Jamie made a surprise appearance on The Talk last week and Sharon Osbourne’s reaction was everything.
After gushing about the Fifty Shades star, he’s welcomed onto the show to everyone’s surprise, especially Sharon, who can’t quite believe that he’s there. She barely talks throughout the interview, instead she’s touching him, rubbing him, looking at him and hanging onto his every word.
Fall in love with Sharon and her reactions by watching the clip below.
Mr. Grey has been a busy man this past week! While embarking on the North American Press Tour for Fifty Shades Darker, Jamie Dornan had a lineup of talk show interviews in the works and sat down with Jimmy Kimmel, among others, on January 31 to chat all things Darker.
The host of the late night talk show has now sat down to chat with Dornan twice, the first time being last November. This time, he sat down with Kimmel to talk Fifty Shades Darker, how his character has evolved and what fans of the franchise can expect with the second installment.
By now, we’ve all seen Jamie’s buzz cut which was the first thing Kimmel asked about. “Did you shave your head for a role?” “Yeah, it’s for work. When I was in my early twenties, I used to have a shaved head, quite a lot, so I know I don’t have one of those (knobby) heads,” as he sweeps his hand across the back of his head. At least it’s not cold in LA!
Jimmy seemed to be quite intrigued by a photo of Jamie with Josh Gad and Don Rickles, so naturally, he asked about it “It’s a photograph of you and Josh Gad and Don Rickles. What was going on here?” “I look very red and drunk,” Jamie replies, making the audience laugh alongside him. “I was having dinner with Don Rickles and his wife Barbara as you do, and Josh Gad happened to just come into the restaurant.”
“How did you end up having dinner with Don Rickles and his wife Barbara in the first place?”
“Uhm, they invited me,” elaborating that they’ve became kind of e-mail buddies throughout the years, to which Jimmy joked that there’s no way Rickles knows to email.
Jamie has always been fond of Rickles and speaks very highly of him. “I’m a big fan of Sinatra and Dean Martin and Joy Bishop (…) and Don was just the one who stuck out to me in all of those.”
“Do you still live in Belfast?” Jimmy asks. “No I don’t live in Belfast anymore, no. I live just outside of London.”
“Have you ever lived here in Los Angeles?”
“I’ve spent a lot of time here. I used to come over here for little stints to try and get work. The first time I came over here, I thought ‘I’ll try to immerse myself in the LA way of life and I’ll join the gym because everyone’s like really into that here. So I joint this gym, ‘Equinox’ on Sunset. I signed up and I went into train and the first person I see if your man Fabio. And he was there with all his hair and all that, and he’s wearing a very loose fitting tank top and he was doing pull ups and he had a crowed around him.
“How long ago was this?”
“This was you know, twelve years ago or something.”
“OK, still not at the height of Fabio Fever. How many pull ups was he doing?”
“He was doing enough to form a crowd. I didn’t join the crowed I just sort of went, “Well maybe LA’s not for me.” Dornan prides himself on his homeland and LA would seem to busy for him.
After returning from a commercial break, we’re privy to a scene from the masqurade ball in which Ana dishes out $24K on a trip to Aspen, which in turn donates to the ‘Coping Together’ campaign, spearheaded by Grace (Christian’s mom)
“(The Premier) is on Thursday.”
“You are in a great field of danger at this thing. Do you have security, like a person who’s hired to keep women away from you to like, keep them off of you?”
“I don’t think that’s exclusively all that hard to do but on a night like that…” “That’s their number one job.”
And do you have people grabbing at you?”
“I don’t mind that. I’m really gonna regret saying that.”
“Your dad, I learned today, has invented a new soccer game that’s becoming popular around the world. What is the game exactly?”
“It’s called Circular Soccer. My dad’s dad who sadly died before I was born, he played soccer for Ireland and so they played this game – a version of this game – when we were kids, when dad was a kid. So dad’s kind of developed it for modern day.”
“Dads got a very active mind and he wants to keep producing, giving something to the world.”
