‘Fifty Shades’ Star Jamie Dornan: 7 Things You Need to Know >1. The Hollywood Star Hails From Holywood. While hes now all the rage in Tinseltown, the 31-year-old was born, bred, and buttered in Holywood, County Down, in Northern Ireland, as the model-turned-actor notes in his Twitter bio. But hes no longer living in the Emerald Isle; his home base is London and in his downtime there he plays a lot of golf, makes use of the citys famed Hyde Park, and reads. Im very boring, he said in an interview with Bespoke Banter in 2009. We doubt that. >2. His First Film Was Marie Antoinette. The actor, who stands at 6-feet tall and has blue/gray eyes, made his movie debut in the 2006 Sofia Coppola drama. He played Axel von Fersen and co-starred with Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, and Rose Byrne. >3. He modeled for Calvin Klein Underwear. See one of his modeling shots above. And youre welcome. >4. His Exes Include Keira Knightley. For two years, from about 2003 to 2005, the British actress was his better half and they made many red-carpet appearances together — at movie premieres, London Fashion Week, and the Sundance Film Festival. Jamie, who met Knightley at a photo shoot, later told Britains Mail on Sunday, The man is meant to be the alpha in the relationship on the money and power front, and clearly I was not. >5. Sorry Ladies, Hes Taken. Jamie is off the market, having said I do to British actress/singer Amelia Warner earlier this year. They are said to be expecting their first child together. Funny enough — fellow Irishman Colin Farrell was married to Warner as well. Well, sort of. In 2001, the Total Recall star was said to have tied the knot with Warner, then just 19, in Tahiti, but just four months later they called it off. Too fast, too young, Farrell said to People while talking about the end of his marriage. However, a decade later, Warner gave her own interview and said she was never really Mrs. Farrell. We didnt actually get married — its not actually true, she said. I think weve been too polite to deny it. We had a ceremony on a beach in Tahiti that was by no means legal and we knew it wasnt. It was just a thing we did on holiday. We went shark feeding and then we did that. We booked them both on the activities desk at the hotel. >6. He Developed a Fierce Fan Following on Once Upon a Time. While Charlie Hunnam was reportedly worried about the attention hed receive for the Fifty Shades role, Jamie already has some experience with overzealous fans. On TVs Once Upon a Time, he played Sheriff Graham/The Huntsman and had a memorable dalliance with Jennifer Morrisons Emma Swan. But when his character was killed off, fans protested — vigorously — sending hate mail (and death threats!) — to show exec. Jamie was later brought back for guest appearances. I guess I essentially see that as a compliment, but I think people can be pretty hairy, like from what those boys tell me, Jamie told Access Hollywood in March, referring to producers. I dont want to induce any sort of like hatred or anything and I dont want those guys to be massively under fire from, you know, crazy fans because of what they did. ... But I guess I should essentially take it as a compliment that people care that much. A bit of hate mails OK, but the death threats — thats too much. >7. Jamie Really Loves … Burgers. The heartthrob is a carnivore and couldnt stop talking about his love of hamburgers in a 2009 interview with Nylon. Of note, he said hes a messy eater — with ketchup and mayonnaise covering his face. Im obsessed with burgers. Obsessed, he said. As soon as I check in [to my hotel when traveling], its bacon cheeseburger and fries. Until Im satisfied and finished with my burger, [I dont do anything]. Then I phone people and say, Lets meet up.
