Incredible guy. Everything about him seems so pure. And great interviewer to - really warm and invested. Loved it.

[@jeannievrantsis445]

He’s just lovely. Open, intelligent and above all, authentic.

[@louisepagels9032]

The Fall and Belfast were so good. He's got it all, and hopefully Dornan will be acting for many years to come.

[@ssaandyyss]

What a great interview! Love the fact that he talked about everything. Congrats on the new film Belfast! PS. Yes I loved Jamie as Christian Grey! 🤍

[@sandramijailovic9775]

The Fall was brilliant. 💯💯💯💯💯

[@Angie-Pants]

So glad to finally see Jamie getting the accolades he deserves.

[@magnolialoves]

He should have gotten an Oscar nom for his role in Belfast. He was so good. ❤️

[@adamfanalways]

Great interview, Jamie is a great actor and humble guy!

[@shawndrarush1683]

I am excited to see Belfast. What a perfect role for him.

[@alexisnewell3672]

[@mariaLOVE1212]

The Fall was so good I watched it twice

[@lucianflorescu711]

I saw Belfast...it's amazing ! Kenneth Branagh ( the director) was very inspired to choose Jamie Dornan in his movie because Jamie fits in perfectly.....A well written script along with a very professional director ( Kenneth Branagh) and team of actors succeeded in re-creating the life and tensions in '69 Belfast by simply telling us the true story of an Irish family at that time...Thank you for this exceptional movie ( almost like a documentary ) on that times seen by the eyes of a child...

[@halliecolville8723]

Great interview. Lots of layers to this guy. ❤️

[@johannarodriguez9848]

So happy to see him happy and working

[@joleneannturner7785]

Jamie, you are a fantastic human being and a brilliant actor. 💙

[@sasunminasyan]

Jamie is really talented!

[@laureenjoseph5573]

It's great that Dornan got to perform in his own Country I think that it's amazing. Dornan is special.

[@arielsteinsaltz1956]

Not even a mention of Once Upon a Time… Graham was such an iconic character.

[@osmarinasantos1372]

Jamie Dornan inteligente, autêntico e excelente ator 🇧🇷

[@anacastanio4376]

Mucho exito Jamie en El Turista y Belfast

[@jinheebae2642]

Love you so much ! Jamie !!!

[@riseshies1820]

Thanks nicely done ✅

[@patdoe5242]

I wished I was Dakota in fifty shades of grey he's so good looking

[@amnesia130]

Forgot to mention that he was The Huntsmen/Sheriff Graham in Once Upon a Time, sadly only the first season though. That’s where I first saw him. Then I immediately watched The Fall, and the rest is history, lol.

[@annakuyumcuoglu4331]

Great experience.

[@lulino5103]

Eternamente apaixonada pelo GREY 💞💘💞

[@hestia5630]

He feels like he has to hide because of fame :( Amazing talent, wish him and his family all the best!

[@nicolamcguinness8689]

Royal dano talk about John Huston

[@stellawynia9542]

When is his netflix movie. Hearts of stone coming out? Does anyone know 🤔

[@jq5617]

August 11th

[@brunabruna2015]

He and Dakota are the best couple..He was the best there...I think with the odhers films i'ts not the same play

[@pamelakenyon5052]

Time to move on.

[@carolmiller760]

A sweet Movie. A sweet Family. But Oscar...

[@brunabruna2015]

He is the best with fifty shades. With Dakota they are the best acteurs ever.

[@anncarson269]

Jamie sang everlasting love ❤️ to Dakota

[@pamelakenyon5052]

Not hardly. Grow up

[@annasanton3194]

He's only got one everlasting love and that's Amelia. He may have had a crush on Dakota but that's passing. We can love truly & still get crushes on film stars etc.

[@kaydarley2124]

How about Husbandhood!

[@jones2277]

why would they feature that stupid Fifty Shades movie? he was so good in the Fall. talk about that role.

[@lynnk-j9948]

Americans are obsessed with Fifty Shades. All interviewers bring it up when he's promoting something else. It's tiresome.

[@littlegirl-lc8lh]
