Jamie has said:
I just feel Irish… A lot of that’s down to so many different reasons, mostly geography, that we are an island separate from the UK, so how could you, why would you feel more connected to that other piece of land than you do to the piece of land that you are living on?
One of Jamie’s grandmothers was a first cousin of actress Greer Garson.

he wasn’t hot enough to be christian grey
Wow, this is a terrible picture of him, didn’t even recognize it was him. Ethnic you shouldn’t be wasting your money on such un-photogenic shots my man!
agree, it seems he/she/? enjoys uploading the WORST pics every time
The lighting is a little dark but otherwise this is a great picture.
I don’t see anything wrong with this pic.
the lighting. He seems to be under a shadow
Well, I understand you pay money for these pictures, I wouldn’t want you to squander your money on bad shots. I see un-photogenic pictures occasionally (Angelina Jolie, James Franco, etc) as I comprehend getting a good visual of someone’s physiognomy is important, but the photo should also be good too.
I just checked prphotos and it seems this was the only one available at the time.
It just seems like sometimes you select pictures of people when they’re making an odd countenance or experimenting with a new hairstyle (like the Gerard Butler picture he has curly hair) and not usual pictures we’re used to seeing of the person.
Really? I mean the guy isn’t the type I’d go for, but I gotta admit that he looks gorgeous in this picture. Very symmetrical face. I’d prefer smaller eyes though. lol
He was really good playing the serial killer in The Fall with Gillian Anderson.

He looks like Henry Cavill not in this picture but in other pictures
oooh 50 Shades of Grey is he? Handsome guy but he is more soft looking than what i imagined his Character to appear like(i hate that overrated piece of junk book but whatever)
