Jamie Dornan Jamie was born in Hollywood, just like that, with one “l”. His homeland is a small provincial town in Northern Ireland. Young Jamie dreamed of becoming a doctor. However, thoughts about a serious profession had to be buried quite unexpected reason: Dornan was just devilishly handsome. Therefore, after graduating from university (where he showed some promise), he had to pose for the best photographers in the world. “I can’t say that I liked this activity,” he admitted many years later. - Well, think for yourself what kind of activity it is for a man to pose in front of the lens. But it would be stupid to reject all the offers that I received. Agree: when you’re in your twenties and they promise you crazy money just to stand in front of some wall, hell, anyone will agree.”
In addition to decent fees, this activity had another pleasant side. Jamie was always surrounded beautiful girls models. At first, he had non-binding affairs with them. Until he met his first muse, who opened up a completely different world to him. In 2003, at a photo shoot for the film “The Jacket,” Dornan met Keira Knightley, who was very popular at the time—the first part of “Pirates” had just been released. Caribbean Sea" It was thanks to Keira that Dornan began his film career: his generous lover shared with him her personal agent.
She probably regretted her decision pretty soon. Because it was at the suggestion of a new agent that Jamie got a role in the film “Marie Antoinette” by Sofia Coppola - he was to play Count Fersen, the empress’s lover. The newly minted actor devoted himself so passionately to sex scenes with Kirsten Dunst (she played the main female role) that Knightley suspected something was wrong. History is silent about whether Kirsten and Jamie actually had an affair, but it is a fact: he came to the premiere of the film alone. At this point, she and Kira made a joint decision to leave. To be more precise, Dornan simply packed his things and left for an unknown destination, telling his beloved goodbye that he needed more freedom.
And he enjoyed it to the fullest. The paparazzi periodically posted the next batch of photographs of Jamie, where he showed off with some Hollywood celebrity. So, in different times was attributed to him love relationship with Sienna Miller, Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss, Eva Mendes. Like a true gentleman, Dornan denied everything, but the photos spoke louder than words.
And a few years ago, in the spring of 2011, the playboy unexpectedly got married. This event went completely unnoticed for a simple reason. His chosen one, although she occasionally acted in films, could not boast of world fame. Amelia Warner looked more like a pretty housewife, for whom it was more important to feed her husband who came home from work than to get a role in a movie. It was thanks to her that Dornan became involved with another Hollywood actor— Colin Farrell.
Irish trace
Like Jamie, Colin is from Ireland. In addition to their origin, they are also related by their love for beautiful and famous ladies. Almost all of Farrell's novels were fleeting, but noticeable. Although the actor himself did not publicly advertise his relationship - in this they are also similar to Dornan. But it’s not for nothing that paparazzi earn insane fees! It was they who, at different times, caught the actor with singer Britney Spears, then with famous writer Emma Fores, then with Demi Moore, or even Angelina Jolie herself. Also on his list of love victories is Lindsay Lohan, with whom Dornan also dated for some time.
And at some point, Colin even became the hero of pornographic sites: an explicit video with his participation appeared on the Internet. The video was recorded back in 2003, when the actor had an affair with an enterprising woman, as it turned out years later, Playboy model Nicole Narain. The two amused themselves by recording their bedroom activities on a video camera. When the relationship is over, home video at the suggestion of Nicole it became public knowledge. Farrell was outraged! He even filed a lawsuit demanding that the video be removed, explaining that his mother might see this outrage. But people in the know assure: had the film “50 Shades of Gray” been filmed in those years, the actor would have been in the forefront of contenders for the role of Christian Gray.
It is significant that it was in the same year that the video was recorded that the actor’s eldest son, James, was born. He was born by Canadian model Kim Bordenave. She never received a marriage proposal, although as a father Colin was always very attentive to his child. At birth, James was diagnosed with an extremely rare condition. genetic disease- Angelman syndrome. Such children, despite their outward optimism and good nature, are very far behind in development - both physical and intellectual. Only when the boy was four years old did Colin find the strength to talk about this illness. “We fought long and painfully for his right to walk. It was very difficult, and I still can’t forget that amazing moment when James finally took his first step. And the emotions that I experienced cannot be compared with any others.” In 2009, the actor had a second son, Henry Tadeusz, from Polish actress Alicja Bachleda. An affair began with her on the set of the film “Ondine”. Alicia didn't become Mrs. Farrell either. They separated a year after the birth of their son. The freedom-loving Irishman said that he no longer wants to feel “tied hand and foot,” but promised Alicia every support in raising his son.
