Jamie Dornan looking forward to ‘much-needed’ break after filming Netflix drama
Northern Irish star Jamie Dornan says he is “ready for a much-needed break” after completing filming on upcoming drama The Undertow.
Described as a crime noir series, it sees Dornan play the role of identical twins Adam and Lee alongside Station Eleven actress Mackenzie Davis, who plays Adam’s wife Nicola.
Dornan told the PA news agency: “It will come out in 2025 and has been the longest job of my career, so I’m ready for a much-needed break!”
The actor, 42, has also recently been announced as Diet Coke’s new ambassador, featuring in the brand’s This Is My Taste campaign.
Dornan said he signed up as the campaign “particularly resonates with me as I love the idea of celebrating everyone’s individualism”.
He added: “We are all our own people and it’s fun to lean into what makes you, you.”
Having previously modelled for fashion houses including Calvin Klein, Dior and Giorgio Armani, Dornan said he chooses comfort over everything when it comes to style.
He explained: “I’m always on the move and have three very lively daughters, so need to feel comfortable.
“90% of the time I’m wearing navy and white, so I’d say my style is very classic.”
Dornan’s TV credits include his role as serial killer Paul Spector in BBC drama The Fall opposite Gillian Anderson as well as starring in another popular BBC series, The Tourist.
His films include starring in the Fifty Shades Of Grey trilogy with Dakota Johnson, as well as Sir Kenneth Branagh’s critically-acclaimed film Belfast, which earned him a Golden Globe nomination.

Speaking about his own style, he said: “My personal style has evolved over the years and I’d say it’s probably much safer now.
“I was more daring with colours in my 20s but I grew out of that quite quickly!”
