Jamie Dornan career
Before Sons of Jim broke up in 2008, Dornan was a member of the folk band. With his friend David Alexander from school, he started the band and they released their songs “Fairytale” and “My Burning Sun” on Doorstep Records, their own record company. Scottish singer-songwriter KT Tunstall was toured with assistance from Sons of Jim.
Even if his stepmother and sisters talked him out of it, Dornan was not interested in becoming a model. He appeared in the reality show Model Behaviour on Channel 4 in 2001.
He signed a modeling deal with Select Model Management after being eliminated. Together with Malin Åkerman, he was a 2003 Abercrombie & Fitch model.
Following that, he modeled for Armani, Hugo Boss, and Aquascutum. He was chosen to represent Dior Homme’s scent in the 2005 advertising campaign.
In 2004, Dornan made his debut alongside Russian model Natalia Vodianova in a Calvin Klein ad campaign. His subsequent noteworthy projects for Calvin Klein include the campaigns for their jeans featuring Kate Moss in 2006 and Eva Mendes in 2010.
His roles as the face of Calvin Klein’s ‘CK Free’ fragrance and a judge in the model hunt competition ‘Nine Countries, Nine Guys, and One Winner’ were announced in 2009. He was dubbed “The Golden Torso” by The New York Times in 2006.
Dornan starred in ads for Calvin Klein, Dior, Zara, Banana Republic, Dolce & Gabbana, and Levi’s Jeans. Jim Moore, the creative director of GQ, branded him the “male Kate Moss” in 2006. Vogue listed him as one of the “25 Biggest Male Models of All Time” in 2015.
Following his big start in acting, he partnered with Dutch model Birgit Kos to become the new face of Hugo Boss’ “Boss The Scent” campaign in 2018. In 2023, he starred in the Fall/Winter Men’s Fashion Campaign for Spanish luxury fashion house Loewe, and the following year, he was named the brand’s global ambassador.
Throughout his career, he collaborated with fashion designers Hedi Slimane and photographers Bruce Weber and Carter Smith. His unusual gait prevented him from ever taking part in ramp walks.
Since starting to act in 2006, Dornan has gained fame throughout the world for his roles as serial murderer Paul Spector in the crime drama series The Fall (2013–2016) and Sheriff Graham Humbert in the television series Once Upon a Time (2011–2013).
For the latter, he was nominated for a British Academy Television Award for Best Actor and won the Irish Film and Television Award for Best Actor in Television.
He has appeared in movies as Axel von Fersen in Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette (2006), Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades series (2015–2018), and Jan Kubiš in Anthropoid (2016).
Along with these roles, he was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor-Motion Picture for his portrayal of Commandant Pat Quinlan in The Siege of Jadotville (2016), Paul Conroy in A Private War (2018), and Pa in Belfast (2021).
After playing Elliot Stanley/Eugene Cassidy in the drama series The Tourist (2022–present), he was included in Radio Times’ TV 100 power list in 2023.
