. But after the dinner the party girl made a dash across town to her friend Charlotte Tilbury's house party where she was spotted mingling with the likes of Sienna Miller, Noel Gallagher and Damien Lewis until the early hours.

Noel Gallagher enjoyed a rare night out with his lookalike daughter Anais on Wednesday night.  The Oasis legend, 57, who is very close to his eldest child, 24, brought her along to make-up artist Charlotte Tilbury's star-studded  house party. The pair partied with the likes of Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and Damien Lewis at the event until the early hours. 

On June 5, 1944, 36 members of the SAS became the first troops to land on French soil as the vanguard for Operation Overlord (inset, British soldiers landing on Sword Beach in Normandy, June 6, 1944). By the time the entire SAS force had been dropped in, there were some 180 men at arms. They were led by one-armed Frenchman Pierre-Louis Bourgoin (left, in 1944). A second D-Day landing operation was being planned, one that would involve sailing British and American warships directly into Saint-Malo, to land troops. For Bourgoin's mission, a dozen 4x4 Willys jeeps bristling with rapid-firing Vickers-K machine-guns had been parachuted in (bottom right). But when one German soldier escaped from an otherwise perfectly set ambush, Bourgoin and his men ended up being hunted. The SAS would later escape Brittany, and the Allies ultimately seized Saint-Malo later in 1944 after the success of the Normandy landings.

Captain Bob Walker-Brown (left) had parachuted into this remote part of northern Italy with 33 members of the SAS under his command, writes DAMIEN LEWIS. Despite the freezing temperatures, the men had no alpine gear (bottom right, elite British troops in ski gear). Their mission was to wreak utter havoc and mayhem in the enemy's rear, so provoking Hitler's commander in chief in Italy to send in thousands of troops to hunt them down. As the bait in a trap designed to draw the enemy from the Gothic Line, the SAS commander and his men were poised to launch their first ambush. It was late December 1944, and they were hidden amongst the trees of a night-dark Italian hillside. Walker-Brown waited until the leading trucks had driven into the heart of the ambush, before giving the order to open fire. A phalanx of Bren light machine-guns let rip, bullets ripping into the leading vehicles. Moments later the first mortar bomb slammed down, spraying jagged shrapnel amongst the enemy convoy. As troops tried to leap from the vehicles and to find cover, so the first truck exploded in a violent burst of flame.

Since it first aired almost a decade ago, it has captivated history enthusiasts for ever. Wolf Hall, a Hilary Mantel's trilogy's adaptation, primarily focuses on Thomas Cromwell's ascension and then abrupt fall from grace in Henry VIII's courthouse, which premiered in 2015. With a new diverse cast, the third and final part, The Mirror and the Sun, is back. Damien Lewis portrays Henry VIII, while Mark Rylance reimagines his role as Cromwell. Anne Seymour, Queen Jane's third cousin, is depicted by Cecilia Appiah. Jonathan Pryce portrays Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, while Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Henry's trusted aide, is Ralph Sadler. Margery Wentworth, Queen Jane's mother, is depicted in Sarah Priddy's final portrait.

In a recent poster for her upcoming film, the Ministry Of Ungently Warfare, Eiza Gonzalez seemed as beautiful as ever. The pinup posted a new poster, and the film company also posted many pictures and clips on Instagram. The 34-year-old actress is seen sporting a ark suit with her hair pulled up as she wields a big gun. 'Keep calm and mark your calendar April 19th To see these chaps and I kick arss (Lucky me! (She wrote in her caption, )' She replied in her caption. This comes as Eiza was chastised for saying she had been turned down on film roles because she's 'too pretty.'

They were the men accused by Winston Churchill of executing a "butcher-and-bolt reign of terror" behind enemy lines. One was a swashbuckling English chief, the other being a Danishman who preferred shooting with a bow and arrow. Gus March-Phillipps (inset left) and Anders Lassen were central figures in a mission that seemed more at home in a spy book than a thriller in January 1942. The clandestine Small Scale Raiding Force, which was under the command of the equally top-secret Special Operations Executive, was charged with captureting German and Italian vessels (one shown top right) from Spanish territory (bottom right, the island of Fernando Po) and sailing them to British-ruled Nigeria. This extraordinary act of piracy was a huge success, thanks in large part to future James Bond author Ian Fleming, who was then the SOE's liaison at the Admiralty. Now, celebrated director Guy Ritchie is expected to bring Operation Postmaster's tale to a big screen in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, the trailer for which was revealed this week. Henry Cavill (left) as March-Philipps and Alan Ritchson as Anders Lassen, according to historian Damien Lewis' similarly titled 2014 film.

On April 10, 1945, Captain John Scott was given the Military Medal for his vain attempts during World War II to help save eight commandos stuck in a ditch. It is one of many works of artefacts and medals being auctioned off by Captain Scott's family on February 7 and 8.

In September 1943, British and French soldiers arrived in Taranto, Italy, where the local railway station rioted to capture the locomotive. They took it 50 miles deep into a Nazi-controlled zone, where hundreds of prisoners, including Jewish civilians, were held in savage conditions. The raiding party stormed out of the train and ambushed the Italian and German guards, denying 180 prisoners the opportunity to escape. The prisoners were loaded onto the train, which sped back to liberated territories with the Germans in a frantic chase. And the soldiers arrested the Pisticci camp commander in order to bring him to justice. Major Oswald Cary-Elwes (left) and his French deputy, Raymond Couraud, were involved in the daring operation, which involved 50 commandos, on September 13-14, 1943. It has come to light 80 years after historian Damien Lewis discovered classified information about it in the Kew archives, which were then lost.

