I gotta, sorry folks who are sick of me 🫣😜
I feel like not enough people know this photo is cropped. The unedited one is 🤌
I’ve never seen the un-cropped one I caaaant 😭😂
This is hilarious. And so upper-class British.
Upper class twit. In my zip code, a putz.
The open-mouthed gape, the ‘oh fuck’-look in his eyes: he looks like the world’s poshest garden gnome. Only thing missing is a tiny pointy red hat. This photo truly belongs in a museum.
It’s not very good, but here you go
Are you kidding me that is perfect 😂
To compound it further and make it even better is he stars in a show that is ENTIRELY centered on taking a deep dive into the anotomy of having an affair as an older married man with a younger woman and all of its painful fallout.
I’ve only ever seen him as the Dr in Brassic, which kind of fits with this photo
Honestly this is much funnier than the cropped one and I vote this gets posted more frequently. K thanks.
it looks like a safari photo lmaooo
Thank you for your service 🫡
It's like that scene of The Time Traveller's wife 😭
This photo is me whenever I leave a comment I know has the potential to start shit.

Oh!!! This is even better than the cropped version!! The very best photo on the entire Internet. 💀💀💀
Bless you
OMG that's absolutely ridiculous!
Omg that's so much better. Or worse. Either way, I am ROLLING!
I always assumed Lily was servicing him below.
LOL was this him mid-kiss scandal??
Yeah he was literally hiding in bushes when not making awkward appearances with his wife.
Absolutely! They left a note on the gate basically saying “we are still together and very happy don’t worry about those pictures!!” And he was hiding out watching the paparazzi find the note!! lol amazing
I don't know which is worse:
-The actual story behind this photo
-Me, for awhile now, thinking this photo was him caught in the bushes with Lily James and also thinking "kiss scandal" was a way of describing it cheekily.
don’t worry i also thought the pic was of them getting caught in the bushes together until now 😭
Hahaha I mean either scenario seems entirely possible with the way this guy behaves!
Please tell me you’re joking?!
Oh thank you for explaining it. I knew it was a “hiding from the paps thing” but that’s it
Yes! 😂
LMAOOOO
Me when I saw the gif you chose.
I miss him. What an amazing actor.
Oh indeed
No apologies necessary; this photo is an all-time classic and everyone on this sub needs to know about it.
It really is one of the funniest things on the internet. I laugh every time I see it.
Please continue your work!! I’ll never be sick of this!! 😂
I will never be sick of this photo 😆😆😆
Jesus, what the fuck did I do?
The only proper response. 😂
She's stronger than me, because if my husband publicly cheated on me, during a global pandemic, there's no way I'd laugh about any of it.
They MUST have an open relationship. He’s slept around his whole career.
Bang on the money, apparently it's an open secret in some circles 👀
So he didn't cheat. He's just an idiot for drawing more attention to it all by being brazen with Lily and leaving notes for the press.
It's kind of depressing that we live in a world where they think it's better to have the public think he's a cheater than to just say they've got an arrangement and it's all good.
Though based on the reactions to Will and Jada, I can't say they're neccesarily wrong about keeping it quiet
It’s pretty shitty for them to keep mum for Lily James. She got slut shamed mercilessly. If he has an open marriage then she was a single woman who hooked up with a man who was available-she did nothing wrong yet was called a home wrecker, people started rumors she had hooked up with every man she’s ever worked with, and she’s still talked about like she’s a slut. It’s shitty for him to bring it up again without absolving Lily of any wrongdoing. Making jokes about how he and his wife laugh about it accomplishes nothing except reminding people that they think Lily James tried to break up a marriage.
A lot of powerful men give their wives an ultimatum. "I get to sleep around and you dont, and you have to deal with it unless you want a divorce." This is common in Hollywood and with wealthy men, sports stars, etc and these women are shamed and don't want this known.
If it was truly a secret arrangement then where is the tea on all the wive's boyfriends? Oh right, they actually aren't allowed to have them.
There have been public "arrangement" couples in Hollywood before and its not that of a big deal. Dominic West is pretty much unknown to anyone younger than 25-30 at this point, at least in the states. The Wire season 1 was from 2002 and it doesnt exactly have a GoT or Breaking Bad cultural relevance, and those shows are a decade younger. People would care even less about him. I dont think society is the problem here. I think it’s him and men like him.
