Photos of Damian Lewis as Rob Ford is the 'stuff of nightmares'
There’s a new Rob Ford movie shooting in Toronto right now and English actor Damian Lewis is taking on the role of the former Toronto mayor.
eTalk Canada has released the first photos of the Homeland actor in full costume, and the transformation is shocking.
“Photographs taken at 2:30 am show Lewis still donning that Ford Nation t-shirt, emerging once again at 3:30 am in full costume – grey suit, blue dress shirt, striped tie and all. That means the entire process of becoming Ford took seven hours,” reports eTalk.

The Ford character is only a minor role in the movie titled Run The Town – Ben Platt who plays a reporter in the film confirmed via Twitter that “it is not a Rob Ford biopic” and refers to the storyline as “historical fiction.”
