He really hates acting as a profession...wonder why he's still trying

His words from new interview http://www.thetimes.co.uk/magazine/the-times-magazine/jamie-dornan-im-trying-to-think-how-i-explain-what-daddy-does-for-a-living-6lh6w9t2r



I hate when actors talk about leaving behind some *beep* legacy of work: ‘Well, I’ll always have my *beep* Hamlet in Stratford.’ Shut up, shut up! Twats.

My family are doctors. My dad’s a doctor, my mum was a nurse, my stepmother’s a doctor, my uncle’s a doctor – they do jobs that really matter. I think that thing of actors taking to their grave that they never did a ‘studio film’, they didn’t ‘sell out’ … Shut up!

He considers acting a preposterous thing to do for a living, mind you. “Five per cent of all actors are employed at any time. Five per cent! What lunatic would want to do that? I’m just happy to be employed, with those statistics.”

his daughters don’t yet know what it is he does. “I’ve been thinking about how to explain what Daddy does for a living and how absurd and ridiculous it is.”


I wonder why is he still pursuing an acting career if he feels this way...that what he does for a living is worthless.

Also calling actors who want to leave something behind them 'twats' and telling them to 'shut up' really makes him sound bitter. I guess since he'll always be remembered as Christian Grey.
