Jamie Dornan admits fame is ‘much worse for women than it is for men’

Jamie Dornan has admitted that being in the limelight is much worse for women, than it is for men.

The actor had humble beginnings when he started his modelling career in the early 2000s – and the star later fell into acting, having starred in plenty of hits on the big and small screen – including BBC’s The Fall and Fifty Shades of Grey.

Speaking about fame, Jamie previously said being a part of the Fifty Shades franchise can be a burden.

“I think the notion of paparazzi following you is much worse for women than it is for men,” he said.

The Belfast native revealed that while some women don’t want the paparazzi after them, some women do enable it.

“[The paparazzi] don’t care about the guys as much. Women in the public eye definitely get more attention.

“If you look at people like the Kardashians, they enable it, they seek it,” he told the Irish Independent.

“I am living out in the English countryside in the middle of nowhere. The only things that are following me are goats, mostly.”

The father-of-two also revealed he is still insecure about his acting despite worldwide fame.

“Of course I’m insecure, I feel insecure about everything. Nothing changes when you become famous.

“I can remember making videos with a camcorder or voice recordings and you always cringe a bit when you see or hear yourself,” he added.

“I don’t believe there are any actors who feel totally secure and if they do, well, that’s worrying.”

Jamie co-star in The Siege Of Jadotville Sam Keeley admitted recently the tight bond that he’s developed with the 50 Shades star.