I think I came across this while going down a rabbit hole when the pandemic hit while trying to see if The Wire was for me since it had been on my queue forever. It was just a random fan comment that wasn’t even a gossip sub and was like, “Yeah when we’d see them filming in the area. Dominic West is a slut.” Or something super random and out of context just stuck in there that had me like:
I don't think so, otherwise none of those weird post-scandal reactions would have happened. If they really had an open marriage they would have ignored this completely and made zero comments on it, pretending like it never happened. But the bizarre reaction afterwards (hiding in the bushes, creepy unnatural statements and outings to prove "we're still together") makes me think his wife wasn't aware of the open marriage she's in, lol...
I think it's more like his wife pretended not to know for all these years, and he used to be smart enough to keep it on the down low so she could live in denial, happily in peace, never seeing any of it and having proof of any rumors. This attitude is actually quite common, especially in posh circles
Just bc people may have an agreement in private doesn’t mean they are comfortable with the public knowing about it.
I think the commenter is right.
Dominic has said before that he’d never even allow his wife to film the kind of sex scenes he films.
Rules for me and not for thee.
His wife is wealthy in her own right. Smh
I'd assume they have an agreed open relationship because otherwise it makes NO sense lol
Considering how posh they are, it's not unusual
This man seems repulsive on and off screen. I am completely missing any charm.
In that case, he was spot on as Prince Charles on The Crown
and in chicago
oh yes oh yes oh yes they both oh yes they both oh yes they both reached for the gun the gun the gun the gun the gun (free roxie!)
Uhh that was Richard Gere
West played the guy she shot at the beginning of the film
He was so perfectly cast in that that it stuck for me and I only see him in that light.
If you watched The Wire, that sleazy vibe is absolutely part of McNulty's "charm", lol. The phrase "fucking McNulty" was constantly said by different character during the whole run of the series.
I’m convinced he wasn’t really acting, just playing himself.
On the DVD commentary for a season 2 episode him and Michael K Williams spend most of the time talking about a characters breasts (it’s Nico’s gf as she goes topless in one scene). West even starts congratulating the casting director saying “he cast her wearing a jumper but had to just guess she had those eighth wonders hidden away” 😳
I just shuddered
Him driving drunk in the cop cruiser in the first ep chefs kiss
Huh when was this. Gotta rewatch.
He’s not in a cop cruiser it’s his cruiser but here’s the clip! First episode I believe https://youtu.be/sXoLNtd_dg4?si=n_klRSqS-9EHpV5d
“The fuck did I do?!” Is my go to when I’ve been a shit and know it.
Literally what does she see in him? Like, the lady has a full-blown castle. Is that the thing? Does owning a castle make people crazy? It'd explain Joanne.
Enya owns a castle too and last I checked she seemed to be doing all right lol
She doesn't seem to have a trifling husband, though, maybe that's the protective aspect. It's either that or the Irishness.
I've a theory that she's part Aos Sídhe herself, maybe it's that :3
The women who wanted him in the Affair had me ready to fight. This man (in character, but in real life too!) treats women like shit and is quite grimy… so why are the girlies thirsting?
I hated how the showrunner defended Noah.
I loved watching Noah because his terrible decision making was entertaining, but not one ounce of him was redeemable... and somehow he kept snagging amazing gorgeous women.
EXACRTLY. He thinks so highly of himself and he's clearly a "posh" white liberal who treats women like they're objects.
Wasn’t Lily also photographed with Chris Evans in 2020? All I did that year was play zoom quizzes and bake banana bread lmao
Omg that last sentence got me 🤣🤣🤣 the apocalypse was such a wild time I can hardly believe we survived
We did what we could 😄
Apparently who we could too.
Don’t worry, all the raw milk drinking fundies have us on the way to the sequel, H5N1
Is this a FSU crossover comment out in the wild??? Lol 👋
Ahh a person of great taste I see haha
The pandemic sucked. But I wouldn't mind another lockdown and change our life event happening. At least makes 4 years pass rather quickly.
Weren’t there also rumors about her and Armie Hammer having an affair that year? Girl was really trying to Mamma Mia! it 🤣
She was also caught doing coke in the middle of a park.
Ooo, he has a type!
honestly apart from the pamela anderson thing she’s my spirit animal.
like she’s always doing something she “shouldn’t” be
She knows how to have a good time!
Trying really hard to break out the “English rose” image she was afraid to be stereotyped in but it just backfired.
'Deeply stressful for my wife and kids'
Who caused it though 🧐🧐
lol right! “Omg that was such an awful thing for my family, it’s too bad that happened to them through no fault of my own”
