Dominic West has spoken candidly about the public outrage over his 2020 kiss with Lily James during the filming of ‘The Pursuit of Love.’ West, married to Catherine FitzGerald since 2010, was photographed with James in Rome, prompting a media frenzy.
After the incident, West and FitzGerald addressed paparazzi outside their home, declaring their strong marriage. West’s comments come after he portrayed Prince Charles in ‘The Crown,’ which he says has helped him understand the scrutiny and horror of having his personal life in the headlines.
West credits his real-life experience with informing his portrayal of Charles, who faced public scrutiny during his marriage to Diana. Despite the stressful situation, West finds moments of humor, joking with his wife about the ‘show of unity’ they would put on in public, mocking the media’s portrayal of their relationship.
West emphasizes the impact on his family but also expresses gratitude for the stronger bond it has fostered. Currently starring in ‘A View from the Bridge,’ West says he and FitzGerald have found a way to navigate the aftermath with grace and humor.
