Jamie Dornan made a rare public appearance with his musician wife Amelia Warner as he supported her at the Raindance Film Festival premiere of Kathleen Is Here.
The Fifty Shades Of Grey actor and Amelia, also known by her stage name Slow Moving Millie, put on a loved-up display for the premiere in London on Tuesday.
Musician and composer Amelia, 42, worked on the music for Irish flick Kathleen Is Here – which tells the story of an 18-year-old girl who moves out of the care system and into her mother’s old home, however her life of isolation leads her to an obsession she can’t quite shake.
Amelia opted for a summery ensemble for the premiere, donning an oversized white shirt with matching shorts, as well as a pair of brown sliders and had sunglasses hanging from the collar.
Meanwhile Jamie, 42, instead chose a navy look despite the baking heat, sporting an open-neck polo shirt, as well as a pair of white trainers and aviator sunglasses.
The pair looked utterly smitten as they stepped out together for the premiere, beaming at one another as they took to the red carpet.
In January, Jamie broke down in tears during his emotional Desert Island Discs appearance, as he revealed the thing he would need to get him through would be the thought of his wife.
Jamie appeared on Lauren Laverne’s BBC Radio 4 show – where he revealed the song he would fight through the waves to retrieve would be Forever by The Beach Boys.
In an touching tribute, Jamie admitted the song would be top of the list as it reminds him of his wife, musician Amelia, who he shares three daughters with.
At the end of the interview, Lauren asked: ‘Which one track of the eight you have shared with us today would you rush to save from the waves?’
‘Forever by the Beach Boys,’ Jamie replied, before his voice cracked and he got choked up, adding: ‘The one thing I would really need to get me through is the thought of my wife and everything that she has given me and our family.’
Earlier in the show, Lauren spoke of how Jamie had been called up at last minute to play Christian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey, after the original actor pulled out.
However his wife Amelia was heavily pregnant at the time and his late father Professor Jim Dornan, a renowned Belfast obstetrician and gynaecologist, had to fly with them to Vancouver in case she went into labour.
‘I’m amazed that Millie didn’t just say no,’ he said. ‘Fair play to her what an unbelievable woman to hop on a private jet because we couldn’t fly commercially with my dad on it because if she went into labour in the sky there needed to be an obstetrician.
‘That’s in all seriousness. My dad had to come with us.’
Jamie went on to reveal that as they neared Canada, his father, who passed away in 2021 due to complications from Covid, decided to order a gin and tonic despite being ‘kind of at work’.
He said: ‘I’ll never forget we were somewhere over New York and my dad ordered a gin and tonic.
‘I was like “I don’t know dad you’re kind of at work here if Millie goes into labour” and he said “Son she won’t be going into active labour for at least seven or eight hours by which time we’ll be in Vancouver and it will be handed over to someone else”.
‘It was unbelievable. Dulcie was born three days later and we started filming.’
