Jamie Dornan is desperate to star in a romantic comedy with Angelina Jolie.
The Northern Irish heartthrob – the ex-boyfriend of British actress Keira Knightley – revealed the ‘A Mighty Heart’ actress is his perfect leading lady.
He told BANG Showbiz: “I’d love to do a romantic comedy with Angelina Jolie – she’s kind of flawless to me. I don’t think she’d want to do a romantic comedy with me though – I’m not sure that would be her bag!
“Sometimes I think it’s harder to be a leading man in a romantic comedy if you’re not English. I think the English do that really well – that sort of slightly camp, slightly pathetic thing. I’m not saying Colin Firth or Hugh Grant are pathetic – far from it! I think they are both great. But I would like to have a crack at it.”

The executive producer of the first Hammer horror film in more than 30 years has urged fans to move with the times.
Hammer Films chief executive Simon Oakes, who bought the company in May last year, promised to protect its cinematic legacy but insisted that the “nostalgic folklore” of 1950s horror films had to give way to modern trends.
Accordingly, instead of playing on big screens, new movie Beyond The Rave will air from April 17 in five-minute instalments on MySpace – as a joint venture with the social networking site – before being released as a feature film on DVD.
It is expected to reach some 100 million people in 19 countries and in nine different languages, and while the Hammer horrors of the 1950s and 1960s made household names of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing in classics like Dracula, the new film – shot as a full-length film but released twice weekly on the internet – features Sadie Frost and sets vampires against a backdrop of a drug-fuelled rave.
Oakes defended the modern production, saying: “We have an opportunity to recalibrate the DNA of Hammer Films for the MySpace generation.
“Hammer will make theatrical motion pictures but an important part of our strategy is what we are doing with MySpace.”
Beyond The Rave’s cast also includes Jamie Dornan, Nora-Jane Noone, and Football Factory actor Tamer Hassan, who described his character as “like George Clooney’s in From Dusk Till Dawn”.

Next month sees the rebirth of one of British cinema’s most famous exports, Hammer Horror. The legendary studio, which hasn’t produced a movie for 30 years, has joined forces with MySpace to create a groundbreaking web event. The studio’s new movie Beyond The Rave will be premiered on the popular social network in a series of 20 ‘webisodes’ that collectively make a 90 minute movie, which will be released on DVD in June. The film, which stars Jamie Dornan, Sadie Frost and Hammer scream queen Ingrid Pitt, will be chock full of songs by the likes of Justice, Teenage Bad Girl, Deadly Avenger, Dustin Swint, along with original music by Pete Tong. This is Tong’s first foray into film music, who previously worked as music supervisor on Human Traffic, as well as producing the film It’s All Gone Pete Tong.
Hammer Studios’ Beyond The Rave launches globally on MySpace in April.
