Keith?
by Gingersnap | damian-lewis.com | February 19, 2019
Earlier this month Damian tweeted the Keith? trailer, a new comedy by playwright Patrick Marmion and inspired by Moliere, which is playing at the Arcola Theatre from February 13 – March 9 in London. It is described as, “A South African gunrunner turned Buddhist monk. A gullible startup millionaire. His radical feminist ex wife. Their aid worker daughter. The young British Muslim she met in Syria. An ethical Serbian hitman. And an unstable Brazilian cleaner.”

Today, this picture surfaced on social media of Damian with Patrick Marmion, showing Keith? adverts in the background. From the look of Damian’s outfit, it appears he may have attended the play last night right after the Christopher Kane catwalk show for London Fashion week.

“People have seen my sense of fashion, they would never ask me.”

Caraghers New York is a bar dedicated to Liverpool’s Jamie Carragher and the UK so of course our guy is going to frequent the pub for any LFC match screening while filming Billions in New York. How else to spend some down time? On Wednesday, December 5, 2018 Liverpool came from behind to set a new club record points total after 15 league games of a season after a 3-1 win over Burnley at Turf Moor thanks to goals from James Milner, Roberto Firmino and Xherdan Shaqiri.

Cure EB: The Big Give Christmas Challenge
by Damianista | Fan Fun with Damian Lewis | November 27, 2018
Today is Giving Tuesday! It is a a global day of giving we celebrate on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and kick off the charitable season! So it’s time to be thankful for all the good stuff in our lives and focus on our holiday giving.
Well, most of you know Damian Lewis is a proud patron of Cure EB.

Sohana Collins is a 15 year old teenager who was born with Recessive Dystropic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) which means she lacks the protein that holds her skin together. Kids with RDEB have extremely fragile skin that they are sometimes called “butterfly children.” Lots of activities we take for granted as easy routines in our daily lives are a struggle for them. Can you imagine a day where your dressing up takes up to two hours and eating and drinking cause blisters in your mouth and throat? These kids have to deal with this kind of pain every single day. Besides, they are under extra risk to develop skin cancer later in life and their life expectancy is not very long. Sohana’s parents Sharmila and James Collins founded Cure EB to raise awareness as well as funds for research to ultimately have a cure for this terrible skin condition.
On Sunday, November 18, Damian dined with his aunt and uncle at Pepe’s Pizzeria in New Haven, Connecticut. According to Patch.com, they enjoyed a margherita pie, quattro formaggi and a sausage and peppers pizza. Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana was founded in 1925 by Frank Pepe who was born in the town of Maiori on the Amalfi coast, southwest of Naples. He and his wife started making a simple and humble product from their homeland, “apizza” — they started off baking two types of pizza, one with tomatoes with grated cheese, garlic, oregano and olive oil and the other with anchovy. The Original Tomato Pie is still offered today.

The Redhead Club

Happy National Love Your Red Hair Day! Who comes to mind when you think of red hair? Lucille Ball? Prince Harry? Jessica Chastain? Not around here! We can think of no one else but Damian Lewis when it comes to red hair. Damian is one of the most recognizable redheads in the entertainment business, and he’s proud of it! Even James Corden, host of The Late Late Show, agrees that Damian is one of the world’s most famous redheads at 2:23 in:
We fans celebrate Damian everyday, but it’s also special to celebrate one of his most identifiable traits, that flaming red hair, with the rest of the world today! BAFTA LA didn’t miss out on the fun today either, tweeting this to Damian:
.@lewis_damian is outstanding for many reasons; He's a risk taker in the New Age of TV, excels at his craft and spends his downtime spreading awareness for various causes. But his biggest achievement is being the face of a very important community:The Gingers! #NationalRedheadDaypic.twitter.com/JudoOV6Ick
As The Independent explains, from fiery copper to strawberry blonde and deep burgundy, whatever your shade, today is a day for redheads to celebrate their tresses. And by red hair, we mean TRUE red hair, right Damian? No fake redheads allowed!
National Love Your Red Hair Day is celebrated every year on November 5 in the U.S. and May 19 in the UK. The day is also celebrated in the Netherlands on the first weekend of September in the city of Breda. Called Roodharigendag, the two-day festival, which inaugurated in 2005, is attended by thousands of people with natural red hair. No matter where you are in the world, there is a day dedicated to celebrating the beauty of ginger locks.

