Briton Jamie Dornan has long conquered millions of hearts, possessing a beautiful appearance and charm. And if his name and appearance are publicly visible and visible, then to say specifically what he is doing and, if he positions himself as an actor, in which films he starred, few can say. This article is for those who want to know a little more about who he is Jamie Dornan, whose filmography (“50 Shades of Gray”, “Once Upon a Time”, etc.) is not so great, however, popularity among the audience grows with every day.
Interesting facts from the biography
Thirty-two-year-old actor and model Jamie Dornan was born in Ireland (Belfast) on May 1 in 1982. He has two sisters. The family lived in one of the elite areas of Belfast, and the children received an excellent education. It is noteworthy that Jamie Dornan (filmography below) is a distant descendant of the british British actress Greer Garzon, a true legend of the 40s of the last century. She is the cousin of his grandmother. Apparently, acting talent through generations has proved itself again, let's hope that it will open at least no worse.
In 2008, as a student at Methodist College, Jamie Dornan became interested in music and acting. It was at this time that, together with his friend, he created a musical group called Sons of Jim, which existed until 2008.
Jamie did not finish his studies at Tesside University, he made his choice in the direction of a modeling career. For the sake of working in one of the London agencies, he dropped out of school and went to conquer the capital. And already in 2004 he had a lucky chance - he signed a contract with Calvin Klein. Two years later, a photo shoot paired with Kate Moss will make him famous.
In addition, Jamie Dornan, whose filmography will start a little later, was shot several times along with model and actress Eva Mendes (pictured), as well as Natalia Vodianova and Natasha Poly (for Vogue magazine) for glossy covers and advertising campaigns.
Personal life
At one of the glossy photo shoots, fate brought Jamie to the Hollywood star - Kira Knightley - in 2003. The novel developed rapidly and lasted about two years, but ended in parting. After this ex-lover, Jamie even dedicated the song Only On the Outside. As the actor himself later shared in an interview, the reason for their separation was Kira’s fame, which literally overshadowed everything around him, and he simply felt uncomfortable in the supporting roles. In the end, the couple broke up, but with an easy hand K. Knightley, who introduced Dornan to her agent, his acting career began.
In April 2013, the actor married A. Warner (pictured). And already in November, a daughter named Dalchi was born in their family. Currently, the press is actively discussing the news that Amelia is pregnant again, and Jamie will become a father for the second time.
Jamie Dornan: filmography
The actor’s wife flatly refused to watch the sensational film “50 shades of gray” with the participation of her husband, although she agreed to accompany him to the premiere screening. Perhaps this is due to ambiguous reviews, the scandalous nature of the picture and the abundance of scenes of an erotic nature in it. However, the picture made him famous literally overnight. Crowds of fans around the world and popularity in the media - all this is actor Jamie Dornan, whose filmography will soon be replenished with participation in two sequels of the tape.
However, a career began a little earlier. As already mentioned, in this Jamie helped Keira Knightley. It was thanks to her that the first serious work in the cinema was her participation in the film by Sofia Coppola - the drama Maria Antoinette with Kirsten Dunst. We will talk about the most famous and major projects and roles in more detail.
Marie Antoinette
Autobiographical picture taken in 2006. The book is based on A. Fraser. The story of life and its tragic end to the Queen of France. While still a very young girl, she was given in marriage to the Dauphin Louis XVI, thereby making an unspoken alliance between the two powers. However, the position of the young princess was far from enviable. The cold attitude on the part of her husband, his betrayal, the open encouragement of favorites, intrigues at court - all this made her a stranger. She found solace in gambling, nightly entertainment and excessive spending. Jamie Dornan, whose filmography begins with this film, played the role of Count von Fersen - the queen's lover and, possibly, the father of her children.
"Shadows in the sun"
Dramatic film by the British film director D. Rossxavege. An ambiguous story about an already elderly man. Arriving once to visit his elderly mother, he discovers a completely shocking fact - she has an affair with a young man. The situation is very ambiguous, and one can only guess how each of the participants in this story will behave.
Perhaps the most successful for the actor was 2013, and the world recognized the name - Jamie Dornan. The filmography (in the main role it was he) immediately replenished with three projects at once: a series, a dramatic picture and the famous film adaptation.
The series "Crash"
The detective’s action takes place in Belfast, where a serial killer is operating, causing fear to the local population. One of the most experienced detectives in the country, Stella Gibson, is taken up. Nothing will stop her from taking the killer to clean water.
A fascinating film lasted on television for three seasons and fell to the taste of sophisticated viewers. Still - after all, the star of the X-Files took part in it, the beloved Gillian Anderson, and the role of the villain was played by Jamie Dornan. The filmography was replenished with good work, and the actor himself gained an invaluable and, of course, interesting experience in translating a negative character on the screen.
"Flight home"
The film is a joint German-Belgian project. In the story, a young and promising raider Colin is trying to make a deal with an Arab sheikh. His partner needs what he can get - a champion pigeon from the Belgian Flanders, and then the contract will be in his “pocket”. For the bird, the guy goes to the village, where he meets an amazing girl who will open to him a different view of the world and its values. This time, D. Dornan revealed himself as a dramatic actor.
