Dominic West has revealed that pictures of him kissing actress Lily James being published in the press “informed” how he portrayed Prince Charles in The Crown.
In October 2020, co-stars James and West were photographed embracing while they were in Rome.
West, 54, who is married, now says the ensuing tabloid imbroglio helped him play the role of Charles, while he was Prince of Wales, in The Crown.
The actor told The Times: “I’d had a very acute understanding of what it’s like to feel the horror of your name or your photo in the newspapers.
“There is that dreadful, freezing moment when something is revealed about you. I think anyone can understand how that feels.
“But I’d been through it, and it must have informed how I approached it. That gut feeling of horror isn’t something you get inured to.”
