Usually it is fans that want a selfie with Damian, but this time it seems Damian is the fan. The indie-pop band The Styles posted this photo stating, “We don’t mind taking time out of our busy schedule for a selfie with a fan.” Or perhaps they were being a little cheeky 😉 Further indications reveal Damian and Helen attended a special event, as this photo was taken at the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Yaxley on Saturday evening, September 21, 2019 at Aberglasney Gardens in Wales. Since we know Damian’s half-sibling surname is Yaxley, we are wishing his family happy nuptials! Cheers.

The World of Espionage: Traitor or Hero?

by Dalya Alberge | The Guardian | September 21, 2019

His award-winning performances have included the hit espionage drama series Homeland and he is among actors tipped to take over from Daniel Craig as James Bond. Now Damian Lewis has taken on his first role in a television docudrama about spies, whom he describes as “often quite grubby and banal”, a world away from the glamour of 007.

The Hollywood star presents and produces the eight-part show about some of the most significant espionage operations of the last 40 years. The series features undercover agents – some still identified only by their code names – who were persuaded to tell their stories for the first time.

“I find the different reasons for turning traitor or being a hero, depending on your view, are often quite grubby and banal. I’m interested [in] the motives of these spies. That’s the series we’ve tried to make,” Lewis said.

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Damian Videos

Damian is endorsing his neighbor and fellow Tufnell Park community store Ruby Violet Ice Cream and Sorbet in a crowd sourcing effort. The store is seeking investments to meet exciting new opportunities because the increased demand has made their small kitchen unable to meet the range and size of orders. By upgrading their equipment and workspace, they will be able to meet existing and future demand, and keep innovating.

Helen talks about their spectacular, lip-smacking ice cream that is made with organic milk and fresh fruit in a video located here, where you can also donate to help the crowd funding effort. Ruby Violet Ice specializes in vegan sorbets and exotic creations of unusual flavors. They are the wizards of ice cream and like Damian says, it’s a win, win!
