Hollywood actor Damian Lewis abandoned his ewe-sual starry pursuits this weekend to drive a group of sheep over a bridge in London.
Lewis’ temporary role of shepherd was part of a tradition dating back hundreds of years.
The City of London – London’s traditional financial hub – is known as the Square Mile, although it actually covers 1.12 square miles.
In a statement from the organizers prior to the event, Lewis expressed his excitement about leading the sheep drive.
“As a proud London Welshman, playing the drover and driving my sheep, as if from Llandeilo, across The Thames, will be a career highlight.
