A quick search for “Jamie Dornan Twitter” isn’t going to reveal much of anything. Why? Well, it is because Jamie Dornan doesn’t have an active Twitter account anymore.
Despite the lack of an active social media account, the phrase “Jamie Dornan Twitter” is currently trending on Google. Many may speculate that this could have something to do with fans wanting to know why Dornan lacks a Twitter account.
Fortunately – for anyone who is curious – Jamie Dornan has opened up about why he lacks an active Twitter account. Keep reading to find out why.
If you were to do a quick search for “Jamie Dornan Twitter,” the first result you are going to encounter would be Twitter account called Jamie Dornan Online with the handle @JamieDornan_org. In the bio of the Twitter account, the owner makes it very clear that the account belongs to a French fan of Jamie named Anthony.
If you decide to pop directly onto Twitter and perform a search for Jamie Dornan on the social media platform, you are going to find an account called Fifty Shades Darker with the handle @FiftyShadesEN. This Twitter account, which is also nothing more than a fan account, focuses on the film Fifty Shades Darker which Jamie Dornan stars in.
While there are a number of Jamie Dornan fan accounts on Twitter, the actor himself is not actually active on the social media platform. The question is – why?
Per International Business Times , Jamie Dornan did have an active Twitter account at one point in time. However, following how rapidly he came into the spotlight after he was cast for Fifty Shades of Grey , he distanced himself from all forms of social media – not just Twitter.
During an interview with Marie Claire UK , he talked about how delighted he was to finally be married because he would no longer have to deal with people speculating over his love life. He, however, was not a big fan of his fans talking about his life off-screen through social media .
Dornan went on to discuss that it was more than just people attacking and saying nasty things about him. He claims people would also come after his family as well. Fans attacking his family was where Dornan drew the line.
“It’s one of the main reasons I left social media. They say horrific things about your loved ones…”
The last time Jamie was active on Twitter was nearly three years ago, in February of 2014, when he mourned the death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman. While the official Facebook page of Jamie Dornan is still active, it does not contain any personal updates via Jamie himself.

Jamie Dornan married his wife Amelia Warner back in 2013. The couple has two daughters together. Dornan claims having a wife and two daughters makes his job a little easier. As fans of Jamie may recall, he has also played the role of a serial killer named Paul Spector in a series called The Fall for several years now. Jamie believes his wife and children give him a nice reality to come back to after a long and hard day at work.
“The kids are a great way of breaking you out of whatever. You have no choice but to enter their world when you get home.”
Filming of the Fifty Shades franchise is officially wrapped up and Jamie is relieved to have the opportunity to spend more time with his wife and children. He claims to want to be involved in his children’s life and gets frustrated when he has to spend so much time at work.
“I want to be a very hands-on father and I have been so far with both of my children. At times, I’ve been very frustrated that I’ve had to work so soon after my wife going through that [childbirth], because you want to be there as much as you can.”
