Damian Lewis' reaction to 'ranting' autograph hunters in Cannes - after Denzel Washington's heated exchange at the film festival
Denzel Washington may have become embroiled in a heated exchange with a photographer at Cannes earlier this week, but Homeland star Damian Lewis appears better at keeping his cool. When the actor, 54, arrived at Nice Airport on his return from Cannes Film Festival, he and his girlfriend, rock star Alison Mosshart, were accosted by a group of autograph hunters. 'One woman simply wouldn't take 'no' for an answer,' a witness told the Daily Mail's Richard Eden. They added: 'She quickly became extremely vexed, ranting about how they had 'made' him and how he was ungrateful. 'She was shouting and finger-jabbing and had people rushing to restrain her.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Yet unlike Denzel, Eton-educated Lewis 'could not have been cooler', the source said. 'He was calm, even polite, and simply let her vent while quietly clarifying that he couldn't agree with anything she was saying.' Earlier this month Damian put on a cosy display with his girlfriend Alison at the Moët Hennessy Dom Pérignon Revelations party at London's Tate Modern. The actor and the rocker, 46, looked as loved-up than ever as they posed for snaps inside the starry venue. Damian and Alison have been dating for two years, after they were first spotted together in the summer of 2022. Romance blossomed a year after Damian's wife of 14 years, actress Helen, tragically passed away in April 2021 aged 52 after a secret battle with breast cancer. Shortly after Helen's death, Damian wrote a heartbreaking tribute to his late wife in The Times where he revealed she wanted him to find love again - joking his children said their mother 'wanted daddy to have lots of girlfriends'. Last month, Damian poignantly opened up on how he handles grief after Helen's passing. The Homeland actor said: 'There's a well-known psychological state in grief, or post any sort of trauma, which is called the manic defence.' He continued: 'I have the manic defence in a very pronounced way, which is that you affirm life. 'So in amongst the inevitable days of being in a heap on the floor bawling your eyes out, there is your manic defence, which is like, 'Come on, live life, move forward, and reaffirm life'. Damian, who has two teenage children - Manon, 18, and Gulliver, 16 - with Helen, added: 'Life is there for the taking, to be lived. 'Especially when you have two children – making sure they have a sense that everything is not over.'

Damian Lewis puts on a cosy display with girlfriend Alison Moss as the besotted couple attend starry Moët Hennessy party in London
Damian Lewis put on a cosy display with his girlfriend Alison Mosshart at the Moët Hennessy Dom Pérignon Revelations party at London's Tate Modern on Thursday. The actor, 54, and the rocker, 46, looked as loved-up than ever as they posed for snaps inside the starry venue. For the occasion, Damian cut an edgy figure in an all-black ensemble consisting of a black leather jacket layered over a shirt and smart trousers. He teamed the look with black leather loafers as he sweetly cuddled up to Alison, who he found love with in 2022 after the tragic death of his wife Helen McCrory. Meanwhile, Alison looked effortlessly stylish in a leopard print shirt, a black waistcoat and straight-leg trousers. She completed her outfit with a pair of comfortable chunky boots and a silver chain crossbody handbag. The happy couple took time to pose with their pals Elena Ora, Nikki Hunter and Fabrice Brovelli at the party. Also in attendance at the soirée were Elena Ora, David Mayer de Rothschild, Iggy Pop, Tilda Swinton, Erin O'Connor, Jefferson Hack and Vincent Chaperon. Damian and Alison have been dating for two years, after they were first spotted together in the summer of 2022.

'Especially when you have two children – making sure they have a sense that everything is not over.' Damian recently made a rare public appearance with his kids Manon and Gulliver as they attended the Burberry LFW show. In April, Damian looked ever the proud father as he wrapped his arms around his children. He spoke about the qualities his children inherited from their mother in a sweet tribute in The Times, as he opened up on the absence Helen's death had left in their lives. 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 (pictured with Damian in 2020) 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.
