He may be big news in Hollywood thanks to his award-winning portrayal of Brody in Homeland, but Damian Lewis is still a London boy at heart.
The actor stood back to let his real-life leading lady Helen McCrory enjoy her moment in the spotlight as they arrived at the Evening Standard Film Awards in their hometown of London on Monday night.
The Skyfall actress, 44, went for understated glamour in a black satin sleeveless top, maxi skirt and carried a Kate Spade clutch as she posed outside the London Film Museum on the Southbank.
