In an interview with the October issue of Men’s Journal magazine, Damian Lewis talks about shooting love scenes. The actor says that he is very respectful to the husbands of actresses he shares love scenes with and in order to avoid awkwardness between him and his on-screen partner Claire Danes, he even spoke to her partner Hugh Dancy beforehand.

The ‘Homeland’ star said: ”I take it very seriously if someone’s husband is coming into a situation where his wife is doing intimate work with another man. I go out of my way to make friends and to reassure Dancy he has nothing to worry about. That just seems to me like a good common courtesy.”

The actor also opened up about missing his wife and kids when he is away for work. He said: ”You live with the burden of being gone, that guilt, for the rest of your life. And you will rationalize it in all kinds of ways, and I’m really proud that my son and daughter can see that dad’s working hard, making success at what he does. You actually have concrete things you can show them.”
