Jamie Dornan, journalist sa bagong pelikula
NATUTUWA si Jamie Dornan, 36, na mas kilala bilang si Christian Grey sa Fifty Shades franchise, dahil sa iba’t ibang proyekto na kanyang natatanggap at ginagawa ngayon.
Nakausap namin kamakailan ang charming actor tungkol sa kanyang dalawang pelikula. Ito ay ang A Private War kung saan gaganap siya bilang si
Paul Conroy, isang war photojournalist at sa HBO TV movie na My Dinner With Herve, na ang karakter naman ni Danny Tate, isang struggling journalist, ang kanyang gagampanan. Ito ay batay sa later days ng Fantasy Island actor na si Herve Villechaize.
“Both projects are so different,” sabi ni Jamie. “They are incomparable in terms of the story and the characters and the world in which they’re both set. That’s a big appeal to me, to try to offer something different with every job. That variety is something that really excites me about being an actor. I don’t think it’d be a very satisfied person or feel fulfilled if I was playing the same kind of character over and over.”
Gumaganap siyang journalist sa parehas na proyekto. “It was just total coincidence that I ended up playing two journalists in the same year,” giit niya. “I guess you’re just drawn by story and by script. They were so vastly different in their capacity as journalists.”
Kung magkakaroon siya ng pagkakataon na kapanayanim ang isang tao, sino ito?
“Probably (Frank) Sinatra, just the complexity of him and his involvement with things outside of the game that he was in,” aniya. “He’s one of those people who has always fascinated me in terms of how huge he was, the impact he had, the influence he had and how scared people were of him. He’d be a fascinating person to spend an evening with.”
Anong pananaw ang napagtanto niya mula sa naturang role tungkol sa buhay ng isang journalist?
“I think it might have to be a wee bit mad anyway to be a journalist of any kind,” pag-amin niya. “But in a good way and it’s the same madness you need to have to be an actor or to endeavor to do anything that’s creative or outside of what people seem to be normal. But it’s a particular madness that you need to cover war. It’s something in your makeup that you need to drive you to go to those places and see those things. The guy I depicted, Paul Conroy in that movie, showed me pictures that were deemed unprintable by newspapers that I almost struggle talking about. I’ve never seen nothing like it in my life, some of the stuff that he saw, photographs.”
Dagdag pa niya, “His photos were stuff you can’t even un-see. So it takes a certain type of person to be ok with seeing that stuff and ultimately very damaging. Most people who work in that field are damaged. But yeah, very different worlds to interviewing actors and stuff.”