On Thursday evening, the great and good of fashion descended on London for the Vogue World bash, which was branded the UK's Met Gala. Though the annual New York event has been praised as the most important on the fashion calendar, London's version did not appear to be on point as talent was on display at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, which was not particularly impressive. Newspaper commentators were split on the occasion, which acts as a fundraiser for the UK's performing arts industry, with the magazine's Editor-in-Chief Anna handling proceedings and Vogue editor Edward Enninful attending.

The Gavin and Stacey actress (pictured left at the premiere and right earlier this month) took to the stage to perform a comedy sketch alongside other well-known performers, including Sienna Miller, James McAvoy, and Damien Lewis. The actors pretended to be ushers, reminding the audience that the performance at Theatre Royal Drury Lane was over and that they should leave as they began throwing garbage away. However, viewers watching from home have reacted anxiously, with others on X, formerly known as Twitter, expressing their dissatisfaction with Corden's on screen performance.

The actress, 72, appeared on the stage at Theatre Royal Drury Lane as part of a comedy skit starring James Corden, Sienna Miller, Damien Lewis, and James McAvoy. As she made a jibe at artificial intelligence, she took the time during her brief appearance at the high-end fashion festival to express her support for the SAG-AFTRA strikes.

Hundreds of BGC workers who were killed in the 9/11 terror attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York in 2001 are killed every year. The charity day has raised about £150 million since its inception, with the group donating 100% of its funds from the day's trading to charitable causes.

Eiza Gonzalez stepped out in Los Angeles on Tuesday, turning heads. The 33-year-old Mexican-born actress, who was recently seen on a lunch outing, showed her ripped abdomen as she left a workout. In a black Nike sports bra and skintight olive green leggings, the stunner praised her gym-honed figure.

While out and about in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon, Eiza Gonzalez made jaws drop. The 33-year-old actress, who was enjoying some much-needed downtime as a Hollywood celebrity, decided to have lunch at a local sushi joint with pals. The actress flaunted her gym-honed figure in tight beige bicycle shorts and a cropped white top en route to the restaurant.

Malcolm Pleydell was the first doctor to join the SAS after its creation by Lieutenant-David Stirling in 1941, and he received the coveted Military Cross for his services. According to historian Damien Lewis, he was instrumental in the aftermath of the disastrous "Operation Bigamy" raid on Italian-controlled Benghazi in September 1942, which'sinned against just about every founding precept of the SAS.' In Mr Lewis' latest book SAS Great Escapes II, which was released last month, the tale of Pleydell and his herois is told. The book describes how he saved the lives of many seriously wounded men in his care before leading hundreds of other less injured men more than 600 miles across a mostly open desert. However, he had to cope with the tragic death of four of the most seriously wounded four children after they were left behind near Benghazi because there was no space to carry them. Another man, whose name was 'Razor Blade,' died as a result of losing a coin and having to wait with the wounded in the hopes that the enemy would treat them. According to Pleydell's Military Cross citation, he 'attended to the wounded without any concern of his own safety,' including removing a bullet from one man's thigh as a German plane circled overhead.

The prospect of venturing into a secluded cave alone would cause them to be trembling. But for former teacher Tommy Soames (pictured left with author Damien Lewis), it was his idea of fun until he became trapped inside and decided he would die alone with no hope of rescue. That's exactly what happened when he was cavern hunting (entrance shown top right) near Montenegro's picturesque Lake Skadar last year. He survived the six-hour ordeal by tearing out pages from historian Damien Lewis' book SAS Great Escapes (bottom right) and using them, Hansel and Gretel-style, to mark every dead end until he figured out how to get out. Mr Lewis later received an email from the adventurer, who told him: 'Your book saved my life.' Last week, the pair (left) and the author's new book, SAS Great Escapes II, appeared together at the Churchill War Rooms in Westminster.

In a picture shared to her Instagram Story on Tuesday morning, Eiza Gonzalez demonstrated her sculpted form. In the photograph, the 33-year-old performer showcased her flat midriff while making the most of 'another day on set.' The actress, who was recently seen stepping out in New York City, is now working on the forthcoming action film The Ministry of Ungently Warfare.

Gogglebox is celebrating ten years on screen, having first appeared on screens in 2013. The show has been one of Channel 4's most unexpected hits, and it still draws in strong viewership after a decade of meme-worthy moments and breakout stars. The idea, which was based on Brits' reactions to the week's biggest TV moments while sat in their living rooms, became a huge hit.

A new six-part television series takes a new look at the story of the Cambridge spies by investigating Kim Philby's tragic behaviour and casting two main Hollywood actors.

Steve Bland, a chef from Cheshire, said he had had the 'perfect' wedding day to nurse Amy, who died of breast cancer in 2018 (top inset, Rachael, and left, Steve with Amy). The couple announced their engagement in December and tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Cheshire yesterday (right and bottom set).
