The male Kate Moss: Jamie Dornan

So, there’s good news and bad news about Jamie Dornan, the young man from Belfast dubbed the male Kate Moss’ by GQ and the Golden Torso’ by The New York Times.

The good news: he’s smart, sweet and thoughtful. Tidies up before his cleaner comes round. Carries stamps in his wallet because he likes old-fashioned letter-writing, particularly to his dad. Charming. Modest to a fault. Single. Broody. Touched by melancholia. The bad news? He wouldn’t take his top off for our photo shoot. Sorry. I did try. But at least he showed me the Dornan Furrow.

I’m not going to take my shirt off every time I’m in front of a camera,’ he explains patiently in his strong Northern Irish accent. It’s very accessible. 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? They’re like: “Let’s talk about grease and oil on your body. And aftershave. And your grooming technique.”

There’s finally Jamie news, as well. An an interview with Holly Valance she mentions doing a short film with Jamie.

Last season they turned up the heat for fashion label Aquascutum on location at the quintessentially British Cliveden House and this season, Gisele Bundchen and Jamie Dornan are back to do the same for the brand – this time posing against the scenic backdrop of London’s St Paul’s Cathedral.

“I love the passionate electricity; power is such an aphrodisiac,” Aquascutum’s ceo Kim Winser tells today’s Daily Telegraph of the images, which will appear in magazines next month.

But it’s not just the images you need to get excited about – the label has reportedly teamed up with accessories designer Sara Porro to create, for the first time, a collection of bags for both men and women, something which Winser explains is “a development with huge potential.”