One Button Press, One Camera Shutter Click, and You Get This:
by Jemma Dodd | Olympus Magazine | Issue 59
Photo by: Debbi Clark
Debbi Clark has had work featured in Vogue, Homme, and Tatler, photographed the likes of Kate Moss and Damian Lewis and set up her own charity. We speak to the woman who’s capable of it all…
When did you become interested in photography?
It was when I was studying fashion and design at St. Martin’s College when I fell in love with photography. I used to photograph landscapes, capturing patterns in trees, flowers, grass picturing shapes, shadows and formations in clouds. I became so obsessed with how fascinating it was playing with light that I wanted to learn the technical side to really bring my images to life. I then went on to LCP and studied photography and printing. My first camera was the Olympus PEN-F 35mm film camera, which I still love and use.
You’ve photographed the likes of Kate Moss, Paul Weller and Damian Lewis. How did your journey into photographing such big names begin?
As a photographer, I love taking portraits. I have been extremely fortunate to have photographed some of the most iconic people in the world, including Kate Moss, Paul Weller, Damian Lewis and Helen McCrory, which began when I founded Sir Hubert von Herkomer Arts Foundation, a charity that I am CEO of. The charity supports young people by inspiring them in the arts, giving them lifelong skills that they can develop their artistic passions through. I work with many models, actors and singers on commissions, and because I work with them as a professional photographer, I was able to approach many of my artists to ask if they would let me take their portrait and exhibit each year to fundraise for Sir HVH Arts Foundation, supporting my passion in the arts and passing it on to young people to encourage and nurture through the arts.
Of all the people you’ve photographed, what was your most memorable shoot?
I have many memories and stories as each time I take a portrait there is always something that happens to make that portrait so special. I do remember the time when Helen McCrory phoned me and said, “Damian is shaving off the tash, beard and sideburns today.” Being such a passionate advocate and patron of Sir HVH Arts Foundation, Helen McCrory managed to weave her magic, and off I went to take a portrait of Damian Lewis dressed in a blue denim shirt, with his amazing mop of flame colored hair, tash and sideburns. I remember thinking at the time that the ‘Brut 33’ 70’s style clashed with the blue denim, ginger hair and green glass as I stood above Damian shooting directly down from above – what a color contrast. We shot this image within a 30-minute window – as I rushed out to meet Damian at Swiss Cottage on the grass banks of the sports centre, the skies were clouding over and the rain was imminent. I had my Olympus PEN-F and 45mm lens attached and my LEDGO travel light held high above to fill in as daylight for the lack of light as the clouds were darkening up ready to let go. We managed to shoot two fantastic final images and Damian, Helen and I chose this featured photo as the firm favorite.

An Intergalactic Collision: The Star Wars Experience
by Gingersnap | damian-lewis.com | September 24, 2018
According to this tweet, Damian visited Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in London, Monday, September 24, 2018. Damian is pictured below with the wax figure Yoda of Star Wars. Created in close collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm, Star Wars at Madame Tussauds is a unique, immersive experience starring extraordinarily life-like wax figures of the favorite heroes and villains of Star Wars Episodes I-VI. Guests can explore a galaxy of locations, including the swamps of Dagobah (where Damian found Yoda), Jabba the Hut’s Throne Room and the flight deck of the Millennium Falcon. Now we just need a Wax Damian campaign!
It appears Damian hit the courts again, this time at Prospect Park Tennis Center in Brooklyn, New York. Ever the gentleman, he posed for a picture with some fans who claim they “let him win.” He’s got quite the backhand ladies!
