They have been enjoying wedded bliss for more than twelve years.

And Damian Lewis and his wife Helen McCrory looked every inch the sophisticated couple as they attended the 65th annual Evening Standard Theatre Awards held at The London Coliseum on Sunday.

The Homeland actor, 48, looked dapper at the star-studded event, donning a black blazer and matching trousers with a crisp white shirt and a black bow tie.

Helen, 51, looked radiant as ever as she posed on the red carpet alongside her other half in a black off the shoulder gown.

Poems and Poets Inspired by the Great City of London

by Gingersnap4Helen | helen-mccrory.com | November 26, 2019

The Lord Mayor’s Appeal is going to host their first ever poetry night called Voices of London on Tuesday, November 26, 2019 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Join the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress for a night of inspirational poetry in the magnificent setting of the Mansion House in London.

The event is curated by Allie Esiri, Helen McCrory, and Kate Birch with a line-up of other celebrated (and secret) actors and vibrant contemporary poets performing work inspired by the great city of London, all in the effort to raise money to help support their charity partners OnSide Youth Zones, Place2Be, Samaritans, and Sir Hubert von Herkomer Arts Foundation.

And one of those secret actors is Damian! Both Helen and Damian are patrons/ambassadors of the Sir HvH Arts Foundation.

Seems like Damian will be in town from filming Billions in New York City only two days prior to this event – specifically, on November 24 since he will be co-hosting the Evening Standard Theatre Awards in London with Helen.

To book tickets and for more information about Voices of London, please visit Lord Mayor’s Appeal.org here. For questions about the event, please email events@thelordmayorsappeal.org or call 020 7332 1582. Standard tickets are £100 and under 26-year-old tickets are £50. Tickets include a champagne and canapé reception, poetry readings and fundraising raffle. Dress code: smart casual.
