Jamie Dornan, star of the 'Fifty Shades' saga, has shown a part of his life that we are not used to seeing.
The actor has opened up in an interview, recounting the tragic moment that he had to live when he was a teenager and that has marked him forever.
Popular for his participation in the 'Fifty Shades of Grey saga, Jamie Dornan has always led his private life discreetly. Although he has on occasion spoken about the death of his mother, now the actor has opened up by sharing the hard time he experienced when he was just a teenager.
In an interview for the BBC, Dornan confessed how he had to deal, at just 14 years old, with the fact that his mother had pancreatic cancer. "Nothing has had more impact on my life than the death of my mother," he began to explain during the interview, just 20 years after her death. "You never get over it, now I have children and I see that they don't have a grandmother for my part, and that is strange to me."
The actor has two daughters with his wife, Amelia Warner, and a successful career that began with the character who catapulted him to fame Christian Grey. Even so, he will always feel the emptiness of the absence of his mother, Lorna. Dornan acknowledged that "you never really know what the effects of losing someone are, especially when you're so young."
About 270 people die each year from pancreatic cancer. Lorna passed away from pancreatic cancer when her son was just 16 years old. Since her death, Dornan has been working with a Northern Ireland charity (NIPanC), which raises awareness about this disease and the importance of researching it intend it.
The interpreter feels privileged to be part of this foundation, "for me, it is very important to be able to help in everything I can to change the statistics of this disease."
