You live and you learn and you glue body hair to your nether regions.
It’s all just part of growing up. Well, if you’re 50 Shades heartthrob Jamie Dornan, that is.
Celebrities often get rather candid on The Graham Norton Show, and this recent segment with Dornan, Liam Neeson and Helen Mirren was no different.

The out host asked Dornan about his late-blooming sex symbol status, prompting the actor to share just how very late-blooming it really was.
In his own words:
“I was very sporty when I was a kid, but I was a late developer: I was small, I wasn’t very hairy, just one of those guys who, y’know, I was a bit behind and I was young for my year and that had a big effect on me or whatever.”

He went on to describe a prop in a school play intended to make him look older — a repurposed wig glued to his face.
“Now, I was 15, I looked about seven. I had no hair or anything. Anyway, in the play, they had given me this sort of black, very acrylic, highly flammable wig that they used to cut off and UHU (glue) to my face to give me a beard, to give the appearance I was older.”
Watch the dramatic conclusion, including a fumbled attempt at hooking up, below:

I love English entertainers.

Jamie Dornan is Irish as is Liam Neeson and Graham Norton. The only English person in that clip is Helen Mirren.

Oh, what a shock, I can’t watch the video clip as it NEVER WORKS on this website.

Queerty use WayWire to monetise the videos and it appears the version they’re running is incompatible with iOS.

I have Windows 10 and WayWire works OK.

The fact he could even tell that story – which a LOT of teen age boys could identify with makes him that much more adorable!

The guy’s a douche. Jamie Dornan is a douche. For real, maybe he should have taped/glued a plastic dick down there bc he needs it. His own is just a silly little noodle that nobody cares about, even Asian ladies don’t care about it. Even *I* don’t care about it and I care about every single dick that God ever created. Except perhaps his.

I thought he was funny, honest, vulnerable. I’m unsure what evidence you have of him being otherwise a douche? Is he cocky in his roles, maybe, but that is why he acts it well if you buy his character as real.

I couldn’t understand a word he said. Does he have that accent in the movie? I don’t know why actors who can speak without their accents go back to using them in their daily lives.

Seriously? If you’re an actor and put on an accent (whether you think it’s more understandable or not), why would he not then go back to his natural normal accent that he’s used pretty much all of his life around his friends and family? Why should he be the only one not using his native accent around everyone else who sounds the same?
