DOMINIC West has become one of Britain's most prominent actors, thanks to his high profile roles both on the big and small screen.
His homelife has been brought into question after he was spotted in October 2020 "kissing" actress Lily James.
Who are Dominic West's parents?
Dominic was born and raised in Sheffield.
His mother, Pauline Mary (née Cleary), was an actress, and his father, Thomas George Eagleton West, owned a plastics factory.
His mum, who went by the name of Moya West, died peacefully at home on September 16, 2009.
His father, known as George, passed away at Cork University Hospital on April 26, 2004.
Dominic's parents gave him an Eton education, although this isn't something the actor is necessary proud of, telling The Graham Norton Show: "Old Etonian is a stigma that is slightly above 'paedophile’ in the media in a gallery of infamy.”
Does Dominic West have siblings?
The actor hails from a very big brood.
He is the sixth of seven siblings.
There are five girls, and he is one of two boys.
His sisters are Georgiana, Jacinta, Thomasina, Edwina and Natasha.
His brother is Damian.
Is Dominic West related to Timothy West?
Due to their surname, many fans often wonder if Dominic is related to fellow actor Timothy West.
But we hate to disappoint, because even though they share the same surname, that's where it ends.
Timothy is of course known for TV shows like Gentleman Jack and Last Tango In Halifax as well as a stint in EastEnders.