In 2011, the actor was often seen with singer Rihanna. From which the conclusion was immediately drawn: now she is the main contender for the role legal wife. But, like all previous ones, this novel ended quite quickly.
So today Colin Farrell is once again one of the most eligible bachelors in Hollywood. True, he never tires of repeating that in in the near future is not going to get married. Adding at the same time that he nevertheless does not consider himself a convinced bachelor. If only because he was already married. Just like our old friend Amelia Warner.
Their wedding ceremony was very romantic. The newlyweds specially went to Tahiti, where they swore an oath of allegiance to each other on the ocean shore. In honor of his wife, Colin even got a tattoo on his ring finger. But this did not save the marriage: Farrell and Warner divorced just four months after registering the marriage: they got married in July 2001, and received a divorce certificate in November. “I was madly in love with Amelia,” Colin later said in an interview. “When I gave her a ring and proposed marriage, I was convinced: it was with this woman that I would spend the rest of my life. Alas, quite soon I realized that I was mistaken. The feelings disappeared somewhere, as if they never existed.”
And only many years later, after a series of affairs, he admitted that he still reproaches himself for breaking up with his wife. Not long ago, in an interview with the British newspaper Daily Mail, Colin opened up about his long-time marriage: “I was only twenty-three years old, and I was just scared - what kind of family are we talking about? I left and let her go. But now I live in the past. Memories of what happened then, with her. And guess what? Now I understand: I’m a complete idiot.”
Unrelated connections
Who is she, this mysterious Amelia Warner, who even years later makes one of the most experienced heartthrobs in Hollywood yearn for her? For some reason, many are sure that she is related to the very top of the elite of the American “dream factory”. In fact, Amelia has no relations with the founders of the Warner Brothers film studio. family ties. However, her pedigree still includes representatives of creative circles. Her parents are English actors Alan Lewis (starred in three films, although he was not even mentioned in the credits in any of them) and Annette Ekblom (although her name will not mean anything to the Russian viewer, she is quite famous in Britain, she played in in a total of twenty paintings). Amelia herself began acting at the age of nine, but gained popularity only after she moved from her native England to America, closer to the “dream factory.” There she met her second husband, Jamie Dornan.
As Jamie himself later said, he was seduced by Amelia beautiful hands(his fetish for life), and also the ability to tell funny stories. “You have no idea how sexy it is when a woman is a witty storyteller. And my Amelia is exactly like that.”
Dornan and Warner's wedding took place on April 27, 2013. And six months later their daughter was born. Just at this time, Dornan was trying to get used to the role of a brutal seducer - filming of “50 Shades of Gray” was in full swing, where she played the main female role. The birth took place far from the bustle of Hollywood, in the actor’s homeland, Northern Ireland. This choice, which may seem strange to some, was in fact justified. After all, Jamie's father is a gynecologist, and his mother is a midwife. It was they who delivered their daughter-in-law. And they helped at first with the baby. After all, Dornan, even if he flew in for a day or two, was still thinking about the film. “Sometimes it took some perverted forms,” the actor admitted in an interview. “I remember how one evening I, as an exemplary husband and father, kissed my wife and daughter and wished them Good night and — went to watch a sadomasochistic session recorded especially for me by the film’s consultant. So that there are no omissions, I’ll say right away: it didn’t give me pleasure, but it helped a lot in working on the role.”
Filming has long finished, Dornan has reunited with his family. However, this couple faces an even more difficult test - they need to survive the unexpected flow of universal adoration that suddenly fell upon Dornan. After all, the film “50 Shades of Gray” made real stars out of the main characters long before its release. The paparazzi are already They opened a real hunt for Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson. Wouldn't this be an obstacle to family life Irish handsome?
