Jamie Dornan has recently delved into the candid reasons behind his past feelings of jealousy towards his former roommate and renowned Twilight star, Robert Pattinson. The Fifty Shades of Grey actor engaged in a revealing conversation as part of Wired’s “the web’s most searched questions” on August 7.
Speaking about his longstanding relationship with Pattinson, Dornan expressed, “I’ve known Rob forever. He’s a really good friend. I love him. I think he’s one of the most investing, exciting actors around.” Despite their strong bond, the Irish actor openly confessed, “I probably at one point was quite jealous early on.”
Elaborating on this sentiment, Dornan recounted the time when they were all friends in London and Pattinson’s career was ascending rapidly, while theirs was yet to take off. Dornan said, “We were all friends back in London and Rob was going places and we weren’t. I think he’s the nicest guy in the world.”
The interplay between Dornan and Pattinson has been a subject of conversation in previous interviews. Back in March 2022, Dornan offered perspectives on their changing rapport as they ascended to stardom through notable roles in franchises such as Harry Potter and Twilight. Dornan pondered, “I believe Rob and I have always had this dynamic where his success came earlier, so we found ourselves wondering, ‘Does he truly blend in with us?’ We weren’t actively working while he was consistently occupied.”
Dornan’s perspective sheds light on the challenges that arise when friends navigate disparate levels of success and fame within the entertainment industry. The dynamics of their friendship have evolved over the years, influenced by their respective trajectories.
As Dornan continues to engage with the media to promote his upcoming movie, “Heart of Stone,” he finds himself starring alongside Gal Gadot and Bollywood sensation Alia Bhatt. The film is set to premiere on Netflix on August 11, offering audiences a chance to see Dornan’s dynamic acting prowess in action once again.
