Many people confuse the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland (the six northern counties of the island that still belong to the United Kingdom) so when a Northern Irish person makes it big on any scene, they join a small, exclusive circle of cherished celebs. Jamie Dornan is just such a man, acting career on the rise and despite how you feel about a certain book staring Christian Grey, no one can deny that he’s on his way to becoming a household name outside the wee Emerald Isle. What the craic (Irish: the deal, fun, situation) with Jamie Dornan and is the hype for real?

How Did Jamie Dornan Make His Money & Wealth?
Pickings were slim in London, however, but Jamie found work as a model for Ambercrombie & Fitch in 2003, eventually working with top names like Hugo Boss, Armani, Dior, and Calvin Klein. Modelling work was lucrative, to the point that in 2006 The New York Times called him “the Golden Torso” but he longed to find fulfilling acting work and finally did, his first role being Count Axel Fersen in Marie Antoinette (2006). More small parts would follow (Beyond the Rave, 2008, Shadows in the Sun, 2009, and the short films X Returns and Nice to Meet You, oth in 2009), but his big break came in 2011 when Jamie was cast in the fairytale-themed Once Upon A Time. It was this role that brought him to the attention of producers and he was cast in 2013 alongside Gillian Anderson in the Northern Irish TV series The Fall, a crime drama that takes place in Belfast. Cast as a sinister serial killer terrorising the city, Jamie has gotten rave reviews from fans and critics alike, but he was about to become a bit more polarising when he landed the role of famed dominating sex-haver (sarcasm intended) Christian Grey in a trilogy of movies based on E.L. James’ Fifty Shades novel series.
Stoking female fantasies hasn’t been all Jamie’s been up to in the past few years. The Fall has lasted three seasons and while he’s confirmed that his schedule has forced him to bow out for now, Jamie has said that he’d be open to returning at some point in the future. He’s also starred in the film The 9th Life of Louis Drax (2016) and will soon be filming opposite Peter Dinklage in the upcoming My Dinner With Herve, as well as a new adaptation of Robin Hood, due out in late 2018. Life is just packed but every role brings Jamie to higher prominence and he truly stands astride a promising career.
Jamie Dornan’s Personal Life & FAQ
Is Jamie married?
What’s a little-known Jamie Dornan factoid?
While acting has always been his passion, Jamie is familiar with branches of the arts. He performed with the Belfast folk band Sons of Jim until they split up in 2008, having met band founder David Alexander while at Belfast Methodist College. The band released two well-performing singles, Fairytale (2005) and My Burning Sun (2006) as well as touring their native Ulster, and the entire UK with Scottish-born singer-songwriter KT Tunstall. While crossover between acting and music is relatively common, not everyone can run two careers at the same time and while acting’s won for now, is a return to the gig scene in Jamie’s future?

Jamie Dornan – Beyond Fame
What’s next for this Belfast boy? He’s keeping a low profile to live a normal, paparazzi-free life but it’s confirmed we’ll be seeing him in upcoming Emma Forrest drama Untogether, as well as the final puzzle piece in the Fifty Shades trilogy, Fifty Shades Freed, due out in 2018. Although he prefers to keep off social media (no Twitter or Instagram), Jamie Dornan brings a bit of that refined, old-world traditionalism to the celeb scene, eschewing the accepted ‘culture’ and living his life on his terms. No matter where he goes from here (and we’re sure it’s only up!), Jamie’s brought a bit of himself and a bit of Northern Ireland into our lives and that’s pure class, like.
UPDATE: This article has been updated with Elva’s correct name.
Well with the exception of not having his 2nd daughter’s name correct, this sums it up. All those rumors that people say he’s not married simply aren’t true. There you go. Jamie Dornan, happily married and not under contract with Universal to hide an affair until the last movie is released. Sorry. Not really. I’m glad he and Millie are a normal, married couple.
Jamie’s 2nd daughter’s name is Elva not Phoebe.
Pourquoi avons nous seulement que le véritable prénom de sa deuxième fille Elva et non Phoebe ? Ils sont mariés et heureux ensemble avec leurs deux filles . J’en suis très contente pour eux . Ils méritent ce qu’ils leur arrivent . Jamie n’a pas eu de chance dans sa vie ‘perdre sa mère à 16 ans et ces 4 amis proches ‘ . Heureusement que son père s’en est sorti de son cancer . Ils forment un joli couple et je leur souhaite de très longues années ensemble
