Damian Lewis pens an emotional tribute to his late wife Helen McCrory

The Times of London

“As I sit down to write this, I can hear Helen shouting from the bed, ‘Keep it short, Damian, it’s not about you,’” Lewis began his tribute in The Sunday Times to the Peaky Blinders and Penny Dreadful star, who died last week at age 52 after battling cancer. “Only a couple of weeks ago she said to us from her bed, ‘I want Daddy to have girlfriends, lots of them, you must all love again, love isn’t possessive. ‘But you know, Damian, try at least to get though the funeral without snogging someone.’”
