Dominic West and Sienna Miller talk nudity and narcissism ahead of new drama War
The two actors discuss playing a divorcing couple and the pressures of public scrutiny in their new series, The Guardian reports.
Actors Dominic West and Sienna Miller have spoken about nudity, narcissism and public scrutiny in a new interview tied to their upcoming series War, according to The Guardian.
In the interview, conducted in a London hotel room, West discussed how much money he would need to be offered to strip down to his socks, reflecting on a scene in the show involving a similar act. In War, West plays a social media billionaire whom the report describes as largely decent, aside from one uncomfortable scene involving goading someone to strip for money.
Familiar scrutiny, new challenge
The Guardian's report notes that both actors are accustomed to public interest in their personal lives, but describes their experience discussing the new project as different from anything they had faced before. The two play a divorcing couple in the series.
According to the report, the pair also touched on how money can complicate relationships and situations, describing aspects of this dynamic as revolting within the context of their roles. Further plot details of War, along with its broadcast date, were not specified in the available report.
The Guardian's interview offers a glimpse into the actors' approach to a project built around intimate and, at times, uncomfortable subject matter.
