Lily James Made Her First TV Appearance Since The Dominic West Scandal
Last week Lily James canceled two interviews (The Graham Norton Show and The Today Show) promoting the Netflix remake of Rebecca, all because she allegedly accepted the role as “The Other Woman” in Dominic West and Catherine FitzGerald’s “strong” marriage. But last night she bravely returned to the spotlight for a sit-down with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. 100% a safer bet than Graham Norton. Those British chat shows do not hold back. But Fallon? That sycophant’s blood type is “Softball”.
Lily discussed teaching acting classes on Zoom during the pandemic, how she’d love to be involved in any future Mamma Mia! movies, and her recurring nightmare about being stalked by a nefarious dark figure (clearly one of Catherine FitzGerald’s Irish knight ancestors). And because the Daily Mail is…you know, the Daily Mail, they actually consulted a body language expert named Judi James to lend her skillful analysis. Her findings? Lily was “tentative” “anxious”, and “about as comfortable as a trainee tight-rope walker”. God Bless you, Judi James. But wait, there’s way more, via Daily Mail:
‘Lily began with an air of modest sweetness that included a head-tilt, downward glances and a tentative smile that was pulled down at the corners and which didn’t quite make it as far as her eyes.
‘Waiting for her first question, that head-tilt increased, suggesting vulnerability, and she performed a lip-bite and small tongue-poke to hint at some anxiety.’
She analyzes the entire interview like that. Apparently any time Lily touches her hair, they’re “self-comfort hair touches”, and it’s notable that her wrists are bent and limp (get thee to a doctor, Lil!). Judi James also compared Lily’s body language to Dominic’s last week when he strutted out front of his house in front of reporters and laid a wet one on his poor wife:
‘Sadly, Lily’s modest and rather tentative-looking body language here was in complete contrast to Dominic’s during his first appearance with his wife, where he seemed to present a rather more smug-looking, chest-puffed pose.’
Fuckin’ Dominic West. Who knew the white lead of The Wire would become Public Enemy #2 of 2020?! I mean, clearly, the Cheeto-Faced Buffoon still reigns supreme at #1.
Here’s Lily’s interview with Fallon:
The Sun has also taken to calling him a “Love Rat” (a term I totally love-rat), and are reporting that he and Lily could face a 200 euro fine for breaking a new Italian law; apparently, two people riding tandem on a scooter could spread coronavirus. Well, send that ticket directly to Dominic’s London pad, where he’s staying while his wife is away in Ireland on a “work trip”. You know what they say! While the cat’s away, the love rat will pay (Italian e-scooter fines).
