You can really tell how much this movie resonates with him personally while listening to him speak. Incredible movie and a great performance.

[@beh2969]

Jamie has given so many interviews for this film and every time he gives thoughtful, insightful and personal answers.. even about his most personal experiences. Such a caring and kind human being who clearly adores his family and hometown. Much love to him and I wish him every success for this movie. Can’t wait to see it. ❤️❤️❤️

[@michelepetrillo6107]

Jamie is such a special man. Just truly down to earth. He has already proven to be like his dad with his values, his family, his humbleness. Love this amazing man. ♥️ Awards are starting to roll in. 🥳

[@lynnk-j9948]

Well said. JD fans are so excited for him. Small wonder he's moving with his family to LA for awards season. He has a few to accept now. ❤

@@lynnk-j9948 hope this "new" variant doesn't interfere with their plan. Worried about that.

@@michelepetrillo6107 Fingers crossed covid doesn't change their plans. Be nice for him to be able to collect his awards in person, with Millie at his side. 🤞❤

@@lynnk-j9948 I had read that he was moving to LA for a few months, but i thought he should be there for a new movie. He is so proud and happy with his film Belfast, i am so happy for him. He deserves all the Oscars.👍🏆🏆

Absolutely love Jamie Dornan and the movie. I don't think there is a more handsome. talented, charismatic actor around today. I've watched everything he's ever been in and I can't wait to see what he does next.

[@janewolfe9137]

Jamie and Caitriona are so moving n their betrayals of this couple in the movie, Belfast. I love that Jamie is so full of admiration for Caitriona’s insightful acting. As an Outlander fan of hers, it has been dismaying that her acting skills haven’t been more acknowledged ( as well as Sam Hueghan’s).

[@JamieDornanSpain]

Jamie is so down to earth! He's lovely in many ways. When he talks about home and Belfast (movie) you can see how humble he is. His parents will be very proud. I'm sure. They are looking after him wherever they are. What a great education he has from them.

[@richarddaly7279]

A wonderful interview. Jamie’s performance was beyond memorable and we now know why. This spectacular movie should be seen by everyone. Sir Kenneth has given us a gift that touches the hearts of everyone. I want this to be “Best Picture” with nominations to every member of the cast. Incredible!

[@debbieheslop4620]

Just saw this movie…..amazing..Jamie , little boy who played his son ..wife ..everyone fantastic😢😢

[@carmenflorence3219]

He seems very happy. Jamie is so proud of his movie Belfast.

[@ellarobertson1865]

Can’t wait to see Belfast movie. I’m very sorry to hear about the passing of your father, Jaime. I know what it’s like to lose both parents. 😢❤️

[@mariannebazazian9519]

Fantastic interview. My favorite so far. Jamie is such a gem. This brilliant movie is so personal to him. All he wanted was to do make sure the people of Belfast loved it, he wanted to do them proud. It breaks my heart the his dad couldn’t go on this ride with him.

[@teresagrifffin7132]

So proud of his birth place made me tearful

[@valerieloney5346]

Great for him to get away from Christian Grey role

A wonderful understated performance. Love how he moved he is by this work. Sir Ken did a fantastic job. Jude was also perfect. Mr Hines was Excellent. Very good job by Caitriona Balfe, lovely real chemistry with Dornan. She is so much more than Outlander. Great cast, great communication of good marriage at a time being strained. Beautiful words Jamie gave about his Father.

[@patriciawalls7459]

Sorry to hear that about your dad. God bless u .ur good man
