Google “Jamie Dornan torso” and there you are. I’ve done it enough that I really don’t see how it’s interesting any more. People assume you’re stupid enough as it is. Then you take your shirt off and they’re like, “He must be an idiot.” Seriously, people approach me and you can see it in their eyes.’ They speak to you very s-l-o-w-l-y?
