"The Affair" actor Dominic West says going to boarding school was as upsetting as when his parents died because he hated being sent away from his family.
The "Finding Dory" star attended England's prestigious Eton when he was younger and he found it very traumatic being so far away from his family, reported Female First.
"I got used to the idea of leaving home very young, when I was sent away to boarding school. That had a major effect on me - it was the worst feeling I have ever had, very similar to the grief when my parents died," he said.
"It's the same thing really; you think you've lost your parents. I learned to bury the emotional effects of that and then I went to drama school and had to dig it all up again."
West's father, George died in 2005 after suffering a stroke while his mother, Moya, died at home in 2010 after a long battle with cancer.
