The stars are no strangers to public scrutiny of their most intimate relationships \u2013 but they\u2019ve never experienced anything like this. They talk about playing a famous divorcing couple, and how money makes things revolting<\/p>\n
In a London hotel room, Dominic West is weighing up how much he would accept to strip to his socks. In the new series War, West plays a social media billionaire who is supposed to be fairly decent, though there\u2019s one excruciating scene \u2013 goading someone to strip for money \u2013 that reveals he\u2019s definitely also a bit of a git. \u201cThat, I suppose, is the kick billionaires must get: that people would do anything for money,\u201d he says. He wonders what his price would be. His co-star Sienna Miller laughs and says he\u2019d do it \u201cfor the lols\u201d, and West grins and says: \u201cNo, I\u2019d want three figures. A hundred quid.\u201d<\/p>\n
War is a juicy eight-part legal drama, where Miller and West are a divorcing couple \u2013 she a narcissistic film star, he said billionaire \u2013 so just about all their scenes together are suppurating with contempt, which is fun, but also a bit of a shame because they have such good chemistry. They first worked together 21 years ago in the West End production of Shakespeare\u2019s As You Like It<\/a>. \u201cSo we had a history, which was great,\u201d says Miller. There have been many times she\u2019s gone into jobs where \u201con the first day you\u2019re married to someone and you don\u2019t know them. It\u2019s helpful to have some sort of rapport.\u201d<\/p>\n
