Fifty Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan has been through hell and back – his dad has revealed.
The Co Down native is now an international star thanks to his leading role in the kinky movie, but his father Jim has revealed there is much more to his son than meets the eye.
“Jamie’s incredibly sensitive. If somebody’s hurting, he will hurt the most,” he explained.
“Watching his mother die of pancreatic cancer over a year and a half made him a very soulful boy.”
Sensitive: Jamie has been through a lot
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror Jim added that Jamie soon lost four of his best friends in a car crash.
“I was very honest while his mother was dying. We didn’t take away hope, but I knew time was limited. It made him very strong,” he said.
“Jamie’s first words when I told him I had leukaemia were, ‘You’re going to be OK dad, aren’t you?’ He gets on with things – a deep, thinking person.
“He and his then girlfriend gave me a present they’d made me together. It was a little blue and yellow ceramic
plate that said ‘Hope’.
“That’s the colours of our favourite football team, Bangor Football Club,” he explained.
