The British actor is one of Hollywood’s most recognizable new faces. Since his remarkable passages in The Fall, Operation Anthropoid, Belfast and his role as Christian Gray in the trilogy Fifty ShadesJamie Dornan has become a real celebrity.
But before the former model had the well-established career we know today, he had a rough start. And at that time, he was part of a group of friends made up of actors who were also taking their first steps in the world of cinema. Quite recently, Dornan returned to this period of his life and notably mentioned the jealousy he harbored towards one of his friends, who, unlike him, had quickly risen to fame.
Robert Pattinson had success earlier than the others
In the early 2000s, Jamie Dornan and Robert Pattinson were both part of the same group of friends with Andrew Garfield, Eddie Redmayne and Charlie Cox. They were even roommates and dreamed of becoming famous one day.
More than twenty years later, they have all succeeded, more or less, in achieving this goal. So inevitably, when one of them meets for an interview, he is always questioned about this period of their life together. An exercise in which Jamie Dornan, who will soon be showing the spy thriller Heart of Stone, alongside Gal Gadot and Alia Bhatt, could not escape once again. This time, in front of the microphones of Wiredhe notably mentioned the rapid success of Robert Pattinson while he and the other members of the group were still confined to small roles.
“I was probably jealous of him at some point, very early on. We were all friends in London, and Rob went everywhere. Which was not our case. I think he’s the nicest man in the world.”
In a previous interview, Dornan previously revealed that Robert Pattinson’s rapid success over them had, at one point, somewhat called his fit into the band into question.
