Jamie Dornan

Actor
44 years (May 1, 1982)Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK
Jamie Dornan is a Northern Irish actor from Belfast who moved from top-tier modelling into acting, first drawing serious notice as the chilling serial killer Paul Spector opposite Gillian Anderson in 'The Fall' (2013-2016). Global fame arrived as Christian Grey in 'Fifty Shades of Grey' (2015) and its two sequels, a franchise that made him a household name while inviting easy dismissal. He answered with range: the wartime thriller 'Anthropoid' (2016), Kenneth Branagh's tender 'Belfast' (2021) as Pa, and the noir series 'The Tourist' (2022). His best work pairs matinee-idol looks with wounded, ambiguous interiority.
