Jamie Dornan deserves an Oscar nomination for his amazing performance in Belfast - perhaps even the win. The movie is perfect, a rare film for which I give it a grade of A+!!!!!

Agreed! Everything about that movie was perfect. From the acting to the writing to the cinematography, just absolute perfection. The only imperfection I could find: *that there’s no soundtrack available*

I absolutely agree with you on that!!!😁👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Jaimie Dornan is so multi-talented.

[@BryanCostner]

Not in the Fifty Shades movies tho which his performance was extremely awkward but I can't blame him on that. The script and the direction made his performance look bad. He's a good actor when he was given the right material to work with

Jamie Dornan started as a model and SINGER. He IS a Recorded Artist. Check out the band Sons of Jim (favorite song My Burning Sun)

[@pam0626]

What a gorgeous, humble man with real acting chops to boot. Loved him in The Fall.

[@cleanfreak2005]

He is so humble, because he doesn't even mention that he was a recorded artist with Sons of Jim, and the song he sang for 50 shades freed (Maybe I'm Amazed) was released on the soundtrack. Also, he doesn't correct JK for saying that it is the last 3 movies in a row that he sings...While 50 shades was more than 4 years ago, then there were 3, 4, maybe 5 movies out when he sang in Barb and Star go to Vista Del Mar...He has been a very busy actor.

[@cleanfreak2005]

Oops, I forgot that he sang in Wild Mountain Thyme... so mayhaps it is 3 of his last movies that he sings.

[@conniedavis172]

Jamie is gorgeous, a great actor, and singer. The movie was terrific and his performance outstanding. His singing has me replaying the clip from the movie and the Belfast premier live performance constantly.

Jamie Dornan is a good actor. Fifty Shades didn't do his talent any justice because of the shitty script and bad direction he got. Anthropoid, A Private War and The Fall shows how good and talented of an actor he is. Belfast is definitely gonna be his next great movie in his filmography! Can't wait

[@suesanleapace8913]

I haven't had a rush on an actor in many decades, but Jamie Dornan has changed that. He is gorgeous. All of his TV interviews, including this one on Jimmy Kimmel, demonstrate what a lovely, modest and down to earth man he is. I agree with the post that said "Jamie would make a great James Bond."

[@elizabethmcleod246]

Jamie is just a relaxed and down to earth man. Nice interview

[@lagottessa]

The Irish mentality of not boasting your accomplishments is very much like the Swedish one (where I come from). Bono of U2 once described it like this: When an American passes outside the mansion on the hill he says to himself: "One day I'm gonna live in a mansion like that" When an Irishman passes that mansion on the hill he says to himself: "One day...I'm gonna get that bastard"

[@Bellerophon17]

Irish people’s attitude towards Bono is a case in point - tragically, you average Irish person really dislikes him. Ridiculous.

[@lagottessa]

@@Bellerophon17 well Bono is controversial everywhere in a way, isn't he. And although I'm not sure you have a factual statistic on the level of liking/disliking of him in Ireland, no one is a prophet in their own land, right? Which kinda proves my point! ;-)

[@vivelaresistance3239]

My Swedish friend calls it the law of Jante, and my New Zealand friend calls that mentality the tall poppy syndrome.

[@lagottessa]

@@vivelaresistance3239 yep it's called the law of Jante in Sweden and I think it's a good thing. It bascially means stay humble. :-)

[@grahambinho]

Exactly. Gloating about your success can make you unpopular and kinda boring. Also, Bono is not well liked in Ireland.

[@mariannebazazian9519]

Brilliant interview. He always has a good time on your show, Jimmy. You bring out the best in him. You can see he truly enjoys being there and it's not just a commitment to promote a movie. He's a true gentleman, kind to his fans, so handsome, loving family man and husband, actor, singer, altruistic. I love watching his career explode.

I can see why some people speculate that Jamie could be perfect to play next James Bond. Because, Jamie started in the show called The Fall where he played a killer, perfectly I may say, he was really scary there. 😳 He also started in 50 shades movies where he played problematic and very sexy Christian Grey. The thing I'm trying to say is that Jamie as an actor can pull off both intimidating and sexy in the same time impeccably, which I believe are one of the most important qualities in Bond. Also he's masculine and looks absolutely perfect in a suit and it would be awesome if after Brosnan we get another Irish actor to play this character. 😊
