He’s known for his role in Billions playing the ambitious manager of a hedge fund Bobby ‘Axe’ Axelrod.
But English actor Damian Lewis, 45, has revealed the lavish lifestyle led by his character is a stark contrast to the life he leads off screen.
Speaking to TV Week, Damian said that although he enjoys playing the role of a rich business man, money isn’t that important to him or his family.
‘We don’t think money is terribly important in our family.
