Damian took to the stage to share a few words in support of Paul and introduced him, as well as Holdovers co-star DaVine Joy Randolph to the audience at the UK event.

Hugh Bonneville was also spotted at the event, but the only person missing was fellow Billions co-star Kelly AuCoin (Dollar Bill Stern), who also had a small part in the film. Kelly recently took to Instagram to share of photo and him and Paul on the set of the film, telling his followers how much fun he had filming the movie.

Damian and his children, daughter Manon (who wore her mother’s dress) and son Gulliver (who wore his father’s famous mustard coat), attended the Warner Bros. Pictures World Premiere of Wonka at The Royal Festival Hall on Tuesday, November 28, 2023 in London, England. They walked the red carpet as part of the VIP arrivals to see Damian’s former Homeland co-star Timothée Chalamet, who plays Wonka in the musical fantasy film. See more photos of their red carpet arrivals in our Gallery here. The film follows a young Willy Wonka, presenting a prequel story to the Roald Dahl classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Other stars in attendance were Calah Lane, Keegan-Michael Key, Paterson Joseph, Matt Lucas, Mathew Baynton, Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Jim Carter, Olivia Colman and Hugh Grant. For those who may not remember, Matt Lucas joined the FeedNHS initiative alongside Damian and Helen McCrory, a charity they started during the CoVid-19 pandemic.

Damian Lewis Attended 67 Pall Mall’s Steven Spurrier Celebration

Master of the Cork

Damian attended a party on Thursday, October 12, 2023 at 67 Pall Mall to celebrate the life of wine expert Steven Spurrier, author of A Life of Wine. The 67 Pall Mall Group is a collection of private Members’ Clubs devoted to fine wine. Spurrier is the founder of the Académie du Vin, France’s first private wine school established in Paris in 1973. I can’t help but think of Damian’s Billions co-star Paul Giamatti with his memorable quote from the film Sideways, “If anyone orders Merlot, I’m leaving. I am NOT drinking any fucking Merlot!” 😉

“And, am I allowed to say this, ‘due to popular demand’, we’ve just added three more dates at the start of November so, all of you in Basingstoke, Eastleigh and Milton Keynes, get your glad rags on.”

The tour is due to kick off on September 9 in Nottingham before heading to Birmingham, Cardiff, Bristol, Brighton and Manchester – and then playing shows shows in Leeds and Gateshead in October.
