Damian Lewis put on a typically dapper display as he brought his two children to Burberry’s London Fashion Week show on Monday at the Tate Britain.

The actor, 54, looked handsome in a tailored pinstripe suit over a dark grey satin shirt, left partially unʙuттoned to flash a glimpse of his toned chest.

The Wolf Hall star draped a green plaid scarf around his neck and added several silver necklaces, completing his smart look with grey leather shoes.

Damian looked ever the proud dad as he wrapped his arms around his daughter Manon, 18, and son Gulliver, 16, who he welcomed with his late wife Helen McCrory. 

Peaky Blinders actress Helen died from breast cancer in April 2021 aged just 52, having kept her diagnosis a secret as she continued to work.

Manon cut a chic figure in a classic Burberry trench coat over charcoal grey trousers, teamed with a green handbag for a pop of colour.

While Gulliver looked the spitting image of his famous dad, wearing a navy coat over striped trousers and the same scarf as Damian. 

Damian spoke about the qualities his children had inherited from their mother in a sweet tribute to Helen in The Times, as he opened up on the absence her death had left in their lives.

He said: ‘She’s left our beautiful children, Manon and Gully, too early, but they have been prepared for life.

‘They have in them the fearlessness, wit, curiosity, talent and beauty of their mother. She has exhorted us to be courageous and not afraid. 

‘As she said repeatedly to the children, “Don’t be sad, because even though I’m about to snuff it, I’ve lived the life I wanted to”.’

Their fashion week outing comes after Damian revealed what life is really like with his ‘noisy family’ and the one mistake he thinks he made with his children.

He opened up about his very private family life to Nick Grimshaw and Angela Harnett on an episode of their podcast Dish in October, telling them that while the family all get on very well, he is no longer allowed to cook for his daughter.

The Wolf Hall star explained: ‘Yeah, I do cook. I like it. My daughter won’t let me cook for her anymore. She’s vegetarian and she’s become very particular about how she cooks. I bought her an air fryer’.

And although his eldest child Manon is a vegetarian, the thespian explained he is not such a fan of vegetarian cooking.

Damian revealed: ‘My vegetarian cooking is poor. If Manon lets me make something for her, it’s probably, it’s probably half a big pepper filled with something. We might do a vegetarian chilli to go in it. So it’s quite basic’.

He also elaborated on an error he made when his children were little, saying: ‘We made the mistake early on with our kids, or not the mistake, because it’s really nice, of just not always feeding them baked beans when they were hungry.

‘Yeah, so they’re always trying to eat adult food. But then my two, very young, North London, privileged children developed a taste for Carluccio’s. And only Carluccio’s. 

‘So, we couldn’t go past the Carluccio’s with, you know, some snotty five year old going, “Po po. Daddy, let’s go in and eat octopus.” 

‘So then I decided, sod that I’m going to cook an octopus myself. And it was terrible. I just sort of just dehydrated this, and it was a whole octopus.

‘I said, “give me the whole octopus. I want to cut it. I want to get it into the rings. I want to do the whole thing myself”.

‘I boiled it with salt and shallots, and a bit of white wine or white wine vinegar, and sort of part boiled, part steamed it… That’s what it was. It was a drowning octopus. There were a lot of legs.’

He went on to find love with with current girlfriend, The Kills singer Alison Mosshart, 46, in 2022 (pictured together this month )

The star also told the DJ and the Michelin star chef that his family dynamic is noisy and loud with lots of people talking over each other.

‘Yeah, there’d be just a lot of people not listening to anyone else, yeah. We were always really encouraged to make our point.

‘So, we just got a family of people who are always making their point, with no one to listen to the point because everyone’s busy making their point!’ the Band of Brother actor said.

He then joked: ‘But I mean, so a lot of our friends are good listeners and we bring them in for dinner parties – Don’t talk too much. Just come, come and listen.’

When Helen died, Damian revealed in a social media post that she had urged him to find love again, telling him and their son and daughter that she wanted ‘Daddy to have lots of girlfriends’.

He wrote: ‘She died as she lived. Fearlessly. God we love her and know how lucky we are to have had her in our lives. She blazed so brightly. Go now, Little One, into the air.’

He went on to find love with with current girlfriend, The Kills singer Alison Mosshart, 46, the following year.
