musings about the actor and the characters he brings to life
We got the first hint during the filming of “Our Kind of Traitor.”
In one of the scenes filmed on the banks of River Thames in London, Damian Lewis was dressed head to toe in Aquascutum.
Damian’s character, Hector Meredith wore the trademark raincoat, had thick rimmed glasses, and the Harrys of London for Aquascutum Julian Kudu Suede Dark Brown Desert Boots. Continue reading “Throwback Thursday to Damian Lewis in Aquascutum Ad Campaign”
Hello everyone! While the original post is from more than three years ago, it is my pleasure to share it again when I notice a recent tweet about Damian taking the subway in NYC or the tube in London.
