What is Jamie Dornan’s net worth? Movies, TV shows and awards

Fifth Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan has come a long way since reluctantly appearing on United Kingdom reality TV show Model Behaviour, which inadvertently launched a successful career in film and television industry.

Jamie Dornan’s reluctant modelling career

The story goes that the Irishman was pushed into taking part in the program by his sisters and became a model at the age of 19 despite being eliminated. But appearing in commercials and advertising campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands, including Abercrombie & Fitch, Hugo Boss, Dior Homme and Calvin Klein, suggests Dornan initially chose a suitable career path, as does the fact Vogue ranked him as one of their “25 Biggest Male Models of All Time” in 2015.

Fifty Shades of Grey turns Irish star into household name

He transitioned to acting in 2006, though, first gaining international recognition as Huntsman/Sheriff Graham Humbert in ABC drama series Once Upon a Time in 2011. However, it wasn’t until 2015 that Dornan truly became a household name thanks to being cast Christian Grey in erotic romantic drama Fifty Shades of Grey.

The Northern Irish star reprised the role in Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed, the second and third instalments of the Fifty Shades film series, which was poorly received critically but a huge success at the box office. Although playing Grey remains his most high-profile assignment to date, the 41-year-old “won” two Golden Raspberry Awards for his participation in the first of the three movies.

What are Dornan’s most critically acclaimed films and TV shows?

Dornan’s most critically acclaimed performances have instead come in films set in his native Northern Ireland. Between 2013 and 2016, he played serial killer Paul Spector in The Fall, a crime drama also starring The X -Files lead Gillian Anderson,.

In 2014, he earned him a BAFTA (British Academy Television Award) nomination for Best Actor and, eight years later, was nominated for a Golden Globe for the first time for his portrayal of “Pa”, a working-class father in British coming-of-age drama film Belfast.

Although he has yet to pick up one of acting’s biggest prizes, Dornan has won three critics awards during his acting career, two Irish Films and Television Awards for The Fall and was named Vertu Breakthrough Artist of the Year by GQ Magazine in 2014. He was also named The Drama Movie Star of 2018 at that year’s People’s Choice Awards for his role in Fifty Shades Freed.

Most recently, the Irishman appeared in mystery film A Haunting in Venice, directed by Kenneth Branagh in 2023, and drama thriller series The Tourist, which has appeared on both HBO Max and Netflix and received positive feedback.

How much is Jamie Dornan worth?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Dornan’s net worth stands at around $14 million, mainly as a result of his acting career.

After earning just $250,000 for the first Fifty Shades movie, he reportedly made around $5.7 million for coming back as Christian Grey in the two sequels.

It was revealed in 2018 that the actor had sold his Los Angeles home, which was located in Nichols Canyon, for $3.18 million, making a profit of around $300,000 in two and a half years.
