The Forsyte Saga actor looked typically hunky for his day in the sun, clad in a white tee, fawn jacket and stonewash skinny jeans.
Making the most of his day off, the star took off his loafers and lay down in the grass for a sunbathe before taking a quick phone call.
Damian rose to international attention in 2011 following his role as Nicholas Brody in Homeland, winning both a Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy Award.
OMG! Given the actor’s star status it wasn’t long before a large group of fans gathered, with Damian, 48, ever the gentleman as he graciously chatted with the adoring group.
He has been starring in the HBO and Sky Atlantic series Billions since 2016.
Damian is currently on-screen in Once Upon A Time…in Hollywood, a crime film based on the infamous ‘Manson family’ murders in 1969.
Directed by Quentin Tarantino, it also stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate, the actress who was murdered by Charles Manson’s followers.
Damian portrays Steve McQueen, an actor who was invited to Sharon’s home the night the murders took place, but was unable to show up.
The late Luke Perry, Dakota Fanning and Al Pacino also have roles in the flick.

It was a solo outing for the star, who has been wed to actress Helen McCrory, 50, since 2007.
The couple – who raise children Manon, 12, and Gulliver, 11, together – took pride of place on the front row before the show began.
Helen and Damian first met while starring in Five Gold Rings at London’s Almeida theatre in 2003.
Director Michael Attenborough compared watching them together on stage to a ‘fire’ due to their electric chemistry.
Elaborating on how they make things work, she said it’s ‘really helpful’ being married to an actor as they understand how manic the schedule can be.
She explained: ‘We’re never our own masters, Damian and I, so it’s about being patient and kind to each other.
‘when the other person said they were going to be home at 7pm and you’ve made dinner, and they don’t actually get back till 3am… do you know what?
‘It’s not their fault, don’t give them a hard time. Even if it upsets you. Because they’re not in control of that.’
